What to do first
Your efforts in bringing people to your site will be wasted if you aren't properly prepared.
* Before trying to get new clients, make sure that your website looks professional. A website that's poorly designed or has grammar or spelling mistakes turns people off.
* Be sure that you're ready to expand. If you don't have the time, staff, or other resources to handle more clients, don't go looking for them.
* Consider offering niche services. Make what you offer at least a little different from what other web hosts offer to give people more reasons to sign up with you.
Word of mouth
Many web hosts get the majority of their clients through word-of-mouth advertising. Keep your current clients happy, and they'll tell other people about you.
From web hosts selling clients
Web hosts come and go all the time. In WebHostingTalk's Other Hosting Related Offers forum, you can find threads where members are selling hosting clients or their web hosting company.
Offline advertising
* Promote your web hosting business locally.
* Advertise in relevant magazines, newsletters, and other publications.
Affiliate programs
With an affiliate program, other people do the work in bringing business to you. They earn money for helping you acquire new clients, and you earn money by keeping those clients.
