Default Godaddy

I use Godaddy for buying all my domains. I have my account with them, only it never occured to me to signup to be a reseller. I think that I looked into it a long time ago but the setup fee put me off as I thought that I could never recover the setup fee.

Do you have to sell above Godaddy's price to make any commission? Or can you price it exactly as Godaddy prices domains and still earn a commission?

You can sell pretty close to their prices. If it's higher, it's only a few cents. I made the mistake of setting mine way to high 5 years ago and it's hard to decrease them now because the renewal commissions are so nice. So if I could do it all over again I'd set them at $8 or $9 bucks.

It's about 30% for all products and yes, hosting is included. Pretty much anything GoDaddy sells you can resell from your store and earn a commission for it. To date, I've earned commissions for shopping cart systems, copyright protection services, even extra bandwidth usage for hosting customers, you name it. They do a great job of upselling upon checkout to encourage your customers to buy other products.

If the product has recurring billing (shopping carts, hosting, domains, etc.) then you earn commissions on all renewals. The renewals are what really boost your income over time. Basically anytime your customer buys anything you earn a commission (recurring or one-time products)

Default Godaddy affiliate

Do you need your own domain and have to map it to your Godaddy affiliate site, or can you just use their own domain ( eg. www.godaddy.com/youraffiliateid )?

People might feel more comfortable buying domains from Godaddy as they may have heard of it rather than some new domain which I buy.

There are several ways you can do it.

They give you a unique store URL when you sign up, but it's not pretty. It's something like http://secureserver.net/something/something/something Some people just use that. But what I did is bought a domain name and setup a forward/redirect to that ugly URL so I can just use that for branding and it's an easier name to remember.

The basic difference is with the PRO, the buy rates are lower so you earn more money per sale. Not much difference other than that.
