Just watched the 30-something minute video. It looks to much for "I want to earn money without learning the technologies". Even just looking at the frontpage I thought jeez say hi to trowing away your money. If they earn so much couldn't they at-least hire a designer.

If you want to build an online business and don't know what double clicking is or are too dumb to get FTP working (It really isn't that hard, come on) you don't have a right to own a computer. People who type website url's in to Google or Yahoo thinking "Yahoo/Google is the internet" or "Internet? Thats clicking the blue 'e'?". No doubt you are right that some people do earn money with this. No problem there. But..

A blog isn't a business.

What would you call stevepavlina.com (without the forums) then? Sorry but if you can't figure out how to 1-click install a free blog and add google adds to it then you go back to the stuff you're good at. Not to demotivated people new to the subject of website but hell, even Apple's iWeb does a better job of creating a nice looking site.

Speaking of that; if I ever searched for juggling and came on the example page they showed in the video... I would leave before you can say "CTPM".

You plan a trip to a 'anguilla beach'. You land on the send you mentioned. How can anyone think "Oh yes lets browse here". It too ugly and chaotic to stay longer then 1 minute on.

...All the usual features of top-notch hosting...

Even free hosting accounts have at-least php support... top-notch serving only static?

...But seriously, hosting is hosting now-a-days. Any good company can do that well.

Riiight. Even major sites still get overloaded when they are './'-ed. Good hosting is an art.

Technophobe? Why on earth do you want an online business then. Stay away from the mouse. Less crappy pages. Less crap that turns up in Google.

No need to know what rss is or how it works.

Hai, I do not have anything of value but I want to earn money by talking about my train model collection but I'll never sell anything cause I'm to damn lazy to read all the SBI information anyway.

Another example; Coolest-kid-birthday-parties.com. Come on! This site looks like its build in 1995. And the domain name, jeez. Smart Travel Germany And Its Smart Travel Guide is one who, using SBI, at-least has some design capabilities. If you want to sell your juggling items then even Shopify.com is a better choice.

Thats one reason Microsoft doesn't built their website with frontpage...

Even if it does work, I'd feel unethical to recommend this 'product'. I hear at-least someone say 'but what if I can make $2k a month with a juggling site using SBI'. Great, go for it. Personally I'd be a shamed to have a site looking like that! And i'd feel even worse making money of it.

/Rant. Thank you .
