"Sitsell Delivers Outstanding Service"
Sitsell stands out as a top-notch service provider. They go above and beyond for what they ask in return. The support is top-tier, and their packages include everything necessary to create a thriving business. Plus, they have a fantastic peer support forum that's super user-friendly. This has been my experience over the last 15 years. Ken, the guy behind Sitsell, truly cares about his clients. The company really embodies a desire for us to succeed, which is pretty rare in the online space.

"Unable to respond to..."
I can't seem to respond to sitesell's answer to my previous review. But I really want to, so I'm crossing my fingers this shows up. I can guarantee that all the links were working fine, and even my YouTube videos disappeared, showing a message that said 'account closed.' I definitely didn't shut it down.

"Product's great, but tech support? Not so much."
I really like the product, but their tech support? Not a fan. I'm pretty low maintenance, but they sure have a knack for pointing fingers when you bring up a problem. I spent a couple of days trying to sort out an issue that was clearly on SiteSell's end, and all I got were a bunch of repetitive and off-topic questions instead of any real help.
After a few days of back and forth, they finally told me how to fix it myself, even though the issue was clearly their fault. It took me quite a while to get it sorted out.
At one point, after I expressed my frustration, tech support sent me a patronizing explanation about what a folder is. Seriously?
Not only was that absurd, but it had nothing to do with the actual problem I was facing.
Considering I only reach out to them maybe once a year, this seems to be a recurring issue.

"Outdated Business Approach"
We decided to move our assets from SiteSell to other platforms that are more modern and offer better customer service. When we reached out for help due to some issues, the support team was quick to reply via email and friendly, which was nice. However, a big source of annoyance was the lack of clarity in the communications and processes I received from SiteSell. The emails and info from their domain management portal were often confusing and contradictory. Plus, the absence of a phone number for customer support made things even trickier.
SiteSell might work for folks who aren’t too savvy with marketing since they handle a lot of the work for you. But if you’re looking for more direct access and control over your site, there are plenty of other vendors out there that can simplify things for you, probably at a similar price.
I suggest that SiteSell revamps its software to give users more control. They also need to take a good look at their communication methods and improve their processes to make life easier for their customers.

"This could work for someone with more time..."
This could work for someone with more time...but I sure don't! I even forked out an extra $1000 for assistance, but that support fizzled out. Not convinced I got my money's worth. Uploading my pictures? Forget it! Just trying to get even ONE uploaded took me HOURS that I simply don't have! I can't wrap my head around how to format things, like primary and secondary, or how to create links. The 'help' articles are no good, because it could take 10 hours of digging and still come up empty. (Yep, I actually timed it!) If ONLY I could just write my articles and have someone else handle the formatting...but that just didn't happen. If I'm shelling out that kind of cash, I might as well hire someone to build my site.

"SBI! is a vital part of my journey"
As a licensed amateur radio operator, I've been able to share my insights and expertise with both new and seasoned hams around the globe, thanks to SBI's one-of-a-kind business development approach. I've got two SBI-created websites: HamRadioSecrets.com, which I've run since 2008, and LeRadioamateur.com (in French) since 2018. I also self-publish books focused on amateur radio HF wire antennas, and my sales keep blowing my mind every year. Honestly, it’s not too shocking, considering that over the last year, more than 215,000 folks have checked out my business sites. With that many potential customers coming through, I’m more than happy with SBI!, a product of SiteSell Inc., a company I trust completely. I wouldn’t have found success online without their expert support and guidance throughout the years. I’m not kidding when I say their competitors are, without a doubt, exaggerating. If you’re keen on making it online, do your homework. Swing by Sitesell.com and check out the solid proof that their rivals just can’t match. The important thing to remember is 'verifiable'.

"I hardly ever write reviews, but..."
I hardly ever write reviews, whether they’re positive or negative, but I truly think this business deserves high praise. My experiences with SBi have always been great over the years. They really stand out. If only there were more companies like them! Definitely recommend.

"My Journey as an SBI User Since 2008"
Since 2008, I've been an SBI user. Over the years, I've created a bunch of websites on various platforms and hosts, but now I’ve got just one focused on scams, built with SBI. No doubt about it, SBI is the top choice for establishing an online presence [and just to clarify, I don’t get any perks for saying this].
The level of service I’ve experienced is outstanding, and that’s one of the key advantages of SBI that really puts it above the competition.
Anyone who bashes SBI probably isn’t a real user, but more likely a rival who just can’t measure up to what SBI offers.
For anyone serious about building a website and not chasing after those get-rich-quick myths, SBI is definitely the way to go.
"Solo Build It: More Like Family Than Just a Business!"
Hey there! I'm Mike Ellis, hailing from the UK, and I drive a taxi for a living. My dream is to sell a bunch of products and services through the Affiliate Programs offered by big suppliers.
I’m aiming to create a website that kicks off with some passive income, and who knows, it might even turn into a full-time gig down the line.
Here’s the kicker: I’m not exactly a tech whiz, so I needed a company that could guide me through the whole process, step by step.
After getting a recommendation, I reached out to Site Sell, now known as Solo Build It. What really struck me about SBI was their straightforward approach—no “Get Rich Quick” nonsense that you see everywhere online.
SBI backs up their claims with proof that their methods can land you on page 1 of Google search results. They were upfront with me from the get-go, stressing that I’d need to put in some serious effort. They also made it clear that other companies promising to whip up a stunning website in no time (I’ve seen those ads) are just not realistic! I learned a valuable lesson about a common mistake that many eager entrepreneurs make.
Let me break it down: imagine you just splurged on a shiny new car, but the dealer forgot to tell you that you can’t buy gas (or petrol, as we say in the UK).
That’s the same deal with building a website. What’s the point of a gorgeous site if nobody’s visiting? I need tons of interested folks to check out my site and buy the products I recommend. Thankfully, SBI shows you the ropes.
The SBI program opened my eyes to all the little details I never knew were important. It’s starting to click for me, but I’ve still got a lot to learn and work to do.
One thing I can definitely say about this company is that since joining the SBI program, I’ve really come to value their one-on-one customer support, usually through email. It’s top-notch! Plus, there’s a welcoming forum for any other questions. The vibe there is all about “Pay It Forward”—sharing what you’ve learned with others, and they really do that.
It took me a couple of months to finally pick and register my domain name. I hit a few bumps along the way, but every time, SBI was there to help me get back on track. Their support team is quick and friendly.
I’m writing this review because SBI came to my rescue again just yesterday, and I felt it was only right to show my gratitude in writing.
Thanks a ton, SBI!

"My Journey with SiteSell Over 16 Years"
I first came across SiteSell back in 2002 after reading "Make Your Site Sell!" by Ken Evoy, M.D., the founder of SiteSell, Inc. That e-book was a game changer for me—way more helpful than anything else I had come across regarding online marketing for small business owners.
When Dr. Evoy rolled out the Site Build It! (SBI!) program, I jumped on board in 2004 and have been a loyal customer ever since. (SBI! now stands for Solo Build It!, highlighting its focus on solopreneurs, which is exactly who SiteSell aimed to support from the start.)
Here’s what I appreciate most about SiteSell:
* Outstanding customer service - truly the best I've experienced, whether online or offline.
* Meticulous attention to detail, from the coding to the content to the Help and Support and educational resources.
* Top-notch education & training - nearly everything I know about websites, online marketing, and writing web copy comes from SiteSell. I’m more of a reader, but I know many folks like to learn through videos, and SiteSell caters to both styles.
* The tools perform even better than they claim. I’ve figured out how to create valuable content and draw visitors to my site without shelling out for ads.
* Great value for money - I’ve learned the hard way that SBI! is way cheaper than building a similar site on WordPress. Sure, WordPress has tons of options and flexibility, but wow, that learning curve is steep! By the time you buy all the plugins, themes, and security features, plus pay a consultant to sort out plugin issues and set up AMP, you can easily be looking at $100 a month or more. SiteSell offers so much more than WordPress for just a fraction of that cost.

"Review of Solo Build It! (SBI!) from a Longtime User"
I've been a customer of Sitesell since around 2004 or 2005, which feels like ages in internet years. SBI has been constantly improving and keeps on doing so.
I manage five niche websites, none of which focus on internet marketing or promoting SBI. On two of them, I sell my own travel guide books, while another generates leads for a trekking and climbing business. One site is dedicated to natural health and green living, and the last one is all about gardening. Since 2008, these sites have given me a solid full-time income.
If some of my sites appear like they were created a decade ago, it’s because they were, and I haven’t felt the pressing need to refresh the design just yet. (I’ll get to it eventually ;) ) They still bring in more cash than I require.
I’d say this holds true for many other SBI sites that might look a bit dated. What distinguishes them from the majority of websites out there is their longevity and effectiveness.
You can definitely create a sleek, modern site with SBI, but keep in mind that it won’t automatically attract visitors or generate income. SBI teaches you the essentials of what actually works.
It’s not a get-rich-quick scheme. But if you’re willing to put in the effort, it can pay off. (A bit of simple math shows it took me around 3-4 years to hit the 10K per month milestone, starting from scratch with no prior website or internet marketing experience.) SBI focuses on teaching you how to establish a sustainable, successful online business, rather than just making a pretty website.
Yeah, Ken can be a bit long-winded. But honestly, who cares? :) SBI sites consistently outperform the competition, and that’s what really counts for me.

"Review of SBI! (Solo Build It!): Same Old Story"
SBI, also known as Sitesell or Solo Build It!, is a total joke. It's pretty wild to think that in 2017, Ken Evoy and his crew of affiliates—those folks making money off this product—are still dragging around this dead weight called SBI! and trying to sell it to folks who haven’t done their homework.
Almost all the glowing reviews you find online are penned by affiliates or those who stand to profit from Sitesell (like Sanet Geyser, who claims to be a 'Certified Sitesell Educator and Facilitator').
Ken really hounds customers and affiliates in his online forums, practically BEGGING them to write positive reviews to counter what he labels as 'fake' reviews (which are just negative ones he doesn’t like). In his quest for good feedback, he even goes to the extent of crafting lengthy posts in his forum—now public, by the way—where he 'teaches' folks how to write favorable reviews, then asks them to submit these so he and his Sitesell team can tweak and polish them.
The whole situation just stinks of desperation, and there’s a solid reason for that. The product is terrible. If he put as much effort into improving the product as he does into pleading for positive reviews and whining about 'fake' feedback, maybe he’d actually make some progress. But this nonsense has been dragging on for at least ten years, which, not surprisingly, is about how long the sites created with SBI! Solo Build It! have looked outdated.

"Sitesell Remains My Top Pick After Exploring Other Options"
Without a doubt, Sitesell is my top recommendation for anyone launching a website for the first time. I set out to create a site, but SBI showed me how to build a sustainable online life with real results. I've been with Sitesell since 2004, and I can switch my website whenever I want. I've tested various other platforms, and here's why I can't imagine being without SBI:
* the most secure hosting - no hackers, no downtime!
* exceptional technical support - no problem too big or small
* continuous training and education - no guesswork, ever
* top-notch website builder - always getting better
* $29 a month is a bargain compared to what I'd pay for 10,000-15,000 daily visitors if I went with another host.
* owner Ken Evoy and the Sitesell crew are fantastic, ethical, and genuinely supportive folks who prioritize their site owners' interests every step of the way.
But hey, don’t just take my word for it. Try another platform and see what online failure feels like, then give Sitesell a shot. That’s the only way you’ll really grasp all that SBI brings to the table.

"SBI is truly a top-notch service..."
SBI has proven to be an exceptional service provider in my experience. Since 2008, I've only got good things to say about their resources, support, and overall service. After doing my homework, I can confidently say that SBI offers fantastic value for a pretty fair price.
