Once the job is done and paid for, the income stops and you must go find another client to earn again but reseller hosting introduces predictable income. When a client pays for hosting yearly or monthly, that payment renews automatically. That means:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You <a href=\"https:\/\/telahosting.ng\/blog\/how-nigerians-are-earning-monthly-income-from-reseller-hosting\/\">earn<\/a> without starting a new project<\/li>\n<li>You can forecast income months ahead<\/li>\n<li>You can plan your finances better<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n<p>If you host 40 clients at \u20a640,000 yearly: \u20a640,000 \u00d7 40 = \u20a61,600,000 annually.
