"Has Chris lost his mind?", you ask.
Well, though that subject might be up for debate, there is something I am genuinely excited about.
For the first time ever SiteSell is offering SBI for a monthly subscription of $29.99 a month. This offer is for a limited time. To take advantage of this exciting offer click on "Order SBI". Under "Please Select Order Preference" please select "US $29.99/month".
SiteSell has never offered this before. Up to now, you had to pay for a full year for your first year subscription of Site Build It. This came to $299 US.
If you are like me, and going through tough financial times $299 is a lot of money. In fact, it very well might be more than you can afford.
That is why I'm so excited. This is going to open up SiteSell to so many more people, who can't afford the upfront charge of $299 right now due to tough economic times.
A month or two ago, I signed up for SBI. Unfortunately, I took advantage of SiteSell's 30 day money back guarantee, because I wanted to save myself the $299.
To make a long story short, it was the worst decision I made.
I really could have used the extensive Site Build It Action Guide, to guide me through SBI's C-T-P-M process. "What is C-T-P-M anyways?", you ask. This stands for Content-Traffic-Pre-Sell-Monetization, in that order to create a successful e-commerce business.
I "put the cart before the horse", like so many people do, so to speak. I created some unique content, but skipped the middle two steps, jumping straight to monetization.
I didn't do any keyword research - creating individual pages with profitable, targeted keywords.
By the way, SBI's keyword tool, which is a powered by WordTracker and SBI's own keyword tool, is worth the $299 a year alone.
Anyways, I ended up spending over $400 in Google Adwords to get traffic. Sadly, I only made two affiliate sales and just a few dollars in Google Adsense for a total of around $50. So, in Google Adwords I have lost $350. This alone is more than the annual cost of SBI.
Not to mention the cost of around $60 a year for a web host, plus another $10 to purchase a domain name. The later two are both included in SBI.
SBI also includes a "Block by block" website builder. You can also build your SBI website using your own website builder, such as Dreamweaver, if you like as well.
What really impressed me about SiteSell was SBI Forums. These are extremely active, friendly, and helpful forums. There is no such thing as a dumb question here. SBI Expert SBIers are more than happy to answer your question here. I read somewhere that SBI Forums are the "place to be helped and to help." SBI forums really live up to this.
I for one will be signing up for SBI tonight and taking advantage of the SiteSell time limited $29.99 monthly subscription. I am really excited to be able to take advantage of all that SBI has to offer and develop a successful e-commerce business.
