Idea #8: Reselling Hosting to Generate Revenue Online
My company resells services through GoDaddy.com, one of the biggest and most well-known domain registrars. We sell all the same products they do and we brand our packages using our own logo and link http://www.10khosting.com.
When we initially started out, I was hesitant because I didn’t know enough about affiliate marketing. Since then, however, we’ve truly seen the benefit of working with a larger, more established business and making a small profit off each signup.
We started out with very small sales, simply registering domain names and purchasing monthly hosting for clients but now we’re seeing incremental income that comes with renewals, hosting, and the ability to maintain clients for months and years at a time.
When you sign up as a reseller, you pay a basic fee and you may attach your own domain name (myspecialhosting.com) to that reseller package. You then set your net profit per item, e.g. domain names, domain transfers, hosting package A, hosting package B, etc. You also sign up for automatic deposits into your bank account.
When someone comes to your branded site to purchase a domain or hosting, they have a very simple application form. The signup process is super easy and allows your clients to assign their own username and password. There is even a support line number so you don’t have to take technical support calls.
The basic reseller package is $99/year and includes:
1) No deposits, advances or revenue sharing
2) Your storefront can be live in minutes
3) 24/7 product support for your customers
4) Automated billing & renewals for over 50 products
5) Turnkey Web site, including cart and credit card processing
6) Marketing tools like Marketing Email Service, Advertising Tracking, and Email & Press Release templates
7) Free Software & Extras helps you run your business
8) Google® AdWords®* and Microsoft® adCenter† credits help you draw traffic to your site.
There is also an affiliate program available, which is free to sign up with and allows you to sell GoDaddy.com products directly, with a small commission on each product sold.
