Nice thread going here mafiaboy and cograts
on your successful biz.
How do you go about finding a domain name
for their business ?
Do you do a search for available names
and go back and see them to know witch
one they prefer ?
If they don't have an internet account,
what method do you charge them your
recurring $25...post dated checks ?
I don't own a laptop, so i guess it would
be difficult for me to show them examples
of different templates
Anyway, keep up the good work :thumb:

Wow, that really does look professional
For those of you who don't like speaking to people or if you're too young and think they wont take you seriously you can also do this on ebay.
Throw up a quick website with a few articles on and make it look nice. You can do this on wordpress if you like. Then host it on your own reseller hosting and sell it for about $10 (near enough making no profit). Likelihood is that these people will stick to your hosting. Anyone who has a shared hosting plan or a VPS will most likely be outsourcing their blog creation and not buying blogs. Of course you'll have to charge say $3 a month so you'll need far more sites to make a good income and the dropout rate is probably slightly higher (I havent actually tried this but I have a friend who's been doing this for 6+ months).
Most cheap websites never even sell for .99 cents on ebay so this would seem to be very difficult or a waste of time.

Nice straight forward method OP - You mentioned in another post that you can get flash cs5 on warez forums - don't forget that you can also download alot of pro looking templates (inc some of the template monster packs) from the same forums and edit these. this'll help to keep your template costs down and increase your bottom line.
you could also check out templatesp2p (invite only) but some of the nice guys and gals here on bhw are members already so you could always ask them nicely for an invite.

Another advice, you could also use sites like fiverr to advertise your services, and in the communication with a potential client you have to tell them that they need to buy hosting from the hosting company you're affiliated with if they want a $5 website for their business.

lol i've just set up this plan without reading your thread.... damn i thought i had an idea here.. haha.. anyway.. tips!!....
TIPS:
there is a TON of free newspaper ads to be eaten up. and anything free in newspapers are popular
face to face makes the sale!
reseller accounts aren;t needed, but very very advised! its possible just to give a free subdomain, plus make them pay $20 for space, as if they need cpanel anyway lol ;p
thanks for the thread

clever little way to make some money
neat idea. Few q's
lets say your client is cheap and says, I am ok to do updates. Can I get access to the code and admin? since they are not under contract with you, they take their code and domain and host it themselves somewhere like netfirms or something that ive seen charges 10 bux per year. How do you protect yourself from them stealing your work you have done for them for free basically after say like 1 month of hosting?

ok question about billing:
Has anyone who has used paypal as their merchant had any issues withdrawing funds? I think I read awhile back that you could only withdraw like $500 per month to your linked checking account. If that's the case, I think you would want to use hostgator's billing setup (although I don't have any details on it).
What do you guys think?

Im going to try this but have to find somebody who can build websites cheap to outsource too
By not giving them access to the hosting and domain.. say that YOU will maintain it for FREE (or whatever) so they will not have any hassle.
