Earning money via SMS is most often associated with various scams and greetings from places of detention. Indeed, deception of gullible cellular subscribers is practiced by a contingent of pre-trial detention centers and colonies. But there are also honest ways. For example, accepting payment, including by SMS, for goods and services sold over the Internet.
It is necessary
- - a computer;
- - access to the Internet;
- - the site with which you plan to carry out sales;
- - payment aggregator services.
Instructions
Step 1
If you are planning to sell goods or services over the Internet using your own website, the services of so-called payment aggregators may be useful to you. This is the name given to various systems for accepting payments via the Internet. As a rule, aggregators offer a choice of several payment methods, including SMS. And if you are interested in this particular option, those who work with it will have to limit the range of their preferences. However, most of the well-known and popular aggregators work with SMS from numbers belonging to the Big Three operators: MTS, Beeline and Megafon.
Step 2
When you have selected several aggregators that work with SMS payments, carefully study and compare their terms. What matters is the percentage charged by them for their services, the procedure and terms for withdrawing money to your account (for someone it is possible once a month or not less than a certain amount, others list at the first request), requirements for participating sites, etc. aggregators like to call partners online stores. Don't let that scare you. They use this word in a broad sense, meaning any site that serves its owner as a sales tool and allows you to pay online.
Step 3
Having settled on a specific aggregator, register on its website. Employees of the company you have chosen will study your Internet resource and report on the decision. In most cases, it is positive, since the requirements for participants are minimal. Typically, the site should contain the name of the company, information about the goods or services, and your contact details (in practice, an email address may suffice). After approving your site, you must link to it on the payment acceptance form. If you plan to accept payment only by SMS, indicate on your resource the numbers and information that the user should send in the message.
Step 4
Sign a contract with the aggregator. Usually, this requires downloading a standard form from his website, printing it in two copies, having previously entered your data in the right places, sign it, seal it if available (usually aggregators withdraw money to the settlement accounts of individual entrepreneurs, and with those who do not have this status, are calculated through electronic payment systems) and send to the address indicated on the website.
You will most likely be able to receive the first money from the aggregator after he receives a signed contract from you, but before the mail delivers your copy signed by him to you.
