Web hosting has become the biggest selling thing on the internet as far as internet marketing and internet business goes, because it is the first thing every developer, graphic artist, blogger or programmer needs.  If you are selling services or products that mean the buyer will need hosting – did you ever consider selling web hosting as an affiliate? The one product you can sell to virtually every single person who hits your site is web hosting, in this case, therefore you really ought to think about affiliating with at least one company who can provide a reseller account – or just an affiliate opportunity for single site web hosting.

There are many ways you can get into hosting, and these range from simply signing up to an affiliate company, right through to becoming a reseller, and setting people up on your reseller hosting account yourself, based on their domain name. The very best way to get started, is to examine how much time you want to spend setting up the hosting packages. You will of course be able to do it the easy way with affiliation, and simply sign up with GoDaddy or HostGator as an affiliate, and put links to their hosting packages on your site.

The other way, is as a reseller, and this takes a little more time. You can set your own price as a reseller, charging as little as $1 a year if you wished. You simply need to cover you own reseller costs, and then you’re set. When a person purchases hosting from you, you take their domain name, and add it to your package control panel in around two minutes. You then inform them how to set up their nameservers. This can be done in a template email. Always choose a reliable host, because when the hosting goes down (and most do) they will be emailing you in their hundreds…

Deciding about what your going to blog about and most importantly picking a domain name for your blog is the most important part of starting your blog.  The reason i say this is because you want a domain name that is going to match the content of your blog and also a domain name that is keyword friendly, even better is if you choose a domain name that will have your main keyword within your domain name, this will help the optimisation of your blog and also help with your search engine rankings.

What i do is, first i research the keywords that have less competition for the niche im going to blog about and also has a good amount of monthly searches.  I use Googles free keyword tool:

https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

Simply enter in a keyword related to your niche as below, for this example i will target a niche blog on “LCD TVs”:

Then you will receive the results, on the match type field select Phrase as i’ve done below.  This will put quotes around the keyword and give more accurate results.

Now what you want to do is go to Google.com and see what competition there is for this keyword.  What you want to do is find a keyword that has less then 50,000 competing websites because the less competition for that keyword the more likely you will rank on page 1 for that keyword.

For example go to Google and do the following with your chosen keyword (The keyword I chose from my list was “best flat screen tv” which has a monthly search volume of 9,900) making sure to put the quote marks around your keyword as I’ve done below:

Now once you have chosen the keyword you want to target, next is to search online to see if there is a domain available that has your main keyword within the domain name.

The ideal domain extensions you want are

1. First option for .com if its available
2. 2^nd option if .com is taken is .org
3. 3^rd option if both .com and .org are taken then get .net

If all 3 extensions are taken then what you can do is add something to the end of the domain for example:

www.bestflatscreentvonline.com

www.bestflatscreentvworld.com

www.bestflatscreentvinfo.com

etc..

Make sure you don’t have any dashes (-) in your domain name and make sure your keyword starts at the beginning.
