So, You Wanna Be A Super Affiliate? A Look at Marketing the Web
Host Resell Niche...
In the past several years website hosting has absolutely
exploded! With more companies jumping into this business and
finding the huge benefits available, the demand for web hosting
has never been higher. This seems to be the trend of today.
Did you know that 38 million people have put up their very first
website online in 2005 alone. And to think, most of these sites
will be offering different affiliate programs or resell rights
ebooks for people to choose and participate into.
This only means one thing. It is easier now than ever to find
the right web host for your application. This is a great
opportunity for web hosting affiliates and resellers alike.
There are hundreds of web hosting companies and programs to
choose from that the difficulty in finding the right one for you
shouldn't be a problem anymore. The possibility of quality web
hosting companies separating themselves from the rest of the
industry is anticipated. If this is done, the unprofessional and
incompetent ones will suffer.
Support will be the number one consideration for people when
choosing a web host. Most people would rather opt for the web
host based on things that they see and hear. Also based on the
recommendations by those who have tried them and have proved to
be a successful.
The question is how does one become a successful affiliate in
the niche markets using web hosting?
If you think about it, all website owners need a company to host
their sites for them. As of now, there is really no leading
hosting industry so most people choose hosts based from
recommendations. Usually, they get it from the people they know
that have already chosen a web hosting service they are happy
with.
With the many different web hosts offering affiliate and resell
programs, you should be able to find one that will work best for
you. Think of the product you will be promoting. Promote your
people from your sites to the hosting site and see how well the
your subscribers and traffic convert to paying customers.
When you have been with one web host for quite some time and
it's not converting your traffic very well, simply try another
one! There is no use in trying to stick to one when you would be
better off in another one.
Try this out. If you are quite happy and satisfied with your web
host, try to see if they are offering an affiliate program you
can participate in. Instead of you paying them, why not make it
the other way around; them paying you. The process can be as
easy as putting a small "powered by" or "hosted by" aff. link at
the bottom of your niche page and you are already in an
affiliate business.
Why pay for your web hosting when you do not have to? Try to get
paid by letting people know you like your web host.
Always remember that when choosing a web host, choose the one
that is known for its fantastic customer support. Make sure they
have a 1-800 number and try calling it in the middle of the
night and see if your greeted happily. Remember - your site
needs to be up in the middle of the night too so the other side
of earth can browse your products and services when your
sleeping. There are also many hosting affiliate or resell
programs.
Residual affiliate and resell solutions really rock! This is the
where you get paid a percentage every month for a client that
you refer. This can allow you to have a steady source of income.
With perseverance, you can even be quite successful in this
field.
There are a lot of niche markets that offer resell rights and
are just waiting for the right affiliate to promote them.
Web hosting is just one affiliate market you could try out for
some good continuous income. Just remember that to be successful
in your endeavor also means that time, effort and patience will
be needed.
