How to Become a Web Design Reseller

You can make a large commission reselling pre-made or custom websites.

Internet users who do not have much experience in designing websites may need to hire a professional to create a website to their specifications. Becoming a Web design reseller will allow you to make money selling website designs whether you choose to design the websites yourself or have someone else design them. A Web design reseller can purchase a website from a designer and choose a price to sell it to someone else. A Web design reseller can make money and work out the comfort of his home.

Instructions

1. Locate Web designers who will be willing to sell you websites or Web templates at a cheap price. Use freelancing sites like Getafreelancer.com, Guru.com or Elance.com. Freelance Web designers from overseas, such as in China and India, may offer website designs at a cheaper price than what you find in the United States. Network with these individuals to determine a time frame in which they can design the websites as well as a price that you will pay.

2. Purchase designed websites from freelance web designers to showcase and advertise your service. You may choose to set up arrangements to pay for the website only if it fails or you can negotiate with a Web designer to give you a deep discount for multiple websites. Choose a website that covers multiple categories to appeal to a larger audience.

3. Find your target market and determine the websites in which it is most interested. Visit freelance websites like Elance.com and find out what websites people are asking to have designed. If multiple projects appear to be in the gaming or social networking category, for example, then purchase designed websites covering those categories.

4. Advertise your business by placing ads in your local newspaper. Use online classifieds like Craigslist and social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace. Design your own website using Web templates in a portfolio format. A portfolio-style website provides information about your services as well as a portfolio of the websites designed. Include pictures and links of the websites you purchased from your Web designers and list prices where your customer can purchase your pre-made websites or order custom websites based on an agreed-upon price.
