Hello Warriors, Daniel Brock here. I'm a 23 year old full time internet marketer and web host. For the first time I am exposing the exact same methods I used to sell $605,908 of web hosting on complete auto-pilot through a web hosting company I started at the age of 16. A lot of people claim they have a true auto-pilot system, but none any of them can stand up to this. How about 60 hours of work over the past 5 years - is that auto-pilot enough for you? Click Here To Find Out More Information [Sales letter loaded with info] The Internet Marketer's Secret Weapon. It's amazing to me how many internet marketers don't understand the power of running a web hosting company in conjunction with their internet marketing business.
Find Out All The Info You Need Here Special Offer For Warriors ONLY I love the Warrior Forum so much that I have made a ridiculous offer for all of my friends on the WF. I normally sell my course for $47. For warriors the price is only $24.99 Yes! $24.99 for my entire course! I Am Pulling This Offer After Testing This is a limited time offer - No BS. After I get my conversions down, I am pulling this offer so that I can begin setting up an official launch. I expect that this offer won't be around for long, so get it before you have to wait months until the official launch. Thanks! And feel free to ask questions or leave comments. |

Hello, Daniel! To me your WSO sounds quite complicated but interesting and certainly standing out of the croud. Please answer a few questions: - what are the start-up costs ? Do we need to buy our own server? - what is the time frame from the start to getting first clients? - Is there a lot of paperwork in running this business? Will we need to hire a full time accountant or other employees? - How profitable is it? It seems hosting is quite cheap nowadays....Even if you get 100 paying clients your revenue still might be under $1000 a month, right? Thanks, Sergei. |

It does seem a bit complicated, but it is actually a lot more simpler than you think. They have control panels out now that basically do everything for you. - Start up costs are very minimal. Besides for a reseller hosting plan(which I give you for free to get started), the only other expense would be a domain name and a hosting template(I even provide those for a very discounted price). -It all depends on what you are doing. Realistically you should get clients within your first month of business if you follow what I outline. -You will need an accountant just like do any business that produces a lot of volume. You can also outsource your support so that you don't have to deal with the employees. Basically they will do all your support/administration work for you. -That is why I recommend not to go after that cheap $3/m hosting market. There are other higher paying markets that pay between $10-$50/m for services. | |

| I have been able to reduce my expense down to 30% during some years, some years it would be more around 40% when I was trying different pricing structures. There is definitely room for improvement. Some web hosts can even run at 25% expense if they have a hold in the local market. Servers are way more powerful these days so you can cram a lot more people on it than you could back in the day. |

What about hosting support ? We need to invest in that also, to outsource it, or maybe some reseller packs have it included ? |

They cost a little bit more, but also a one stop shop to handle all your customer support questions/tickets. Definitely something to look into if you don't have much time to spend on your hosting business. I provide links to companies who will do this for you in my course. Regards, Daniel | |

Sounds like a great concept, and this is a service that just about every person on the internet needs. However, how likely are they to sign up for a brand new service like ours especially when we're charging in the higher range ($10+ per month), which is comparable to all the big boys like hostgator, bluehost, godaddy, etc? What would we be doing or offering that would set us apart from the established names in the industry? Also, what would our monthly costs be? Would we be initially using a reseller account that typically goes for $15-$20 per month? What are the limits on bandwidth usage with a typical reseller account, and do we upgrade as needed when we have a certain number of customers exceeding the bandwidth threshold for the basic reseller account? Also, with regards to outsourcing, I'm assuming that customer support is not included in the basic $15-$20 reseller package, right? How much would it cost for us to outsource this? Thanks, Paul |

any testimonials yet? Daniel, I do have a reseller hosting account but the only problem I've got is bringing new customers since many big names are advertising all over the place with crushing hosting prices, so these kind of competitors are hard to beat. Will your report help me get new customers? |

Good questions! These are ones that I have seen pretty much every year, and the answer still remains the same. 1) Not everyone likes HostGator, Godaddy, BlueHost. While HG has the best reputation out of the three, A lot of people have already gone through the GD and BH phase, and know that they aren't the best hosts out there. Sure they offer some really sweet pricing, but what they don't offer is top quality web hosting - and a lot of people know that. So that is one market you can try to tackle - the high quality/great support market. And yes, you CAN provide that, even as a reseller. 2) Not everyone is exposed to their advertisements, and not everyone will see their advertisements when they are ready to buy. You will be at the right place at the right time - this is something I cover in my course. 3) Your local market is easy pickings. 4) You can offer your services as upsells for other products or services you have. If you have a web design business, chances are people need web hosting. If you build blogs for people, chances are they need web hosting. If you have make money online courses, chances are people need web hosting! 5) You carve out a space for yourself. Once you start to get a good base of customers, word of mouth starts to take over and you will continuously get new clients every month. I haven't advertised my hosting service in close to 5 years yet I still get anywhere between 5-20 new customers each month. My goal with my business was to turn it completely automated, so if you REALLY wanted to make a go at it and spend effort advertising each and every day, 20/customers a month is nothing. But you have to start out in the beginning one customer at a time. Treat those customers like gold, build a relationship with them like you do in any business, and they will jump through hoops to help you out. I have had 2 clients that I have hosted that have referred to me over 100 new customers each. They like my service, I give them good deals, in turn they feel like they should help me out. 6) Small businesses will pay a CRAP LOAD of money to you if you provide them an all in one solution. For instance, along with your hosting service, you offer to design a website for them(grab a cheap $50 template, customize it for them, make them pay you for it + whatever you want to charge as profit), offer to update their website for them xx number of times per month for an additional service fee, THEN add in some SEO work, etc. You're looking at an easy $200/m you can charge for something like that and have plenty of people who will gladly pay for it. This works especially well in the local market. This type of thing isn't for everyone, but there is a huge market for it. As for the reseller plan questions: A typical plan is between $15-$25/m. I offer a reseller plan as an upsell to my course for $19.99/m with your first 30 days free so that you can start making money before you have to pay for the plan out of pocket. You upgrade as needed. You would be surprised though as to how many customers you can fit on a small reseller plan. Reason is because 99% of the people you will host will never use more than 1GB of disk space and 10Gb of bandwidth per month. Heck I'm a full time marketer with over 50+ websites and not one of them has ever used more than that. So think about how much the average user or business with use - hardly anything. As far as providing support is concerned, you have plenty of options: 1) There are reseller providers who also provide tech support for you for an additional fee per month. I list a couple providers who do this in my course. This is a good option for those looking to start a hosting business and don't want to deal with providing support. 2) You can outsource it later on. You would be surprised as to how cheap this can be. Some services offer support at rates under $1 per ticket. 3) You can do it yourself - 90% of your support requests will be on simple little things that if the customer actually spent 10 minutes fooling around with, they would know what to do. I have found that per 100 customers you are looking at 1-2 support tickets per day. So you are looking at an expense of $30-$60/month per 100 customers if you outsource. Again, most of the support requests are easy questions you can do by yourself if you are looking to save money. Phew....long post. Hope that clears things up! |

Hello everyone, Sorry that I haven't replied to your posts in a timely manor - my apologies for that. I have decided to stop this WSO for the time being. I want to totally revamp the system including adding tons of video training and free resources like templates, legal documents etc. Keep an eye out for my re-post in the future. Thanks! Daniel |
