Susan Gast working on her SBI! websites

We have the choice to not be tethered to a desk at a boring job we hate. We can, instead, tether ourselves to our own desk and love it! Covid-19 played a huge role in our working habits.

Start a NEW e-business with SBI!

Traditional Ways Falling Apart?

Traditional ways of doing business are falling apart—meaning they are changing rapidly. Take book publishing, for instance.

Authors can now self-publish on Amazon and other places. It's a great way to start a new business. The gatekeepers of the big publishing companies do not have a stranglehold on new authors anymore.

Admittedly, it makes the competition out there steeper with more and more authors. But competition is good—it keeps prices in check.

It may also mean you have to work a little harder; put out a better product—be the best you can be—and do the best you can do.

Chart Your Own Course and Start A New Business

What better way to earn income on the side, or have it replace a full-time job you hate(!), by creating a winning website. One that your visitors love, and you enjoy putting together. You are in total control.


SBI!

And it's never been easier to start a new business and chart your own course.

The internet has made it possible to reach millions of people not only in your own country but around the world.

This opens up the endless possibilities for customers worldwide.

But, to reiterate, competition can be fierce.

You need to get the right ammunition. There is no point in going off half-cocked with a "free" website. You honestly do "get what you pay for" as the saying goes.

Do those "free website" companies teach you

  • How to build a business plan?
  • How to do keyword research?

No Siree Bob. But SBI! does.

They also have SBI! for WordPress users too.


With SBI, it's easy to get your site up an running with their Action Guide. How about making sure your site is mobile-friendly? Yup, how to do that is in there too.


You Get EVERYTHING You Need With SBI! Including AI

I also use WordPress sites. Their templates are great and are free (hosting isn't, don't forget—you still have to pay for hosting!) But, and there's always a but!—I get tired of just about every day having to update the plugins. Every time I log in, I have to spend precious time updating and updating and updating... there's none of that needed over at SBI!

Speaking of templates, SBI! does have a good selection, and all of them can be customized to fit your needs. Don't like the header in the template? Then upload your own header instead! Do you want horizontal navigation bars instead of vertical bars? No problem. Change the color scheme or headline font. Easily done inside Site Designer on a site-wide basis.

Do you want to have a blog page? Easy... I have a "Recent Articles" sidebar/column that links to the blog page that links to the corresponding site pages. Automagically.

It's all so easy to do too. Yes, I'm going to use that very old-worn out saying, "If I can do it, you can do it too!"—Yes, YOU can start a new business of your very own!

Ken Evoy and Solo Build-It! (Formerly Site Build-It)

This site was created with SBI!. Its founder, Ken Evoy, goes way out of his way to help you succeed. Their support staff is phenomenal too. The company recently updated SBI! to stand for Solo Built It! The company was originally known as SiteSell.

I was blown away (and still am) by the vast amount of resources at SBI!. Got a question? Visit the friendly forums. Still in need of an answer? Then contact "Support." They have never let me down yet.

The amazing gals in support know me well—don't you Bonnie, Carol, Jenny, Laura, and Debs? :-)



SBI!

You DO Get What You Pay For!

It always amazes me when people ask, "What site builder do you use, Susan?" and I reply SBI! and then the next question is always, "How much does it cost?"

When I tell them you can get going for as little as $39 a month (you save a ton if you choose the yearly plan, see more below), they balk. 

I don't know about you, but I cannot think of ANY SINGLE BUSINESS you can start with such a LOW OVERHEAD of a little over a DOLLAR A DAY. Can't be done. No way with a brick-and-mortar store!

It's Time to Get Excited!

Everyone knows something... How about sharing your passion? So long as your passion is something that can benefit someone else, then you have a shot at creating a successful online business.

If it's too obscure a passion, then keep it as your passion—a hobby. You can choose to run your SBI! website as a hobby! Keep your mind active...

When You Get an "A-Ha!" Moment

Take note of the many "a-ha" moments you've had and start a new business website with your idea. Like when you were frustrated while washing the car with an old cloth that kept falling into the dirt—and you know that a washing-mitt would be better... (yes, I'm sure it's already been invented by now).

Regarding verifying your idea for a website, SBI! provides their SearchIt! tool—to make sure you don't go ahead with an idea that's already been trademarked, etc.

SBI! comes complete with traffic stats, link trackers, sub-domain plug-in capability, and keyword research tools...

...but wait, there's more! :-)

Libraries for Images, Links, Trackers, Reusable Blocks... and much more!

SBI! has an

  • Image Library
  • Tracker Library
  • Link Library
  • Reusable Block Library
  • Form Library

plus, included at no extra cost, are easy-to-use email and Newsletter capabilities!

SBI! also includes a Special File Manager to upload a short eBook to be delivered as a freebie, for instance.

Included is an RSS feed set-up. Then there's Name Park It! so you can park domain names safely.

The Traffic Center is loaded with goodies to aid in Search Engine HQ, Image Search HQ, Local Search, and other search tools too!

Tips, Techniques, Monetization Methods... and More!

You are not left floundering—there are

  • Tips 'n' Techniques
  • Monetization Methods
  • Google Studies

and much, much more.

Their site-builder, called Block Builder (BB2 latest version), is absolutely awesome! When you've created your page, take advantage of the "Analyze It!" tool that combs your page for word count and checks that your file name, page title, keywords, and description are used correctly.

It's "SEO" (search engine optimization) done the RIGHT way—NEVER black hat.

SBI! really "has your back" and now is a great time to start a new business—hey you may even get big enough to hire help! But—if that scenario is too scary and you like working solo—then building a website is a perfect way to get your feet wet!
