STARTING A GSM SHORT CODE BUSINESS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE

Many of our lives are just like a revolving door - and how easy and comfortable it is to get caught in it. We spend years doing the same things over and over. We simply keep turning around and around. We prefer to operate within our comfort zone. It’s a natural instinct.

But if you take a good look at all of the successful people around the world, you will notice they all have one common denominator. They all became successful by going to the edge. And yes, my friend, the edge is no where near a revolving door. What’s the lesson here? Starting a GSM SHORT CODE BUSINESS could change your life.

GSM Short Codes are unique phone numbers assigned by value added service (VAS) service providers to interested entrepreneurs for the purpose of offering value added service (VAS) to millions of GSM subscribers across the country. Certain amount of money is deducted from the phone credit of the GSM subscribers that respond to it by text message. The money deducted is shared, according to the approved sharing formula between the VAS provider, GSM operators and the entrepreneur that operates the short code service. You are paid every 100days depending on the GSM operator and the volume of text messages or calls received from your short code. You could make between N1million – N10 million depending on the volume of text message and you make this money over and over again.

Shared Versus Dedicated Short Codes

With a Shared Short Code you choose your own unique Keyword but share the number (e.g. 60777) with other companies. With a Dedicated Short Code you own the number and so can create as many Keywords as you like.

There are hundreds of Short Code uses, here are just few:
