Make money by reselling web space at a profit
Lots of people need websites. But what they don't need is the hassle of choosing a web host. Hence most people nearly always follow a recommendation from a friend or colleague when picking their web hosting provider.
Are you somebody who is tired of giving out such recommendations? Well, maybe you have been ignoring your money making potential for too long. Do you have a way into a niche marketplace of people looking to get their websites online? If so, you could make some big profits.
Consider some of the markets you could tap into:
- Web designers and web developers
