Something completely different - and much more useful - for resellers
August 30th, 2008 Posted in Interesting stuffReselling with a difference
I keep dithering about whether to offer reseller hosting packages.
I fear that offering reseller packages would have me constantly bogged down with customer queries about how this works and why that’s broken.
However, I’ve discovered an alternative … and I like it a lot!
Enter stage right ResellerClub.com
I can’t even remember how or why I found this website now, but it immediately caught my interest.
ResellerClub.com is a reseller package with some very key differences to what’s normally on offer.
The blurb says: We offer an exciting range of fast moving, high margin products, ready for you to sell.. start now!
What this amounts to is that you can re-sell the following services:
- Domain names
- Website builders, including with ecommerce
- Digital certificates
- Domain/mail forwarding
- Live chat services
- Mail and web hosting
- Sub-reseller packages
In addition, customers get a 30 day money back guarantee with many products.
What I really like about this service is a) the automation … once set up, I don’t have to lift a finger, all sales, refunds and set-ups happen instantly and automatically b) my reseller account is set up with price suggestions clearly indicating my ‘mark up’ on products, but I can easily change prices to suit myself.
When you sign up with ResellerClub.com you’re given your own customisable area - here’s mine.
If you want to you can integrate your ResellerClub.com account into your existing website using their APIs … I intend to play with this function, but haven’t worked out how to do it yet.
This really is the simplest, most sensible type of reseller account I’ve seen, and as you can see I’ve signed up and intend to give it a try.
One thing to flag up … money.
Once again, I like this system because it doesn’t cost you anything to set up.
However, you do have to credit your account with $200 when you open it.
This amount is refundable, but it’s a float you have to maintain … and the bigger the ‘float’ you keep, the better rates you get on the services that you sell.
As far as I can see, if someone buys from your website, you pay ResellerClub.com at cost price from your account, and your customer’s money goes into your account at purchase price … seems fair enough to enable instant and hassle free purchases.
It’s well worth a look if you’re considering becoming a reseller, it’s the most interesting and diverse package that I’ve come across so far.
If you’d like to find out more about becoming a reseller, you can do so here.
I intend to use this with some work I intend to do in the network marketing area, as you can see from the new grid-based website I’ve set up below.
Once I’ve worked out the APIs I should be able to integrate it much better.
