#1 Affiliate Program: Site Build It

Ken Evoy's Site Build It! is right up at Number 1, where it belongs.

I earn four-figure commissions (and sometimes five-figure commissions) from Ken's affiliate program now, with only minimal maintenance.

Ken is a truly amazing, multi-talented individual. Among his achievements, he has taught medicine, designed toys and games which earn millions of dollars in royalties, and invented a "virtually impossible to sell" niche software product - which he sold on the Net, earning $1,000 to $5,000 a day.

SiteSell's fast-selling Site Build It! (SBI) has been my top money-earner for years.

It makes it easy for you to create your own website simply and easily, even if you have no technical knowledge at all. It analyzes which themes will be profitable.

Even better, it helps you optimize the pages for the main search engines and teaches you how to promote your site effectively. This remarkable tool also generates your Google and Yahoo! Sitemaps and automatically submits them when necessary so you don't have to!

Site Build It! doesn't just teach you search engine optimization. It teaches you Internet marketing.

Most important of all, it teaches you how to be successful. No wonder SBI! has thousands of happy users.

Ken was the first to introduce the concept of PREselling to affiliates. This is the process of building relationships with your visitors and putting them into a warm, willing-to-buy mood so they are much more likely to make purchases based on your recommendations.


Ken Evoy explains how SBI changes lives


The Site Build It! Action Guide and videos show you how to master this technique to drive your affiliate conversions through the roof. You won't just be building a website, you'll be building a long-term web business.

There's an incredible private SBI forum where SBI owners and users share tips and help each other. There's nothing else like it on the Internet.

I use Site Build It! for several websites and highly recommend it.

SBI! sites succeed. 61% of SBIers end up in the Top 3%. And only SBI! sites prove success. You'd think that others would if they could, wouldn't you?

See the proof.

As well as offering fantastic value for money, SiteSell President Ken Evoy works extremely hard to help his affiliates earn money. I've spent many hours chatting with him and learning about his products and plans. You can trust him to OVER-deliver on his promises.

The SiteSell program offers:

  • Outstanding value for money. You can feel comfortable promoting excellent products.
  • Lifetime commissions. You don't just earn a commission on the first sale. You earn a commission on every purchase by that customer - for life. Think about that. You sell once, earn indefinitely!
  • Two-tier commission structure. You earn revenue on the sales made by the people you refer to Ken.
  • Limited number of affiliates. Your efforts are protected.
  • A fair contract, which has non-terminatable/non-modifiable features. Ken looks after YOUR interests.
  • The BEST manual for affiliates - 224 pages packed with useful ideas - totally FREE. You receive excellent advice to get you started earning money.
  • A site that SELLS!
    Ken's site makes the sale for you.

All these features ensure this program is a long-term winner.

SiteSell's lifetime commissions are for active salespeople only. You stop receiving lifetime commissions if you stop generating new sales. This program may not suit you, but it has worked remarkably well for me for years.

Ken writes THREE newsletters which consistently offer the most detailed, helpful, step-by-step advice for affiliates I've seen.

I've kept a regular eye on this page for years... One of the things that strikes me is how certain programs have stood the test of time. I know Allan says these are listed according to how much they earn, but I think it acts as a reminder of the importance of consistently promoting programs you believe in, as much as the worth of any particular program in particular.

Too many affiliates flit from one program to the next, for my liking. Yes, getting in fast can reap dividends, but long term I think it's at least as good to pick programs you are happy with, and stick with them.

Uhm, I'd have to disagree with this top billing. I had a SiteBuildIt site for a year, I followed a lot of the 5 Pillar steps, and I've yet made one penny from the program.
Make no mistake, Ken's material is TOP NOTCH and I highly recommend it for learning and using, but as an affiliate program, no thanks.

[Don, Perhaps if you'd followed ALL of the steps, you would have made a success of the site. Allan.]

I would agree with Don, good learning material but hard to promote.

[I've found that one of the most effective ways to promote SBI is to write case studies describing how an affiliate uses the suite of tools, with specific details. Readers can then picture themselves using SBI. We have a couple of SBI case studies on this site. Allan.]

Thanks for Sharing Such a Nice list . But i think there should lists of Pay Per Visit (PPV) Programs. PPV is becoming new leader in market.
From my side I am Sharing Websites Which are Best PPV Programs and I used :

1. Clicksor (www.clicksor.com) - Earning Per 1000 Visitors : $5.20

It is hard to promote SBI. I never earn commission from SBI and 5 pillar program. But earned over $500 from internet marketing course (i don't have website). That mean if i have a website i can earn more.

[I'm not surprised. It's hard for a newcomer to make good money with any affiliate program if you don't have your own website. Your own website helps give you credibility, repeat visitors and repeat customers. Getting your own website should be a high priority. Allan.]

I like the SBI program and have done well. I have been looking at video on the web delivery systems as the second wave of commission earners. One day I believe every website will be like a little tv channel. I signed up at FLV Hosting as they have some tools that earn some great cash up to $200 a sale. I have done as well with that as SBI in a few short months.

I haven't purchased SBI yet, but after originally looking at it for affiliate revenue, I could easily see how SBI far surpasses anything else out there, so long as SBI delivers. As I watched the video, I thought how I might market SBI using the video as the primary tool. We all know, videomarketing is the current trend and probably will be for quite some time. Actually, if SBI does deliver like they say, my mindset tells me to let the hits fall where they may as I intend on having several income streams flowing through one program.

[SBI certainly does deliver. Read the case studies on the site. One of our case studies is there. Yes, the SBI video is a powerful marketing tool. Allan.]

Hello Allan, I purchased an SBI! site back in '04 and I jumped right into it, not reading the highly suggested Action Guide first. It ended a year later with my site not earning me a penny and that tore me apart financially.
Over the following year, I scrimped & saved every available penny and I've been spending many hours of many days just reading the public version of the Action Guide and I'm almost ready to try it again. Although, with everything I've been reading & learning, I am very confident that my earnings will at least be a lot better than they were the first time. I just don't understand how or why everyone can't see that the amount of service & features you get for the low price of SBI! would be well worth it X100 fold.

[Oh dear. I've heard several similar stories of people who have rushed in and done things their way with SBI without reading the instructions. Yes, you do receive a LOT for your investment, but any tool is useful only if you find out how to use it. Allan.]

I promoted SBI heavily through PPC and I spent quite a bit of money on the promotion. I read and followed the Pillar program and everything that was available to read on SBI. Although it sounded like a good venture and my CTR promoting it was good, but hard to promote. I haven't made one penny from it. And as Ken suggested I put so much money into it and then waited for a while if it did not convert, he suggested this may take time to convert but after $50.00 with no conversion he suggested giving it some time, so I did and it never converted. I then tried it for another $50.00 and it still never did convert. it's now 3 months since I started these campaigns and not one conversion. That's after following all the guides and Ken himself. So as far as I am concerned it's a DEAD promotion that cost me over $100.00 to trial. But I did send Ken a lot of traffic. Your Welcome :)

[The problem with ads is that the visitor arrives in a suspicious frame of mind. With a high-priced product, it's not easy to overcome that suspicion. One way would be to offer the buyer a special bonus - your special report on SBI tips, or extra tutorials or something. I've found that the most effective way to promote SBI is to write a case study describing in specific detail how we have used SBI to build successful, revenue-generating websites. You can find two of those case studies on AssociatePrograms.com. Although they were written by a trainee affiliate, they are very effective because they're obviously genuine and the reader can tell that the author is describing first-hand experience. Allan.]

I bought SBI, but renewing it wont be my choice.
A few reasons..

1) I spent 2-3 months just reading the SBI forum every day, did my reasearch and then found what I thought was a profitable niche. It wasnt, although competition was so small.

2) I wanted to change domains and concept, but I would then be charged a further $50. I had already registered my domain..

3) So, I looked elsewhere and consider the money burnt. Its really ALOT for me...:( I have since had my "education outside". It opened my eyes to alot of things.

However, I know and believe the Affiliate Program to be good, as Ken really seems eager to help his affiliates. But, in my two cents, Site Build It needs to evolve ALOT more to keep up with all the other very low cost/SE friendly money making ways/systems out there. Else, its really not easy to promote for $300.

[Gareth, If you failed to make it work, you'll probably fail in promoting it. It would make more sense for you to promote something you're enthusiastic about. Those who use it successfully see the value in a suite of tools which costs less than $1 a day - and they can write first-hand success stories. Allan.]

I just had to put my two cents in here! I've had my SBI since April 2006! I'm very satisfied with the package, price (enough to subscribe again!), and the ease with which one can build the website. I've got somewhere around 300 pages and I'm looking to post at least another 700-800 pages. I just keep on trucking along. I haven't made one penny yet, that's right, not one! At this point, I don't care! I'm having a blast! I'm getting an average of 40 visitors a day right now (and that's a rush), but I want more. How? Build a site big enough and you'll catch more flies. I still have my part time job right now, but my site is improving and growing every day while I've been challenged to step up to the plate and create something. Everything that Ken E. has written about has absolutely come true so far for me. I'm not there yet as far as making some coin, but I smell it... it's on it's way! I'm not giving up; I'll win come hell or high water.

[Rex, If you've created 300 pages, are getting visitors but haven't made any money yet, I think it's well past time to carefully re-read the SBI instructions. Something's dreadfully wrong if you're getting 1200 visitors a month but aren't generating revenue from them. You should be looking at ways to achieve sales and also attract more visitors by getting good links to your site. At the very least, perhaps you need to add AdSense to your site. Allan.]

I have had SBI for 9 months and found their 5 Pillar affiliate program fantastic. It works best if you own SBI and follow the process - I've built one site to promote my husband's books and lecturing career (it's a very tight niche - Yiddish - so the money has been coming in but not in a tidal wave - but it's still growing!), helped one friend build another about filmmaking and screenwriting (he gets over 300 hits a day after just three months) and am helping another friend with her site about a social justice issue. I've made two sales (to my friends) which came simply from my enthusiasm about the amazing hosting and customer service at Site Sell. I'm planning my own second site which will make a point of showcasing Site Sell directly. I can't say enough about both the webhosting and the affiliate program. Ken rules.

[Sounds as though you've chosen your niches well - ones that aren't too competitive. That's always a good start. Allan.]

Ken Evoy's Program is without a doubt one of the best you can find on the web as both an affiliate program for the level of support and as a DIY program as well. The reality is that most people work way too hard at it. Marketing (whether online or offline) is based on a 'formula' more or less. And the starting point of that formula is clearly defining your niche and niche market, which most people fail to do. Finding your niche is easier if you do 2 things: One -- think of a great idea that SOLVES A SPECIFIC PROBLEM and Two -- identify and market ONLY to the specific customer for whom that solution was created. Profile that customer down to age, race, gender, salary, interests, color of shoes etc. Once you are able to market that specific solution to that specific customer over and over again, you CANNOT and WILL NOT fail at marketing. The other problem is that people try to do everything themselves. Everybody is not good at writing sales copy and content and need to come to terms with that. For the hundreds of dollars that people waste trying to figure it out, they could have probably outsourced the work to a freelance professional for a fraction of the cost and made their money back very quickly. For anyone considering buying the program, IT WORKS! Realize that like most things in life, sometimes it's so simple that it seems complex. Don't think too hard about it. Everything you need to know to be successful with the program is there and clearly spelled out.
To Your Success,
Shonika

[I'm not sure about "race" and "color of shoes", but apart from that I reckon your advice on marketing to a specific customer is spot on. Allan.]

I am confused about the comments and trying to sort out what's being discussed or talked about. It seems like there at least 3 things going on.

1. The value, quality, benefit of an SBI web site itself apart from how it is used and how that compares or ranks with other commercial web site providers or hosts.

2. The use of the SBI web site or any commercial web site, and how effective or successful it is in terms of generating income or having a successful business. How well does SBI help with that and how does it compare and rank with others who do the same thing?

3. Then there is the selling, promoting of SBI as an affiliate program and having others use it.

So what's the verdict on 1 and 2 so far? Can SBI do 1, 2 or both better or just as good as anyone else?
Thanks, Randy

[The discussion is getting a bit messy, isn't it? I think these questions are far too complex to be discussed adequately in brief comments at the end of an article. A more appropriate place would be the Site Build It section on our affiliate forum. Allan.]

I had a site with SBI and truely believe they are sincere and are a fantastic company to build a website with. However my site was getting 108 visits a day and I made nothing out of it apart from an average of .50c per day on adsense. I offered some very good products, but not one sale in 3 years. Mmmm Maybe I was being ripped off by an unknown outside influence and perhaps 'cloaking' would have cured that. I've learnt about this too late as the site is about to lapse. I did manage to sell 2 affiliate programs of Ken's for which I was duly paid. I would recommend SBI to anyone, but what was I doing wrong? I believed I was pre selling well, but it all came to zilch.
Warren
ps I have another site with SBI but it was set up purely for a very local (work based) niche market for which it is producing some results.

[Warren, There could be all sorts of things you're doing wrong. From AdSense alone, I'd expect you to earn considerably more than $15 from more than 3,000 visitors - even from a mediocre niche. I suggest you ask for a site review on the Site Review section of our affiliate forum. There are lots of friendly, helpful forum members. Allan.]

Hi. I just found this site and the SBI site yesterday. I realize that I haven't done all of my homework, but was wondering if you can help me get past one mental block that I struggling with. Is SBI a solution that helps one create a web site that is on a topic you love and has affiliate advertiser on it or is it to build a web site to talk about SBI and to advertise that? I've read about 75% of the posts here and the start of the Master's Course free download and it sound like the latter. The case studies seem to refer to the former. The SBI site is huge -- information overload. Can some offer or point to a summary of what I'm considering purchasing?
Thanks,
Tom

[Hi Tom, Websites created using SBI cover a wide variety of niches, just about every topic you could think of. SBI is a web-based website building system which enables people with very little knowledge to learn how to build a high quality, successful website designed to attract visitors and make sales. It includes brainstorming tools and keyword research tools to help you choose a profitable niche, and includes web hosting. Most SBI users get their revenue by promoting affiliate products and from Google AdSense revenue. A small proportion create their own products such as ebooks and sell them on their SBI sites. Some SBI sites have their own newsletters, which can be published easily using the SBI system. SBI appeals mainly to newcomers, but some very experienced marketers use it too, because it gives them the freedom to concentrate on writing articles without having to worry about techie stuff. There's a incredibly useful private forum where SBI users share ideas and help each other. The whole idea is to provide you with one package so that you don't have to go scurrying all over the Internet looking for and paying for extra bits and pieces. As you can see, I strongly recommend it. Allan.]

Allan,
I am looking at SBI in a serious way and by reading all of the comments before mine, it appears obvious to me that you make a very good income on this affiliate alone, (Just because of your very strong and convincing belief in the product). You defend it religiously and convincingly. After I join SBI, Build my site and Succeed, I will return to this page and post an update.
Thanks for your honesty and for your site!
Rick

[That's what I love about affiliate marketing. There are thousands of affiliate programs and millions of products you can choose from. So it's not difficult to find a product to promote that you're comfortable with. The best affiliate programs are the ones you strongly believe in. Allan.]

Maybe i'm missing something here but why would people pay all that money for a site when you can get a free one off Google or a free blog off Blogger?

[If you're referring to the Site Build It way of doing things, you're not buying a website. You have to use your own brains and motivation to create the content, just as you have to if you use a free Blogger blog. The huge difference is that you're buying a complete package. "All that money" works out at under $25 a month for a complete package which includes top-class web hosting, domain name, etc., etc., and education on how to build a successful business. Alnost anyone can build a blog, but millions of blogs and websites die because of lack of traffic. SBI sites are designed to get traffic. Allan.]

Sorry but i'm not convinced. I'm sticking with Blogger and GooglePages. However I will say that your downloadable

[That's fine. There are many different ways of doing affiliate marketing. When I started, I used free hosting provided my ISP and created my first site in raw HTML. It took me two years of experimenting and learning before I could quit my job. Allan.]

I just had to post this in lieu of all the negative comments about SBI!. I bought it in 2005 and in less than two years my site was earning enough to pay my mortgage from mostly Google Ads alone, and I'm in a pretty competitive niche. SBI! works, but YOU have to work IT. I bought it for the first time in 2003 and failed because I didn't follow the guide. I think a lot of people believe it's some magic tool that will instantly get you rich. No, it's a system of tools, all in one place that helps you become successful if you are willing to work and learn. Some creativity is needed too. Sure, you could go to a cheap host but you don't get the automatic sitemap submissions (a true treasure!), blog, newsletter manager, and the list goes on. And as for the affiliate program, it works just as well and I am not surprised it has remained at the top of Allan's list. The key is to use your own SBI! site as a testimonial/case study and that will help you succeed with the affiliate program. You need credibility to sell SBI!. It certainly worked for me and I have the checks to prove it.

I'm just about to buy the program, but by reading the comments , there are some things that probably I'm missing. What is that to promote SBI to sell it and earn a commision of that?? Also, is there in SBI program package of affiliate program and products to advertice ??....and what would be the estimated time to start earning some "cents" with this program ? Thanks...

[I'm not sure I understand all your questions. It's not necessary to buy anything to be an affiliate. If you go to the company's website and click on "SiteMap" you'll be able to see a list of the company's products which affiliates can promote. Some products which used to be sold are now free. If you have difficulty writing a clear sentence in English, you may never earn a commission. Allan.]

Ahem.. Ok, let me put it this way. You are NOT going to find somebody involved in internet marketing who is more hard-working and delivers more than what he promises than Ken Evoy. The only thing I'm missing is his main product. Site build it! And I've tried almost all of his products. Ken is the man. He truly cares about your success, no matter how you define it. As soon as I have enough money, I'll get my hands on SBI. And I agree. It's really hard to promote SBI, but, and that's a big but, IF you don't own SBI. This way people don't have a big enough REASON to believe you. My passion is basketball and I already have a website (www.aware-jump.com) which I plan to transfer the content to this new SBI website I'm about to build. Thus, I think I can let my passion speak and convince people that they can try SBI, risk free (affiliate income) - that is something that Allan is very familiar with:) and...

Allan, what a great website you have. So professional and yet, it has a whoooole bunch of useful content. Not an easy thing to find these days.

Hello everyone. I am strongly considering buying Site Build It!. I believe that the first time I heard of it was here on Allan's site. Then Rosalind Gardner mentioned it in one of her newsletters. Then something happened that really got my interest. One of my personal friends mentioned that he had gotten involved in affiliate marketing and had a web site that he built that was bringing in about $800 a month and required very little attention for maintenance. I asked him for the URL and went to have a look. He had mentioned something about Dreamweaver in our conversation, so I was totally surprised when I got to the bottom of page 1 of his site and found "Built with Site Build It!". Come to find out, he was using Dreamweaver to enhance the HTML code of his site (something SBI allows that some other "providers" don't.) After that experience, when I see some blithering idiot saying something like "This is not real" or some other ridiculous comment, I just have to laugh and realize that not everyone can be a winner.

Hi,
It would be interesting to see the websites of those that made their testimonals, but sadly there are no link to take a look?
Thanks.

[Not telling you their sites was their choice, not mine. If you want to see sites made using SBI, you can find many good examples here:

Just a thought, but it seems most (yes, most, not all) of these programs are just selling information to tell people to make money by selling information. And having read a fair number of these programs, most, if not all of the information, is already available in the public domain.

[As I say, these products are suitable for my audience. They may not be sitable for yours. Internet marketing information products have a major advantage - they nearly always pay high commissions. They also have a major disadvantage - it's an intensely competitive field, not the best place for a newcomer to start. If you think you can find most of the information free, good luck to you. My experience has been that it's possible to waste an awful lot of time trying to find free information. When you do find it, it's usually very difficult to know how reliable that information is. Buying information from a solid, reliable source is an excellent investment. Investing in knowledge is one of the best investments you can make - as long as you then use the information. Allan.]

I have been researching SBI and affiliate marketing and I am a little confused. What is the difference between SBI and Clickbank? Meaning, what am I actually selling with SBI? (Something in my niche, I know, but where is this product? on SBI or Clickbank?) Also, where I am promoting this? So, once I have a website and a product, and sales copy and/or articles, where am I advertising? How are people finding me? It's all such information overload I can't seem to figure out how to begin. I did download the Masters Course but I am still not understanding how this all works.
Thanks

[I think you need to revisit each site and carefully re-read what is written there. ClickBank is an affiliate network. People who have products to sell list their products there. If you're selling a product, ClickBank can handle the tracking and pay your affiliates. SBI is a package of tools which includes web hosting, website building and marketing. Websites built using SBI are designed to be found by visitors who are using search engines. Our affiliate forum is a good place to ask questions. Allan.]

I wasn't able to take the time to read each & every comment but I want to address the few at the top. I think Mr. Gardyne very adequately replies to all or at least most of the comments listed here and I think he's done a great job. I'm going to look into the companies he represents further in the coming days, weeks or even months but I'm already a proud affiliate of Site Build It! As a matter of fact, I found SBI! back in January of '05 because I was looking for a way to work and earn money so I could get off of disability forever.
Please take some time to read more about it on my site at http://www.physically-disabled-man-earning-money-o...

I started out with an SBI site and now have two, with one more in progress. Each of them is earning money for me every month. I also have sites that have been built using other software now as well. The real interesting thing for me though is what my partner Lyn has done with her SBI site. A couple of years ago she literally hardly knew how to send an email, never mind build a website. She didn't even have a mobile phone and was a complete technophobe. I introduced her to SBI and this is the site that she has built herself, totally from scratch, by following the Action Guide to the letter.. www.Rent-A-Villa-In-Paphos.com The site now has around 5,000 visitors a month and she is making an excellent income from her new business, far outweighing what she earned previously from her 9-5 bank job. So anyone thinking of promoting SBI as an affiliate, at least you can be assured that you are promoting a product that really does work for people.

Where are the other 9 of the top 10?

[There's one page for each of the top 10 affiliate programs. Scroll to the end of the article (NOT the end of the comments) and you'll find the links to the other 9. Allan.]

A live dog costs more than a dead lion. Allan, sad to say it, but either the success or the failure belongs to the main responsible person. And you are pointing at IMC course 2007 as one of your bestselling products, but you are praising Corey who died 2005. If this is the bestseller you are talking about, you should mention Derek Gehl. The King is Dead, Long live the King. Now Derek is the Man at IMC and he deserves the whole respect and honor as CEO. You know why you wrote it this way, but

Thank you for the info. I found an affiliate website to start multiple streams of residual income. It's called Loads of Cash. All I did was sign up for "Ultimate Wealth Package" for $50 and I collect checks for people who sign up on my site. It's so easy!

It seems to me that we have a lot of people in here that keep blaming the "AFFILIATE" sytems offered these days. I've seen a lot of the affiliate sites from members that claim they never make any money. WELL, IT'S BECAUSE YOUR SITES SUCK!!! The sites look terible and have a "Mom and Pop" feel to them. IT'S ALL ABOUT CONTENT!!! If your site looks like a sales pitch no one person in the world is gonna buy. YOU NEED TO LOOK LIKE AN EXPERT AND OFFER FREE THINGS ON YOUR SITE!! Get people to trust you. STOP USING BANNER ADS AND LOADS OF TEXT LINKS IN YOUR BODY COPY. Too much of anything isn't good. My site is just about "Reviewing Diet Plans". I pretty much talk about the side effects of diet plans and I also compare diet plans for the average consumer. I only use text links !!! NO BANNER ADS. I also only recommend 2 diet plans that are safe to my readers. It makes me seem honest and trustworthy. I also love what I write about!!!! That's the #1 thing. Be in love with what you're promoting!! GREAT JOB ALLAN.

Hi Allan
Couple of comments on SBI. After reading for 4 hours on the SBI site about how it works I jumped in with both feet. The revelation that it was a great move came days later. The mantra was build content on a subject you love.

What was the revelation - it happened while reading a case study and visiting another SBI site. I spent over an hour at the site and it was on a subject that really didn't attract me. It was the content that moved me to click through the whole site and then I realized that Ken was on to something big.

For those who don't think it is a great program - consider this. Little effort will get you a little reward. At $25 per month I have gained back 100 times that in knowledge. Faith is believing what you can't see, and based on the facts presented by SBI, those that follow the program will end up with a site in the top percentile world wide.

Allan - love it that you post the good and the bad. Ken doesn't need defending though. His bank account keeps him well defended I am sure.
Best wishes
Mike
