3. Setting you up as a Bulk SMS Reseller with the capacity to send SMS for others, sell SMS credit and register others as resellers under you.

Reselling Bulk SMS

Being a Reseller means you get your own text messaging platform like:

• Fully Hosted website (www.yournameSMS.com) which will bear your Company Name, address, phone numbers and bank account details.
• Administration functions to enable you administer your customers and be in full control of your bulk SMS platform.

What is the Business Model? How do You make Money?

Simple – you get your own SMS website. This gives you admin access which allows you to manage your users, credit SMS to your clients and your customers can register from your website, too.

You buy SMS units at a wholesale price and then resell to your customers in small batches at whatever price you desire. The more customers you have, the more messages they send and the more SMS units you buy the lesser you pay per SMS unit.

How Much Can You Earn?

As a reseller, if you buy 100, 000 SMS at N1.00 per SMS (N100, 000) and sell them at the rate of N2.00 per SMS. You would have made a 100% profit of N100, 000. Again, if you get larger order, maybe from a politician, church or established company, of 1 million SMS, trust me, you earn average of 1 million naira in profit for yourself, and all these could happen in just one day!

NOTE

• Setting you up as a Bulk SMS Reseller will cost you N30,000
