Hi All,

I see there is a special on SBI for a third of normal price.

Please look at this question as a newbie that has not picked her niche much less got her site up yet.

Ok, I do plan to have more than one site, soooooo would you suggest I take advantage of this special and buy another SBI right now? Or should I wait until I have one site up and running?

Thanks for your help,
LindaLS

The MayDay special is good, very good in fact, but not quite one third the normal price Smile

However to answer your question . . . personally I would wait. Get to know SBI a little and get to know the amount of time you will need to commit to building one SBI site.

Will an offer as good as the MayDay special ever be offered again? Well, of course I can?t see inside the mind of Dr. Ken Evoy, but I would not be too surprised if sometime in the future . . .

LindaLS, As you probably know, I'm an SBI user and a strong believer in it. My asisstants have used it for years. I publish SBI case studies on this site and have been recommending it for years.

However, I recommend you DON'T buy a second and third SBI subscription at this stage. What you need right now is FOCUS. Concentrate totally on choosing one good niche and concentrate on proving to yourself that you can make a success of Internet marketing. If you're working part-time at this, six months or 12 months from now - after you have full confidence in and experience with the SBI system, would be a more appropriate time to decide on a new project.

At that time, if you've made a success of your first site, you'll understand that the $25 a month SBI fee isn't the most important factor in your decision.

There is a counter argument, by the way. Because sites usually take a long time to mature in the search engines, it makes sense to start two or three sites, and have them all maturing. Also, some sites succeeed, some fail. If you have several, you increase the chance that at least one will be a success. Also, you can switch from one site to another if you get bored with one.

For the right person, with perfect niches and lots of skills, this argument has lots of merit.

However, it's YOUR situation which is important here, not someone else's. You're just starting. You're struggling to find a good niche. I think if you get more sites before you've even got started with your first one, you're likely to become distracted, lose focus and more likely to fail with all your sites. So I'd say concentrate on making ONE site a success. For now, ignore everything else.

Hi Allan and Larry,

Yes of course it is my final call but I do respect your experience and weigh it against my judgement.

Your answers are very complete and I was thinking along the same line but wanted to get some feedback before deciding.

I really do thank you all for your great advice and encouragement.

I do believe, now that my tizzy fit is over, I have settled on a niche. I am doing all the keywords and will just push on with it.

I believe my day 3 blockage is because I want it perfect so I don't fail. Oh well, I just need to get past that and move forward.

Now I will just concentrate on this one site. Thanks so much guys. You have no idea how much I appreciate you all.

LindaLS
