Make Money Online With Web Hosting Affiliate Program

I feel that I didn’t cover article that teaches you how to make money online for quite some times. For the past few days, I more focused on blogging tips, Alexa tips, and some latest news in blogosphere, so here is another article that shows you how to make money online with web hosting affiliate program.

As we know, there are tons of web hosting companies on the internet, almost all of them provide affiliate programs and help publisher or web hosting user to earn some money online. Usually they pay various amount for a sale, it depends on your performance, if you make more sales in a month and they will pay more, the commission range from $50 to $125 per sale. In fact, I realize that it’s difficult to get even a sale if we just place a banner at the sidebar or anywhere in your blog, you won’t even get a sale no matter how big is your banner.

In order to make money online with web hosting affiliate program, you need to refer someone to sign up the web hosting under your affiliate link. You know there are many people give benefits to the people who signs up web hosting under their affiliate links, if you don’t do that and you’re out. This is fact and you have to accept.
3 Ways To Make Money Online With Web Hosting Affiliate Program

If you want to get more sales, then you need to provide something that people needs. Here are 3 ways which you can follow to boost your web hosting affiliate program’s commission.

1) Resolve Problem / Answer Inquiry
Before someone signs up the web hosting under your affiliate link, you need to answer all the queries that raised by him. From my experience, my client asked me about how to make money blogging, so I explained and covered as much blogging information as I can. Usually I’ll talk about keyword research, general SEO tips, blogging tips, traffic generation, blog monetization and the like, I’ll try to answer all the questions that asked by my client.

Of course, I’ll recommend him a web hosting which suits his needs in term of performance and budget. After that, I suggested him to sign up the web hosting under my affiliate link, I told him that I’ll provide some free services. You need to build up good relationship with your client, as well as the trust. When you gain the trust from your client, most probably you will get a sale.

2) Give Out Free Stuff / Discount
Giving out free stuff is a very common way for people to get a sale. I believe that most of the people (almost all) do want to get the best deal when they decide to purchase something else, don’t you? It goes same to me, before I decide to purchase something, I’ll first ask for discount, free stuff or free service, if I get any one of these for free, then I’ll go for it.

So be sure you give out some free stuffs such as e-book, discount, product, online tool, and the like, or you can ask your client what he wants and you purchase and give it to him, of course the price of the thing he wants will not more than your commission, otherwise you’re wasting your time and you’re losing money as well.

3) Provide Free Services
This way would be quite effective and useful. If your client doesn’t know anything and he wants to create a blog, then you can help him to setup a wordpress blog and teach him how to start posting, changing a new wordpress theme, doing some SEO works and etc, the only requirement your client needs to do is, signing up the web hosting under your affiliate link. You need to tell him you’ll provide free services for a period (says 30 days) after signing up the web hosting under your affiliate link, I’m sure he will like this offer.

I signed up the affiliate program from 2 web hosting companies, they were Hostgator and Web Hosting Pad. The reason I chose this 2 web hosting company was because they are reliable, so I recommend it to my clients and friends. I’ll only recommend one of them depends on what my client needs.

Hostgator : I recommend Hostgator to my client if he has enough budget ($7.95 per month for 3 years plan) and needs the most reliable web hosting as I’ve experienced it and I like the performance.

Web Hosting Pad : I recommend Web Hosting Pad to my client if he has limited budget ($1.99 per month for 3 years plan), some of my clients used it and they didn’t face any problem yet in term of performance.

I’ve made 4 sales, 2 sales from Hostgator and 2 sales from Web Hosting Pad. Hostgator pays $50 per sale and Web Hosting Pad pays $75 per sale, so in total I made $250 from 4 sales. I’ll be repeating the same strategy and get more clients to sign up web hosting plan under my affiliate link.

The conclusion is that you provide something that is benefit to your client, they’ll be more likely to return the favor, such as signing web hosting plan under your affiliate link, this is also the power of healthy relationship between you and your client. Make money online can be very challenging, but once you build the trust and healthy relationship with everyone else, they will most probably help in your online business.
