Some sites grab you as rip offs and some just seem like rip offs until you open up the hood and do a real close inspection.  The software developer in me has a real hard time condoning web sites that are a proponent of allowing programs to create your website, however; the business side of me slaps me across the face and says Lisa is offering advice for free, so why in the world wouldn’t you take it?  What really had me is Lisa’s video’s.  She speaks from experience and is genuinely sincere, and her advice is rock solid.  Not many people who are proponents of making money on the internet discourage people from their techniques, but Lisa tells future web entrepreneurs that there is no get rich quick scheme and that you should expect to work 10-12 hour days.  All of the content on the 2CreateAWebSite blog appears to be sponsored by other companies or are distributed for free by Lisa, which in my book goes a long way towards credibility.  While I’m not rushing out to become an affiliate of SBI! (Site Build It!) I will continue to read and listen to Lisa Irby’s advice.

Summary:  This post won’t make you rich.  Wealth doesn’t just fall into your lap, good hard work sure does help.  And let’s face it even if Great Aunt Matilda leaves you a fortune in her will you still have to work at being nice and not ticking her off.  Lisa’s reference to BAM (Brains and Motivation) as an essential element for success is right in line with my value system.

Pros

• Solid advice from a passionate and experienced web master
• Free content that is well maintained
• Appropriate cross linking within the site and to external partners
• I don’t feel like I’m on a scam site :)
• Lisa is very direct in telling you which products she recommends

Cons

• Videos are great, but if they could be shortened to under 5 minutes the would be ideal.
• I found her site motivational to blog and web content owners, but to the general public this site might appear like a scam
• A lot of good content is found in the comments and I wish there was a rating system for comments to help filter out the *junk*.
