Use Site-Build-It! to Build Your Travel Web Site .. and Get Results.

Discover the only tool you'll ever need to create your own online travel empire, plus .. the 6 reasons why I fell in love with it.

I once went to a conference in Toronto hosted by the Internet Marketing Centre in order to learn more about their products and buy their stuff.

Ironically, during a lunch break at that conference someone said to me:

"Listen to everything the Internet Marketing Centre folks have to say, but buy Site-Build-It instead".

The advice came a little late, because I had already spent (happily) a few hundred dollars buying stuff from the Internet Marketing Centre.

But - as you can imagine - I was VERY intrigued, and as soon as I was able to get online, I searched for "Site Build It!"

..... I just needed to find out what the heck it was!

So .. I got on line, and it was LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT!

When I finished watching the Site-Build-It Video Tour for the first time, I said to myself:

"This is it! - This is my ticket to internet profits".

You see, I've been building web sites since 1998, and - prior to finding SBI -I had been doing it "the hard way" ..learning HTML, how to use FrontPage, Dreamweaver, etc., etc.

Unfortunately, even though I learned a lot about web sites, my online success had been very limited, and I was still waiting to get my share of the internet profit pie.

But then, I met SBI ...

Why I Instantly Fell in Love with SBI

There are actually a few reasons why now I'm such a big SBI fan.

Reason # 1:  SBI Delivered to Me What it Promised: Results!

I use SBI to build and promote THIS web site you're looking at, and - a few months after I started to use SBI to create it - become-a-travel-agent.net reached TOP spots in Google, Yahoo! and MSN.

Here's a recent screen shot from Google where Become-a-Travel-Agent.net appears at numero 1 when people search for our main keywords:

So, after I started using SBI, our web site traffic exploded, people began finding us (hey.... YOU found us)..... and promoting our travel host agency became a LOT easier ... and a LOT cheaper... (see reason # 2 below)

Reason # 2:  SBI put about $2000.00 Back in My Pocket ... Every Month !!!

Before I found SBI, I used to spend between $1000 to $2000.00 in paid online advertising (such as Google Adwords) every month! (See screenshot below from my Google Adwords account).

 Needless to say, once the "SBI process" catapulted this web site to the top of the search engine results, I no longer needed to spend that money in Google Ads.


Not bad for something that cost me only $299 ... for the whole year! [ Considering what it includes, SBI should cost a LOT more ]

 

Reason # 3: SBI Puts Home-Based Travel Agents in Control of their "online presence"

Many host agencies give their affiliates a "travel website" (some people think that by getting a web site they're getting a "business" - and they are dead wrong!!! .... but that's another story)

.... Anyway, host agencies give their affiliates 'cookie-cutter sites' which are exactly the same for each affiliate (home-based travel agents) and over which affiliates have very little control.

However, when home-based travel agents like you begin using "SBI" they can build their own 'custom' web sites, even with little or zero experience building sites.


This means that you won't  have to depend on your host agency's "IT department" anymore in order to make simple changes and updates to your site:

For example, if you want to replace a picture, or add a "resort review page" after returning from a fam trip, you can just go ahead and do it.

It also means that you will be able to build your own brand(s), thus creating a true business asset for yourself [ Please, see the article called "Build Your Brand, Not Your Host Agency's" ]

 

Reason # 4: SBI Gives Travel Agents a Solid Business Education

And... why is a solid business education crucial for home-based travel agents?

You see, most "training programs" available to travel agents focus mostly on "travel industry knowledge".

In other words, the average travel agent training program teaches about destinations, resorts, cruises, airlines and reservation systems ........

... and that's important!

However, most travel agent training programs do NOT teach people how to RUN A BUSINESS ....

... and that's why most home-based travel agents fail or are struggling to make ends meet.

(The SBI Action Guide, the step-by-step guide you would use to build your own online business, is actually used at various colleges and universities in the US, Canada and around the world)

SBI! is really a self-taught e-building course"...

When you talk to SBIers (small business owners who own and use SBI), it quickly becomes crystal clear that Site Build It! is not just another sitebuilder with Web hosting.  And it's CERTAINLY not a GRQ (GetRichQuick) scheme:

SBI! is a powerful self-study COURSE in e-business success!  You can read more about the "educational" benefits of SBI at: http://www.become-a-travel-agent.net/sbicourse

 

Reason # 5: SBI Leads to More Sales $$$

SBI is NOT a 'magic bullet' .....it requires that you do work ...

..... But, assuming travel agents do their their part and follow the "CTPM" process - they're able to have high-ranking web sites .... which means more traffic, more pre-qualified buyers, more sales...more profits!

.... and that's very good news for YOU because the common "B2C" (business-to-consumer) or "retail websites" that most host agencies give their agents usually suck [ Please, see the article called "At last, the truth about consumer travel web sites" ]

 

Reason # 6:  SBI Is Good for Travel Businesses: 

Site-Build-It! is not meant to be just for 'travel agents'.

In fact, anyone with a small business, in any field, could benefit from owning SBI.

However, I got very excited when I found out that there were hundreds of people already using SBI for travel-related businesses.

Before I purchased my first SBI account, I had the opportunity to review various case studies about travel web sites built with SBI.

You too can see those travel cases studies at this link:

http://www.become-a-travel-agent.net/site_build_it_examples.html.

..and Now, I Just Couldn't Live Without It

Another great thing about SBI is that those who own it also LOVE IT

... as you can see on this web page where a whole bunch of people (who call themselves SBIers) talk about their love for SBI.

Today, SBI is the official "online-business-building tool" used by many home-based travel agents.

What's next?

How about watching the SBI Video Tour? - Sit back and see for yourself how SBI could help you build your own successful travel business ... regardless of what host agency you join or whether you work at home or at a traditional travel agency.

If after you watch the video, you have questions about SBI, you can ask them directly SBI at the link below:
