Why hold on to fcmb share when you can enjoy the ride in afriprud?

AFRIPRUD seems promising for now oo. Learnt the closure date for the 43kobo dividend will be later this March so anybody that buys before then is entitled to the dividend. That is like 15% profit. The MD of Afriprud was on air this morning.

Another Great thread from the Guru himself.

You might need to introduce bright colours. The design is too dark to me. Nice job though.

STANBIC IBTC has been charging STAMP DUTY fee on my Savings Account. I went to my Branch and the Customer Care reps insisted that the charge is in order. I also saw other customers complaining.

CBN should come to our AID.

Its is amazing that the OP opened this thread and made the allegation without VERIFIABLE EVIDENCE and FACT. I expected you to do a thorough investigation and present us with facts and not just asking questions without providing answers.

I do not know the current state of their routes. Before i quit using them, the story was not palatable.

OP. The points you raised are for an IDEAL situation. Unfortunately, the reality in most Nigerian companies is a far cry from the points you noted.

GREAT TESTIMONY...God bless your hustle.

rolexsms:

well spoken it all depends on ones approach on this business so many people see Bulksms business as just owning a website while others see it as a firm which needs to deliver quality service . i started with bulksms seeing it as a website before i met creativeweb ojochidem and semasir, then my ideology changed ..when i wanted to even start at first i used a cracked version of spc4 thinking its cool that way..but everything went down ..for like 4-5 months was down and den i had like 50 clients .....so later on i made a bold step i read through this thread from the first letter to the end ..then i brought out a book wrote down my account balance and mapped out how to spend it on reviving
i paid for a premium template first then i bought spc4 paid for another larger hosting package ....then i started a new bulksms firm (not a website this time) my mistakes has been my stepping stone ....i can tell u am doing very well now if open my admin panel for u ...u go suprise.......and i started using a nigeria gateway few months ago i switched to a foreign gateway..so what am trying to say is that whateva you are doing in this business just do it well . because when you stand out on what you do .you get standard customers ....the sky is very large to contain everyone . God bless

This is getting interesting. This thread is meant to show guys the way. But if anyone chooses to do otherwise, its up to him or her. We have restated here times without number that bulk SMS biz is hinged on the Quality of service you offer and not the price. Have you stopped to think why sites like SMSLIVE have not reduced their rates since like 2011 and they are still leading the industry??

How many of the big guns come here to render advice? Everyone is guarding his or her secret jealously but @Creativeweb deemed it fit to spill it and we are backing him. Because the Sky is wide enough to contain all of us.

fleps:


@ the bolded. Bros, sincerely speaking, this thread is the best way you can be shown because that particular way you desire may never be shown to you.

It's like you're simply saying "show us your secret weapon". Even me wia dey talk, I don't operate any yet; I just design. I remember approaching the owner of a reliable bulk sms website that I've been using since 2012 begging him to "show me the way". The response I received portrayed my foolishness. Then I asked myself, "would I show anyone the way if I knew a very reliable source?" Would you?

Till now I still cannot answer that question.

Anyway, I'll advice that anyone going into the business should try to build something professional, reliable and lasting... In Nigeria, we have less than 10 bulk sms firms the rest are simply websites

Respect to ojochidem and creativeweb. They're doing well.

Cheaper pricing depends on your monthly traffic.

haykay2005:

Don't get me wrong. Am willing to deal with any reliable foreign provider with a base in Nigeria. Not because of anything but pricing. I am sure Infobip will still be cheaper than smsnaija247.com

Infobip Nigeria offers Naira account.


.

easynetsms:


ANd which foreign provider is that

My brother please listen to valid advice. Some of the Local providers you are running away from will offer you a better service that Route SMS. Some of us have stories to tell about foreign providers.

Secondly, why waste money on foreign exchange when you can buy in Naira? You need to be careful when making decisions in Bulk SMS biz. Every kobo you lose counts.

I know a reliable foreign provider here in Nigeria that will charge you in Naira.

haykay2005:

Am not interested in local providers sir. You can assist in website development and integration.how do i get your contact please

Seconded. We always buy Paypal from him.

This same scenario played out in during my NYSC 2011 when I boarded a cab from Akure to Ondo. I quickly got down half-way immediately the driver came up with that same story.

I thank God for sparing my life.

Have you tried www.chrisvicmall.com ?

Moyanbe:
Can you give us the names and contacts of the logistics company you do use which is also reliable. I will like others who have answers to this question to do same. I want to ask if logistics companies do want their customer to pay in naira to their nigeria account at the exchange rate of black market (malam exchange rate) cos fastlink global logistics is asking me to do so. I will want experienced minds to come to my rescue

dejitenaj:
i will like to know more about how it works. i created an ad on website clicks but i didnt sell a since product and i got just 20 clicks for $10. can i really use a page for sell my products? thank you

Don't get me wrong. You are not selling directly on the facebook page rather you are using the page to advertise your product. You can include the link to your Online Store , WhatsApp Number etc in the advert.

If you don't have an online store, you should think of setting up one with Konga, JUMIA, Kaymu, JIJI, OLX etc

Create a page for your business. Then create a catchy post with images of your items and boost it for as low as 1USD per day. Thank me later.

Great thread @Tugrow.

internetpo:


Thumbs up! great work you guys are doing here. Still following and learning too .

Thanks, bro! How is business?

Ymodulus , just sent you a PM.

IkayEkeocha:
Once again thanks ojochidem for ur support....

Is it possible to edit my spc 4 component css to match my site ?

Kindly explain more on routing

How make it possible for my portal to me able to detect multple input numbers whenever a client wants to send a message?

How i make it possible for clienta to be able to schdule messages and dispatch them at a specific time ?

Do u knw any site i can get joomla templates that can relate to bulk sms service

Thanks

Thanks for the compliments. I stopped using SPC and Joomla for almost a year now so I am not current about Joomla issues. @Creativeweb will be of great help.

I will explain ROUTING, SCHEDULING and DUPLICATE NUMBERS.

A. ROUTING: Is a feature of any Bulk SMS site that gives the capability to assign routes or SMS gateway(Providers) to individual networks. For example. You can route the 4 Major GSM Networks as follows: MTN=KudiSMS GLO=RouteSMS AIRTEL=SMSnaija247 ETISALAT=RolexSMS

With this you save a lot on your cost price in the sense that you route each network to the most RELIABLE and affordable provider. With emphasis on reliability.

Cost: SMS Portal Creator 4 Routing Key is sold at a Rate of NGN29,890.00 here http://smsportalcreator.com/buy-spc. I bought it for N30,000 like 3 or 4 years back and it really served its purpose.


B. SCHEDULING: : SPC scrippt comes with scheduling feature. The last i knew of SPC is that you will need to configure cron jobs in your Cpanel for it to work. Anyone that has the current Scheduling setup can explain further.

C. DUPLICATE NUMBERS: Yes. SPC is designed to identify and remove duplicate numbers. I will also notify the User of he number of duplicate numbers removed.

Hopes these few lines will help.

I just spoke with @Winkmart now. He is amazing. I applied what I learnt from his write up and I am already saving cash on Facebook Ads.

Kudos.

Can a Nairalander in UNN verify this so that we can be of help?

IkayEkeocha:
I'm an amateur in this business but i would like to confirm somethings

1. If my site is fully developed and i've interfaced it with the component, and i want to resell for a company do i need to sign up on their site and fund my account then use my login details to build my API then put in the API section in my component?

2. Which company can assure me 100% delivery and can sell to me at 0.75K at least.

3. How to allign every network to a specific API also implies to international networks


Kindly assist me

1.Yes. You will include the username and password of your provider's website in your API. Providers have API documentation. Ask them for it.

2. From experience, the rate you posted cannot guarantee the desired delivery. Cheaper routes are often not reliable, run away from Indian routes.

3. Routing is a function of your Bulk SMS component or Bulk SMS website script.

We should learn to help others grow and not mock them.

I pity this country. Anywhere bele face.

Why are you guys running away from Chrisvicmall? I have shipped with them for close to 4 times now and am happy with their service. The positives I see with them is that,
1.They have a standard Logistics website where you can place order and track your order.

2. All transactions are logged on their website.

3. You receive regular updates about your order by email and SMS.

4. You can chat with them even on their website using their Live chat system.

Note: This is my personal review. I was not paid or influenced to write. Just my 2kobo.
