Online Backup-How to Sell

Join an online backup company as a reseller or agent. Internet backup service companies offer affiliate programs to interested parties. Once you join one, you get commissions based on sales.

Create a software name with an available domain name. It means that when you do a quick online search and a trademark search for your possible software name, the results will show no similar match for that name.

Get a graphic or logo for your site's home page and "About" page.

Choose the kind of files you want to back up. Do an online search for those files and add them to the pre-selections of your client software.

Build an installer using the customization features in your client software. In just an hour, you can have a product that you will sell to a new market.

In addition, you can benefit much from targeted markets through other means. These ways include distributing press releases to business publications, being recognized by industry trade groups, and getting mailing lists.

It is easier to make more sales to old customers because of the higher costs of selling to new customers. To successfully sell your new online backup service to old customers, you can team up with service and software companies that already exist within your vertical market. Provide your client software the feel and look of the other software using its branding abilities.

After starting your online data backup service business, you need to research, plan, and customize your software. Reselling online backup services also involves making sales calls to get new customers for your new business. Aside from phone calls, you can also use email and sales letters to explain to your target customers how an online data backup service can make their service or software better than those of their competitors. Also, explain the benefits of using Web-based data backup service to protect their critical data and files. Get ready to provide figures relevant to the Internet backup industry. Of course, you need to research the statistics first before contacting your target customers.
