I was just curious if anyone had used the Site Build It(SBI) program offerred from the Clickbank Resources. It sounds like a great program that helps you with hosting, building your site, helping get traffic to your site, pre selling and then helping to sell your product or service. The only thing that got me was the cost of $299.
It does have a money back guarantee with it but i would just like some feedback from some people that have used this program before i make my decision.
Thanks Moyke

Hi Mike,
I use SBI and have done for a little over 2 years. I absolutely adore it, to put it mildly. 
I didn't purchase through Clickbank, but I do remember reading that they have it available there for affiliates to sign up and promote. I'm an affiliate myself, but not through Clickbank. They have an independent affiliate program outside of CB, too.
At the moment (and until Friday night, March 27) they are running their spring special that allows you to purchase 2 full site building packages for $399 instead of the usual $299 for one.
You can split with someone and both save or you could save the extra package and activate it within the next 9 months.
Personally, although some people think the price is too high, I think it's a real bargain. I knew nothing about building a business website before I purchased SBI and now I have 4 lovely sites bringing in a nice little income that increases continually.
I'm a dyed in the wool convert. 
Hope that helps you "make your decision." If I can be of further help, please don't hesitate to ask.
Blessings,
Angie

So is the $299 or $399 an annual charge for the program or is that the purchase price with a smaller amount as the membership fee?
Thanks Moyke

The $299 is the annual fee for the package. It includes your domain and hosting (of course) as well as all the tools and training that you use along the way. It is renewable each year.
If you get the special for $399 that means you get 2 packages. So you save $200 on the first year of the second package, but when the year is up and you renew it, you pay the full $299 for the second year, etc.
There is no additional fee for membership. The brainstorming tools, keyword research, etc., auto blogger, auto page submission to the search engines, autoresponder, private members forum, etc., is all included in the package.
The only additional fee to Sitesell that you may or may not choose to incorporate is a $99 per year fee for an additional service they've added about 16 months or so ago. It is called Content 2.0 which you can enable to allow visitors to add content to your site.
If you look at some of the pages of my chocolate-candy-mall.com site you'll see a form at the bottom where visitors can add their own recipes, photos, reviews, recommendations, etc. I approve the pages before they go live, but it's been a great asset to the site. I have over 300 pages that visitors have added - free unique content to continue to improve my search engine rankings (well, not free $99 per year ).
That isn't a requirement, but they offer the service if anyone wants it. They allow you to try it out and use up to 25 C2 pages for free before you decide if it will benefit your site and visitors or not. If it doesn't add value to your site, you don't have to continue with it.
For me, it was well worth it. The only reason I elaborate on that is because I don't like people to think they are getting SBI and then are going to be upsold on a bunch of other products needed to succeed.
You literally only NEED the basic sitebuildit package to succeed. I didn't add C2 to my first site until it was a year old.
All in all, even though I am paying $299 plus $99 for each of my sites, I make enough money in one month from them to pay for their "keep" for the year. All the rest is cream on top.
Does that explain it?
Blessings,
Angie
