Don’t buy SBI until you’ve read this unbiased, honest and frankly up front SBI Review.

Warning: SBI is not for everyone

You’re hard pushed to find an honest SBI review out there that isn’t an affiliate waxing lyrical over how great SBI is. Well I want to change this trend and make no qualms about who I am or what the actual effect of SBI has been on my business. Please watch my SBI Review Video below to get an honest picture of the SBI craze.

There are an absolute flood of Site Build It Testimonials online. This is hardly surprising when you consider the kind of results it is delivering for thousands of people.

A great way to watch in action the Site build it Testimonials is by the power of video. See why so many people Love SBI here.

SBI! owners do much more than “put up Web sites.” Anyone can put up a site or a blog nowadays. The result is a glut of over 100 million sites, most of them with almost no traffic.

SBI! owners build traffic, warm, willing-to-buy traffic that results in genuine, profitable, evergrowing businesses. That, in turn, delivers life-changing freedom (the “It!” in Site Build It!).

Profitable results come from sites that WORK. Profits are not generated by sites that merely exist (the vast majority). SBI! builds sites that WORK, each with hundreds or thousands of visitors every day.

In case you thought the Sample Sites and Case Studies were our “only examples,” here are a few hundred more. All kinds of sites and all in the Top 1% of all sites on the web today.

Is Site Build It a Scam? Click here to read SBI’s official stance.

As with so many products online there are those out there that are very quick to denounce any product as a scam without due attention. I’ve just found a really great example of this touting of Site Build It Scam; in this particular instance one Site Build It Review got Ken Evoy, founder of SBI, so incensed that he wrote an essay in response.

The claims of the reviewer are formatted in bold and the claims of Ken Evoy are just regular text.

1) “Site Build It has been around for a while and even has some good parts to it. But that doesn’t make it any less a scam.”

Actually, it does. Bad products don’t tend to last.

2) “Steve Pravlina (sic) is the reason I’m mad. I like Steve – his motivational writing is great – but now he has sold out to the other side and is pushing the old Site Build It scam!”

I’ve spent hours talking with Steve and he is one of the most honest, moral people I have ever met. He did an incredible amount of research and due diligence before recommending a thorough and accurate review of Site Build It!.

He even recently dropped Google Ads, which cost him over $100,000 per year, because he did not like some of the ads that were being delivered.

3) “What is Site Build It ?

Its a “one stop shop” for someone who wants a website but doesn’t know where to start.”

No, it’s the only product in the world that enables people to create profitable e-BUSINESSES. It’s NOT about building a Web site. There are thousands of easier ways to do that. The vast majority fail due to the lack of process and tools that SBI! provides. Like I said, there are easier ways to build a site, but no better way to build a BUSINESS.

4) “You pay them a heafty (sic) fee- PER SITE – around $300 ANNUALLY. And for this sum you get:

* “free” domain name
* “free” hosting
* drag and drop website builder
* newsletter manager
* autoresponder
* search engine ranking help
* traffic reports
* hand holding: forum, tutorial etc.”

No, you get much more. This is what you get…

http://tools.sitesell.com/

More importantly, you get results…

http://results.sitesell.com/

And the results speak for themselves. Like Apple or an early Google, a product does not develop a devoted following unless it OVERdelivers a great product.

5) “Now if you Google for “site builder scam” – you will find a lot of “reviews” which are just affiliate pitches? Why because Site Build It pays affiliates around $75 a sale, and that’s an annual fee to remember.”

I did that very Google Search and I find one article in the top 10 that discusses reviews such as this shoddy one that FALSELY call SBI! a scam…

http://blog.2createawebsite.com/2008/01/25/site-build-it-is-a-scam/

This post is by Lisa Irby, a former SiteSell Affiliate Manager who went on her own because she grew her own business as well until she was making too much money with her SBI! site and as a 5 Pillar Affiliate (and as an affiliate for other products, too). Lisa credits us for much of her success.

6) “You don’t even have to (sic) a user of SBI to be an affiliate – how can you sell something you don’t use yourself – that’s what I turned me off affiliate marketing initially.”

This is an absurd argument.

Site Build It! is the equivalent of a business degree in a box, with all the tools necessary to execute the “course.” You don’t have to take the Harvard MBA program to do thorough research and due diligence, and then write a reasoned review of the best MBA programs.

I have written about the dark side of affiliate marketing, where people are paid 50%-80% commission to sell Get Rich Quick programs that cost thousands of dollars. But any investigation of our program, how we have conducted business for 10 years, and how SBI! owners respond to our efforts for them would convince a serious researcher than this is not us.

7) “You will find no link here for SBI – if you want to join – type in their url direct and then sign up as an affiliate and pay yourself the commission as a discount!”

This is actually against the rules of our program. This dishonest suggestion to take advantage of what should be a partnership relationship is an unfortunate insight into the reviewer. If this advice resonates with you, please don’t join our program.

“So Why is Site Build It a Scam?

8. you don’t own your domain – the Anguilla-beaches .com site which features prominantly (sic) in the sales pitch is owned by Ken Evoy – who owns site build it – according to domain tools anyways;”

This is patently false. Of course you won your own domain.

Any research on any OTHER site EXCEPT anguilla-beaches.com would show that. And any research at all about anguilla-beaches.com would have revealed that this site was created by my daughter when she was 14 years old. She is now 20 and I have merely not got around to transferring the site into her name.

Her site, by the way, is the highest trafficked site about Anguilla (you can verify this at Alexa, Quantcast, Compete, etc.). She earns excellent income despite this being a 2-hour per week hobby for her.

9) “you can’t just move your website elsewhere to say cheaper hosting – you are tied up with SBI for life. You have to make $300/year just to break even on the deal!”

Flat wrong. Any Webmaster can suck these pages and move them to another Web host. Like any other transfer, you would have to hook up forms, etc. But SBI! sites are completely movable.

And $300/year amounts to $25 per month, cheap for all that SBI! provides…

http://www.sitesell.com/more-info/value.html

And cheap if you are at all serious about building a genuine, long-term, evergrowing business.

10) “they spend a lot of time quoting Alexa rank of SBI sites – Alexa ranks just proves that you have a bunch of internet marketers visiting your site – probably because of the link from the sales page – as they are the only people who use the Alexa tool bar. Internet marketers are unlikely to buy your homemade chocolates or rent your condo in Puerto Rico;”

This is an Alexa myth. It’s not possible to fake hundreds of Top 1% sites such as on…

http://results.sitesell.com/

And we do not promote USE of the Alexa toolbar. For more on Alexa, please read…

http://www.sitesell.com/alexa.html

It discusses how to use several metrics sites to get a better picture. But the bottom line message is that no other company can show the type of results like SBIers get.

No metrics site is perfect. I can point out serious flaws with Quantcast, Compete, etc. Sampling always has some built-in bias. Understanding statistics helps to understand how to use these tools more effectively than this reviewer comprehends.

11) “the search engine help according the site build it’s own sales promotion video involves submitting your sites to the search engines – do not ever do this – this just prooves (sic) to Google that your site is not worth visiting cause no one is linking to it. Read Court on why you should NOT submit your website to Google.”

Also false. We may still use the word “submit” in our sales sites (I don’t recall, but if so it’s conceptual). I do know that it has been a long time since we submitted pages.

Here is how SBIers have been ahead of the curve throughout the past many years in this area…

We were one of the first to automate Site Engine submission, always according to optimal sequences that worked (according to an algorithm that tracked spider visits to every page, indexing, etc.) We were also THE first to create an automatic Google SiteMaps XML file, adapting it as Yahoo!, MSN and Ask all came on board.

We do NOT tell SBIers to submit pages. That’s ancient history and totally false as this researcher would know if she actually did research on SBI!.

12) “further more (sic) to rank your site they suggest you use pay per click (PPC) advertising – this is as about as risky as say foreign exchange dealing as it not something any new on-line marketer should be doing.”

Um, no… we don’t. The whole point is that SBIers generate tens, then hundreds, then thousands, and many with tens of thousands of visitors PER DAY. Without PPC, instead with…

http://ctpm.sitesell.com/

I have no idea where this reviewer would get such incorrect information.

13) “You don’t need a newsletter or autoresponder unless you are selling crap – sorry I mean affiliate products to visitors. If you site is just for attracting niche buying search traffic – you don’t need these products.”

This is opinion, one that I don’t agree with. At least it’s not flat-out wrong facts such as we have seen up to now. It’s just an opinion that she does not believe in e-mail marketing. Many people do.

Many SBIers use a combination of e-mail marketing and RSS feeds to allow their followers a choice of how they want to “subscribe to their sites.” The feed is a RAPID updater about what’s new and the zine is a regular (ex., monthly) reminder of what’s new, staying in front of their visitors. Others use it to sell products that they create such as e-books, artisan materials, decking. And others use it to promote products for which they are affiliates.

14) “So no SBI is not a traditional scam. They no doubt deliver on what is promised – though you no doubt have to pay extra from the PPC champaign.”

I’m not sure how to deal with this statement. I’m glad to see one accurate phrase…

“They no doubt deliver on what is promised”

Actually, we’re well know for OVERdelivering.

And we’re not a scam, “traditional” or otherwise.

And we do not actively suggest PPC as an integral part of business-building. For the most part, PPC is a high-risk, hard-to-learn science that is beyond most people. We even tell our affiliates that they should be very sophisticated, and ready to lose money while they learn, before using PPC.

At most, we mention PPC, that it can be good for high-margin, low-cost niches, for example. But in general, we steer SBIers away from it.

15) “Yes traditional hosting and free software won’t give you support on how to build your business.

But $300 for support is pretty darn expensive.”

No, it’s pretty darn cheap when you consider…

1) all that you receive

2) that you don’t waste a year of your life on regular hosting/blogging. Most people simply can’t fathom all the barriers that have to be overcome.

3) that ultimately you acquire a new life skill and a successful, profitable business that will grow with you for the long-term.

16) “What Does It Cost to Build Your Own Site:

* $10 for a .com domain name ;
* around $5/month for cheap hosting BTW that will cover more than one website to;
* Drag and drop software to develop the site WordPress free or MyStarterBlog $7 (lifetime) ;
* keyword research – free use adwords external ;
* traffic analysis Google Analytics or Statcounter – both free

Yes its not all in one place, you have to learn to do some odd stuff along the way – but you are building a business aren’t you?”

No, again, I have to emphasize that you are NOT “building a site.” SBI! builds businesses. The bulleted list above is NOT what it takes to build a business.

SBI! owners build a business through a rigorous process, step by step, with ALL the tools integrated right into the process, and with Support and the best small business forums in the world.

That is what it takes to build a business. And it’s a lot more than than a domain name, “cheap hosting” (that will not be so cheap as soon as you start generating significant traffic), and free software from a variety of places.

17) “SiteBuildIt is basically a franchise model applied to building websites – without the brand awareness that having “McDonalds” or “Avon” in your business does to customers in the real world. Your visitors won’t feel more likely to buy from you just because your site is a “site build it!” site!”

Honestly, I have no idea where she gets these concepts. SBIers build their OWN “Brand of One.” SBI! is process-and-tools, not a franchise to sell our products.

You would be amazed at how many SBI! sites you find every day, not even recognizing what has become known as “the SBI! look.” That’s because the 40,000 sites (out of 100,000,000) way outperform the average non-SBI! site or blog.

In fact, the average visitor has no idea they are visiting a Site Build It!-built site. All they know is that the sites provide the information they were seeking, they read more and become PREsold, they subscribe to their RSS feeds and/or e-zines deepening that relationship, and ultimately they monetize through several of 15 major monetization models.

18) “Yes they don’t promise that you will get rich in your sleep. Whatever tools you use to develop a website that’s the easy bit – getting the traffic is the work bit.”

This is perhaps the closest-to-correct statement in the entire review. Developing a Web site is indeed the “easy bit.” Building traffic is what SBI! owners excel at. And converting that into income, building a profitable BUSINESS, is what SBI! is REALLY all about.

NOT building a site.

19) “Bottom line with the Site build it scam you put the hard work in – you get your keywords to rank and you don’t own your website.”

Bottom line with SBI! is that you bring BAM (Brain-Attitude-Motivation). We provide the rest, the process…

http://ctpm.sitesell.com

and all the tools…

http://tools.sitesell.com

… and the support and community to build a thriving online BUSINESS. And yes, [b]you own your Web site.[/b]

This single statement (”you don’t own your site”) should alert any serious reader as to just how badly researched this “review” is. She then proves it with a series of flat-out wrong statements…

I have quoted virtually every word from her quote. Not one stands up, except for the couple of places that grudgingly admit some sort of left-handed compliment.

Never have I seen such a poorly researched butchering of a review. Or baseless besmirching of Steve’s name. Shame.

So what IS e commerce?

Don’t be intimidated by e commerce….e commerce is nothing more than business on the web. If  you’ve ever bought or sold anything on Ebay, purchased a book on Amazon, or made any other transaction online you have participated in e commerce.  Simply put though, the definition of ecommerce is the buying and selling of products or services  over electronic systems such as the Internet and other computer networks.

Why is this significant? Why should this interest you?

Well it’s simple. E commerce allows you to take what you know, what you have, or what you’re interested in, and use it to create an at home business….Not only that, but you can

Run Your Business From Anywhere In The World!!!

Selling E-goods Is E-business At Its Best!

If you can digitize it, you can sell it.

Selling…

• e-books
• e-photo collections
• e-music
• e-clip art
• e-sounds
• cartoons/art/illustrations
• database products/software

… takes the Internet beyond a mere communications medium.

Even if you have a physical product you can use E commerce to expand an already existing business.

HE did it- And So Can You!!!

I have now created and published 10 ebooks/books. But it’s true that when I first came online I didn’t even have a single idea for a book or ebook.

I did understand from early on however, that it was very important to create a theme-based content-rich Website that would attract a lot of free or low-cost targeted traffic from the search engines. I also discovered that SBI! was the best way to create and maintain such a site.

However, it took me a while, and lots of trial-and-error experimentation, to figure out exactly how to convert that targeted SBI! traffic into a meaningful income in my “writing help” niche. Eventually I discovered that the best model in my particular niche was to create and sell info-products in the form of downloadable ebooks.

Ebooks are easy to create because you are writing about what you already know (i.e. your niche theme), and most importantly, once you’ve created a digital info-product you can easily set it up to sell on clickbank; over, and over, and over again.

It’s a great way to earn a living!

This is the story of how an Australian living in the outback, with next to no internet access or skills with her passion for travel and the outdoors built a web empire from scratch using Ken Evoy’s Site Build It. Lets let the CEO of Outback Australia Travel Secrets explain herself . . .

The Story Begins. . .

At first the idea of building a website to earn money sure seemed crazy… I live in a very remote region of Australia, the Outback of the Australian Outback if you like.

When I first saw SBI, computers and the internet were NOT a normal part of my life. Internet access here is slow and unreliable at best.

Sure, I’d seen and used computers at work. I had written memos and I had entered data in spreadsheets. I had sent about a dozen emails in my life, but that was as far as my experience went.

In addition, English is my second language (I’m of German origin) and I hate being indoors and sitting all day. Come to think of it, I never even liked computers…

Build a website? Crazy!

Find Out More About SBI Here

But there is one thing I dislike a lot more than computers, and that is being tied to a permanent job. Travel, adventure, opportunities to visit wild places and experience different cultures, all that is a very important part of my life.

A normal job doesn’t allow me to do that. You cannot travel the world on four weeks of annual leave, not the way I like to travel. That’s the reason why I’ve never lasted long in permanent jobs. My itchy feet always got the better of me.

I left Germany (it wasn’t wild enough for me) and moved to Australia when I was 25. I didn’t really “settle” here at that stage. I still traveled the world.

It was Decision Time . . .

The difference was that I started from Australia rather than from Germany.

Decision Time

And that eventually presented me with a problem, somewhat unexpectedly…

I missed having a real home, a place to return to at the end of a trip, to store my things, recharge my batteries, and, well, earn money for the next trip. Even nomads live in a permanent camp for part of the year.

I knew where and I knew exactly what I wanted; the decision was easy. I bought some land and built a house and… realized that now I was stuck. Stuck with a sizeable mortgage and a job that I soon hated.

I loved my land and my house, which meant that for the first time in my life I couldn’t just quit and move on to new adventures.

I guess it’s a very common scenario, one that most people resign themselves to. But no matter how common the scenario, I couldn’t accept it.

I wanted it all, my beautiful home AND the freedom to travel, so I started looking for a way out.

I came up with the brilliant idea of becoming a travel writer, and selling my articles. I bought a laptop computer and got internet access. I paid for a couple of writing courses and did a lot of reading about it. I even wrote some travel articles.

Find Out More About SBI Here

It didn’t take me long to work out that I could probably learn to write well enough to sell an article here and there. But could I make a living as a writer? Not in the foreseeable future.

Then, while surfing writers’ websites, I saw an offer for a course on making money on the internet. Hmmm, an interesting possibility. It was free, so I signed up.

The course didn’t live up to any of its promises. Despite its assurances otherwise, it sure wasn’t for beginners. It mainly showed me just how much I didn’t know.

As for its promise to help me make money, the course wanted me to spend more money instead, offering me “superior tools” and “proven systems” that would help me put up a website and rake in the dough without lifting a finger. I might have been new to the internet, but I wasn’t that gullible.

The whole experience was a real let down. But just as I was coming to terms with the fact that my “I’ll work on the internet and make money from anywhere in the world” bubble had burst, I stumbled across SBI. Even though the course had been so disappointing, it had at least taught me enough about the internet to immediately see the value SBI offered.

The Right Solution For Me

Find Out More About SBI Here

All the tools and learning materials were included. SiteSell (the company behind SBI) assumed I knew nothing. I really could start from zero and they would take me by the hand and through the site building process, step by step. SiteSell promised to not only teach me how to build a website, but also how to get traffic to it and how to make money with it.

As I said earlier, I’m not gullible. I exercised due caution and did some more research first. I asked a few people, I dug around on the internet, and no matter where I looked, I didn’t hear a bad word. Everybody said the same thing, “If you build your site with SBI, you will definitely get traffic.”

So I got out my credit card and signed up…

This time my bubble didn’t burst. Sitesell not only lived up to what they had promised, they went well over and above, and they continue to do so every day.

My SBI process started with generating and thoroughly analyzing ideas for website topics. To make sure my concept was viable I had to look at three aspects: how many people were interested in the topic, how much competition there was, and how many ways could I make money with this topic.

SBI!’s brainstorming tool showed that my first two ideas were unprofitable. However, it wasn’t long before I came up with a new topic…

A travel site about the Australian Outback.

Of course!…

Why not capitalize on the fact that I actually live in a part of the world that is a travel destination for others?

Find Out More About SBI Here

What would be a more natural fit for someone who lives to travel than a travel site?

The number of surfers looking for information about the Outback was a bit on the low side, and I saw that I would be facing considerable competition. However, it seemed that the existing sites – though slick and professional – were not all that useful and informative. They told people where to spend their money, but they didn’t tell them much about the Outback.

Also, as someone living here, I could tell that they had no idea what the Outback was really like. Typical… city folks giving advice about something they don’t even know! I knew I could offer my readers something better than that. According to SBI, the most important factor for a successful website is how well you offer real information and value to your readers.

It’s Not Rocket Science

So I took a deep breath and decided to go for it. Thanks to SBI, I knew exactly what I was getting myself into. I was aware that I had chosen a rather challenging topic, and that it wouldn’t be easy or quick. But I also knew that if I worked hard and was patient, I could make this work.

And work I did. I threw myself into the site building process, and for the next 6 months, I spent every spare minute, every evening, every weekend working on my site. I wanted to learn and do as much as I could. I remember those early days – I think I have a few more gray hairs to show for that period.

There is a lot to learn if you start from zero like I did. However, the SBI forums proved invaluable here. I didn’t even have to ask any questions; all I had to do was look around. All the questions have been asked before. No matter what problem, and no matter how stupid I felt for having it, others had been through the same thing before. The SBI community helps each other by sharing advice and experiences.

With every page I built, my confidence grew and things got easier. It didn’t take long at all to master page building. It’s not rocket science, not with the SBI tools.

Writing the actual words for the pages turned out to be harder for me. Writing slows me down a lot because I’m usually not happy with my wording. You might call me a perfectionist – I always want it to be the best possible. But even my writing is getting better with practice.

I kept writing pages and soon my site started to appear in the search engines, the first few readers visited, and I received the first email, submitted through a contact form on the site.

A total stranger wrote to tell me how helpful my site had been to him. Wow! I was on cloud nine. (I often get emails like that now, and they always make my day.)

SBI had promised me that if I made a website that people like and find useful, then I would get more and more traffic over time. That was exactly what was happening now. People started telling other people about my site, they mentioned it in travel forums and linked to it on their blogs.

I Quit My Day Job

My site was six months old when I signed up for Google’s Adsense program. Because I already had a lot of traffic, I earned money straight away. I received my first check after the first month. The checks have been coming ever since and every month they get bigger.

Things looked very promising. So much so that I decided months ago to leave my much hated day job. I gave notice for my old job in April 06, and bought a second SBI site instead. I was really committed to SBI and wanted to work at it full-time.

My sites are still not replacing my regular paycheck, but I get by, and I have some savings up my sleeve. I also have a casual part time job that allows me to earn a bit extra should I need it.

Both my sites still have a long way to go, especially the second one. I haven’t done much on that site yet, but it’s already more than paying for itself. The first site makes four digits a month.

And this is only the beginning. Adsense is great, but there are many more ways to make money with a website. Because I’ve been doing so well I haven’t even looked much at other options, but I plan to do so soon.

I’m also planning a third site, with a totally different topic. It’s almost ready to be launched and I’m very excited about it.

What can I say? Life has never been better.

Freedom is something that can’t be paid for.

It’s not that I work less, I probably work more than I ever did, but I do it on my own terms. It doesn’t feel like work at all.

I am confident that I will never have to work for others again unless I want to!

When I look back I find it hard to believe that it’s only been 15 months and my wildest dreams have come true. Just like that…

15 months from being stuck in a soul destroying job to being happily self employed and free to roam the world with my laptop.

I can’t think of a better way to make a living.

Oh, and I don’t hate computers any more.

Stop thinking of Starting An Online Business and Actually go out and do it!!!

The global financial crisis is such big news to the hearts, souls and back pockets of ordinary people throughout the world that it has even got its own acronym – the GFC.

But what does the GFC mean to ordinary people? You might be like so many of your friends, sweating over your job just to make sure you still have a job.

Warning: this may shock you . . .

SHOPPERS ARE STILL FLOCKING TO THEIR COMPUTERS RATHER THAN SHOPPING CENTRES AND MALLS

So what could this mean for you?

In a climate not looking so rosy there is still plenty of money to be made online.

A new poll conducted by RetailMeNot.com, an online coupon website, found that nearly nine out of 10 American consumers have changed their shopping habits as a result of high gas prices.

The poll found that out of more than 1,000 respondents who voted multiple times:

• 45 percent said they plan shopping trips together to use less gas
• 42 percent said they shop less
• 22 percent said they do as much shopping as possible online
• 11 percent said there was no impact

Whether or not the economy is bad, there are some best practices to keep in mind when opening an online business. Here are a few of Grau’s tips:

1. Have a niche or focus on a specialty category. Since you’re essentially competing with box retailers like Wal-Mart or Target when you enter the online retail space, “be sure [you're selling] something niche-oriented, such as fashionable maternity wear or urban street wear,” Grau says. “Or focus on a specific category, like shoes, but that’s all you do. But offer great custom service, such as making it easy to return shoes.”
2. Offer an innovative marketing technology. A good example of this is Diapers.com, a small web retailer.”[The company is] very successful in part because it has an innovative referral program where if a Diapers.com customer refers somebody else to the company, that customer gets a discount. That is one way it has built up its customer base.”Grau also says Diapers.com uses innovative packaging that enables it to cut down on shipping costs. Finally, the company is innovative in its focus on convenience; it makes it easy for young parents to have diapers delivered to their door without having to make a midnight run to the store because they are out of diapers.
3. Keep pricing in mind. Even if you are selling a niche product, always keep pricing a priority.

“You are never going to compete with big box retailers on pricing, but perhaps there is a promotion or value-added program you can offer that helps people deflect that or takes their minds off of pricing.”

A unique product, an innovative marketing technology and a promotion to help customers deflect prices are important business strategies during a recession because people have less discretionary money to spend.

If you have your unique product but don’t have any web skills to speak of, or if you don’t have the marketing skills to turn your passions into business then I have a great solution for you, it’s like a business in a box.

It’s called Site Build It, here’s what it does:

• Have a professionally designed, great looking website
• Learn how to turn a website into a profitable business
• Empowers you to have the lifestyle YOU want

Whatever It Is You Love You Can Find Business Plan Templates And Start……

MONETIZING YOUR KNOWLEDGE!

Its true-Your knowledge is power and if you go about it the right way it can also mean profits.

Business Plan Templates

Typical structure for a business plan

* cover page and table of contents
* executive summary
* business description
* business environment analysis
* industry background
* competitive analysis
* market analysis
* marketing plan
* operations plan
* management summary
* financial plan
* attachments and milestone

Any template you find that covers these basics will be a good place to start.

Turn Your Knowledge Into Revenue

Anyone with motivation can do it.  So why do most fail?  Small businesses fail to act on the fundamental reality of how people use the Web.  No one “passes by.”  They search for information, information, information. A small business is like any other business,  and a good business starts with a business plan. A business plan is a formal statement of a set of business goals, the reasons why they are believed attainable, and the plan for reaching those goals. It may also contain background information about the organization or team attempting to reach those goals. There are many good places to find business plan templates, so start searching and find a template that will allow you to easily outline and plan the goals that are right for you.
