SiteSell’s SBI! is already 10 years’ old but still there are a lot of misconceptions of the
product by people based on what they thought about SBI!. They have little or no idea what SBI!
does and delivers.

Some typical myths are:

* SBI! is just for beginners

* All SBI! sites look the same

* SiteSell controls your domain

* It’s like MLM or GRQ

* It’s too expensive

SBI! Is Just For Beginners

It is not true …

Perhaps, the SBI! block-by-block SiteBuilder is for beginners. It literally does train a newbie,
block-by-block, to build an effective Web site.

Once a newbie is ready for more, SBI! lets them “take the training wheels off” and upload their
own HTML. They can use Dreamweaver, Frontpage or any HTML editor they choose.

When webmasters realize the advantages of the “all-tools-in-one-place” approach, they see how
SBI! can save them time and money. Tools like Brainstorm It!, Content 2.0, Worldsubmitter,

ValueExchange, SBI! Site Stats, etc., are equal or better than the outside available tools.
And buying all those outside tools would cost hundreds more per year than SBI! does.

All SBI! Sites Look The Same

Yes, The “basic” simple-to-use, templates provided by SBI! use styling recommended by site-design
experts (Dr. Jakob Neilsen of useit.com) who stress simplicity and a left-hand navbar.
However, these simple designs don’t keep someone from achieving top search engine and 1% Alexa
rankings and ultimately success.

Once the person is ready (or if they already have the skills) they are free to use Dreamweaver
and Photoshop, CSS or any other design method or tools they choose.

Whatever your Look and Feel, you CAN do it in SBI!. Just crank up Photoshop and your HTML editor
and do it.

SiteSell Controls Your Domain (and your site)

Domains are totally under the control of the site owner (you can check Whois to see). At the end
of the subscription they are free to transfer the domain they own to another host at no charge if

they choose.”

Site content is simple HTML that can easily be captured and moved to another host or brought into
an editor. There is no more disadvantage to SBI! hosting than anyone would have moving a site
from any other host.

It’s Like MLM or GRQ

SiteSell’s Affiliate Program is 2-tier and focuses only on selling the product. There is no
“downline” beyond immediate team members who may or may not ever contribute commissions. You
don’t need to depend on team members or a downline to succeed.

Site Build It! is definitely not Get Rich Quick (GRQ). Otherwise why would their mascot be a
tortoise. Owners are constantly reminded that success requires “Brains and Motivation” (BAM).
The focus is on building a “real business” and that requires time, determination and real work.

Action Guide

It’s Too Expensive

This is where owning your own SBI! site is a great advantage. Anyone who has owned a site would
never complain that it’s too expensive. Actually most would say they never were able to
“use it all” in one year.

Too expensive compared to what? If it was possible to really compare apples to apples instead

of apples to lemons, there would be no question about the value. Once you see what you get,
SBI! would be considered a deal at 10 times the price.

Brainstorm It! uses Wordtracker as its base and then adds even more functionality. Wordtracker
is $329 per year. Brainstorm It! is one of dozens of tools included in SBI!.
