28 Ways To Make Money With Your Mobile Phone by aseoluwa(m): 4:27am On May 07, 2009
1. HOUSEHOLD MACHINES OR DEVICE REPAIR SERVICES
To do this business, you’ll need to contact local repair shops in your community and tell them you will list them free of charge for a commission on all business you send them. For those that agree to your terms, find out the type of repair work the specialize in, example cooker, refrigerator, washing machine, TV sets etc. People with urgent or emergency problems will call you and you can refer them to the proper repair shops. The shop owner gets the extra business; you receive a commission. But make sure you list only experts and not quacks and fraudster. Don’t also list those who won’t be able to deliver prompt service. If pick up and delivery service is required, this should be added to the customer’s bill by the shop owner.




2. PRODUCT SELLING BY PHONE
This is another lucrative business. I am specifically into this right now. Right now, many firms, stores, factories, industries, etc. need phone sales people to help sell items and goods such as books, subscription, encyclopedias, cloths, etc. Most pay able average commissions, some pay on a ‘presale’ basis; others pay a flat fee for making appointments for their sales men to call on prospective customers. Contact local firms that may be interested in using your services.

Almost every business has outstanding debts. If you can convince debtors by phone that they should pay their bills, you can receive nice commission. Some firms allow as much as 2/5 commissions almost any firm will be interest in your plan, since most will be happy to pay you a fee and receive some payment rather than nothing at all.

4. SERVICES SELLING BY PHONE
Although this is similar to 2 above, generally, you offer your service to local firms that sell items that home-owners would be interested in, such as water purification, insurance, decorating services, landscaping etc. Since such service are so technical in nature, you will usually be paid a fee for each appointment you arrange for the salesmen, plus receive a commission on the final sale.

5. RESERVATION SERVICE FOR HOTELS

Great Post! This reveals that there are a lot of opportunities out there who is ready to grab them. I have the personal belief that anybody that can read and write and also has access to the internet and a phone has no business with poverty. Nigerians should open up their eyes and see the wasted opportunities lying around you, take advantage of them and be the next guy your neighbors will describe as 'lucky guy'.
