My Site Build It Review
In The Work-at-Home Dream, I explained how I'm earning my living from this website - using an exceptional program called Site Build It. This generates a lot of interest among people looking to work at home or earn some extra money during the recession.
So I'm going to share my story: how I built this website and exactly how I make money from it. If you follow these steps, you too can make your own income generating website - and in time even quit your day job.
This website generates passive income 24/7 - and that steadily increases over time, no matter how much time I spend working on it. You can do this too, if you follow the famed SBI Action Guide. Read on and I'll explain everything...
What is Site Build It?
Site Build It is a 10-day lesson in online business. It teaches you how to build your own unique income-generating website, based on your own hobby or life experiences. You are given all the tools and advice you need to succeed.
Site Build It is not a get rich quick scam, and it won't help you quit your day job overnight. But it is an efficient way to make money online (for many, a few hundred or thousand dollars per month). In time it's definitely possible to earn more than $10k per month if you commit yourself to this fun process.
I began SBI as a fun hobby project I did in my spare time. Today, I get to work at home with a secure income. That is the power of Site Build It.
Many people have emailed me about this program so I'm going to continue by answering your most common questions. First up - the numbers.
How Much Do You Earn and How Long Did It Take?
I joined Site Build It in 2008. I watched the 10-day Action Guide in my spare time and within a few months I had a website with more than 30 pages of content. How long that part takes is up to you; I have since built another 30-page site in a month, writing one or sometimes two articles per day.
When I had 30 pages, I officially launched the site and began monetizing it. In my first month I made US $60, which proved to me that the concept worked. I kept going, slowly and surely adding content and new affiliate income streams, and within six months I had my first $1,000-profit month.
I don't claim to have discovered any magic money-making scheme that will have you living the life of luxury overnight. This is a realistic online business, remember. If you steadily follow your website goals, you can earn a living online too. And remember that's passive income - I don't have to clock in to earn it, it simply rolls in whether I work or not. But the more I work, the more I can earn overall.
| In the early days I probably spent 3-4 hours per week working on my website during my spare time. I soon quit my regular work and dedicated myself to it full time, testing new products and writing new content. |

Today I'm ranked at ~112,000 by Alexa of over 100,000,000 websites in the world. That puts me in the top 0.12% globally, which says a lot about the power of Site Build It. I have 1,500-3,000 visitors land on my site each day.
Yet I don't spend a dime on Pay Per Click advertising. Site Build It showed me how to generate free internet traffic for life! In fact, the only reason my site is such a success is because of SBI. (Actually, it's the only reason it exists!)
There is nothing special about me, or my subject matter. I simply followed the guide set out by SBI. Anyone can do this - even you!
Got a Moment?
I find that the best way to understand the big picture of Site Build It is with a visual tour. So take a moment to watch the 2-minute video guide below.
Or, if you have a little longer, watch the extended tour. If you're serious about SBI, this could be the most important 30 minutes you spend online.
How Did You Come Up With The Idea?
Early on, Site Build It gets you using a brainstorming tool. You start by writing down all your hobbies, passions, expertise and areas of interest. You will be surprised how long this list is once you get going.
For example, my list included all kinds of topics like short stories, science fiction, piano, drawing, photography, travel, New Zealand, cake recipes, writing, investing, stock markets, lucid dreaming, natural vision improvement, paranormal activity, conspiracy theories, metaphysics... phew! And so it went on.
In the end, Site Build It calculated that lucid dreaming had the least amount of competition relative to the highest number of online searches. It also took into account how passionate I was about the subject, which is a key driver.
In this way, I committed to a topic that I knew would be profitable long term. Don't worry if you can't think of a topic right now - the Action Guide will help you decide which route to go down. It's better to start with a blank canvas!
How Do You Make Money with Your Website?
Later in the Action Guide, Site Build It showed me how to make money from my website. This included:
Google AdSense - many SBI users benefit from Google's text adverts. It's really easy to implement and generates income automatically thereafter.
Affiliate Programs - I spend a lot of time finding good lucid dreaming products (like books, CDs and MP3s, dream herbs, essential oils and others). Once I find something to benefit my readers, I sign up with an online merchant. When people click on my unique affiliate link, I gain a commission from the sale. Commission rates vary between 5% and 75% depending on the product. This is a totally legal and ethical way to earn a living online, and the market potential is absolutely huge.
E-books - I have published two e-books so far: Lucid Fiction and The Art of Lucid Dreaming. I use ClickBank to find new affiliates to sell my e-books, and PayPal to handle customer transactions. It's easy to offer your own digital products that earn passive income for life.
Donations - this gives my readers a way to say thank you for the free content. My average donation is US$10 and I'm very grateful for this kind of support.
There are many other ways to set up automated income streams, including Text Link Ads, Chikita eMiniMalls, Amazon and thousands of other online merchants.

Can Anyone Build a Profitable Website?
Anyone with Brains and Motivation (BAM!) can build a website with Site Build It.
You need brains because you will be learning new concepts. It's not technical - but if you don't apply your knowledge, you won't see the benefits.
You need motivation because your website isn't going to build itself. Fortunately, working for yourself is great fun and your ongoing success will help motivate you.
Ultimately, if you have a hobby or area of interest, and can spare 2 hours a week on your website - then you can succeed with Site Build It. And crucially, you don't need any technical know-how. It's designed for complete beginners of all ages.
There are plenty of successful SBI owners who started out with just a basic knowledge of Word and sending emails. By watching the step-by-step video Action Guide at your own pace, you can build your entire website with simple point-and-click tools. There is nothing scary about site building with SBI.
As you progress, you can take off the training wheels and create your pages in a HTML Editor, like I do. This gives you more design flexibility - but it's totally optional. You can stick with SBI's point-and-click system forever if you like.
(Would you prefer a dedicated tutor to guide you through the entire SBI process? Then SBI eLearning is a good option for you. It's a 12-week version of the SBI course led by a skilled instructor, to make 100% sure that you succeed.)
Final Thoughts
I hope that answers your big questions about SBI. Of course, you might still have some doubts, especially if you are like me and want to know all the ins-and-outs of something before you commit yourself. Because building an online business is a real commitment - and there are hundreds of web hosts vying for your money.
But Site Build It is much more than a web host or blogging platform - it's a unique step-by-step program for web success. There are no hidden costs or nasty surprises, unlike many so-called "free website" deals out there.
Site Build It offers two ways of paying, so that you can keep your costs down and quickly generate a profit from your efforts. You can either pay $299 up front (which I made back in my second month of monetizing) or just $29.99 per month. You have 30 days to try it out risk-free, plus a pro-rata refund guarantee.
Considering how many thousands of dollars I have made online with Site Build It, I think it is worth way more than that. But I certainly won't complain!

PS - Remember that SBI offers a 100% money-back guarantee. That is a real stamp of approval because they are willing to let you test drive their product, risk free. If you don't like it - don't pay for it.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbors. Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover."
Mark Twain

It's the SBI work-at-home dream!
