About Site Build It! (SBI!) & The Pharmacist

I'm all about videos so before I launch into telling you all about Site Build It!, here's a quick word for those of you who'd rather watch a video than read... click on the image just below to watch the video. It describes everything I mention below... I hope you enjoy it! If you like to read, there's another link at the bottom of the page that will take you to the video once you're done reading about my journey with Site Build It!.

I know what you're thinking... "So how (and/or why) does a pharmacist go from lab coats and dispensing medications as well as medication advice to webmaster extraordinaire?" Why step outside the comfortable, predictable and secure cocoon of the pharmacy? More importantly, "how can you possibly build a viable website or better still, an online medical business with just a pharmacy degree and zero technical training? I agree, the whole idea blew my mind in the beginning and I thought it might not be possible... but thankfully, I was wrong. One can build a website and online business based on something you're passionate about, whether it be your career, a hobby, or what have you! Wanna know how? Read on.

I knew I wanted to break out of the box, but I truly enjoy my career. I needed a way to continue doing what I enjoyed but also have much more control over my schedule, how I wanted to practice and most importantly, my life! I searched high and low for online businesses and "business opportunities" and yes, I tried my hands at more than my fair share of them. I'll admit, with some I had minimal success and with others I had no success, but something kept me persistent... I knew there had to be not just a way, but even an even better way. Enter Site Build It! or SBI! as those of us who've found it and love it like to call it. Yes, there are easier ways to build a web site. However, online profits require more than just having a collection of web pages believe me, I've been there and done that so I should know. Site Build It! includes all the tools and a proven process required to build a long-term, profitable e-business.

One of the really nice things about Site Build It! is that you have lots of options about how you want to go on this journey. If you're the Do-It-Yourself kind then you can follow the step-by-step Action Guide. It's extremely detailed and leaves no room for any guess work. I used it and I can personally attest to how thorough it is. You can even use it for free to build your own website without subscribing to Site Build It! Now if you'd like a bit more hands-on help there are physical classes held at colleges and universities around the world and if there isn't one near you the next best thing is Site Build It's eLearning. I did this as well and I cannot say enough good things about how great and helpful it is to actually have a real life teacher you can talk to and bounce ideas off of in real time. Check out more info about the Site Build It! eLearning course here.

A lot companies tout their site builders but with Site Build It! you get more than just a "site builder." You don't need to worry about looking for separate hosting, paying for a separate keyword research tool and if you didn't know you'd actually need one of these, trust me, you do, and Site Build It! takes care of it for you, handling site submissions, integrating auto-responders, etc., etc. See the full list of features here.

Okay, so what about all the technicalities...? I'm no IT expert but Site Build It! removes the technical barriers allowing you to keep your attention on building your business. This is the best part, I can still focus on building my drugs and medications-related website while SBI! handles the "techie stuff." Many functions are completely automated. You don't need to know anything upfront about building a web site in order to succeed. The tedious, "under-the-hood" stuff is handled automatically so you can focus on other important business-building activities.

With some of the other businesses I embarked on, I realized only after the fact that I hadn't done my homework thoroughly and was rather ill-prepared... which inevitably led to less-than-successful results. Site Build It! is the only product that takes the time to prepare you to build a profitable business, before you jump into building your site. For the beginner, your learning curve will be shorter and you'll bypass any show-stopping errors... and believe me, you want to bypass all these. For those experienced in site-building, Site Build It! deepens your level of understanding... again, you really want to learn as much as you possibly can in order to ensure your success. No matter who you are, you are guided all the way until you succeed.

So once I decided I was ready to jump in and I knew what I wanted to focus my site on, enter "Brainstorm It! Brainstorm It! is SBI!'s powerful keyword brainstorming and research tool. It helps you verify that your site concept has acceptable profit potential naturally, this is essential if you actually do want to build a profitable business. SBIers are saved from making that common fatal error. With Brainstorm It!'s help, you know you are on track, right from the start. Brainstorm It! also helps you to find topics related to your niche that will pull in traffic and generate income... priceless...

Choosing your best site concept is not always as obvious as you might think. For me, I came in knowing I wanted to talk about medications... anything and everything to with medications was what interested me and I wanted to share that with whomever would listen. The truth is that the competition in the "medical information space" is very stiff... I mean, could I really compete with the WebMDs of the world... and be successful? Really? Brainstorm It! and Niche Choose It! show you the best path for your particular business, reveal some surprises, and help you make the right choice. These tools help you focus your business on a profitable, winnable niche. For someone like me, that is something that the big dogs aren't doing. They cover it all but I can take one little corner of the market, master it, and eventually (hopefully) dominate it, and this is what these tools helped me realize, focus on and build upon. If you don't yet know what you want to build your site on, these tools will even help you out with that too! There are tools to help you find and develop the best site concept for your business ideas.

Okay, the money question always comes up. You do want to be profitable and write your own paycheck right? Enter Monetize It! Monetize It! helps you choose the best monetization options for your site concept. Creating a diverse monetization mix will help you maximize your site's profitability and ensure long-term growth. It's just that simple. There are so many different ways one can monetize an online business no matter what your business or site concept is about, this tool unlocks the door of options and possibilities that are available to you. Again... priceless ...pun intended :)

When it comes to the knots and bolts of building the pages of the site, again there's a tool for that. Page creation is as simple as riding a bike with its training wheels still attached. No need to know HTML... I don't even know what HTML stands for to this day, and the great thing is that I don't need to! The block-by-block builder trains you how to write a page that is both "Search Engine and human effective." It's simple, do-able and most importantly, effective site-building. The block-by-block builder is perfect for beginners, but even many "advanced" users should start with this tool. It's an excellent way to break bad habits! I'll confess, I had picked up some along the way in my forays into other businesses... You learn to "get it right" quickly (or correct bad habits) so you can focus on other traffic-building strategies. (These are also easily mastered due to "automation-and-process.")

If you already are a pro that's okay too. Since SBI! is compatible with popular HTML editors (ex., Dreamweaver) and image tools (ex., Photoshop, Flash, etc.), you can easily use advanced page-building techniques, if you like. This allows for maximum creative flexibility for all skill levels.

Alright, so you've built the perfect site and you're ready for the world to flock to your feet... well, to your site's feet... now what? You need to be found by the search engines and to announce your site to search engines, you need to submit a specialized file called a "Sitemap XML" file. Site Build It! does it all automatically, a huge time saver, that enables you to quickly achieve wider distribution and attract more targeted free traffic. Yes, free traffic!

Beyond that though, you'll also need to keep track of how well your site and your business are doing and yes, Site Build It! has the solution for that too! Search Engine spider/listing/ranking reports let you see how your pages are being handled by the Search Engines. You can see what pages rank best and drive traffic. Each report's insights help you to determine how to increase traffic and monetization. Most pros don't have easy and reliable access to this type of information.

When you start to get all those wonderful visitors to your site (just like I have you here now ;)...) you'll want to build a relationship with them and keep it going strong. List-building and e-mail marketing are included (usually these expensive features are bought separately). Sign up visitors to your e-zine subscription list and then mail an issue to them. You can even make yours a video newsletter just like mine! Check it out here. This repeat exposure builds a stronger bond with your visitors and allows for direct promotions to them. Deeper PREselling = More Monetization.

What is PREselling you ask? PREselling is a concept "invented" by SiteSell, part of the C T P M process. The concept is simple. As small business people, you do not have a brand name that is known and trusted. I know it hurts to hear that but its the truth... So you have to build that before you can monetize. Seems obvious, right? So few people do it, or they don't do it right, online.

Best of all, Site Build It! has a no-risk, 30-day money back guarantee. It's a risk-free decision that you can make with confidence and peace of mind. I will even personally promise you that they will give you back your money if you are not satisfied with them for any reason whatsoever.

What about support? It's all there, from the Site Build It! Support Center to the Site Build It! user forums. The Site Build It! private forums provide friendly, helpful support from other Site Build It! users. Help is available from folks who are in the same place as you. This peer-to-peer support gets you over the humps along the way in a stress-free environment. Yes, there will be humps along the way but there will be more people to help you out than you can possibly imagine. Help is available even for advanced questions. The forums are a business-building support community ready to help you succeed. You can even start asking questions now... there's always someone willing and able to help.

So am I living a lifestyle of the rich and famous? Honestly... nope... not yet, emphasis on yet. You see, the Site Build It! mascot is a tortoise... the tortoise approach symbolizes Site Build It!'s steady-and-sure approach. It's definitely not GRQ (GetRichQuick) and keeps you from getting distracted by false promises or dead-end tools and strategies that end up costing more money. Experienced users will appreciate avoiding time-wasters that don't help you succeed. Think of it as a simple, direct, hype-free path that leads to success. Most legitimate businesses have a ramp-up time to success and I am on that ramp already. If you follow me on this journey, I will be reporting my success milestones as I reach them. Check out some others who have already achieved great success with Site Build It!

Want some history about Sitesell, the company behind Site Build It! (SBI!)? SiteSell.com was established by Dr. Ken Evoy in 1997. His series of books have helped hundreds of thousands of entrepreneurs and small businesses. Make Your Content PREsell! and Make Your Words Sell!, formerly books sold by SiteSell, are now free. They are literally the dynamic duo of "Web-writing." I'm not just saying that either, I have actually read them and highly recommend them for anyone interested not just in building an online business but really any business where you'll need to "use your words"... I guess that's all business people.
