    Well one of the things you can do is offer free website designs and then
    have them sign up via your hostgator affiliate link. There's a coupon code
    in order for new signups to get the first month for only 1 penny - that should
    help with sealing the deal too!

      You could ask your clients who need hosting to signup with Hostgator through your affiliate link and make a one-time $100 commission
      OR
      you could sell monthly hosting to offline clients and you get to charge hosting fees every month thereafter.

      I would rather have the clients paying me every month for the hosting and have more opportunities to sell add-on services.

    Careful of this model as you will be dealing with some very "frugal" clients that you may not be able to upsell later. Think outside the box on this. Think of people besides businesses that may need webspace. Get creative with it.

    I have no agenda but to help those in the same situation. This I feel will pay the bills.

    I suggest you get a reseller account and start charging clients for hosting about 7-10 bucks a month. If you get 100 clients, that's about $700 a month, than you can sell your hosting website for 10 months profit on flippa. That's how I got my first big paycheck online.

      Getting people to sign up through hostgator offline.

      First, just saying "sign up for hosting here!" isn't going to work.

      You have to give them a reason to need hosting, so offer a free simple website.. now they need hosting, tell them to sign up through your link (which should be a .info domain redirected to your affiliate link), send you the login information so you can build the website.
