    MY first online venture

    One of my first online ventures was simple web hosting reselling site. A free storefront with no sign-up cost of any kind. www.UrlGuru.com

    That then led to all kinds of other free programs - Now all linked together they make a decent income. It is just important to know that we all start small and grow slowly. The key is to keep your costs to a minimum. ($0 imo) - until you can start reinvest some of the income.

    Success on the net: Must be present to win!

    I agree, the middle graphic area is nice, the text on the top and bottom is too much,

    I agree with the 'building up slowly' comment. One of the biggest problems does seem to be that newcomers arrive and soon think they can earn decent money for relatively little work - if only!

    Im slowly trying to move across the activites on the web. Basic site ownership, dropshipping, affiliation etc. And its going well for me!

    So its great to here another success story - keep up the good work DaVinci!

    Regards, Satch.

    Yep the only "costs" i have right now are hosting ($15/mo or so) and I am pulling in $25/mo in adsense. So $10 in the black is not bad for 2 months business time and not really doing anything.

    The only way to stand out in searches on hosting is to have some extra stuff. + it serves a purpose when people start looking around beyond the hosting offer I might get a few visitors to other ventures. It works nicely together. The key is that is was free and set up in minutes.

    Hi,

    One thing came to mind. At those prices you must be overselling so much. I warn you as it can create big problems in the future. The site is ok, maybe you need to think about making it more simple. Look at www.WicksHosting.com see how simple it is.

    Yeah, i agree to safronelectronics and TheGodfather, the text in the bottom is out of place. Try to edit that bottom part, make it easy to read, eye friendly.

    Btw, i like the color of your site.

    Each reseller set their own pricing. I really like the commercial plan price. You can actually host 10 different domain sites with that. Thats like 0.60

    I dont really worry about the future. If they cant make money with they will raise the prices I guess. I just want to pass on the good price and not mark it up myself too much. I already make a profit on all sales and I have 0 costs...well except for renewing the domain name each year. $6.95

    Some months have brought in over $100. Not bad for a free opportunity and free site. The links below I need those for circulating traffic to other free things. It's circle and it works.

    You should create another page for the text on the bottom.

    They are just there to create search word traffic and perhaps get an occasional click. If you leave a free private label reseller site like this completely unchanged the only traffic you get to it is traffic that you send yourself. Since there are 10,000 identical sites the only difference you can make is in your keywords, headers and footer text.

    sorry for all the stuff. I dont really care if it turns off somebody since the traffic was self generated. Its all good. Its free so hey.
