How I built this website

...and why you need a website, too!

Home > About Me > Detailed Success Story


Starting SBI! is more than putting up a site, more than even building a successful e-business. With SBI! you can change your life!


Photo of me This page is a follow-up of my "About Me" page. The reason why I created this "continuation"? Simple. I now get a lot of E-Mails from people asking me questions about SBI! and if it is something for them. I hope to answer some of those questions here and I also hope to reduce my daily E-Mails a bit :-).

Thanks to SBI! I now make a nice 2nd income besides University! It's all passive income and I am on my way to posses my very own online business when I will leave University in 2010. I can run it from every corner in the world - just with a notebook and an Internet connection.

The great thing about it? Everybody can do it with EVERY theme. You can do it. There's this "life-changing" potential benefit of SBI!. Getting to work from home, quitting the day job, finding a new lifestyle or generating extra income.

This page describes what SBI! can do for you in greater detail. BUT, if you haven't read my About Me page, please do so BEFORE you start reading this page.

Why just build a website...
...when you could build a business?!

SBI! makes online business success do-able. Anyone can succeed with an all-in-one process, tools, and guidance.

The process is simplified to such a degree that success (i.e., profits, not the mere presence of a website) is achievable even for a beginner. For an experienced person, achieving success is even smoother. SBI! really does change lives.

But, be careful.

Too many non-SBI! sites start without profits being "built into" the process from DAY 1. It all begins with the right process. Content Traffic PREsell Monetize is the underlying, logical and powerful process that capitalizes upon the fundamental realities of how people use the Web. C T P M puts you on a solid, profitable business foundation.

What I absolutely like: You are carefully guided every step of the way, which make success that much more do-able. Advanced help is also available (when you are ready for it), all designed to save you time and keep you moving forward.

Nevertheless, what if you still need help?

SBI! comes with unlimited Customer Support. SBI! owners often call it the best they've ever experienced. And the SBI! Forums complete the picture. They are the most friendly, help-and-be-helped set of e-business forums in the world.

And, by the way...

SBI! has no "satisfied customers"...
Only raving fans!





What I find the "key benefit" of Site Build It! is that it provides tools, guidance, and coaching to help you stay focused on the correct actions.

Now, I will show you how I used SBI! to build this website and how I will build even more websites in the future.
I think that's the best (and easiest) way to show you the whole picture.

The thought behind is very easy (and for real).
If you have a hobby, a passion or a skill - convert that knowledge into a website (which will then make you money).

OK. The first thing I did (and what SBI! tells you in the beginning) was to watch the whole Action Guide. Your mentor. Continuous mentoring via the Action Guide and online help is always available. Learn by reading (written guide) or watching (video guide)!

Of course, you can have a look at the demo version of the Action Guide.

The next step is to...

...Find the right site topic

I got a few E-Mails from people who were worried about a site topic. "I am very interested - but I have no idea what my website should be about...".

My answer? "That's great! You have an open mind and aren't fixed onto a special topic." I made the same experience when I started. Do you think I knew right up front that my site would be about Croatia? Noooooo.

I had other topics in my mind. I used the SBI! tools to Brainstorm those topics, but I quickly realized that those topics are way to competitive - or there are very view people looking for information about that topic. Don't worry, they are telling you what to choose and what NOT to choose as your site topic.

Choosing your best site concept is not always as obvious as you might think. Tools like Brainstorm It! and Niche Choose It! show you the best path for your particular business, reveal some surprises, and help you make the right choice.

***Case Study Beginning***
How I build pages with SBI!

1. Easily find topics related to your niche that will pull in traffic and generate income.

SBI! makes it very easy for you to find profitable keywords to write a page about. Simple said, you want to have a high demand and low competition for that page.

You can find those topics easily with the tool "Brainstorm It!". This powerful tool now goes to the Internet (very simple said) and brings back all those valuable keywords... and that within seconds! A very big time saver. Those keywords are then stored into an easy to use table, your so called "Master keyword list".

Here's an example:

I want to add a page to my website, which ranks high in the search engines and attracts decent traffic. Here is how I am doing it with the help of SBI's Block-by-Block builder and Anlalyze It! tool.

At first I have to find a profitable keyword. Profitable means that there are enough people searching for this keyword and that it is also winnable in the search engines (not to much competition).

This time I want to find a topic related to "flights Croatia". I now used the Brainstorm It! tool to find different combinitions of these words, which people search through the search engines.

You can see the results from my querry in the screenshot below (I have reduced the list to four keywords to make it easier)

Master keyword list

Now that I found a good keyword with 162 demand and 17 competition I can start writing an article about "cheap flights croatia". (The Action Guide tells you exactly what a "good keyword" is and if it's worth to write about).

2. Now it's time to build the site.
I would say it's like stacking blocks.

Page creation is as simple as riding a bike with its training wheels still attached. No need to know HTML.

The block-by-block builder trains you how to write a page that is both "Search Engine and human effective." It's simple, do-able and most importantly, effective site-building. The block-by-block builder is perfect for beginners, but even many "advanced" users should start with this tool. It's an excellent way to break bad habits!

Have a look on the screenshot below. Here you can see how I built a page about the keyword "cheap flights croatia".

Block-by-block builder

There are entries for the name of the page, a headline, keywords and some other possibilities. You will learn where to put in the keyword, how often you should use it in your content etc. It's absolutely fantastic and it helps you to gain high search engine rankings.

3. Let Analyze It! check your page for best search engine rankings

If you finished the page you should press the "Analyze It" button. This very helpful tool now analyses your page for specific criteria.

Those are if you placed your keyword (in my case "cheap flights croatia") in your title of the page, into the description, headline in a text link and the exact number of times you must use the keyword in your content.

Analyze it button

Over time you will become a very well trained "website builder" and know how to write a page. That way, you have the foundation to get the best possible rankings.

Of course, SBI! is also compatible with popular HTML editors (ex., Dreamweaver) and image tools (ex., Photoshop, Flash, etc.), you can easily use advanced page-building techniques, if you like. This allows for maximum creative flexibility for all skill levels.

Finally, click on the "Build It!" button and Voila... Your page is now online and has been submitted to the major search engines :-) That's easy!

And that's also one of the things I love SBI! for because that is your fully automated, powerful marketing tool! (Submitting any new page or change to the search engines).

You can now have a look at my finished article here: cheap flights Croatia

That way you can create more and more great pages which will bring you more and more vistors which will generate more and more income for you. The snowball is rolling downhill... I think you got it, right? :-)

***Case Study End***


SBI really makes your online success do-able, even simple. But not "easy."

Why "simple" but not "easy?"

"Simple" merely means you can do it. The C T P M process and tools makes it all so do-able. But, like any serious, real business, it is not easy. You have to do the work.

Bottom line?

I would simple say that this robust suite of tools will definitely put the odds of success in your favor.



And don't forget. If your site topic is something you love, it never actually feels like "work". And you can do it in your free time!


What if I can't write?

One of the things people e-mail me over and over again is that they can not write.

You really don't need to have exceptional writing skills to build a successful online business.

I am living proof that you don't have to be a "genious-writer". Heck, English even is my 2nd language. So what? They teach you everything you need to know to build a profitable website, and that includes how to write compelling content.

Dr. Ken Evoy wrote a series of books which have helped hundreds of thousands of entrepreneurs and small businesses.

Make Your Content PREsell

Make Your Content PREsell! and

Make Your Words Sell

Make Your Words Sell!, formerly books sold by SiteSell, are now free. Just follow the links and download your free copy. They are literally the dynamic duo of "Web-writing."


I get SBI for $299 for the first year. What does it cost after that? Are there any financial traps?

Don't worry. There are absoluteley NO traps :-)

The yearly subscription fee is $299. That's less than $1 per day (actually 82 Cents per day). The fee is always the same. Year after year.

What I also like about it: New tools are added continuously so you can feel secure that you'll always have the most up-to-date site-building and marketing tools. Price for those additions? Zero. You just pay the yearly subscription fee.

Have I mentioned that SBI! was the best investment in my life? No joke.

You can't go wrong by giving it a try. The way I see it? You have nothing to loose and everything to gain.


SBI TV

Watch SBIs' TV...

I will leave you with Dr. Ken Evoy, the founder of the company SiteSell and the creator of Site Build It! - SBI!.

Dr. Evoy realized that the average business person needs more than some information in books, no matter how good. S/he needs both the C T P M process and an all-in-one website hosting, building and marketing suite of tools that enables them to execute the process flawlessly. To this day, SBI! is unique.

Simply click on the little TV and he will personally show you around SBI! via the TV.

I also watched this "TV" before I jumped into SBI! and can only say that by watching it, you can see with absolute clarity how Site Build It! works and helps you succeed.
