Short Code Business:
You can buy a shared short code and start a “Leased Shared Short Code Business”.
When you buy a shared short code, you can use your keyword to set up three or more messages for others to trigger a specific respond.  It’s like renting space to others on your Short Code and it’s a perfect solution for small businesses.
By doing this, you are the content carrier (landlord), while those that rent space with you are content provider (tenant).
As content carrier (landlord) that leased out shared short code, you will be given username and password to access control panel. Which you will use to set the messages to receive and reply using your keyword.
Immediately the message is sent to the short code number, there will be an auto reply, while you have to forward the details to content provider (tenant) email for follow up to the client that sent messages to the short code number.
altYou can charge them for setup cost and monthly charges, while you share operator payout at an agreed ratio.
 Bulk SMS Business:
Bulk SMS is now becoming a mainstream tool for thousands of businesses - large and small. Everyone from blue chip multinationals to local chip shop. If you have not considered SMS communication or you have dismissed it as spam, expensive or intrusive. You are missing out on perhaps the most powerful communication channel currently available.
Bulk SMS simply means text message advertising. It is a process whereby adverts are sent in form of text message to GSM subscribers. Due to increase number of GSM users, bulk SMS is now the preferred means of advertising and reaching out to people by corporate organizations, companies, churches, mosques, societies etc.
To start bulk SMS business you can buy a reseller system which will come with domain name, 500 MB of hosting space for 1 year, 10 emails, 2000 bulk SMS, control panel with username and password and ability to design your website yourself with content management system which will allow you to copy and paste text, upload picture and edit your website as you wish.
