Hi Debo, Max, and everyone else here!
Debo you've asked some really good questions. There are folks in cyberland who say that "unlimited sites" using hosting reseller packages, mini-sites, squeeze pages etc. are the way to go.
I disagree.
So, in fact, do the majority of the successful SBIers.
Main issue - how do you drive traffic to all the unlimited sites you're creating?
Another main issue - what do you put on the sites? (Folks will recognize a high quality site that offers value to them).
Why have a goal of "unlimited" when you can have a smaller number of really really good, high quality sites (1, 2, 3?) that offer tens or hundreds (or even thousands) of excellent pages to a nichey, loyal fan-base (your readers)!
SBI is only $299 per year. It is an annual subscription to a powerful membership network with a very cool forum with unlimited
support, access to all of the best market and niche research tools around, access to learning from some of the best content-site creators in Cyberville - and you'll be building a business that allows you to focus on the business, rather than working with coding and other distractions that can take away from your money making time (creating good content for your site).
Each page of your site is a piece of real estate. During this time (at least in the US) in which we're entering a downturn in the real estate market, virtual real estate (web sites!) is a powerful way to access a niche market and to capitalize on the investment of the new age: information, ideas.
