Hey Bruce
You're spot on. I still have my SBI membership with World of Lucid Dreaming, and this gives me 25 free Wordtracker searches, and I had plenty left, so I used that for Improve Vision Naturally.

For me, the first main benefit of SBI is in the education and the step-by-step processes laid out. Having created World of Lucid Dreaming just a few months earlier, I already knew the steps to success. It was just a case of replicating the same principles of pre-selling, online marketing, traffic building, etc, etc. I didn't need to buy another subscription for that.
The second major benefit of SBI is the outsourcing of technical processes. I made World of Lucid Dreaming on my own, as a techno-dummy, and was immensely proud of it. That was when I began to realize that my future was in online business, so I called in the cavalry. My partner Peter is a web designer and developer (people find this ironic but he always had his own business to run - SBI was always MY baby
) so for site #2 it was time to get him involved.
We put our heads together and I shared the SBI secrets with him and he shared some of his tech-savvy with me. I learned how to use the HTML editor DreamWeaver properly so I could build all my pages in it from scratch. Then he purchased the domain and put it with his web host - dont even ask me what its called, I have no clue!
The result was, I was able to create an SBI-principled website (I wouldn't do it any other way) while Peter did the design, HTML, FTP and all the technical stuff that SBI would normally take care of. Handy eh!! This was a unique solution for me - I understand not everyone lives with their own personal web developer. If it weren't for Peter I would definitely have used SBI for Improve Vision Naturally.
So my advice to you is get SBI for the education. There are still tech-savvy people who use SBI, and they take advantage of all the advanced functions (like uploading your own HTML pages). While the back end is simplified for beginners, it's not as dummy as people make out, it just caters for dummies as most people dont know how to do this themselves. Yes you can transfer to another host or blog platform later if you want to, but SBI will give you such a flying start - you may never want to switch anyway!
