Many people pay lipservice to marketing. No business online or offline can thrive without a marketing plan to attract and keep paying customers. How many people in bulksms business go in there with a well thought out business and marketing plan. Business skills need to be developed by anyone venturing into any business, bulksms inclusive. Most Nigerians think in seven figures, but you cant run if you have not learnt to walk. There is a lot of money to be made in Bulksms,but you have to start from the hundreds to the thousands of Naira before you think of the millions. The challenge is that most people have a get rich quick mindset and they dont see the potential in any business that does not promise seven figures in 30 days. With over 70 million Nigerians with mobile phones its a huge market. Churches, small businesses, etc need this services, You only need to think and ideas will come. With the coming of mobile phone autoresponders the market is enlarging. I enjoyed the post and comments. We need a new mindset on wealth vreation , lets drop the get rich quick mindset, you must not drive an escalade or Rangerover sport in your first year of Bulksms business The truth about making money is that you must have the ability to attract enough paying customers.

I would continue researching on this and might start selling bulk SMS for campaigning politicians. This sounds promising here since election is coming this may here.

Haven't seen their reseller platform yet but I'll give them a call to see. Seems like Bulk SMS definitely will make sense as a part time business. Using 5okobo.com Seems pretty fast and easy to use.

I called the BBN bulk sms coy and I discovered that I can buy the service at the rate of N2.65 which allows me to make up to N1 per sms if I am reselling. @forex_noobtrader

With effort one can make money in the biz. Posters have forgotten tha N1 profit on N3 is more than 30% and that is not bad. No deterioration of raw materials, and your finished product cannot get bad. To me it is a safe business. Either of Fastweb and BBN will soon hear from me soon. @ NaijaEcash Write a memo to your bank today and tell them you do not need sms alert especially little transactions. You can give them limit. Tell them to send email as you are on the net daily you will not lose anything. If a big withdrawal gets to your acct, your relationship manager should confirm with you on phone. These bankers are leeches. Keep up the job. I love it. @ Chinedu’

I guess your comment is one of the longest I've ever seen on this blog. At first I thought it was one of those copy and paste comment from the freebie naija brothers. But after reading through, I was happy that it was a sincere personal view of the topic. Back to the topic of bulk SMS reseller. I agree with you that it is possible to make good return from bulk SMS. However, it requires coughing out a huge investment. For example, The cheapest I've seen since I started picking interest in bulk SMS reselling is 2.96naira per unit. However, to get that, the SMS reseller will need to buy at least 50,000 units. My basic arithmetics tells me that is a whooping 148,000naira (about $987) investment. To non-nigerians, that is a chicken change. But bros, let's be realistic, too many naija brothers and sisters are still scare of the yahoo-yahoo story about internet business (no thanks to all the scammers peddling fake info-products in Nigeria). So convincing any of them to part with such amount of money will require more than marketing skill ;-) Nonetheless, with the little experience that I've had as a bulk SMS user, I must agree that it is about the cheapest means of communicating in Nigeria for now. It is cheap, fast and it covers a wider market. When I get my acts together, I will surely start a bulk SMS reseller business. ;-) So consider me a convert already won! @Chinedu

I just want to clarify some things said about bulksms business in this blog. As an investor, I may sound defensive but I will like to be close to the truth as much as possible, and with facts where necessary. I'm defending some issues raised in some comments by some members regarding profitability of bulksms business and using customers money to run the business. Nobody can deny the fact that bulksms like most other businesses is a profitable one. For someone to say that the profit is a piece meal sounds too weak to be true. What the commentor fails to note is that he never considered marketing. Most Nigerian entrepreneurs do the same mistake and never take marketing to heart. Their understanding of marketing is a bit shallow. They seem to know what to do about marketing but never get it right. That is what my friend should have considered. Also, bulksms business must be considered as a subscriber based service that requires a long time investment to build, and not an overnight investment. Although, a short time profitability may not be totally overlooked. Its possible, because some bulksms resellers have hit gold in a short time winning a big client with hundreds of thousands in sms volume from a single client. making it possible for them to turn in good profit from the beginning of their business. It can take good 6 to 12 months to build a profitable bulksms business that can guarantee over N1 million profitability. But the question is how many entrepreneurs wait for such time to start earning good money. They are in a hurry and so never make it. At fastwebsms.com we have trained many successful bulksms entrepreneurs on our platform. Its based on the same idealogy of being able to endure and build a viable bulksms business. However, for the idea of using customers money to run your bulksms business is not really a good idea. But if you must do so, then you must be very careful. I recommend you work with a gateway here in Nigeria so you can place your order and get it same day. But using clients money to serve him can only work with a big client. Remember that bulksms price advantage is from bulk purchase. I rest my case. But finally, let us just ask ourselves, what business doesn't have potentials? It only depend solely on the one who does the business. And if you can do it, get the right knowledge so you can do it much better and faster enough to gain the better advantage that it has to offer.

Really their service is ok, but then, like you pointed out I wish they will incorporate a java script that will enable their subscribers send bulk SMS from their phone. For now, one is limited to the computer platform. Concerning my banker. It is against my blog-policy to print name of offenders, individual or corporate bodies. Print such name can really create bad publicity. Afterall they are still my banker, if I give them bad publicity and they go under, then I won't be complain about the charges they force on me for SMS alert, I will be crying about my life savings that is in their coffers, lol. So bear with me, however, I can send their name to you offline if you still wish to know. :-) @Chuks

I was only looking to see what their services was like. I'm yet to receive my activation code though. BTW do they offer a java application for phones with which these sms can be sent or is it just a pc platform thing? Thanks for the invite. I was only looking to see what their services was like.

It is called rip-off. It is ridiculous that they are now using SMS alert as a revenue generating tool. That is not suppose to be so. In normal situation, the SMS is meant to be free since we already pay for the services they are rendering via all those numerous charges they post into customers accounts. I personally consider it cheating, using SMS to generate revenue from unsuspecting customers. Last week, I received an SMS from my banker that they will henceforth charge 10naira per SMS. That means, they are generating about 6.5naira per SMS they send out. Depending on how busy your account is, you can receive as much as 100 SMS alert per month. That means you will pay 1,000naira beside whatever other charges you are already paying. It is quite unfair. @Chinedu
