Top questions and review of Site Build It

Many people wonder how you can use Site Build It to make and design a money making website without any web building or programming experience. Here are some top questions that one of our affiliates, Nicole answered for us. I hope it would set your mind at ease.

#1 Can you explain simply how Site Build It works?

In a nutshell Site Build It is an online/download program that guides you step by step how to turn a hobby/passion/interest/…into an online business through building a website.
This is not just some software that you are left to follow on your own but it is a program whereby you are supported all the time by real people either in the forum or in the SBI headquarters. You are guided every step of the way.

#2 How much does it cost?

It costs $299 USD per year. I've paid the same amount since I started in 2003! That works out at just under $1 USD per day. There are no extras to pay and no hidden costs.

#3 Can anyone use Site Build It and do I need to already know how to build a website?

YES anyone can use Site Build It and NO you don't need to know anything at all about building a website. Of course it helps but is not obligatory.
I knew nothing when I started (remember I was on a dial up connection and could just about surf the internet).
Site Build It have an incredibly simple block by block website building system. They have stacks of templates which you can customize and they guide you the whole way. Of course if you want to make a more complicated website or use your own templates, they allow you to do that too!

#4 How do you actually make money?

I wondered that too! There are 2 main ways:
Firstly you might sell a product (or service) that you own or make e.g. homemade jewellery, eBooks, graphic design, language translation. You will physically ship or provide a service.
Secondly you might sell a product/service that you don't own - this is what I do. In this case you join forces with a supplier (I joined forces with various party product suppliers) and then if I refer people to them who then go on to buy their products, I get a small percentage of the sale. This is called "Affiliate Marketing".
Don't get scared of that word as Site Build It will explain it all in a very simple way and walk you through the whole process.
There are other ways to earn as well such as by putting Google ads on your web pages or writing articles for other sites plus many more.

#5 I have no idea what to build a website about. Can you suggest anything?

This is a question that I get asked all the time and I asked myself the same question when I started.
Don't worry though as Site Build It walk you through the whole process of how to choose something interesting and profitable to you.
For some examples here are some websites that other SBI'ers have built

#6 How long did it take you to build your website?

I won't pretend that you can build it in a day or even a month. It takes time. Remember though you are not just building a website you are aiming to build a business, a business that earns you money.
Site Build It have what they call a "10 day" course to enable you to get your website up and running. Although they use the word 'day', a day sometimes took me several days or a week. It all depends how much time you can devote to it.
I started kids-partycabin in early 2003 and it took me about one month to put my up my first few pages but another 6 months before I felt I had a decent looking website.
I started my second website learn-french-today in 2007 and it was so much quicker to get going as I already had the experience behind me.
I never stop building them though as there is always something new to write about. I'm always thinking up new kids party games and or plotting and planning new kids party themes.

#7 How much money do you earn a month?

The big question that everyone wants to know and quite rightly too! You want to know that your time and effort is paying off.
My first year on both my websites I earned nothing. Remember the first year you need to build the foundations of your business and this is hugely important. You need to research and plan – Site Build It shows you how to do all that.
The second year I earned double of my Site Build It fee and each year after that my income has doubled.
I now earn around $1200 per month on kids-partycabin.com and am just starting to earn on learn-french-today.com as that is just a year old.
Some people earn much more than me but they probably put in more time and effort. You put in what suits you.

#8 How many hours do you work a day?

As I don't go out to work and my kids are no longer babies, I have more time than other work at home mums.
I probably spend about 4 hours a day at the computer but a lot of that time is spent gleaning information and tips off the Site Build It forum. Some days I don't work at all and other days I just answer emails.

#9 What if I get stuck or I want my money back?

When I started 5 years ago, I relied on the Site Build support center - I had so many questions I wonder if they ever got fed up with me. They say not!
You are lucky though as recently they have set up a fantastic forum which is alive and throbbing with people like you and me, all trying to set up a web business. There are beginners and experts alike all asking every manner of questions. It really is the best forum I have come across.
Site Build It also have a 30 day 100% money back guarantee and after that you are refunded on a pro-rata basis, for whatever part of the year remains. Not bad at all compared to other programs.
