WhiteLabel = give up most revenue?

David we really do need to talk, I think your views of a white label solution are probably a bit out of date.

Partners can earn up to 75% of ALL income (initial AND recurring) with some (well, one) white label provider. If you can manage to set up web software, develop a membership database, hosting, customer supporting, payment processing and regularly develop new features for less than 25% of your turnover then you’d be working miracles.

Amazon’s platform is very interesting and we’ve trialled aspects of it for image hosting and scalability, things like that, but it doesn’t provide you with a ready-made membership database, customer support or any of the other things that make white label such an attractive option.

Anyhoo, my tuppence worth,

Ross

To clarify, I was referring to the setup of the hosting environment, in that it’s effectively managed hosting.

“AWS – set it and forget it”

How? Does AWS offer a ready made community site software? I don’t understand how it helps to get rid of the technical background development.

Dave,

We are planning on using AWS after the initial launch of the new site. At some point, when we launch the new blog to go along with the new site, we will go into the specifics…
