I’m glad this went away almost as ‘quickly’ as it was thought up. It’s a decent enough idea, just annoying as hell.

Yes Max, people expect to have revenue now and can’t wait. I can understand them since in a normal job, you work and get paid the same week. Here, you need patience.

I don’t know if you saw it on Lis blog post but I asked SBIer to make a poll to evaluate how much they make. That would be the best benchmark on their respective performance in earning. They must be SBIer for at least 1 year.

If no one “game” the poll, they would had a feeling if it’s worth or not the $300/year based on the time vs earning they gave in the last year.

That’s a really good point, Steve, about $300 worth of eggs in one basket. I never thought about it like that, but it’s true.

The idea of a flagship site is fine *****if***** it turns into a cruise liner, but if stays a dingy… sigh… no revenue.

I think you’ve identified one of the hidden myths of internet marketing– that I’ll put up a website (one website)…. the cash will come streaming in (yup,yup)… all in 3 months… and then I’ll be sitting on the beach with the laptop.

@Internet Marketing – I got a few of those type of comments.

I swim a lot in surf – I don’t need to be caught in a rip to know where it is – I can stand on the beach and see it and know, that if I get caught in it I will be swept out to sea. Now someone who never swam in surf may not be able to – but I can I know the beach.

SBI provides lots of detailed information of their system on the interent for free. I know how to build sites and make them rank in Google – I know the bits that are missing in that system.

I’ll tell you what I don’t like – when someone claims some system or another is no good, or a winner..but hasn’t actually tried it themselves, or gotten proper training on it!~

“offering an awesome $7 solution”

I like that part

Like someone mentioned here or on Lis blog, SBIer put all their $300 eggs in the same basket. Since MSB is lightweight on server ressource versus WP, you could have even more sites on a reseller account.

Someone else mentioned too that they could use this to rethink their model. Maybe SBIers will see that $300 for a second is not a great deal after all.

I agree with you Steve. I don’t think Site Build It is a scam but the price is outrageous. I mean here you are offering an awesome $7 solution, that with reseller hosting would roughly amount to the same amount of money per year. The only difference is that with SBI you’d only have one website on one domain vs 100s on a reseller plan, allowing someone to make passive income without paying out the nose in expenses.

Yes, it’s funny when people want proof.

When I saw your comment, I was expecting to be in the BANS post. That’s funnier to me to be here.

Seriously, my result are far from that but they did increase since December. That’s passive income my friend.

That’s the reason I intend to make more auction sites. I create them in AuctionSiteWriter and generate the blog for MyStarterBlog. I add a little more content. The rest remain like any other sites and get links.
