Partner with WebbedSites: Build Your Own Business & Earn Big

This is your opportunity to be the CEO of your own software business. Partner with WebbedSites, focus on clients, and build significant income and equity with a simple, transparent model.

Your Partner: WebbedSites

WebbedSites provides a super-efficient, reliable, and secure online software platform. It's your engine. It costs very little for us to run, even with lots of clients, because of our highly optimized technology. This efficiency allows us to share revenue generously with you.

My job is to keep the tech running perfectly, secure, and improve it (adding new features monthly!). You don't worry about the tech side; you use our system, and if there's a bug, you use our ticketing system.

Our Costs: My costs are low and predictable: ~$300/month for servers and ~$30/user/month for partner tools like Zoho. This efficiency is key to our shared success.

Your Role: CEO & Client Champion

You are the CEO of your own company (your LLC). Your mission is to find clients and ensure they are happy long-term users of the WebbedSites platform. You can work with clients in any industry you understand.

  • Find clients, show the value, sign them up.
  • Be their main contact for questions and support (using our tech ticketing for bugs).

Understanding Customer Lifetime Value

An effective partner doesn't just sell once; they build lasting client relationships. In the software space, a happy customer often stays for a significant time – typically 4 to 7 years on average. This makes each sale very valuable over its lifetime.

Here is the cumulative amount your business could earn from a single customer over several years, assuming they remain a client and you receive your share of the net revenue each year:

Customer Year Cumulative Earnings for Your Business (Per Customer)
Year 1 ~$1,147
Year 2 ~$2,294
Year 3 ~$3,441
Year 4 ~$4,588
Year 5 ~$5,735
Year 6 ~$6,882
Year 7 ~$8,029

(Note: Earnings per customer may vary slightly based on how sales tax is handled).

How Money Works: Simple & Fair

This is designed to be very clear and reward your effectiveness directly.

  1. Client Pays WebbedSites: The client signs the WebbedSites agreement and pays the annual fee (typically $2500 per year) plus any required sales tax directly to WebbedSites.
  2. Sales Tax: Sales tax rules vary. Where it applies, WebbedSites collects it from the client and pays it to the state. That sales tax money goes straight to the government.
    • You can choose if the client pays sales tax extra, OR it can come out of the $2500 fee.
  3. Business Tax vs. Sales Tax: Sales tax is collected from the customer on the transaction. Business income tax is paid by your company (your LLC) on your profit, and by WebbedSites on WebbedSites' profit. These are separate.
  4. The Revenue Split: After WebbedSites collects the payment and handles the sales tax, what's left of the original $2500 fee is the "Net Revenue."
    • WebbedSites splits this Net Revenue 50/50 with your business.
    • You get 50% of the Net Revenue. WebbedSites gets the other 50% to run the platform.
    • (This means you get approximately $1147 to $1250 per customer per year, depending on how sales tax was handled).

This straightforward split ensures you get a significant share flowing from the overall revenue WebbedSites collects after handling the unavoidable sales tax.

Getting Started: Your Sales Journey & Big Earnings

Building your client base takes focused effort upfront, but it leads to major long-term income. Here’s a realistic look at your sales journey and potential earnings:

  • Months 1-3: Launch & Learn. This is your initial setup period. You're focusing on learning the platform, researching your target industries, building your list of potential clients, and practicing your sales pitch. You're putting in the foundational work, but it typically doesn't result in immediate sales.
    • Expected Sales: 0 per month. Expected Earnings: $0 per month.
  • Months 4-6: First Successes. Your hard work begins to pay off! You start closing those first few deals from your initial pipeline. You'll see maybe ~1 sale per month coming in.
    • Expected Earnings: ~$1147 - $1250 per month.
  • Months 7-9: Building Momentum. You're gaining speed and efficiency. Your pipeline is stronger, and you're closing more consistently. You're now seeing maybe ~5 sales per month.
    • Expected Earnings: ~$5735 - $6250 per month.
  • Month 10 onwards: Full Stride! You're running your business smoothly, consistently bringing in clients at a solid pace. You'll see maybe ~8 to 9 sales per month consistently coming in (averaging about 100 sales/year).
    • Monthly Earnings (from New Sales Part): ~$9180 - $10,625 per month.

Building Your Wealth & Your Business Asset (Equity):

Every client who renews adds to your business's income (~$1147 - $1250 per year). Your excellent client care minimizes churn (clients leaving) and protects this stream. Your cumulative earnings potential, building your business year after year:

  • End of Year 1: ~$63,000 (Includes your ramp-up)
  • End of Year 3: ~$260,000
  • End of Year 5: ~$566,000 (Cumulative passes $0.5 Million!)
  • End of Year 10: ~$1,420,000 (Your cumulative earnings pass $1 Million – built on your recurring client base!)

Your Equity: By building this client base and revenue stream within your LLC, you are building a valuable business asset. The value of your company grows directly with your clients and revenue.

Scaling Your Business: Your profit allows you to hire staff (admin, support) for your business as you grow, further increasing your capacity and your company's asset value. You are the CEO, using your profit to grow your asset.

How WebbedSites Supports Your Business

We provide the core engine and essential tools:

  • Powerful Platform: Reliable, efficient tech you can trust.
  • Easy Client Creation Interface: A core sales advantage – sign up clients fast.
  • Technical Support: Ticketing system for platform bugs. No phone line for technical calls – this helps keep costs low for everyone.

Why Our Commission is So High

Our 50/50 net revenue split is intentionally generous. We believe in attracting highly effective, entrepreneurial partners who want to run their own businesses and be rewarded directly for their results. We want people who are hungry to succeed.

We believe in everyone's potential and don't want to micromanage. We offer a top-tier split because we trust you to be a CEO – to chase leads, build relationships, and provide excellent client care. Your success is our success, and we show that through our payout.

Our Shared Journey: Scaling the Network

WebbedSites grows by empowering partners. We'll build the network gradually:

  • Gradual Partner Onboarding: We'll start small (founder, Mom, Wife), learn, then add partners over time. It won't be one per month immediately; the pace will increase towards one new partner business per month eventually, as the model proves highly effective.
  • WebbedSites Grows With You: Our share of the revenue funds platform development and keeps the engine running. Here's a look at the WebbedSites profit (before founder salary):
    • End of Year 1: ~$624K
    • End of Year 3: ~$2.58M
    • End of Year 5: ~$4.25M

This is a partnership where the financial success is directly shared. After covering sales tax and business expenses (yours and WebbedSites'), the profit generated from a client over their lifetime is effectively split, reflecting a 50/50 partnership on the value created.

  • Build Equity: Create a valuable business asset in your own LLC.
  • Be Your Own CEO: Full control over your business.
