Webmaster Affiliates -
Unique Internet Fundraising

So you may be asking, "What are webmaster affiliates?"

Quite simply they are webhost companies that will pay you commissions for business that you send their way!

In the modern day, every business, and many individuals, want and need to have their own websites. So, effectively there are thousands of websites popping up every day, and of course, those websites need to be hosted somewhere!

With all the competition around, webhosts will pay very good commissions for business that you send to them.

Webmaster Affiliates

They will also often pay recurring/residual commissions, which means that they will pay you that commission for as long as that person you referred to them uses their services for. So whenever that referred person pays or renews their yearly/monthly webhosting package you will earn the specified % commission.

This makes webmaster affiliates an extremely lucrative and worthwhile internet fundraising idea to use! It's a great way to earn a passive income for your organization.

Out of all the affiliate fundraising ideas, "webmaster affiliates" is definitely the idea that raises the most amount of funds.

So let's look at how you raise the most funds from this idea...

Webmaster Affiliates - Raising Funds:

The first step is to find the best webmaster affiliates to represent and recommend.

Always recommend really quality webhosts or products to keep a good reputation and to make sure that the people you referred continue to use those services (so that you receive a residual commission).

This is the most effective (and integrity full) way of raising these funds!

Here are some webhosts that I would recommend as affiliates...

Quality Webhosts:

Site Build it!:

This is the webhost that I highly recommend and they are definitely the best host to represent! They have the most amazing amount of web building tools that are on offer at an excellent price and they have a superb success record.

They are also the only company that provides a comprehensive action guide to building a successful website that attracts free traffic from the search engines!

And just as important, they pay affiliates $75 - $250 commissions, on subscriptions for lifetime!

Vodahost:

Vodahost is another great webmaster affiliate to represent. They offer a very basic hosting package (compared to Site Build it!), at a very cheap rate! They also provide a really great webpage builder which simplifies the building of your website.

They pay you $70 for each sale that you send to them!

Homestead:

Homestead's web builder is a really amazing product but unfortunately their hosting fees are more expensive than other webhosts.

But even with that in mind they are still an excellent webhost to represent!

Marketing Webhosting Companies:

Once you've chosen what webhosts to represent, you will need to promote your fundraiser!

You should first equip yourself with information about the webhost and why their services are better than others! Also do some research into how to build a successful website so you can help people who want to start their own websites!

Here are some suggestible ways to promote your webhosts....

Advertise on your Website:

You can do this in many different ways, but a simple block somewhere, like in the right hand column, on all your pages, will do the best job. Have it say something like this...

"Want to own your own website? Want to promote your business online? Want to start a webstore? Find all the tools and services to build a successful website by clicking here....

And raise funds for our cause at the same time!"

You can also then have a small block or single liner at the bottom of your page that says, "Looking for webhosting? We use Site Build It!, and have found them to be an exceptionally good webhost!"

Newsletters:

You can market your webmaster affiliates through your newsletters in the same fashion as on your website.

Have a block somewhere in your newsletter that promotes the webhost, and let's your readers know that they will be raising funds for your cause, if they use this webhosting service!

Obviously if it is a physical newsletter you will need people to contact you to find out more information or you should send them to your website to read on from there!

Personal Contact:

This method will probably see the highest results as you will be making personal contact with prospects.

Contact all the local businesses in your area, and all the businesses that have supported you in the past.

You will find that many of them will be looking to set up a website to help promote their businesses or that many of them will have websites already that they'll be more than happy to transfer across to a new webhost!

Also be creative about who you contact. You will find that schools, churches, other non-profits and even individuals will be looking to set up websites... All you need to do is encourage them and help them set them up!

Final Notes:

Being a webmaster affiliate can be a very lucrative form of fundraising if you apply yourself correctly!

With a few people or businesses using your recommended webhosting services you'll find yourself receiving a very nice residual income stream from this fundraising idea! So be prepared to run it properly...

Be sure that you can answer any questions about the webhost, if people ask, and be ready to give advice to people who are building their websites.

Some of the webmaster affiliates, like Site Build It! pay commissions on multiple levels... So if someone who you've introduced to Site Build It! refers another person you get paid a depth commission for that referral.

So for example the person you've introduced might earn a 35% commission of that recurring sale of the person they've introduced and you will earn 5% commission from that sale.

So it's also definitely worthwhile equipping the people you introduced to the webhost, to be able to introduce others effectively!
