Potential Pitfalls Starting Your Own Web Hosting Business

Many years ago after being taken by an income oppor-tunity scheme, I decided I wanted to spend my time helping people start their own honest business. I have found there are a lot of people just waiting for someone to "give them a chance."

If you are interested in building your own ISP home business, this is your "chance."

Whether you need to start with no money out of your pocket, if you want to have your own dial up company with floppy disks to hand out, or if you are ready to sign a contract and get us working hard to help you get going, we got you covered.

If you are willing to go talk to some local businesses either over the telephone or in person I know you can get webhosting clients. It seems every week one of my ISPs logs in to tell me how they are building their own business and that what I have taught them to do is helping them to get clients.

It's not a big secret on how we get the clients. It just requires that you actually start talking to prospects. If you don't already know how to do that my video tapes and audio CDS will help you learn fast! You can also read how to do it in our forum and by reading the many letters on this website such as the Principals letters, Power Script, and other letters I have posted and will continue to post.

I want to make sure you understand that I am not promising you some revealing secret that when you pay us money will be given to you and will change your world.

The secret is simple and clear: To get clients you are going to need to talk to local businesses either over the telephone or person to person.

The facts that we have superb hosting on an OC192 connection with the MOST ADVANCED control panel and free software installs will help you sell the services. This sets us apart, no one else can offer all of that.



HERE IS WHY I CAN CLAIM THE THINGS I AM SAYING



Now you may be asking who is this guy? Why does he think he can help me?

I will tell you why. In my life I have helped over 3,000 people make a living or a good part time income, by showing them simple systems and then motivating them to continue.

I do this business full time. It is not a part time venture. You will find this out fast when you start to work with me.

Do you know anyone else this committed to helping you succeed?

I want to spend time on cruise ships getting to know all of you, and I can't do that until you are successful.

So who am I?

I am someone that in 1981 started with $17.00 in pop bottles to buy a mop bucket in a small town of 13,000 people in Sheridan, Wyoming. Within 3 years and an oversaturated market, I built a cleaning business employing 17 janitors and 2 residential carpet cleaners.

I am someone that built a telemarketing company from nothing in 1987 to a ten million dollar per year business and retired from it in 1994.

I am someone who started P.E.E.L. Inc. in 1992, and within 2 years was shipping a semi-truckload of products every month all over the united states.

I am someone who believed in the internet and shut down all non-internet operations in 1995 and jumped in full body in the murky waters of this new frontier.

I am someone that developed simple stories at Tims Home Town Stories from nothing to a readership of 100,000 people.

I am someone who built MyShoppingPlace.com from nothing to a online mall with 1100 merchants.

I am someone who built ProfitBanners.com from nothing to 50,000 participating websites and ten million views per month.

I am someone who now has a readership of over 1.5 million people for my stories at http://how-to-be-an-entrepreneur.com

If I tell you I can help you find a handful of clients to make your business successful, I am someone that can. Of course, you have to do as I tell you to do, which will involve either calling local businesses on the telephone or going to see them in person.



Here is what I say to unlimited domains

Quite often I get the question, "Why don't I offer unlimited domains like other resellers or maybe 100 domains for $50 per month." I would like to respond to that with the following reasoning:

I offer the lowest prices possible that still allow us to keep quality service and technicians that keep a 99.99% up time on our servers and enough profit to keep us in business and creating new opportunities and technology for you to help make this the best business opportunity available.

I would like to point out that I am not selling a business opportunity. I am selling you the servers, a customizable website for your ISP business, and guaranteed prices on your server space so you can count on profits. The

information on this website is teaching you how to build your own business, as is the information we provide free on our forum and in the regular emails I will send you. But that information is free because I know if I can help you build your own business that you will purchase more and more server space and we will both make more money.

A person/company offering unlimited domains to resell for $50 to $100 per month is paying for servers, they are not free. Just how many domains do you think they can load on a server before they have to add a second server? We know from actual use from the dozens of servers we have filled up that it is not real smart to put more than 200 to 300 average clients on a server or your down time increases and your servers slow down causing very unhappy clients.

I doubt that people/companies offering you unlimited domains for resell pays less than $300.00 per month for a server. Just how many resellers do you think they can put on that server and then allow them each to have unlimited accounts? What if every reseller sold 100 domains and the reseller was being charged $50 per month? The company would have to put 7 or more resellers on that server to make a profit. If they did that the server would have 700 accounts and that server would have constant down time and problems and slow downs.

On top of that if the server had 700 accounts sold on it chances are it would be using up 400 gigs of bandwidth. More than likely the person/company is paying $3 or more per gig for bandwidth, which would be equal to $1,200.00 per month just for bandwidth. So you can see they really could not make money with 7 resellers on that server, unless of course the resellers were not actually getting any clients, or at least very very few clients.

Is any of this making sense to you?

Here is what is happening behind the scenes with persons/companies offering reseller accounts with unlimited domains:

1. They are counting on you only getting a few clients and that you will never actually get 100 clients or more. This way they can put 100 resellers on a server, charge them all $50.00 to $100.00 per month, and make $5,000.00 to $10,000.00 per server.

2. They may have some hidden clause about ridiculous bandwidth charges and you will get a very unpleasant surprise with your monthly bills.

3. They may figure that only 1 out of 10 resellers will actually get a lot of clients and they can make enough profit off the other 9 to pay for that 1.

4. They may figure that when they get a reseller doing very well, they will insist they have to pay more or they will get rid of them for some made up reason such as "spam" or "unapproved use" and just keep the resellers that are inactive or show little action.



I on the other hand work hard to help you get clients. We count on you getting a lot of clients. Because of this I can only offer you prices on real numbers and assume you will actually get all the clients that we offer you to resell.

The mere fact that we want you to succeed kills our ability to tell you that you can have unlimited accounts for reselling. Doesn't that make sense?

I offer a contract that will guarantee your prices for 4 years and with a renewable clause to allow that for many more years to come. This is a written contract. Do the other resellers offering unlimited domains offer this?

If you do not want a written contract we offer web hosting reseller space without it also.

I offer a free trouble ticket system that not only provides an easy way for you to support your clients, but puts over 10 technicians available to help you in a jam at your service with the click of the escalate button. Will the reseller program offering unlimited domains offer this for your home business?

I offer 1 hour free level 1 tech support every month. Do the other resellers offer this?

I and some of my support staff spends tons of time every week and usually every day in the voice chat room for moral support and answering general questions and providing "how to" sales tips. Are the other resellers doing this for you?

I offer a free listing for your ISP business on our website at http://find-local-isp.com but I know the other resellers do not as we only allow our contracted ISPs on that domain.

We build you a custom website to help you get clients for your ISP business. As a matter of fact we have completed the next upgrade which is a website that allows you to make changes to your ISP website at anytime with your admin panel without any knowledge of HTML. Do the other resellers offer that?

We even offer a Automatic HTML Template builder that allows you to build a 3 or 15 page HTML website for your clients using your admin panel. You simply pick out a template you like, then you pick colors, type in the company info and information for your client, and it is built instantly. No need of HTML knowledge. Are the other resellers doing this for you?

We will even allow you 5 different ISP websites instead of just 1 at no extra cost. This way you can offer webhosting to different markets. Perhaps you want to target churches. If that is the case you may like an entire website devoted only to offering webhosting to churches.

And then perhaps you would like to build another site that

targets only the restaurant and entertainment industries. You see I think about these things all the time, as I am a lifelong salesperson.

If our ISPs decides they want more than 5 of these custom ISP websites perhaps to set up their own resellers, you can get as many as you like for an additional $3 per month each. You will find I always try to provide what my ISPs want. Will the other reseller companies do this for you?

I send you a "seminar in a box" that includes a 2 hour and 40 minute video tape of me explaining how our tools work complete with screen shots, and how to actually get started finding clients for your ISP business. We ship this before we require a contact so you can see how honest we are and exactly what you are agreeing to before you begin. The seminar includes a manual for you to follow along with the video tape, a 60 minute audio CD on what our ISP business concept is, another on how to go out and start getting clients, and another 2 CD 2 hour set of "Tims Home Town Stories, the motivational series" to help inspire you to get your business moving. Do the other resellers do this for you?

We offer a very advanced and simple easy to use browser based control panel for installing all of your clients instantly. Your clients can add their own email addresses, subdomains, ftp accounts and much much more. You can even brand this control panel yourself with only YOUR business name. Your client will only see your business, not the name of other control panels, such as "Plesk" or "Cpanel". Do the other resellers do this for you?

We offer you and your clients 21 second FREE installs of very popular FREE software programs such as forums, ecommerce websites, affiliate software, calenders, and much more. Currently there are 25 programs but there will be many more over time. Do any of the other resellers offer this for you?

We have set up http://freelance-workers.com to help you sell your HTML, CGI, PHP, or any other services. If you need to purchase these types of services for your clients this site helps you find people to do that for you. This site will be promoted to my 1.5 million readers of how-to-be-an-entrepreneur.com so that the opportunity will be great. My contracted and qualified ISPs get special graphics that let everyone know you are reliable, and all services on our part are free. Do other companies/persons that offer reseller programs do this for you?

We have put together a forum at http://internet-marketing-forum.com that is now one of the most popular internet marketing forums on the internet. There is a section for all of my ISPs to talk and help each other out. This forum is unmoderated for maximum benefit to you. In here you not only can be part of our ISP community, you can actually find new clients as most participants are internet marketers and usually in need of hosting. How may other reseller programs would allow all their members to get together in one spot without moderation and talk about their reseller program?? Dare I say none?

As a matter of fact, how many other companies seem to be commited as their main purpose to helping you build your own ISP business opportunity? How many keep coming up with more and more opportunities, tools, and support for you, never standing still?

P.S. I devote almost all my time helping all my new ISP friends learn how to build their business.
