Selling & Reselling for Anyone
Even though this topic might sound complicated, it actually is alot easier. This is an easy way to actually resell several types of produtcs without even owning a website.
What is Reselling on Internet?
It means that you can produtcs such as domain names, e-books, laptops etc. getting a comission from every sale. It doesn't require any coding skills, just some marketing knowledge, which you can get from here. You usually 'just' have to promote the product and its benefits compared to others.
Reselling Domain Names and Web Services
When you want to become a domain name reseller, you pay a small annual amount to start up the business. You get an own website and usually some templates and designs to get the everything running.
Now you may start marketing and promoting your website as any website out there. When a customer orders a domain name you don't usually have to do anything, the 'master server' handles everything from credit card processing to customer support.
Reselling E-Books and Other Products
Usually found from popular affiliate websites like Commission Junction or ClickBank, you can add their link to your website and start promoting it with freebies or just mighty words. Of course if you know a nice product you may find it other ways.
Why Should You Become a Reseller?
There are a couple reasons I can make, it's up to you if you can make some more!
1) Ugly website addresses
Let's think of those communities, like YouTube or MySpace. You may be familiar with the addresses of the videos or user names in there. Usually it is something like http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=myusername or http://www.myspace.com/username. Free domain and forum hosting users have also very, very ugly and hard-to-remember domain names!
Think if your page on a community was http://www.privchan.com instead of the long one. Some people could pay a little for that kind of convenience and perhaps to get more noticed with his unusual way to get to the user page.
The explanation how actually to do this is coming right below, keep reading!
Another thing that promoting other products doesn't have to stop to text. You can create videos and in the end put your website's link where all the freebies, prices and other details are explained.
2) Because of free domain, webhosting and especially forums webmasters.
Those mentioned usually have an ugly looking address. Usually they look something like this: http://www.freedomainhosting.com/mywebsite or http://www.freeforumsnow.com/mycommunity
Now then, those with otherwise free services can be ready to pay some bucks to make their addresses look even a little bit better. This is something gaming and hobby forums or temporary pages would like but they are not aware of this kind of option.
3) Commissions can really pile up very well
How is it Possible to 'Change' Address?
For those pondering how to turn any address like http://www.freeforumsnow.com/mycommunity to http://www.mycommunity.com is very easy. It's about 'address forwarding' and 'address masking'.
1) Address Forwarding: In all its simplicity it means that when you enter an address that happens to be forwarded, it takes you to the actual website with its original address.
For example you type the forwarded address http://www.mycommunity.com. This will forward you to the page http://www.freeforumsnow.com/mycommunity.
2) Address Masking: This is almost same as address forwarding but in this case the original address is never shown.
For an instance if you type the masked address http://www.mycommunity.com, it takes you to http://www.freeforumsnow.com/mycommunity BUT it will show only the address you originally typed, http://www.mycommunity.com.
Success Depends on Marketing
As many examples on this website, the success of a web venture is based on marketing. You have the ready-to-use business: website, support, customer transactions etc. Only thing to do is marketing and that is left to you.
If you were going for domain names for community members, the best place to promote your website is to spread your affiliate links around the communities.
Show examples, videos and brief overviews on how to shorten the address. Give viewers the feeling that this thing is very easy thing to do, just as it is!
