New Year's Resolution
If you haven't been taking advantage of your status as an EZ-NetTools™ Reseller, resolve to start!
David Mortensen
Editor, EZ-NetAdvantage
We've all heard the fable: a man sells his farm and everything he has to go around the world in search of a treasure hidden in a stream somewhere only to find out that what he was looking for was actually in the stream in the farm that he had sold in the first place. It sounds foolish, but many of us are in the same situation.

In the economic climate that we currently find ourselves in, many of us are looking for alternative ways of making money. Maybe you want to supplement your income, or perhaps you need to develop a better primary source of income. Before you go out looking for ways to make money (and wind up spending more money in the process), it's important to look at what you already have.

You are an Authorized EZ-NetTools™ Reseller. Many of our resellers signed up originally to put their own website online and then maybe sell some sites further down the line. I suggest that that time has arrived.

It is a new year, and ICServ has made selling your accounts easier than ever. The following are some easy ways that you can sell your EZ-NetTools™ accounts, even if you've never sold a website before!

1. Open Your Eyes
There are opportunities to sell websites all around you, if you look for them. If you look for those that you know could use an EZ-NetTools™ website, they almost literally sell themselves. Driving down the street, you see a small shop that sells unique items. Stop in! Visit with the owner. Do they have a website? Do they think their products would sell well online? It doesn't hurt to ask, and you will very likely spark some interest! A friend of yours restores antique fire extinguishers and sells them at antique shows. Wouldn't someone like that benefit from a website? You won't know until you ask. And don't forget your aunt the real estate agent. She has been looking for someone to take her agency online, but she hasn't had the time to research it. Open your eyes, find opportunities, make inquiries, and you'll be surprised that you can make sales without even really trying.

2. Use Your Resources
As an EZ-NetTools™ reseller, you have access to a host of incredible resources designed to help you. The first of these is the model sites. Our designers have made some wonderful sites that are available to you at no additional charge! Become familiar with them, and find those people who would benefit from the sites that were already built for you. Model sites require minimal modifications before you can sell them to one of your customers at a great profit.

3. You Don't Have To Be An Expert
The Internet is a huge field. There is a lot to know, and nobody knows it all. To be an EZ-NetTools™ reseller, you don't have to be an expert on the Internet. What you need is a basic understanding of the product that you are offering and an idea of who that product can benefit and why. Beyond that, when your customers have questions for you, you need only position yourself as a resource for getting answers. You have live telephone customer support available to you from 8am-8pm MST Monday through Friday and on Saturdays from 8am-Noon MST by calling 208-356-6887. They can also be reached through the Customer Support website at http://support.eznettools.net. You also have Jessie and all of ICServ's Reseller Support resources at your disposal. You may not have all the answers-nobody does-but you know where to get them!

4. You Don't Have To Be A Designer
You've been on the Internet and you know the difference between a good website and a not-so-good one. Maybe you don't have the time or inclination to develop your website design skills. Well, with Team ICServ in your corner, there's no reason why you have to. ICServ has formed a team of its most talented artists and Web developers with the sole purpose of making you look good. If you get a job that you want us to build for you, you can contact Wendy Miskin (1-800-627-4780 or wendy@icserv.net), and she will provide you with a quote. Team ICServ will produce incredible, high quality work for you at wholesale prices-prices well below the industry average. In turn, you can take the finished site and sell it to your client at retail pricing. You find the customers, we'll do the work, and you make the money. You can't lose!

New Year's Resolution
It's the beginning of a new year. There will be blessings and challenges throughout the year. Why not resolve to take control of your own destiny? Let the investment you made in your EZ-NetTools™ resellership bring you greater return this year. There's a potential goldmine already in your own backyard! Determine to recognize the opportunities that are around you, and sell some websites. We are here to support you however we can. I know you can do it!
