Are you the guy that is always turned to when it comes to helping your friends get a Web site up and going?

If the answer is yes, then you might be missing out on a good deal that not too many people outside of the Web hosting industry know about. You could set yourself up a reseller hosting account and charge your friends whatever you want for doing their hosting with you. You could be your own little Web host.

+ How much money will I make?

Consider this, each Web site you buy from the Web host costs $5 a month to you. If you go back and charge your friend $7 for the service, then you are already making $2 a month profit. That is an extra $24 in your pocket after a year for doing what you would probably already be doing for free.

Now let us add in a few more friends, lets say you are hosting ten different Web sites for ten different plans. You charge each friend $7 a month and you are looking at a profit of $240 after one year.

You are already making that kind of cash and you only bumped the price up $2! Just think what the numbers would look like if you charge your buddies $10 or $20 a month for hosting plus your “costs” of keeping their Web sites up, running, and looking nice.

+ How do I get started making money?

Just about every Web host out there has a reseller Web hosting package for you to pick. For a good place to search for Web hosting in general – I would recommend checking out FindMyHosting.com. You might also ask around at places like WebHostingChat.com and see which places get you the best deals.
