INTRODUCTION
Bulk Messaging is the dissemination of large numbers of SMS messages for delivery to mobile phone terminals. It is used by media companies, enterprises, banks (for marketing and fraud control) and consumer brands for a variety of purposes including entertainment, enterprise and mobile marketing. Bulk messaging is commonly used for alerts, reminders, marketing but also for information and communication between both staff and customers. Bulk messaging lets you deliver SMS messages to mobile handsets almost anywhere in the world.


Bulk SMS simply is a way of sending simple text messages to numerous contacts at once using the internet instead of your cell phone without you needing to go through telecom service providers. It is used to deliver messages to large groups of people either on a once-off or continuous basis. It is also effective where people need to send instant messages such as sports, community news or local information.


It can also be used to deliver diverse contents such as marketing messages, daily, weekly or monthly newsletters or account information of all types. The extent to which Bulk SMS can be put to use is wide. It has now become one of the preferred methods of communication across a large spectrum of users despite the emergence of the mobile web and other wireless technologies.


According to a recent 2011 statistics by the NCC (Nigerian Communications Commission), over 90 million active lines have registered thus revealing that the potentials of SMS business is high as millions of people all over Nigeria receive more than one SMS per day. Recent statistics by marketing and advertising experts also reveal the following:

- 9% of Nigerians watch television daily
- 19% of Nigerians daily listen to the radio
- 4% of Nigerians read newspapers daily
- 2% of Nigerians use the internet daily
- 75% of Nigerians use GSM phones daily

What is the essence of the above statistics? It is to show you that the potentials of profiting from this business are great.

Good afternoon all,

I will be updating this thread later today.

Thanks for following.

God bless you.

Good day all,

Thanks for following this thread.

As promised, I will be sharing with us the different business models that I know are available within this lucrative business of bulk sms.

1. THE BROKER MODEL

This is a model that allows anyone with little cash to earn profitably from this business.

How does this work?

Simply register with a bulk sms portal that you are guaranteed of delivery and let the owner know that you intend to offer Bulk SMS brokerage services to businesses, organizations, etc. With this, you can negotiate for fair prices that will give you room for profit.

Your responsibility therefore is to forward proposals or have one-on-one discussion with people, organizations, etc about the benefits they get to derive from using bulk sms for their activities.

You don't need a bulk sms portal before you begin to earn from bulk sms business.

What you need is a clear focus, exact people/companies you need to market to who are in dire need of bulk sms services.

PLEASE NOTE:

I have heard people say the bulk sms business environment is saturated.

I want to emphatically tell you that it is a LIE!

The bulk sms business niche is not saturated at all.

Start this business from the people around you. You will be surprised at the amazing opportunities around you.

Despite the fact that internet business opportunities are increasing everyday, many people are still in the dark about the opportunities available.

Yes, some of the people or organizations you will get to meet already have bulk sms service providers.

That does not stop you at all.

Stop moving around with a stagnant and defeated mentality.

Many people actually fail in business because they have failed in their mind before they started.

Quit those negative thoughts!

Take action!

Believe you can make it!

I'll be sharing other business models as we go on.

You can share your experiences and also post your questions.

Let us learn together.

I will do my best to answer your questions as much as I can.

Thank you.

Good morning all,

Do have a great day.

I will be updating this thread as time permits.

Thanks and God bless you.

Do have a great day.

Good morning all, thanks for following this thread so far.

In one of my recent posts, I talked about the Broker Model which you can start with little cash by simply approaching a bulk sms provider whose delivery you are guaranteed of and negotiating with him/her to purchase sms units at a cheaper price.

You then go ahead to meet with prospects starting from your environment or friends intimating them of what your business.

I'll continue with the next business model in the next post.

Thank you for following.

2. THE BASIC PROVIDER MODEL

This model gives you an upstart in bulk sms business.

What does it entail?

It entails you having a bulk sms portal (website) with guaranteed delivery from a reliable provider and catering for diverse end users.

This is the model many bulk sms portal owners operate.

It can be very lucrative if you work on your marketing.

Many people lament that they don't have customers.

One of the major reasons is because many focus their marketing activities online neglecting the abundance of individuals and organizations offline who are in dire need of bulk sms services.

Some years ago, precisely 2011 when I setup my first bulk sms portal, I sold one unit of sms then for as high as N5.00 (five naira) to individuals or organizations.

They complained that it was too high but I let them know of the value my service will bring to their business and how they will be the better for it.

I was not cowed by their complaint of high price.

I also charged them to type the numbers they want me to send sms to if they gave me a handwritten copy.

They told me I was supposed to type it free of charge. I simply replied telling them that it was a different job entirely and that if they took it to a business centre, they would have to pay for the typing.

That sealed it.

Though my methods above may not be all that applicable this time around, what I intend pointing out is that you don't need to be stereotyped into just one line of thinking.

Think outside the box.

Stop complaining that there are no customers.

There are customers and there will be customers.

It is your duty to find them the right way.

Start offline.

Use the proposals I uploaded yesterday.

Edit them.

Fine tune them.

Hit the streets.

Don't be shy.

Businesses are waiting for you.

Get up and running!

...
Thank you.

Thanks for following this thread.

I hope you have been learning one thing or the other here.

I will be posting other business models here and how to harness them profitably.

Aside bulk sms business, I will also be sharing with us some other mobile marketing businesses that can be incorporated alongside bulk sms business.

This thread promises to be eye-opening.

I'll be back later.

Thank you.

Good day all,

How has your day been?

Thanks for following so far.

Kindly note:

If you have questions concerning this line of business, kindly post it here. I will do my best to answer them to the best of my experience.

Thanks once again.

Today, I'll be writing about the next business model


3. THE MAJOR PROVIDER MODEL

Here, you don't only cater for end users, you also cater for resellers.

How do I mean?

Apart from end users who patronize you to purchase sms units for their use, you also have other users whom you setup bulk sms portals for and sell bulk sms units to.

This model enables you to make more money than the previous models as you make money in bulk setting up bulk sms portals for individuals and/or organizations.

You don't need to have any technical knowledge before you learn how to setup bulk sms portals for people.

I have simplified the process for you.

You can visit www.bigdreamsng.com/smsportal and read full details on how you can learn to setup your own bulk sms portal and make money setting it up for others.

One major thing I like about this model is that you won't be using your own money to run the business anymore as you will use the money provided by your resellers for setting up their own bulk sms portals and subsequent sms units purchase to run the business.

MY OBSERVATION
With my research, I discovered that many bulk sms website owners don't position themselves properly when it comes to intimating prospective clients of the business opportunities in the bulk sms niche.

They have a page on their bulk sms portals most times named "Resellers" that reels out the features of their bulk sms resellership business.

I can tell you that most times, it doesn't convert.

Why?

It's simply contains features and not benefits.

For a prospect to be convinced about your offer, you must show the client the benefits of the business.

This is one major area where I stand out personally in this bulk sms business.

I setup a complete page telling the story of what bulk sms business is and the benefits that can be derived from it.

I show prospects "the money" in the business.

....Continued in the next post

...Continued from the previous post

I hold prospects by the hand and take them through the business to see its profitability.

I POSITION myself for the clients to make the purchase.

POSITIONING is one major area many people are failing in this business.

How do I position myself?

Please, visit www.bigdreamsng.com/smsbusiness and see the unique sales page I created to convince prospects of the need to start their own bulk sms business.

Please, what did you notice about the page?

I took my time to explain to the best of my ability what bulk sms business entails and how they can key in.

You can also take a cue from that sales page of mine and write something similar (Please, don't copy verbatim).

If you desire that I setup a reseller sales page similar to my own, I'm here to do that for you.

I'll help you set it up at a very affordable fee.

...

Now that you have learnt about this model, what are you going to do about it?

Read and dump?

Read and take action?

The will to take action lies with you.

Good afternoon all,

Before I move on to the last business model in the bulk sms business niche, I'll like to talk about getting connected to providers abroad.

Connecting with bulk sms units providers abroad is not a hard task at all.

I can personally talk about www.routesms.com

Please note; whatever bulk sms units providers abroad you come get connected to, please ask for pricing for PREMIUM ROUTES.

Premium routes guarantee 90-95% delivery of your sms.

Delivery is THE KEY to success in this business aside good customer service, good looking sms portal interface and others.

They also have Direct Routes whose delivery is around 70-75% guaranteed. Please, don't go for this even though it is cheaper.

Make sure you ask for premium routes.

The price differs for each network.

Let me put here the contact of my own Account Manager - Mr. Udit of RouteSMS (+91 98209 53482) - You can add him on whatsapp. Tell him you are from Mr. Joseph in Nigeria.

Please note: I am not getting anything by introducing him to you. Please, take time to also negotiate prices with him.

I'm simply doing this out of my own volition in order to help you as he has been courteous with me for about a year now.

I have introduced some of my trainees to him and they are doing quite well.

One other good thing is that Routesms has a GTBank account here in Nigeria. You will just have to pay into their account here in Nigeria.

You will be expected to provide your username and password for your bulk sms portal so that their link (API) which will enable you to be connected to them and send their sms will be integrated.

NOTE:

If you need a bulk sms portal, I have one available for sale - it's brand new.

It comes with:
- FREE 1000 SMS units
