Default Just registered domain name with SBI

My journey with SBI has been a long time coming.

It started one day when I was frustrated about making a living online. I attended college to become a web designer, but the work I did for the small amount of income I was making (and to put up with certain clients) was bringing me down. I've always loved web design, and it was a hobby of mine in high school. I also love to write.

I'd seen so many "make money on the web" sales pitch pages. Highlighted, red font colored text. You've seen them. They scream "I'm full of it, and all I want is your money!!" I was tired of finding those. Thankfully, I've never fallen for one.

In my frustration one afternoon, I typed "create a website" into google, and voila, I found Lisa! I remember saying to my husband after an hour on her site, "I love this chick! This makes so much sense!" It was like the big DUH! light bulb finally turned on inside of my head.

I found out about SBI!, and I was naturally skeptical, but I checked out all the freebies - the e-books by Ken and all that jazz. I continued returning to Lisa's site over and over, learning and reading more, reading the blog, re-reading pages from a year before and watching her videos. I was absorbing it all.

Finally, here I am, a little over a year later, I bought SBI! I clicked on the link through Lisa's site, took a deep breath and paid the $300.00 for SBI! My heart was pounding the whole time. It was never like that when I bought hosting from another provider.

Each decision making step has been heart pounding. Now I have my domain name, and even thought I'm very certain I'm going about this the right way, I feel like I might have a panic attack! LOL I think it's because, in the past, I would've quit by now or started taking short cuts. Believe me, I've been tempted into short cuts doing this process as well. But when it happens, I try to get away from the computer and breathe so I don't sabotage myself again.

Deep breaths. Wow. I'm so nervous.

Has anyone else felt like this using SBI! Is it a struggle for anyone else to follow the action guide and read all the information you paid for and specifically requested?? LOL It's seems silly when I put it that way, but that's essentially my problem. "What, more articles to read? You've got to be kidding me?!" like it's a burden instead of a blessing. Shame on me.

Anyway, in my anxiety ridden state I feel like I'm rambling. LOL I think I need a chill pill or something.

Hi Jennifer,

First of all, welcome to the SBI! family! (And thanks for using my link.) I think it's totally natural to have that feeling of excitement/nervousness. And as far as the reading, yes it definitely can be overwhelming so you have to pace yourself. My friends who have bought SBI! talk to me about the amount of reading all the time. But it is all really good information to know and they've all said that they are so glad they chose SBI! even though there are much cheaper options available.

Just take it a step at a time and remember to enjoy this ride. It's always a little overwhelming at first, but once you get thru the reading and begin building your site, getting involved in your niche, you'll find that it gets better.

Wishing you all the best.

Hopefully I will register my domain too, really soon with any luck today!

I started out with SBI at the beginning of May but already has some preparation before that in April

Good luck we will see how it goes for both of us!

I can relate to alot of what you have described in your post. I wanted for years to learn how to make money online and was frustrated and disgusted
with all the get-rich-quickers who tried to make believe they had the
miracle answer to getting rich overnight.

It wasn't until I came across Lisa's site that I finally realized that some
people are for real and give excellent advice!

I bought SBI a year ago, knowing NOTHING about building a page or web design or any of that, and have slowly but surely started getting to feel I have a decent site started. I'm still adding content and determining how to build some traffic.

Its overwhelming, still, but I just keep plugging along. The reading and learning with the SBI tools is slow going at times, but so many people swear by its success that I am determined to become one of them!

Good luck in your building process. With your passion and determination, you'll do great!
