Free Traffic System

Free Traffic System
I thought I had thought long and hard about opening a hosting re-seller account. In the end I put my doubts to one side and just went for it. Little did I know.

I have years of experience in IT support so I thought I was exactly the right man for the job. Re-seller hosting is a different animal. Look closer "sell hosting" all your technical experience doesn't count for anything if you have no customers to support.

One year down the line and only now are the customers coming in, slowly, but no amount of research would have told me this. I worked on the principle of stacking it high and selling it cheap. Unlimited hosting £10 per year.
Couldn't fail. It's not until you stick your toe in the water that you find out how cold it is. My account has been paid for by my existing customers but I've made no money. It's the time that you have to put into it. Chasing customers along with hundreds of other hosting sites, tweaking the site for maximum impact, tweaking ads for maximum impact, paying for clicks that bounce!!!

I had 300 site visits before I sold any hosting, I've got that down to 100 now, adwords want £1.50 a click, do the math. (No I didn't spend £450 even I worked that one out) I had to come up with another way of finding customers. I did, but it involves sitting at the PC for two weeks and selling 1 hosting package. (but I saved my £1.50). So still riding my selling learning curve I need back links lots of them in a short amount of time.

Support query, still waiting for my first, I thought it you be my support expertise that would be the corner stone to my success in the re-seller hosting business. Not a bit it's my pig headed stubbornness. So my advice to anyone thinking about joining the re-selling hosting game is to think long and hard about it.
