    Updated: 2010-01-16 14:04:34
    SBI (Site Build It) is the tool that allowed me to create Best Children's Books, a site that reaches tens of thousands of people each month. I had to teach myself how to do it, but then again, I prefer books to classrooms. In the last year, SBI launched an online school. People from all over the world are "attending," and then graduating with their very own website! You can too. And if you sign up now, you can attend a free webinar on January 21st to learn more about the whole deal. And here's the thing... Because this school was new, SBI has been offering it at a discount price. That discount price goes away forever on February 1st. Translation? NOW is the time to see if it's for you. Learn more and sign up for the webinar by clicking the link below. Time is running out!
