Can You Offer Mobile Subscriptions?

Posted by busViews on July 24, 2009

People who own their own businesses should always look for new ways to generate income. For example, a lot of people sell products on their website (such as ebooks or T-shirts) to get a little bit more revenue from their existing customers. One thing that you might want to look into if you own your own business is the possibility of offering mobile subscriptions to your customers.

Mobile subscriptions are simply subscriptions to services that people may receive on their mobile phones. Subscriptions to download music to a phone or to download mobile movies are the most common types of subscriptions. However, you can charge people for anything that they might download to the phone. You can also charge them for receiving text messages. You can find a creative way to do this to make some money.

For example, let’s say that you’re a freelance writer. You could offer a subscription for people to receive a daily writing tip or writing prompt via text. They pay for the service using SMS billing. You send the text to them each morning. It’s a little bit more money in your pocket and it doesn’t require a lot of work on your part. Thinking like this will help you increase your total annual profits.
