An affiliate for the larger companies such as GoDaddy has access to coupons and coupon codes that they share with you. It doesn’t cost you any more money but they get a commission for referring you.

Usually the ones that get in first are the people who make the most money. So if you heard about it on some blog or a banner ad so hasn’t everyone else in the world. The people who are a year or so ahead of everyone with the next great thing are the ones who profit.

Nice post. I wish I read it last month when I considered becoming a reseller too. I researched the idea for 3 days and then decided not to go with it because the only way to succeed in this business is to invest heavily in advertising.

MichealR I currently have all my domains transferred to a small registrar. They are usually better at providing technical support and I like the interface of their tools. One of the web hosting companies I have an account with is a small company too. Yet they were among the first to provide .NET 3.5 and they have developed their own web hosting application that I found to be much more intuitive than Plesk or cPanel.

MichaelR makes a valid point. Domains can be had pretty cheaply from even the giant registrars. Why should I deal with a small scale reseller when I can just go to Namecheap or Godaddy or wherever. I really don’t see the incentive.

Question, why someone like me will buy from someone like you and not from big names like Go Daddy? What will make consumers buy from a reseller?

I’m not really sure what you mean with reseller. Do you mean a person who people can register their domains through or do you mean a person with a lot of domains? When it comes to registering domains for others I used to do this for free for some of my friends. I made 10% as a affiliate and it didn’t cost them a dime.
