In a nutshell Site Build It (SBI) is a down-loadable program that guides you in very easy steps on how to build a website about a hobby, passion or interest that you have and then how to earn money with it.

#3. How do you actually make money?
There are 3 'main' ways:
=> Firstly you might sell a product (or service) that you own or make e.g. homemade jewellery, eBooks, graphic design, language translation. You will sell these services/products through your specially created website.
=> Secondly you might sell a product/service that you don't own - this is what I do.
In the last case, you join forces with a supplier (I joined forces with various party product suppliers) and then if you refer people to them who then go on to buy their products, you will get a percentage of the sale.
This is known as "Affiliate Marketing". This may sound a bit of a scary word but it's not really though and you don't need to be a marketing guru to understand it.
=> Thirdly you may join forces with Google and put Google ads (adsense) on your website for which Google pays you.
SBI will show you how to do all that.

#4. I have no idea what to build a website about. Can you suggest anything?
Site Build It has a very clever process which will walk you through how to choose a topic that is firstly right for you and secondly which will be profitable for you i.e. earn you an income
My sister in law loves caravanning so she has created a website on caravanning in the UK.
I like kids so have created a website on kids parties.
A work colleague of my husband is doing one on setting up a business in Africa and another on home schooling.

#5. How long did it take you to build your website?
I won't pretend that you can build it in a day or even a month. It takes time. People who wish to build a website within a month and expect it to generate thousands straight away, will be disappointed.
However many people eventually make their Site Build It website business their full time job or they use it to build their retirement income or as income when they're taking time out from their job or to fund their studies. It's up to you.
Site Build It has what they call a "10 day" course to enable you to get your website up and running.
Although they use the word 'day', a day sometimes took me several days or a week. It all depends how much time you can devote to it.
I started kids-partycabin in early 2003 and it took me about one month to put my up my first few pages but another 6 months before I felt I had a decent looking website.
I started my second website learn-french-today in 2007 and it was so much quicker to get going as I already had the experience behind me.

#6. How much money do you earn a month?
The big question that everyone wants to know!
The first year you need to build the foundations of your business and this is hugely important. You need to understand the nuts and bolts and get them all in place. That is where a lot of people fail.
My first year on both my websites I earned pocket money amounts.
The second year though I earned more than double my Site Build It fee and my income was going up each month.
Each year after that my income has at least doubled and is still on the increase.
I now earn enough per month to allow me to work from home full time.
Some people earn much more than me but they probably put in more time and effort. You put in what suits you.

#7. Can you do it in your spare time?
Yes, absolutely. In fact most SBI'ers run their web business part time.
As I don't go out to work and my kids are no longer babies, I have more time than other work at home mums.
I probably spend about 4 hours a day at the computer but that does include time spent gleaning information and tips off the Site Build It forum.
Some days I don't work at all and other days I just answer emails. I think 2-3 hours a day is a good time allocation for me.

#8. How much does it cost?
It costs $299 USD per year.....for everything.
That works out at just under $1 USD per day. This covers everything and there is no more to pay.
