INTRODUCTION
In this IT era, vast
opportunities abound for those that really want to make it in life. The present
IT revolution – invention of mobile phones and IT gadgets, has opened up a
vista to the world of entrepreneurship that had hitherto been limited. Today,
with minimal capital, you can virtually become your own boss, working from the
comfort of your bedroom. One of these areas is RECHARGE VOUCHER PRINTING.
You have probably come across this subject on the
internet. Some would promise you a “Shangri lar” world of business with neither
sweat nor risk; a situation of all profit and no loss. Misinformation can be
very frustrating and has been the doom of many a business. In this material,
the whole truth would be opened up to you. You shall see the risks associated
with this kind of business, and the common mistakes people make based ludicrous
assumption, and then prepare yourself for them.
Before now, printing and selling of GSM recharge vouchers
had been a business reserved exclusively for the big distributors. But now all
that have changed, it’s all about who is interested. You may consider this: a
recent survey showed that recharge cards are the fastest selling product in the
country - only second to “pure water” consumption. With the insatiable demand
for more cards each day, imagine how lucrative investing in the business could
be. As such, you have no need to fear loss – the demand is never dropping, and
you can always control your market.
Like every other business, it has
its risks, but you can always overcome he risks by following these guidelines.
TOOLS FOR GETTING STARTED
Before you start, you’ll need a
computer, printer, and software that generate the pin numbers. Or, if you do
not have any of these, you can print yours with the use of an ORANGE BOX.
Your computer need not be
connected to the internet. You can always go to a cyber café and copy the PINS
that will be sent to your inbox from your dealer.
As for the printing, you can use
colored or black and white printer. To even add variety, you can designate a
particular colour of paper for each network.
When you register with a dealer,
you will be given the software among other tools for this business. Some
dealers do give out the software free, whereas others sell it. So, in choosing
a dealer, you have to take this into consideration also. Sometimes, the
softwares can be gotten free at business seminars and presentations. These
softwares are always secured with a LOGIN and PASSWORD feature. However, you
have to be careful if you are using a shared computer, to avoid password
hacking.
On the other hand, you can print
recharge vouchers without a computer or the software mentioned above. There are
dealers out there that can issue you an orange box with which you can print
your vouchers. This machine looks similar to those used in fast-food
centres like FOODAFFAIRS, MR. BIGGS, etc, to print receipt. This machine
can operate with battery; hence you can print the recharge vouchers without
electricity!
GETTING STARTED
After you had got you computer
and printer ready, you can choose a Dealer around you. However, before you
choose a leader, you have to look for one whose terms and conditions would be
more favourable to you. Some Dealers only sell a minimum of 1000 units of pins
for any particular denomination of card, whereas some may sell as low as 500 units.
So you have to take cognizance of these because this would determine your
startup capital.
For instance, if a Dealer’s
minimum sale is 1000 units, and you would want to start with N100 MTN, then
you’ll need at least N100, 000.00 as
startup. Remember, in order to make maximum profit out of this, make sure you
have enough startup capital hat would allow you to make a considerable profit margin.
Most seminar facilitators would promise you bliss and super ordinary success
with capital as low as N10, 000.00.
Here, I can not promise you that. Do not be misled; misrepresentation of
information can be very frustrating and is the cause of fall of many a
business. You have to invest big for maximum returns. Budget a minimum of N200, 000.00 if you really want to make
something out of this business.
After you have chosen your
Dealer, you can then proceed to go online and register on the Dealer’s website.
They will provide you with the necessary setup tools and technical advice.
You can then pay for the pins.
After payment, the PINS shall be sent to your email address. Copy them and save
in a Microsoft word or notepad in your flash drive or desktop. Thereafter, you
can print the PINS using the software you have been provided with. The software
usually has a USER GUIDE to take you
through the process of printing. It is very easy to use. You may inscribe your
business name on the voucher.

vouchers, you have to strategize means of selling off your cards. Now, you are

in your area.

this. If make N3.00 per voucher, then in a month, you can make minimum of N30,
000.00 by selling 1000 vouchers (i.e. 100 packs) a month.
