From the company that first developed the concept of niche-based content sites based on keyword research, Brainstorm It! 5 is the world's first smart brainstormer, niche-picker, and keyword researcher.
Based on your areas of interest, Brainstorm It! delivers hundreds of possible Site Concepts for your new online venture. You'll never be at a loss for fantastic business ideas!
Most solopreneurs don’t prepare adequately. Not so for SBI! members! Before creating your first web page, you will...
Brainstorm It! uses its Site Concept Finder to bring back hundreds of keywords for three possible Site Concepts, all at once. Compare all three side-by-side with a wide range of filters that determine which of the three is your best potential Site Concept, take into account probable profitability and the time you have available — and there's your business niche!
Once you've found your perfect niche, then researched and narrowed down your list of keywords... it's time for structure. Blueprint It! is an intuitive, simple-to-use drag and drop module that allows you to plan and visualize your website's navigation structure. Integrated directly within Brainstorm It!, it allows you to arrange your keywords (which will become the pages of your site) into tiers.
Blueprint It! replaces time-consuming third-party spreadsheets and mind maps, or writing lists or diagrams on paper. It's all there for you, and it couldn't be quicker or easier to use.
The Vertical and Lateral modules push Brainstorm It! beyond third-party keyword tools costing $500+. (SBI!'s entire suite of tools consists of much more than this keyword software, as outlined on this page. Yet SBI!'s price is only $365.)
Obtain a complete competitive review for any keyword. One click automates a process that only pros know how to do (and it takes them a whole lot longer). The information summarized for you from sites for every keyword? Priceless.
SimilarWeb search results are integrated within our tools to bring back reams of invaluable information about competitors.
Niche Choose It! is an invaluable tool that enables an SBIer to flawlessly choose the best Site Concept possible for his/her niche-based content site, along with the best possible domain name. No factor is overlooked by Niche Choose It!.
We use Semrush's powerful suite of APIs to ensure that our keyword research data is current and relevant.
Want to get fresh ideas for your website? Or maybe you want to know what’s being talked about in your niche on social media.
No problem! Our Search It! tool constantly updates information to provide you with more than 100 possible searches across 20 categories, so that you have the best, the most up-to-date, the highest quality information you could wish for.
In short, use Search It! to enhance your business-building efforts.
The C in C T P M is where your business succeeds. Getting "Content" right means means focusing on writing it to the best of your ability, not on the tools of the trade. SBI!'s suite of building and managing tools allows you to do just that... focus on your content, not on the technical ins and outs of publishing it.
You choose your domain name. We register it for you (in your name). One click and you're done. Like everything else, the domain name is included in the price. No third-party extra charges.
No need for you to pay for hosting. State of the art web hosting and email for a full year are included in SBI!. Fast, secure, ultra-reliable. Unlimited pages, images and bandwidth.
Park a domain name for planned later use, protection of your main domain name, redirects, and "accidental traffic." The $17.99 annual fee per domain name includes a domain-redirect and unlimited subdomain-redirects.
SBI! includes a fully integrated email system for your business. You can easily integrate SBI! with Gmail and other email platforms if preferred.
Whatever your site and graphics talents (or lack of!), SBI! has you covered with dozens of themes, created by different designers for a super-wide range of looks. And of course they're responsive, and look great on all devices.
As you design your business identity, you can easily customize any element in your chosen theme using intuitive, simple-to-use tools.
If you're a more advanced designer, you're free to upload your own HTML, CSS, images, etc., directly into SBI!'s system.
Building a website can be a bit intimidating at first. And so many who have built sites have business-damaging bad habits. SBI!'s unique BlockBuilder painlessly trains you to build pages that both engines and humans love!
If you know how to drag and drop, you can build an effective site, full of content that people want and that engines rank highly. No need for HTML, Perl, FTP, or JavaScript.
A unique click-easy feature in BlockBuilder allows you to show (or hide) items on your pages specifically for mobile devices, or desktop, or both.
Simply choose the page item, and select which device to display it on. The result is a site that provides easy-to-access information for your visitors regardless of how they see it.
Already using an HTML editor? Photoshop? CSS? Simply upload your pages into SBI! and enter a new world that's far beyond traditional hosting.
The difference is that you can plug it all straight into the SBI! system and take full advantage of all of SBI!'s integrated keyword-brainstorming-and-researching, traffic-building and relationship-building tools.
Manage your pages and images effortlessly with intuitive, familiar interfaces. For example, you can arrange and rearrange your images into folders without changing URLs. Arrange them how you want them. Leave the techie parts to us.
Content 2.0 enables every visitor to an SBI! site to create website pages (with text and images) on your site, expanding its content base and attracting more natural search engine traffic. C2 is also known as “User Generated Content or UGC.” Learn more about Content 2.0 here.
SBI! makes micro blogging possible by automatically adding your site's content to a blog format, then creating an RSS feed so people can subscribe to it. You have nothing to do (except click a button to turn this free option on!). The benefit is great, the cost to you (in time and money) is zero.
You can also plug a full WordPress or any other kind of blog straight into your SBI! site. In general, most small-business people can realize a superior "Return on Investment" by creating a niche-based content site rather than by blogging. But if you want or need to add one, you can.
A simple, unique, no-code-needed approach to what techies call "server-side includes." This awesome feature allows you to designate and save blocks of content (text, images, etc.) into a library for reuse on other pages. When you update or edit any one of your pages, SBI! updates all pages that contain the reusable block for you. A massive time-saving feature!
Site Health is your virtual system administrator! Click a button and it scans your website for problems like broken links, broken images, and unsecure resources. Site Health then creates a report and alerts you to take action — automatically. A clean site is not only important for your visitors, it's an important factor for how well your site ranks in the search engines.
Traffic is the lifeblood of your web business. No visitors = no business. Without SBI!, most small business sites fail to build their own free, targeted traffic. So they have to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars per month for visitors (e.g., by buying Google Ads or Facebook ads or paying high store rents, etc.).
SBI!'s advanced combination of process-and-tools is at its best when it comes to building free and targeted traffic. What's technically impossible for most is handled in the background by SBI!, enabling you to focus on turning free traffic into business.
SBI!'s unique process analyzes each web page just before you build it. It tells you, in simple language, how to optimize your wording to obtain high search engine rankings. This expert advice is merely the first step in the generation of high amounts of free traffic.
SBI! tracks and reports on when search engine spiders visit each of your pages, and when each page is listed. If it's taking too long, or if a page is dropped, it even tells you and offers suggestions on what to do about it.
SBI! automatically informs all major search engines when an SBIer adds, changes or deletes a page. NO fuss, NO muss. And the sitemap includes every image on every page, so the engines always know about them as well.
Only SBI! helps your site get listed at more engines for more pages, faster. And if you don't understand any of this, that's the point — you shouldn't have to.
And with SBI!, you don't have to.
As an SBI! member, your entire site is automatically submitted to search engines every time you update anything. It's done by something called a Sitemap XML file — another techie thing you don't need to worry about.
How much time, energy and money does it cost to update and re-submit your sitemap document? None. SBI! does it all for you.
Originally introduced by Google, SBI! was the first to take advantage of this protocol. When Yahoo! adopted it, SBI! had all SBIers benefiting from this new version within days.
Since then, modifications have occurred as all major engines adopted this technical protocol. SBI! takes care of all matters like this (e.g., site ownership verification protocols) so SBIers can focus on business.
SBI! reports on how each page ranks for your keywords at each engine. Certain pages not ranking well? SBI! tells you, in simple language, exactly what to do to rank higher.
SBI! does much more than give the engines complete information about the pages of your site, exactly the way they want it. It tracks all their spider visits. It checks that pages are indexed. SBI! reports rankings, too.
In other words, you have a constantly up-to-date snapshot of your "search engine marketing" efforts and results. And it does all this for your pages... at no extra charge. No other service does ALL this free. And - this process is constantly updated.
Traffic stats are presented in an easy-to-understand, useful, and actionable format. And all SBI! sites can connect with Google's free Google Analytics.
SBI!'s Click Analysis is unique. Critical info is available about visitors who click into and out of your site, offering vital insight into user behavior and how to increase visitor monetization.
Search Engine HQ and Image Search HQ provide the most current, bottom-line, up-to-date information that you need and the functionality to generate more traffic and report how you're doing.
No need to spend time reading anything else. The HQs are all that you need.
First time visitors develop trust and confidence in you when you overdeliver one what they seek... relevant, original information. Then deepen the relationship with more. Developing your "brand" has never been easier with the following special, integrated modules...
Create custom newsletters using the integrated Mail Out Manager. Add a sign up form to any of your pages by simply dragging a block into the page builder.
Deliver great content to subscribers through your own newsletter. It builds trust. It credentializes you. And it ultimately causes visitors to know you, like you and do business with you. SBI!'s MailOut Manager includes...
Or integrate with Mailchimp or Aweber, which allows you to use the Site Designer-customized newsletter opt-in form to build your list. No more struggling to make the Mailchimp form's look match your site's look.
The ultimate in both data collection and delivery. Build surveys and polls. Collect data, feedback, and leads. Earn referral fees for each lead that your form sends to a partner. Filter and analyze data. Send courses via a series of scheduled emails (a "sequential autoresponder") that presells your expertise. Then sell your products or services. Each form has an option you can include that lets your visitors sign up for your newsletter with one click of their mouse.
Blog It! adds every page of your SBI! site to a blog page. This is a powerful way to distribute your website wider, and requires no additional "dedicated blog commitment."
Socialize It! gives your visitors the opportunity to share your content with their friends and family. It places a set of buttons (choose from Facebook, X, Pinterest, Tumblr, Reddit, WhatsApp and Messenger) on every page on your site.
Face It! combines Facebook's viral sharing power with SBI!'s ease of use. With a few mouse clicks, you can add up to three Facebook Like buttons to your pages. And you can have those three buttons allow Likes for your pages, or for your site as a whole.
Face It! can also add Facebook's commenting tool to each of your content pages. This allows anyone (not just Facebook users) to add a comment to your page. Facebook users have the option of posting the comment to their timeline, where all their friends will see it, which rapidly spreads the word about your great content.
Worried about spam commenting? Face It! gives you the tools to create moderators for your comments!
With billions of Facebook users, Face It! gives you the tools to tap into that huge market to get the word out about your site.
Facebook's Open Graph tags are increasingly important as more services use them (Facebook, Google, etc.).
SBI! adds Open Graph tags to every page of your site, automatically. The only thing you have to do is create a Site Name.
SBI! even adds multiple og:image tags. If an image meets several criteria that ensure it will be interesting to visitors, SBI! creates a tag and adds it to the head section of the page. Automatically!
If your niche lends itself well to images, your visitors may want to save them to their Pinterest boards. Saving pins leads to repeat visitors. Use Pin It! to make it super easy.
Do you use X to engage with others? Use Socialize It!'s Destinations buttons to make it easy for them to follow you on X.
Make it easy for visitors to follow you on Pinterest. Your Pinterest username is all it takes in Socialize It!'s Destinations tool.
The M in C T P M is where it all pays off.
In one sense, every SBI! module is a monetization module. Brainstorm It! (telling you the most profitable keywords) literally points you to "where the money is."
Among Search It!'s 100+ searches are several monetization options — e.g., find affiliate programs in your niche. Form Build It! allows visitors to contract your services. And they're just three examples.
The SBI! modules all lead to the same goal: a profitable business. But that's just the beginning. Consider the possibilities...
Most small business websites fail because they don’t drive enough traffic. SBI! members, though, create high trafficked sites. And the private Monetization HQ is a world-class resource that shows site owners how to convert all those visitors into income.
Filled with constantly updated articles that explain the "how-to" of every monetization model possible, it enables you to maximize per-visitor income by establishing and growing multiple streams of income.
Infin It! truly adds near infinite options by enabling you to plug third-party resources into special areas ("subdomains") of your SBI! site. Whatever you want, you can do, from the C to the M of C T P M.
Use it to amplify the C of C T P M with more content (e.g., blogs, video, etc.). Or harness that motor (i.e., get more M dollars out of it!) by plugging more and more Monetization models (e.g., stores/shopping carts, membership sites) into your SBI! site.
Even perfect preparation, excellent process and all the tools can fail if you don't have a helping hand when you need one. SBI! offers much more than support, and it does so with genuine care for your success...
It's literally like having the world's top online business building expert guiding you, every step of the way to where you need to go. Read the text version (on your computer or mobile device), or watch the video version of the Action Guide.
There's no substitute for a friendly, non-competitive, and supportive environment where you can connect with real people, ask questions and help others.
Successful solopreneurs discover that passive income models (e.g., AdSense and affiliate programs) don't maximize traffic monetization. More and more are developing their own products, delivering much higher margins and taking back total control of their sites (no fear of new Google rules or even being dropped from AdSense, no termination such as the wide-scale Amazon chops).
Make It! a step-by-step guide for developing your very own products. It covers it all... conceiving, creating, developing, making, marketing, selling, distributing and supporting a product that you own 100%. Income increases, as does your business's equity (i.e., its value when you sell it). When you control how you monetize 100%, you are no longer dependent on anyone but you!
Context-appropriate, as-you-need-it online help guides you step-by-step no matter what tool you're using and what your questions might be, constant help is readily available.
We curate the best information from member feedback, marketing experts, blogs, newsletters and feeds, reducing it all to a few strong strategies that work. Only the key info you must know, along with clear instructions on how to get the most out of them.
No need to read endlessly to "keep up." The Tips and Techniques HQ is constantly updated with new and important information. Our collection of cutting edge articles represents the best from the SBI! forums and the most respected resources in the industry.
Wondering how to monetize your site? The Monetization HQ covers dozens of ways to make money from your content, including contextual advertising, promoting products as an affiliate, selling your own digital or physical goods, and much more.
The Resources HQ provides top recommendations on specialized third-party tools, saving you time and money.
SBI! accepts no money for these recommendations. Whenever possible, we negotiate price reductions for SBIers instead of accepting affiliate commissions or payment of any kind.
Need help? We're standing by 24x7, with personalized one-to-one help. The same support person stays with you from start to finish... no frustrating start-over with different people.

No need to wonder about this or that latest trend in the news. If it will make a difference to your business, it gets built in to SBI!. Always updating, always free.
Many of SBI!'s new (and existing) features add unique site- and business-building ability that you will not find anywhere else. Improvements fall into two categories...
A series of social media releases, anchored by Open Graph Tags, turn SBI! sites into social media powerhouses (no need for you to sweat over all the technical stuff).
The latest version of Brainstorm It!, v5, adds in traffic data so that you know which pages are not pulling their weight, which keywords give you the best opportunities to generate more traffic, and which keywords are the most likely to increase your income.
There are too many to include them all here. Examples include regular extensions to "BlockBuilder 2" (BB2), SBI!'s state-of-the-art sitebuilder. More on BB2 and Site Designer here.
Big or small, additions are beyond click-easy to implement. They just appear, ready to go. No need to figure out what other third-party software you need to supplement site-building, nor find the best of each type while avoiding buggy ones, nor pay for them and learn each one separately, and so on.
WordPress plugins, for example, are built by thousands of different developers, each with their "way" of interacting with the WordPress core. Sometimes this can lead to broken code or incompatibility, or, at the worst, a programmer can simply abandon the project, leaving users in the dust.
SBI! modules and improvements are all built by us, top to bottom. "Built-in." That means they all fit together seamlessly. If it's in SBI!...
It. Just. Works.
Not a penny. All of the new features you see below are free, included in the all-in-one price of Solo Build It!.
Many of SBI!'s new (and existing) features add unique site- and business-building ability that you will not find anywhere else.
And SBI! is never "finished." It evolves constantly to...
That's why SBIers do better and better as the internet becomes an increasingly complex place to build a successful online business.
Here's what we've been adding...
Brainstorm It! 5 continues the legacy of the world's most useful, accessible, competitive intelligence tool. After well over a years worth of development, Version 5 brings an overhaul of algorithms and data sources to help you decide on ideas for content and sub niches, evaluate competition, and explore new, in-demand directions for your business. BI! 5 truly is industrial level power made accessible for the solopreneur.

Form spam has become rampant in the online world. But not for SBI! members.

We added several other spam-catching tools to ensure that form spam is reduced to the lowest level possible.
SBI! comes with a newsletter marketing tool, MailOut Manager. But some people prefer to use Mailchimp or AWeber for their mailings. So we created an integration tool that lets Mailchimp/AWeber users offer their newsletter using SBI!'s opt-in form. No more struggling at Mailchimp or AWeber to make their form's color scheme and format match your site. Everything's done in SBI!, while mail management is done in Mailchimp/AWeber.
