WHY
should I start selling? |
|
|
|
| Today
the web hosting market is the fastest growing Internet
sector in the world! Web hosting revenue will reach tens
of billions of dollars this decade alone. Why? Simply
because, nowadays, everybody could use a website! According
to the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers
(ICANN), within the next 10 years, it is predicted that
everyone in the world who wishes to have Internet access,
will. How big is the market for web hosting then? Billions
of people! Why can’t you own a piece of the internet YOUR
SELF! |
| |
|
WHO
should I sell websites or web hosting to? |
|
|
|
| Start small, grow big! Start by selling websites and of course the home for the website itself (a web hosting account) to people YOU KNOW! If there is someone who could explain it better on what a website can do, it would be the person they trust. People they know, not corporations! Start selling to your friends, family members, community members, existing clients or customers, and so on! When you get the hang of it, you are ready to start selling to a broader market! We will guide you all through the way! |
| |
|
|
You will be selling a ONE STOP SOLUTION package to your
end customers! You will be able to sell domain names,
the website itself (website design or pre-design websites
templates), the web hosting account (the home for the
website to reside on), email accounts, e-commerce package
(for your customer to start selling online), and lastly
the web marketing package for your customer to get visitors.
The BEST thing is you will be selling all these goodies
under YOUR OWN BRAND! With YOUR OWN PLANS WITH YOUR OWN
PRICES! |
