How to find a reseller?

Sorry if it's an off-topic – then mods please move this threat to the right place.

I'm just wondering about a general question – how people find resellers?

Post what you need in the Web Hosting Requests forum. You'll be inundated with people trying to sell you a reseller account. Choose maybe the top three candidates that come closest to what you want, research them (try doing a search on this board, for example).

But I'm not a webhoster. And I am looking for reseller of my product, not a reseller of somebody else's services. That's why I'm not sure whether my question is topic or off-topic.:)

You mean that you are a web hosting company trying to sell reseller accounts?

If so, you should try posting your sales pitch in Web Hosting Special Offers.
You might also browse several of the different forums here for marketing tips and ideas.

No, I am not a webhosting at all.

I am just asking a general question - how to find (or how to look for) resellers for your own business, resellers who will buy products (services) from your business and will sell to somebody else.

I'd say it depends a lot upon what exactly you're reselling. Is it a secret?

it can't be a secret, reselling secrets is a very serious offence :D :D

They usually hang out at Wal-Mart

No, it's not a secret. I sell royalty free images. And I looking for resellers.

I'd say target your advertising efforts at websites that attract people who would be interested in that product, webmaster forums perhaps. You could post about your product here at the Related Offers and Request section, but perhaps without much success. I'm not sure how interested web hosts would be in this, but maybe the people trying to sell web design to the web hosts would be interested in your stuff.

Target your promotional resources towards forums and sites that are graphics related considering many designers do buy stock pics for use, so there is a market there for sure. This is especially so for unique non-generic types of pics/images.

petertdavis and MKelso,

Thank you for your advices.

But I am afraid you didn't understand what I am looking for.

At the moment I am not talking about places where I can promote my product, but where I can find resellers (people who would buy my product in small or big quantities and sell it further to the end buyer).

From this point of view maybe even webhosting companies could be interested, because they have contact with many web-designers.

But in general I am trying to find forums where people are looking for business opportunities. Unfortunaly, most of such forums and message boards are occupied by all sorts of MLM businesses…
