]]> Comment on A Negative Review of Site Build It (SBI) by Reesie http://higher-thought.net/2009/02/a-negative-review-of-site-build-it-sbi/comment-page-3/#comment-2549 Reesie Fri, 13 Apr 2012 17:17:33 +0000 http://higher-thought.net/?p=30#comment-2549 Well, I'm trying to use a Joomla & Hostgator combo for my music portal site because SBI doesn't offer enough media storage -- but, I'm pulling my hair out! I retired from 30 great years as a business consultant to focus on my writing and music. I created an SBI travel advice site "by the book" (I'm not an SBI affiliate -- just not my thing.) as a test run, before doing my music site. I chose SBI because it appeared to let me focus on writing with a content focus, and aside from what I call "hokey" graphics, the strategy made better business sense than any of the "magic trick" garbage I could see right through elsewhere on the web. I don't know a lick of html, and don't want to, so I used the building block tool to create my pages, and yes, one of SBI's kind of boring templates. To my amazement, my site was profitable the first month I went live (with only 60 pages), By the second month, I had 10 #1-Google pages, and 20 in the top 10! I now have 30 in the top 10. The income (I only threw on Adsense) has then paid all of my overhead to start-up my music -- and still is. And I haven't touched the site since I first went live! I just collect the money. That's the good story -- back to the bad story. I so want to call up SBI and see if there isn't a way to move my entire music portal site to SBI -- or find a Joomla SBI! I spend most of my time doing tech crap instead of writing and uploading music! ARGHH@#$%^!!!!! Bottomline, while SBI isn't near as pretty as Apple, they are Apple to me and everything else is Microsoft! I know it's not right, but I curse the Bill Gates of the world on a daily basis! More Steve Jobs and Ken Evoy please (maybe Steve can channel some style finesse to Ken, but you can't have everything)!!!

While full-time standing clearly offering the most benefits, it is a big leap. A combo desk would be best for most people. I use a Standing Fit unit. Works great. Either way the word needs to be spread. Thanks for the post. I agree with Phillip. While full-time standing clearly offering the most benefits, it is a big leap.

]]> Comment on Good Calories, Bad Calories summarized in point form! by Dr. Stan De Loach http://higher-thought.net/2010/01/good-calories-bad-calories-summarized-in-point-form/comment-page-2/#comment-2499 Dr. Stan De Loach Fri, 03 Feb 2012 01:40:19 +0000 http://higher-thought.net/?p=120#comment-2499 Thank you for this summary; I did buy the book as a result. I know it is brash, but I would like to request that you do the same type of summary for WHY WE GET FAT.... IF you ever have time. The points are often similar but the presentation is briefer and more easily absorbed. I am a Certified Diabetes Educator (in Mexico) and along with Dr. Richard K. Bernstein's take on the low-carb lifestyle for persons with diabetes, Taubes' book and your notes have really eased my explanations and questions to patients. I tell them to use their own experience (with measures of blood sugar levels) to decide for themselves if it works or not to produce more "normal" metabolism. Those who try, are rewarded in 99% of the cases with blood sugar levels and lack of food cravings like they have not seen before. Best wishes to you!

It gets a lot of traffic and makes money but the whole sitesell thing is just too much of a cult. I reviewed <a href="http://www.howcultswork.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.howcultswork.com/</a> and about everything you read applies to SBI. Man, I'm actually afraid to post this under my real name. I guess that says it all. I've been SBIer since 2007 but I've had enough and will move my site.

Starting a website(not just a blog) is something I plan on doing and for awhile, I thought that SBI! was the only way for me because I don't know any HTML. There is a lot of options out there for new people like me if you are willing to take the time to look for it. Well after reading reviews from previous SBIers as well as others who did it on their own, I am pleased to say that getting SBI! is something I will not be doing! There are many who like SBI and that's great but I much prefer going at this on my own. By taking a little extra time to do research, any newbie to websites can find all the information they need to start their own site without having to shell out $300 a year for just one site. Many web hosting sites offer site builders that contain templates that look far better then what you see on a SBI site and you can create your own using coding. Not to mention you pay less for more with a hosting site. One of the hosting sites I'm considering is Hostgator and if I get the Baby plan, I will get unlimited bandwidth, unlimited domains all for $230 for 3 YEARS! I can make, for example, five websites for $230 whereas five sites with SBI would cost me $1500. As for keywords, there are many great keyword tools out there that are free and at least with hosting sites, you can leave and get your site(s) transferred to another hosting site. I've read from previous SBIers that is pretty much impossible to do with an SBI site. Thank you for this review Toban.

I do have to say this, if you can NOT afford $0.83 a day ($300 a year). then you need to evaluate your life style then. if you can not afford to start a business then you don't qualify to start a business of any kind. it takes money to make money. I will be buying another site from SBI! and already saved the name for my site called <a href="http://multi-level-marketing-for-beginners.com" rel="nofollow">http://multi-level-marketing-for-beginners.com</a> I already have written a page called "Wealth from Flat Broke". $300 for SBI! and what it has to offer is CHEAP! I see more SBI! sites in the top search of google (only search engine I use) that most any other web host out there.
