Amazing opportunities exist in the GSM industry considering that over 45 million Nigerians struggle to buy GSM products as if their whole life now depends on it. Recharge card is one GSM product that every GSM user has not been able to live without. Right now, there are those who I consider addicted to recharge card. How else can one describe any one who spends an average of N6,000 daily on recharge card. That is about N180,000 monthly. You can only be addicted to spend so much money as that on recharge card in one month. But that is the case with some people already. No wonder recharge card business keeps booming amidst strong competition and so many call center operators across the country. May be you have wanted to know how you can tap into the money making opportunity in the GSM recharge card business but you don’t know how, here is your ticket to the mega opportunity in the GSM recharge card business for small investors. Although, I strongly recommend you also get the full detailed recharge card business manual from SADC Book store, but here is my no-holds-bar on printing GSM recharge cards for smart investor.
How to do recharge card business profitably directly with the GSM operators:
The GSM operators are more willing to recruit you as one of their recharge card merchant more than you are even willing to be, as more and more, old existing mega dealers are opting out and venturing into more tasking and financially demanding GSM business, they are frustrating the GSM operators recharge card distribution plan and just helping to making recharge card more profitable then it was in the opportunity created by these disappearing dealers have created a money making business for smart entrepreneurs like you to tap into. And here I will buy them bare, those, things you need to have in order to position yourself in this mega billion recharge card merchant business. The first I must tell you is money. You need to have a lot it to get the GSM operators to listen to you.
Although, the operator you are talking to may determine how much you may be looking for. For instance Glo may be asking for between N750,000 to N1.5 Million, while MTN may be asking for N1.5 Million and Celtel may just need you to have N500,000 to N750,000 only. However the many benefits are worth the money you may be investing. Like, 10 percent discount on recharge cards; 2 percent additional discount for transportation cost; up to 10% extra bonus on total volume of sales in 90 days if you hit your target and other fringe benefits like cars, houses, all expenses paid oversea travel trips etc. It can even get betters like free insurance policy for up to 10 cars (if you even have up to that number of cars yourself). I can go on and on, but all these and more can only be you if you are a recharge card merchant.
For Small Scale Investors:
The recharge card business n very profitable, you probably know too. But for one to make profit from the business you must have some appreciable amount to invest. Well, that amount may depend on how much you have. However, I put the minimum at N50,000. Don’t ask me what about someone who have only N30,000. Good, but you have to be ready to work extra hard to make your money work. That is not even to say that N50,000 is good enough, but like I said, that is my acceptable minimum amount you should start with. And don’t tell me know you don’t have a computer. I never even considered that in the N50,000, you need to have a computer by now if you are thinking of going into GSM recharge card printing business. Also, having your own internet is good, at least it will make you patronize one of my companies (FastWeb), but you can use the cafĂ© close by if you cant afford to invest extra N25,000 to acquire your own GSM internet connection starter pack from www.FastWebSMS.com.
Now, lets face the truth about GSM recharge card business, marketing. Although recharge card business is very lucrative and there are millions to make from it, what determines how much you can make is marketing. Don’t tell me because you are an Alaba boy you know marketing like Mike Peters know boxing. My brother, it’s not like that. But I know some us know how to market anything especially recharge card. The simple way to test your marketing prowess is to confirm how many recharge cards you are capable of selling within a day or week or even month to make the kind of income you may be targeting. Remember, nobody can actually say how much you can make from recharge card business. You can know that from how much recharge card you can sell. Let me explain that with your SDE newspaper. It’s sold for N100 per copy. If you want to make N100,000 income per week then you have to sell the required number of copies to be able to make that amount as your income. I hope this is all clear?
Really, I haven’t even said anything on how the printing is done. Well, it’s because there is actually no printing done. Surprised? That’s to show you how simple GSM recharge card printing is done. As far as I’m concerned, it sounds better to me like selling than printing. That is why I don’t see the printing as an issue. Anyone can print GSM recharge card once you have a computer and a HP laser jet printer installed, but not everybody can sell GSM recharge card. If I should recommend a follow-up material you should hurry to get now, is the manual: “8 sizzling Secrets of GSM Product Marketing Success”. But if your concern now is how to print it, here is my answer – get to the nearest GSM operators office close by. Well, that’s only if you have so much money to invest. But for small investors like you all you simply need now is the authorized GSM operators’ recharge card PIN marketers to buy the PINs that you will print and start selling.
Is that so? Is it legal? What if the PIN numbers are fakes? So many questions are popping up in your head right now. But let me answer those that really matter right now. This is one business that you can do and EFCC will not come after you. So it’s perfectly legal as long as you are getting your PIN numbers from the right sources. Don’t even think of it as fake. The PIN numbers are so protected that the first person that will ever seen it is you that printed it. The authorized distributor who sold it to you never saw the numbers because they are encrypted. Your authorized distributors are the GSM dealers near you, if you have one that is close by who is authorized by the GSM operators to sell recharge PINs. Don’t bother to ask how much you will be getting the recharge PINs. For a small investor the margin may just be around 10% or less difference on the retail price of the card.
