Hello There.
I have been researching the site build it program and i am REALLY interested and want to try it out. I have also been reading the reviews.
My only problem is... I don't have a creidt card right now, and my cash is low.

Would there be a nice enough person, who knows that site build it will work, and would want to invest in it for me. I will pay you back when I start makeing profit or basically when I get the funds.

I know I am really trying my luck but, Nothing try, Nothing done right?

Thanks!

To be honest, yes you are trying your luck a bit too far Smile

Okay, we have all been skint and I?d bet that each and every one of us has an eye on something they cannot afford at present, I know that I have.

Sit yourself somewhere quiet and brainstorm how you can accumulate the subscription for SBI, not by next week but by whenever. You?ll be amazed at what you come up with.

In the meantime there are many ways that you can practice marketing for nowt, Squidoo comes to mind but there are many others.

Before you know it you will be building your SBI business.

dadvdshop, Let's examine what you're doing here. You're asking someone to invest in you. You're trying to sell yourself.

Sorry if this sounds brutal, but I think you're going about it all wrong.

So far, you've concentrated on what YOU want. That's the wrong focus. In marketing, one of the most important things you need to do is try to see things from your customer's point of view. Find out what THEY want and provide it.

People like buying from people they know and trust. At this stage, we don't know you and you haven't made any attempt to help us get to know you.

If you're really serious about this, convince us you're worth investing in.

So, at the very least, it would make sense for you to tell us your name, your age, where you live, what you do, what your experience is, etc.

Good luck! I think you'll need it.

In the meantime, here are two discussions which may help:

Getting started with no money

How to make money on the Internet when you're flat broke

I was broke when I started online. It's tough, but you CAN clear that hurdle.

Right, it doesn't hurt to try, agreed.

And what you're trying CAN work. Don't give up. Sometimes I cruise the forums looking for people just like you I can help, and I bet others do too.

But like Allan says, to make it work, you just have to try a bit harder.

Well, more than a bit actually.

Your personal details are a start. Spelling and grammar are another base to hit.

Here's another idea that could close some "help me please" partnerships.

In the offline world authors write the book first, and then send it to the printers.

You could improve your chances here greatly by saying something like...

"I've spent the last couple of months writing 50 really useful articles, but I'm short on funds or expertise to publish them. Can anybody help?"

In other words, you're ready to go, except for the funds or technical skills.

Convince your audience you're going to publish a good site one way or another, and you might be surprised what kind of assistance will appear.

Best of luck!

join the 5 Pillar program as an affiliate, sell 4 SBI's & there you have the money to buy one. all you really have to do is introduce those who have an interest in owning a website to the product & then it basically sells itself....

When I see SBI it resurrects ill feelings of frustration with my efforts in building my website. I've had the Tripod website and found its tools to be less that easy to use to say the least. I've had to switch to another host in order to find a place where I can click and drag widgets. I no longer have front page to freely use.

Hi Annasecond,

I'm a bit confused as to which you had the difficulty with, SBI or Tripod?

SBI, with it's block by block building method, is very simple to use, at least that is my experience. And if help is ever need there is the SBI forums where you find no end of help.

Yes, you're not even good in selling yourself. What's your skill. What makes we think that you'll be able to do what it takes to make it instead of just testing to see what's in it.

Even if people trust you, you should always give certain kind of incentive like 20% of the gross revenue of the site once it is established, etc.

You get the idea. Smile

Btw, today is the last day for valentine offer, so you still have some time to get in very inexpensively.

I am personally wondering if I invest in Site Build it will it help me with content management. I have a website that I will have a ton of links on and they will need to be searchable, which would require a fairly large database administration. I could do this myself, but I think that this program could help things go smoothly and save me with months worth of work.

Where could I acquire information on the actual things that site build it does for you physically?

dadvdshop

I'm curious as to why you think you would like to give it a try.

You might have done better by saying something like this:

"hey I want to build my own web business but I just don't have enough money right now. I'll make you a deal. I'll build 25-30 pages for you with valuable content and you don't have to pay me unless you're satisfied with my work. If you are, you pay me by buying me my own SBI site. Fair enough?"

By grandpa used to tell me that you can't get fire out of a stove unless you put some wood in and light a match.

Good luck.

Paul
