How to make money with Hotspot?
You make money every time someone walks into your Wi-Fi area and opens a
laptop or PDA computer. Here is how it works: Your equipment should be
configured as open and easily discoverable. This is what you
want - customers should find your Access Point easily and be
able to connect to it. They will type some URL (like www.google.com) in
order to start browsing, but instead of getting that page, they will be
redirected to your login page, which is displayed by
Microsolut HotSpot software. Customer have to buy one of the predefined
plans (access rights) and get his username and password. After login,
customer is redirected to the website initially requested. It's up to
you if the customer will pay in your office, restaurant, or online using
his/her credit card. In case of credit card payment, the amount is
collected from customer by your Credit Card processing company and
stored to your merchant account (account with processing company). These
companies charge a specified fee for credit card processing and
sometimes even yearly subscriptions. Some of the most used are
PayPal, Authorize.net, Sending SMS ,but there are many
other that offer additional services. A payment gateway company
transfers collected money to your bank account at the end of the month
or in similar time intervals. With the larger Wi-Fi network, home users
can access to the Internet from their desktop computers so you can also
start a wireless Internet service providing business
Make Money in non-working hours. And in working hours too !
If you run an Internet café, coffee shop, restaurant, a great profit
booster can be a wireless network. Things have changed over the past few
years and many people go on vacation with their laptop. Imagine that you
can duplicate profit of your 10 computers with an
initial cost of less than the cost of one new computer ! Yes, that's
true. The cost of one Access Point and HotSpot management software is
less than 400-500$, and it can serve as many customers as your Access
Point can serve. Best of all, it's automated, there are no maintenance
fee for computers, licenses for software and OS. Your cafe, showing your
Wi-Fi logo, will be more professional and will differentiate you in high
cybercafe competition. Create authentication tickets (with the login
username and password) in your HotSpot management software and sell it
in your Internet café or kiosk near your café. Your customers will be
able to use your services even when your Internet Café is closed. But
that's not all. Your wireless network will reach other people in
neighborhood. It's very likely that you will get requests for permanent
Internet access especially if they do not have broadband connection.
This will be your test bed for your next business - becoming a WISP (Wireless
Internet Service Provider).
