I particularly like the Social Media tip. Maintaining a Facebook or Twitter presence is a great way to drive more traffic to your site, particularly through Fan pages. The more fans you have on Facebook, the more people are likely to visit your website where you can try to convert them into sales.

Social Media is very helpful sinces its free

Nice Tutorial, it makes a very good read. .

Think, I will be forwarding this link to a couple of people

Got my first signup from existing IT customers, but did get a couple new hosting clients from passing out fliers to local business.

Nice writeup, thanks for sharing!

So lengthy.. But it's Good!
I need a bottom line... PLZ help me..

These are all good points. I might also suggest that you find something that makes you unique and different from all the other small hosts out there. What do you offer with your accounts or your hosting that makes someone say, wow, i'll choose them.

Having been in the hosting business for over a decade, I think that having great reseller tools/packages can help a company sky-rocket their sales.

For instance. Company A, just offers a reseller package, but Company B offers a reseller plan, with templates, and turn-key sites, along with support software, and billing software.

Company B is more likely to get sign-ups even if their price is higher. When you add up the added value of having those softwares available as well as the value of having a turn-key site solution, you have completely differentiated yourself from Company A...

It is very helpful to know more about reseller plan. Most of people decide to start reseller hosting without good expertise on it

I remember my first clients. I made one single post in a forum. Didn't really expect much out of it right away, and I got 4 clients in 2 days!
