Do SafeLists Actually Work?

Wow, it's been a while since my last post.

First off, if you don't know what a safelist is I'll give you a quick run-down.
A safelist is simply an e-mail list that you've subscribed to, when you subscribe to a safelist you get to post messages to it and you in turn receive messages from other members doing the same thing!

Then I had a thought...
What if Safelists are a big load of crap that do nothing but waste your time and money? Think about it. You've subscribed (OR in my case - PAID MONEY!) to be able to send your ad/message/e-mail whatever to a big list of people, who've also agreed to receive/send their message out. Is anyone actually reading your e-mails? PROBABLY NOT. All they care about is sending out their message!

So far I haven't made a CENT! If someone out there has actually made money using a safelist then let me know! Otherwise I advise to steer clear of the whole mess altogether.

That's all folks!

Make Money With ReSeller Hosting - A Guide To ReSelling Webspace for Money

Mornin' Guys & Gals

Today I'm going to talk about ReSeller Hosting and how you can make some money with it!
If you don't know anything about hosting, or domains I'll give you a quick run-down but forgive me for not going into detail cause this could take pages and pages to explain everything! IF you have further questions just e-mail me HERE

On with the guide!

What's a Domain?
A Domain is simply a www address like "www.mywebsite.com" or "www.coolsites.com"
You can register a domain through a company like namecheap.com for $8 USD/year - CHEAP!

So now you have "www.mywebsite.com" Now What? That's where Hosting comes in -
Hosting is the space on the internet where you store your website (or websites) files!

NOW... Instead of renting out space from some company and never seeing a dime back (LIKE RENTING A HOUSE) Wouldn't it be better to OWN the house and rent out your space to others and make money? YES!!

That brings me to ReSeller Hosting!
Two of the best ways to make money with ReSeller hosting are...

1. Become an affiliate and promote the hosting company - You don't have to buy anything from them, you just sign up and earn a commission for anyone that orders a hosting package through you - you're basically a virtual salesman for the hosting company, there are a lot of companies out there but I suggest HostGator - their plans are very inexpensive and their servers are fast!

2. (The Better Way) Become a ReSeller!
ReSelling is exactly that, you order a server package (for this example I'll use HostGator again) and resell your webspace to others - basically you become your own hosting company! You don't have to tell your customers that you actually rent server-space from HostGator unless you want to, and the nice thing about HostGator is they WANT YOU TO DO THIS - it makes them money, and ofcourse it makes you money too - they say it right on their webpage.

Ok so here's a step-by-step guide:
Step 1 - Rent Cheap Server Space to ReSell. Sign up for a package at HostGator
Lets say you purchase the Aluminum (cheapest) package for 24.95/Month
They give you 12gigs of space, and 125gigs of bandwidth per month.
THAT'S A LOT OF Space you can rent out to other people for profit!

Step 2 - Sell the Space!. After you've purchased a package you get an awesome thing called a "Web Host Manager" That resides on your newly purchased server! eg:
"www.mycomain.com/whm" This is where you add domains and
allocate how much space each one gets - you can create custom "Packages" that have different amounts of space, like 25 Megs, 50 Megs or even 1gig - that you can sell for whatever you want.
Take it for a test-drive here:
WHM (reseller control panel to create cPanels) Login info: demo / demo
cPanel (your customer's control panel) Login info: demo / demo

That's basically it! You get yourself a server and resell the space to others,
You could sell 50 Packages for a $2/Month - making you $100 and it only cost you $24!

You get an automated system too
All of their reseller plans come with a free billing manager by WHM AutoPilot, free hosting templates, and a free eNom domain reseller account. Combined with a free PayPal Account this provides you with a completed web site that allows visitors to signup from your website, pay you instantly, and automatically have their account created within minutes.
