Lil Chris - The articles you mention are in the form of the 10-day Action Guide, the Tips n Techniques Section, and multiple PDF ebook guides such as MYCS (Make Your Content Sell) or MYLW (Make Your Links Work).

They cover every aspect of online business - researching a profitable niche, choosing a domain, researching keywords, building a site plan, checking legalities, building the site, template design, writing for the web, writing to pre-sell, finding monetization partners, getting user interactivity, keyword optimization, link building, free traffic building methods, etc etc etc! I just ran out of breath

The main Action Guide used to be freely accessible but I believe it no longer is. SBI has a constantly evolving knowledge base in the form of text and videos and there is nothing else like it on the web.

You could of course do your own research but where do you begin? Would you rather spend hours trawling through every free internet resource and put together your own plan, or have a ready-made plan that is tried and tested so you know it WORKS.

Also, as I mentioned earlier, the internet is full of different opinions and some of them will lead you down the wrong track. Black hat link building strategies spring to mind immediately. And there are plenty of legitimate methods that just plain don't work. So you will waste a lot of time that way as a beginner.

Considering you can join SBI for $30 and have access to all that knowledge it seems crazy to me to want to do it the hard way........

Kaie - SBI has some decent 3-column templates now. Or you can import your own design like I did (World of Lucid Dreaming was made with SBI). The range probably isnt as extensive as WordPress but that's ok, they do the job for most people. Try Googling "Powered by Site Build It!" to see some examples of SBI sites and their templates. Some of them are very outdated and the owners have stuck with the same design for years - dont let that put you off, it probably means they do a good job as they are. There are some very nice modern SBI designs out there. And if you want to spend more on a custom design check out this gallery of imported SBI templates.
