You may have heard a lot of people talking about SBI (also known as Site Built It) and you probably heard what sounded like a lot of hype. In the past few years the internet has become full of scams and people trying to steal your money from every angle so it’s good if you didn’t believe what you heard or where sceptical. This is an introductory page for SBI and I am going to explain (accurately and honestly) what SBI is and if you were to buy it would it suit your needs.
SBI was originally called Site Build It and the term SBI was only used as an abbreviation. However they recently renamed Site Build It to SBI and no longer want to call it Site Build It. Their reasoning for doing this is actually a good one, SBI is not simply a website builder (there is much more to it than that) and the name Site Build It may have created some misunderstandings.
So what exactly is SBI. SBI is basically a full course (online) that teaches you how to create a successful online business. That pretty much means they teach you how to make a profitable website, they call it an online business instead of a website because essentially it is your business and you should treat it like that. SBI also contains many different tools which you get introduced to over time when you need them. SBI starts off by making sure you know everything you need to know before you start building your website. When you are ready SBI has a range of tools to help you easily build your website and create your content.
As I mentioned at the start of this page there is a lot of talk about SBI being a scam or you may have thought it was a scam because of the extreme amount of hype you have been hearing. I will say right now that SBI is definitely not a scam and yes it is also way over hyped by many people. Why is SBI overhyped by certain people, because if they can convince you to buy SBI through their affiliate link they make a nice commission off you. Even though I am saying SBI is often overhyped this doesn’t mean that SBI is not a good product and I am definitely not saying you shouldn't buy it. My point here is that SBI is not for everyone and I am not going to try and persuade anyone to use it, I am offering honest information so that you can make your own decision to buy SBI or not.
So now that you know SBI is not a scam let’s look at what SBI offers over a generally website hosting company. I will state up front that SBI is more expensive than your general hosting account (i.e. Hostgator), SBI comes in at $300 for a full year or $30 per month compared to general website hosting that comes in around about $5-10 a month. Now that you know the price difference we can look at what SBI offers the makes it worth more than your normal hosting account. To make this a little easier for you to follow I have made the table below instead of writing up multiple paragraphs.

Important Pre-Building Info |
SBI has a wealth of good information to help beginners make all the right decisions before you start creating your website. |
General website hosting offers little (to no) help here and it is usually assumed that you know the basics about websites. |
|
Help With Creating Your Site |
Many tools to assist you here in the many parts of creating your website. Easy to use website creation tools and no coding needed what so ever. Tools to help you choose the right keywords you should focus on, etc. Very helpful for absolute beginners and people who aren’t exactly good with computers. |
Depends on the hosting company. Although you are not shown how to use anything most hosting companies have some tools to help. For example Fantastico allows you to automatically install many different applications to your site. However there is usually no help or guidance here, very hard for absolute beginners to get anywhere. |
|
Building Traffic To Your Site |
Again SBI has a great deal of helpful information here and also a bunch of tools that you can use to help build traffic to your website. SBI also tracks everything that happens on your website and lets you know how you are getting your traffic. Plus many other great features to help beginners build traffic and also helpful to experienced web masters. |
Most web hosting companies offer no help what so ever here. Building traffic to your website is something you will need to learn yourself. |
|
Monetizing Your Website |
Once again SBI also has this covered with a great deal of information to teach you about the different ways you could monetize your website. Also helps you in deciding which monetization method is better suited to your website. |
No real help here although there is quite a lot of free information around the web that teaches you ways you can make money with a website, this site for example. |
By now you should have a decent overview as to what you get with an SBI account, but is SBI really for you. I have said it a few times and I’ll say it again, SBI is not for everyone but it can be very helpful and valuable to many people. If I had to summarize in a single sentence who should use SBI it would probably be something like this:
SBI is best suited to new comers who don’t know too much about websites, aren’t exactly computer savvy and want to generate a decent income online.
That’s probably the best way I could say it in one sentence. Now for those of you who already have a website and know most of the basics it may still be useful to you. That is if your current efforts with trying to make money with a website have gotten you nowhere and you haven’t earned a single dollar.
So if you have only recently started looking into making a website to try and make some type of income online and you are not really that good with computers then you should give SBI a go. If you are pretty good with computers and you have researched a lot to do with making a website and generating money online then SBI might be a waste of your time.
You can watch the Video below for more of an intro to SBI, just note that it is a promotional video from SBI.
So if you have decided to get you own SBI account I will have a link just below here that will take you to the SBI website. Yes this will be my affiliate link and if you do decide to get SBI please use the link below and help support this website. Affiliate links and Advertising are what keeps this website free and updated.

I am working on a full Tutorial guide to SBI to further help those that buy SBI. The tutorials will cover the important steps and sections of SBI and show you how to use each part to get the most out of it.
Plus in the near future I will be starting a new SBI website and I will record all the work I do. Every time I work on that SBI site I will record it and post up weekly reports of what I did that week plus what type of results I am getting for the work I have put in. So it will basically be you sitting beside me as I make an SBI website every step of the way. This likely won’t begin for a few months so if you are thinking of getting SBI I would recommend getting it now and not waiting. Remember the sooner you start the sooner you will become successful, it is all a matter of time, the longer you wait, the longer it takes.
