Re: Resellers? What?

Ignoring the fact that I've obviously made the figures up.....

Have I got that about right? Is there anything more to it than that? Is it really as easy as it sounds? If it is, why isn't everybody doing it?

Has anybody got any experience with reselling? How easy/difficult is it to do? What are the pitfalls (if any) and what's the best way to get started?

Oh, if I've got totally the wrong end of the stick please take it off me and beat me with it - thanks
I-Web have quite a few resellers here already (dont they millay )

I would agree with all the others, the financial side of it isnt that important, its the time you have to be able to respond to clients etc... How long can you sustain your new business financially if you dont get the signups you thought you would etc....

You'd be better to work on a cost per gig of bandwidth rather than cost per gig of webspace.

Its actually the other way round
