I want to buy SBI site for a math related servive(math help). But I couldn't find any case studies relating service sites. Is SBI suits more for E-commerse sites. When will be the next promotion?

Before you buy into the SBI concept you better know exactly what you age going to want in a website. I found that it is mainly self help with little support. But most dangerous and disgusting of all is that they start your annual subscription from the date that you pay them, NOT from the date that they start providing any service such as designing or hosting. So if you take too long with the research and design etc you will use up your 12 months very very quickly. Even if they provide nothing they still count that time.
READ their refund policy very carefully and make sure that you understand it. They have more than 1 version of their 100%Guarantee and Refund Policy so make sure you find and read all the versions and understand that most things will be up to you to get going.

Knowing what you want is useful, to say the least, before you buy anything not only SBI.
As regards there being little support, I?m sorry but I can?t say that has been my experience. In fact I would go as far as saying SBI support is superb.

Your subscription starts from the date that you join yes, just the same as if you join a health club for example, it is hard to see anything either dangerous or disgusting in this.
And taking your time with research, to ensure that you pick the niche that suits you, will not be a waste at all - it will pay you handsome dividends. And in that research you will be using SBI?s tools.

It?s always prudent to read and understand refund policies. I?m stumped by the alleged ?more than 1 version? remark!
One of the issues is exactly that, When does subscription start?
An SBI subscription is not similar to the subscription to that of a health club or membership site. The health club makes their premises facilities available for use. SBI includes domain registration, hosting and other services that THEY provide NOT the subscriber.
The health club activates your membership and gives you a pass or ID. SBI also seems to give a Password etc which serves the same purpose as an ID card or entry pass. However, if SBI does not give such a Password and access to the premises and facilities, How can you say that memebership or subscription has started?
In my case I got no access to the premise or facilities. I got no membership card (Password etc).
SBI also includes services that they are supposed to provide. SBI never delivered hosting or anything that THEY and only they could deliver.

Hi George,
Your SBI subscription starts when you purchase SBI
A health or other membership club may not be exactly similar but close enough surely to make an analogy (if that?s the right word.)
Whilst it is true that SBI will not be providing hosting until you have at least one page built, hosting is but one small part of SBI.
There are other great things in SBI that are not available to you until you have 30 pages up (for very good reasons.) But when you start a new subscription there are other parts of SBI that you will use very heavily, whether with your first SBI site or your tenth.
As discussed in other posts you did not appear to get your welcome email which would have contained your password. I, of course, do not know why you did not get that but from what you have said it seems like an email filtering problem.
It is amusing that I am getting more discussion on more points from Larry than I get from SBI.
Filters would not have stopped their emails. Plus if that was the case How come the expiry notices and responses get through now?
I heard that the welcoming email has to be responded to in order to get a Password.So I would think that SBi has some way of knowing whether or not a Password was issued.
Many opt in processes and membership sites require account activation. I cannot imagine that SBI has no activation process. I get many emails from many sites telling me that I have or have not activated my account. I get emails from other sites telling me that I did not complete registration etc. I cannot imagine that SBI has no such technology.
In other words SBI must have known that no Password was issued and the account not activated.
Then there is the matter of BookKeeping. SBI is not a simple home business or little Mom & Pop store. It is a decent size formal bricks and mortar business. It therefore has a BookKeeping/Accounting system which is probably computerized. Because they have a Refund time frame they would keep track of that and also keep a reserve. Even if their track record is that they never have a refund request, such a procedure would/should be in place, even if only to serve as an income deferral device to reduce or defer their tax liabilities. Such an account is almost a given. If there are any Accountants or Bookkeepers reading this, your comment would be appreciated.
As you point out certain things are made available as you progress which raises questions. How would they know when you reach 30 pages if they are not keeping track of your progress? SBI must have known then that there was no progress.
SBI makes a lot of claims including helping people to succeed. How can they help without keeping track? Again SBI must have known because they have a tracking/progress system.
The point is that there is much that SBI would have seen at their end, otherwise much of what they say they do (including the items based on progress that you pointed out) would be just hype.

Faster than speeding bullets, more powerful than locomotives, filters cannot stop them!
I?m sure that Site Sell or any of us would like email like that, but unfortunately (or fortunately) filters do stop emails, often the wanted emails along with the spam.
George, I believe that in another post you stated that you did not receive a newsletter until 11 months? That would have been SBIXpress which all SBI?ers receive. You can take my word that you would have received many more than one issue in 11 months ? most likely explanation, email filters.
Why should Site Sell mail start getting through after that time I don?t know. As far as I remember you don?t have to respond to anything your password is sent in the welcome email. (just dug out a copy, the password and username is there)

I posted my question for a clarification. Actually I want to start a Math help website for children.I have seen many such websites. Most of them are having 2 or 3 pages only .but they are within No.10 on google if we type 'math help' or 'math homework help'.
So my question is should I buy SBI or not? I want to get more traffic.
In a math help website , is it necessary to add a lot of contents?
I'm a newbie in this field.I 'm a post graduate in Maths and have subtantial academic records.I like my subject so much.I spend almost 19 years for my studies and now I'm simply sitting in my home without any job.
So I started thinking about this. You know I,m not a rich person. Also I don't have the time for trial and error.
So please tell me SBI is for me? If so when should I buy it? _________________ Regards

I would say that a lot of good content is useful to gain traffic for a website on any subject.
Let me be brutally honest though SBI, as wonderful as it is, will not replace your income quickly. It is not get rich quick, many things are promoted as such - very few are.
If you love math that could be a big advantage for you there are many reasons to make a ?passion? the subject of your site.
Nobody can tell you when you should by SBI, that can only be your decision. I can advise you to think again if you think that it will make you lots of money quickly. I can also tell you that SBI gives you all the tools to build far more than a website, if you are interested in creating a real business, with all the work needed to do it, I can absolutely recommend SBI. _________________ Why Do Most Affiliates Make Less Than $500 Per Month?

That's fantastic news. If your potential competitors have only very small websites, that's wonderful. It increases the chance that you can beat them in the search engines.

This may not be what you want to hear, but yes, it definitely IS a very good idea to have a lot of pages. Something like 200 or even more is a good idea. Start thinking big.
The reason is that your aim should be have visitors find your site using thousands of different phrases, not just one or two obvious ones. The more pages you build, the more phrases you have working for you in the search engines. It's possible for a very large website to be found via 10,000 or more different phrases every month.
Once you get involved in this, you'll be amazed at the phrases some people use to find your website. Where it live, we call it "maths".
Here are just SOME of the phrases you could consider targeting...
math homework help

homework helper math
math answer homework

middle school math homework help

...I could have shown you a lot more, and I haven't even started on phrases containing "mathematics".
These are phrases which people are typing into search engines to try to find sites like the one you're planning.

Then you're wonderfully well placed compared with the vast majority of affiliates. You have intelligence plus a passionate interest in your topic. That's a supberb combination. The main other ingredient you need is determination.

Yes. SBI sounds spot on for someone in your situation. Buy it today and get started.
You're probably worried about the comments made by seeking2learn. I suggest you click on the Profile link under one of his posts and read everything he has written on the subject to get the full story. His case is a very unusual one, not at all typical.
SiteSell is a very good, reliable company, one of the best on the Internet. It also has a fantastic private forum where SBI users share tips and help each other. _________________ Allan Gardyne

Thank you very much ALLAN for your reply. You removed all my doubts and I am ready to buy SBI. What I LEARNT from your reply is that we should think for the biggest.Then only we can attain the bigger or even the big.Also I was lacking determination. But NOW I'm not.
You took your valuable time and gave me the advice, that was what I REALLY NEEDED.
Once again thanks. _________________ Regards

Great! Go for it! You have lots of talent. I'm sure you'll do well.
I had a look at your blog. I think you'd find it helpful if you researched and used social networking and bookmarking sites. For example, you could make it easy for people to "Digg" your articles.
I think there's lots of scope for you to create zany puzzles and conundrums which people would talk about and send to their friends. You could also invite your readers to supply them and award prizes for the best ones.
I know this is getting off the topic of maths help, but it would be a wonderful way of getting good links to your site.
You could eventually get a lot of free traffic from viral marketing. It could end up being your major source of traffic, if you make it easy for people to tell other people about your site.
You can do this with a SBI site or with a non-SBI site, and with your blog. _________________ Allan Gardyne
