How To Make Money Online - 2nd Post

In the last making money online post, we talked about very basic method to earn some quick small bucks off the Internet forums but it may not be as attractive to my Earning $180 In 2 hours eBook Nevertheless, I will touch on a more advanced method to profit from the Internet- Becoming a Passive Web Hosting Manager.

Why I call it passive? The reason is because most people will find it difficult just to sell web hosting packages in today’s competitive Web Hosting market. Unless you can offer a very low price and outstanding support (great availability etc), else, it is just throwing money to the bigger players. Therefore, doing this passively is good alternative.

This Passive Web Hosting Manager can host personal websites in the same account as his/her customers. There are many web host companies that allow the people to sign up as resellers and allocate hosting accounts to other people, one great company is HostGator. One great advantage of this is that you can still use this account for your normal websites and at the same time, sell parts of your server (allocated resources) to the others.

How much can I earn by becoming Web Hosting Manager?

Unlimited Really, it depends on your sales pitch and how you package your offer to your potential customers. Let’s take the Aluminum Resellers Plan from HostGator for example, this plan costs only $24.95 monthly and it gives you 12 GB Disk space and 125 GB Bandwidth. By introducing a small package of 1,000 MB disk space (most websites do not need this much of space) and 5 GB bandwidth selling at $5, 5 such packages will pay off your web hosting charges already Not to mention you can even customize the packages to suit different customers and create a bigger margin.

Easier said than done…where can I get the customers?

If you have been selling web hosting plans, you will know that the toughest part is not the attractiveness of your package.. It is the creditability and how you go out and tell people about your services. This is where I suggest creative selling When combined with other opportunities, this is a very profitable business. For example, still remember how I sell a brand new site for more than $200? This is where you can sell this package together with your newly site to the customers

In summary, selling web hosting packages alone will not get you rich but utilizing this as a passive channel will definitely make your online income more stable (as payment recurs per month).
