Please help me! I'm planning to get a super reseller plan. Is it profitable?

Hi its only as profitable as you resell it! however do as much research on the godaddy hosting before you signup, they are good for domains but not too sure on hosting.

I think you would be the one to determine that. Are you ready to aggressively market your services? Your success depends on the effort you invest beyond the cost of a reseller plan. If you're ready for that investment you'll be successful.

I'm sure that some of their resellers do, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything for you and me. No one can guarantee you any sort of results, as it all depends on your ability to get the right website traffic, and on your sales skills.

Well, not sure about GoDaddy Reseller Plans, but I have heard that they Suspend your account for even minor issues

To be a reseller, you dont invest money. So, no way you can lose money unless you spend lot of money on advertising and can not make any sales. Consider a reseller program that covers hosting element of the business as well because you have to provide hosting to some of your registrants.

A super reseller account at Godaddy is $200 per year if I recall the figure correctly.

is it a deposit or a fee? Do you get credit to register domain names with this payment? If not, it is not a good deal. Others do not charge fee only gets a deposit towards your registrations.

Its a yearly fee. No. You do not get credit. You just spend $200/year. The good side is if you made $1,000/year. You get to keep $800 of it.

You should try enom o resellerclub then. They do not have any fee.

Resellerclub would be a good option for no brain & no lost resell business. However if you want to make money, you will need to invest money and efforts on marketing. $200/year would be nothing compared to advertising cost. One good thing with Godaddy super reseller account is you can resell Basic and PRO plans to cover the cost.

There costs for domains selling to me r very higher than godaddy. Im between two worlds. godaddy or resellerclub

You are practically wasting the annual fee with WWD unless you are really going to have decent sales to cover the fee. Go with NetEarthOne if you are looking at ResellerClub. They have better rates.

Godaddy supports also your customers and you get some good freebies (like Google adwords coupon, their products etc.) You can even get lower costs if you through a reseller. Resellerclub does not support your customers.

Well you want your customers to call and contact directly with GoDaddy? So why should they choose you than? Your price can not compete with theirs. Reseller club supports you and you can simply ask the customer questions to LB support. They even have online chat.
