As a chartered accountant I felt prepared for life in the business world - first by university and then by work experience. I had the basis to survive in the business world as an employee and a passive participant in my own career.
What I learned from Ken Evoy and his innovative SiteBuildIt! tools was how to survive in the business world as an OWNER and how to take control of my own career.
This has been incredibly liberating and enlightening for me - but also kind of sad because I know that so many others will not take the steps to use their own knowledge, motivation and hard work to control their own life. They will continue to earn other people money by pursuing other people's goals and objectives and doing it the way other people dictate. So thank you Ken for helping me to lift up my head and making sure I was not one of those people plodding through life headed towards nothing.
What is the difference between this service and other web hosting/domain registering/site creation tools?
SBI!
provides tools not provided by any other services.
It allows you to fully research and target your website to people who are looking for the services/products that you offer.
SBI! is the only, all-in-one, site-brainstorming and building and hosting and marketing, step-by-step system of software tools that delivers thriving, profitable business.
With the right process, the right tools that remove all the barriers and mysteries, correctly applied at the right time you can grow long-term profits. And that is how SBI! works. Their simple
C-T-P-M process
teaches you how to create a win-win website full of great information that will attract and impress visitors.
SBI! owners do not just "put up Web sites." They build genuine, profitable, ever-growing businesses. And that, in turn, delivers life-changing freedom (the "It!" in Site Build It!).
Major schools like The Citadel Military College offer SBI!. Why?
Because SBI! offers a suite of incredible, versatile and simple to use
unique tools
. This is why so many sites made by SBI! are in the top 3% of websites when it comes to traffic tests done by Alexa.
SBI! also provides specialized information for work at home mothers or fathers

MY TAKE: My experience with Site Build It! has been very positive - this site, my second, had more traffic in the first month than my first site has had in over a year!!
The process involves more work then the traditional route - as you are researching things before you build - but the payoff is well worth the time invested.
The cost of SBI is slightly more than other web hosting packages ($25/month vs anywhere from $7-$30/month) however what you get for your money is so much more.
To be clear - if you are building a site to share your thoughts/pictures with friends and family - then this service is not for you - you would be paying extra for services you would never use. Further most web providers and services such as Facebook, MySpace, Flicker allow you to create your own page for free.
Also, if you are not interested in putting in the time required to research your website topic and keywords to maximize your traffic then you should not spend the extra money for SBI!.
On the other hand - if you are looking to build a high traffic business or information site for the general public - and you are willing to spend the time optimizing your topic and your keywords - then this service is invaluable.
