I have an information topic in mind that I am knowledgeable about and that has the potential for cross-selling the goods and services of others.

Unfortunately I'm out of work right now on disability and waiting for back paychecks to come in. Perfect time to work on building my site, but not the perfect time to make the investment.

So while I'm saving, what should I be working on? Writing my content? Researching competitors? I don't want to get into something that's too time-intensive that SBI provides tools for, but I want to make SOME progress.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Researching existing sites and deciding how you want to differentiate your site is a great exercise. SBI! will suggest you do this too when you get started but it can't hurt to get an early jump on that.

I think so many people (whether they use SBI! or not) start off by just regurgitating and re-phrasing the same old content without finding their voice. And I think if you really take some time deciding how you want to position yourself and set yourself apart from others is a good exercise.

I totally agree with Lisa. I think that this is the best time for you to start researching other sites and seeing how you can offer something they don't. And having your content written and ready for when you do purchase SBI will just put you ahead of the game. I wish I had time like that.
