As a small design firm (or perhaps as a freelancer designer), you design/build many of websites but always send your clients to host with a 3rd party hosting company like Godaddy, Bluehost, or Hostgator. And sadly you see NONE of that money. We offer an alternative: provide them a better hosting option for the same (or even better) price and start taking some of that hosting revenue yourself. We offer 15% back to you just for sending the clients our way!
AUDIENCE
Web Designers/Firms. The audience of this article is for Managers/Owners of small to mid-sized Web Design Agencies. This article assumes you currently design and/or build websites as part of your core service offering.
YOU’RE A COMPETENT WEB DESIGNER
Let me know if this scenario sounds familiar. You are an army of one; you work with clients to determine their web and marketing needs. You then design for them a brilliant, unique new website. You might even have a team of freelancers to help you with the web coding or other parts of their marketing, like social media or SEO.
And I bet you’re pretty good at your job. Really good. But you’re always chasing after that “next” client to try to help pay the bills and/or support your marketing efforts. Sound familiar? Your biggest problem without you knowing it: you don’t have a revenue flow!
FLIP THE SCRIPT; BUILD A RECURRING REVENUE STREAM
So let me offer you a very lucrative alternative. Instead of giving all that business to Godaddy or some other large monolithic company, I encourage you to leverage us as a partner instead. We are a local, family-owned web hosting and support firm. We have multiple servers across multiple datacenters, professionally monitored 24/7. Our team will offer 24/7/365 service and support for your clients. We also ensure top level security, proactive support, virus-scanning and monitoring, and high-performance. This means we don’t just respond to issues after they manifest; we take great strides to detect and prevent issues before they occur at all.
And most importantly for you, we offer you a commission for hosting at 15% in perpetuity (which no other reseller program does as far as we are aware). Meaning: you’ll continue to get a check or automated paypal payment every single month for as long as the client sticks around. No end dates and no monetary caps.
For some of our resellers, that translates to $1500+/mo in additional revenue if you’re able to send 25+ clients our way! Admittedly some of the smaller clients on shared hosting plans won’t get you more than a couple bucks per month; but if you have bigger clients who need dedicated or managed support, it can easily mean $100-300+/mo in commission per client.
ADDITIONAL BENEFITS OF MANAGED HOSTING WITH LCM
- Faster performance than any large shared hosting plan with Godaddy, etc
- Proactive support, meaning we don’t wait for security issues to surface first
- Cast-iron security; our firewalls and server monitoring offer the best protection against viruses and malware
- Quicker response to questions, needs, or issues
- 24/7/365 support, monitoring, and proactive security
- Managed services vs reactive services. We’ll catch problems BEFORE they become problems!
- LOWER hosting costs than the big guys. We offer FREE website hosting (beat that, Godaddy!). The customer pays for the service component, not for hosting. This makes it an easy sell!
- You get a true partner in website hosting/support, not just a simple vendor. You can rely on us to protect and support your clients around the clock
- Increase your revenue flow by hundreds of dollars per month!
CONCLUSION
If you design/develop websites for your clients and don’t have a true partner in the web hosting space, you could be leaving a lot of money on the table. We encourage you to give us a try – allow us to show you we are every bit and better than any hosting company you’re currently using. We offer more value and on top of it we kick back a part of the hosting revenue to you; so you can start building your own revenue flow!
