It is necessary
- - a computer;
- - access to the Internet;
- - business ideas;
- - funds to pay for the services of the aggregator company.
Instructions
Step 1
Determine the type of activity that you would like to offer through the SMS service. Perhaps these will be download links. For example, a user decided to download a program for his computer. On the site, he clicks on a link, and he is asked to enter a password, which can be obtained by sending an SMS message to a specific short number. Or maybe it will be collecting donations or paying for utilities via SMS - there can be many options.
Step 2
Make a business plan for your idea (you will need it for the number registrar).
Step 3
Register as a legal entity with the tax office.
Step 4
Contact the aggregator company. These organizations sell beautiful and short mobile numbers, they have contracts with many mobile operators, so a user of any network can easily send an SMS message to your number. Aggregator companies will take 5-10% of the cost of each message sent by the user, and the mobile operator's premium will be up to 45% of the amount spent by the communication user. In this company, you need to write an application for registration of a number, and this will require a ready-made business plan, because there are many scammers that aggregators refuse to work with. By the way, mostly sellers of short numbers work only with individual entrepreneurs.
Step 5
Go to your personal account on the website of the aggregator company. By concluding an agreement with an organization that registers short numbers, you will get access to your personal account on the website of this very company. In your personal account, you can track the level of your income. In addition, the aggregator company will give you a room rental agreement, which will detail the process of exchanging your script with the aggregator script. What does it mean? The user of the mobile network sends an SMS message to the number you are renting. SMS is received by the aggregator. If necessary, the aggregator transfers the received information about the user to your script so that the program can generate an access code, for example, to the same link for downloading the program. The automatically generated code is again transferred to the aggregator script, which sends it in a response SMS message to the user.
