So.
What can we do for you?
This is a simple, effective, zero risk opportunity for you to make money from premium rate telephone lines. There are no fancy promises of making millions overnight - you won't. What we do however, is offer the following.
|
1
|
No risk. You do not need to part with any money. We don't work like that.
|
2
|
Monthly call stats made available to you - so you can check progress. *
|
3
|
Stories, hardware, phone lines and admin are all OUR job and OUR cost.
|
4
|
We provide updated lists of stories you can choose to advertise.
|
5
|
You however need to be able to cut and paste text into a Web Page and upload it.
|
6
|
Traffic is also your job. The more traffic, the more calls. And the more money.
|
7
|
That's it, other than re-doing step 6 as often as you can.
|
* The main Telcos we use (Thus / YC etc) no longer provide fully itemised crediting, however
we are able to provide you with a monthly overview including total calls, duration etc.
Your lines will charge callers £1
per minute at all times
Initially our service is operating on a single flat rate of £1 per minute (including VAT) at all times. It is possible that we may consider other charge rates if enough members express an interest. However it has been our experience that cheaper numbers do not generate significantly more calls - and dearer ones generate considerably less.

Too good to be true?
No, not really.
If we have made this seem too good to be true, you have every right to be skeptical. The reality is we would like to see more traffic on our switch, in order to do that we can either advertise more or encourage others to do it for us. We do both. Partly because we like money and are not ashamed of the fact - and partly because we cannot advertise on as many private websites as we would like too - this is where you come in. You make money - and in the process, so do we.

Will I need lots of telephone numbers?
No - not with us, just one (given to you free)
This is one of the ways in which we have made such an impact in conventional advertising, we use only ONE premium rate telephone number per advert - sometimes with dozens of very different stories. Each story has its own 3-digit identification - or extension - number.
When the caller dials in, they are asked to enter the extension number they require, followed by *
The system then plays the selected story AND when it is finished, allows them to make another selection WITHOUT the need to re-dial. Brilliantly simple and it saves the caller time, saves us with dealing with hundreds of telephone numbers - and makes for smaller, more cost effective advertising.
The things you can do when you have the software written especially for you :)

Sounds too simple?
It isn't!
As for it being simple, it is - from your point of view. Almost everything has been setup already, leaving you with nothing more to do than sign up free, paste some adverts into a spare web page and see what happens. From our point of view, we have organized the recording of several hundred stories, edited them, digitized them, uploaded them to the switch and made them live, allocated extension numbers to them, invested in digital switches, paid for them to be located in a protected environment, had custom software written, negotiated deals and terms with Telcos - and almost everyone else in the Industry. There is a LOT of effort in making this work, but it is something that WE have done - and continue to do - rather than expect our members to do it.

How much do I make?
It varies
The short answer is that you get the bulk of the income, the exact amount depends on the level of traffic you bring in. If you advertise 5 stories on a page that only gets a few visitors a day we might pay you around 40p per minute for calls received. If however you generate thousands of minutes per month and run this like a proper business then we will pay you a higher rate to recognize your efforts and to further enourage you.
If you are UK VAT registered and you provide us with your VAT registration number we will add VAT to the outpayments we make to you. Rules for overseas VAT payments can vary, please contact us.
ALL VAT / Tax and other national or regional obligations that apply to you are YOUR responsibility, NOT ours. We pay you the gross amount and it is your duty to make whatever declarations are required. All payment details from us are submitted to our accountants and would be made available to any duly authorized authority for investigation, should they wish to see them. You HAVE been advised.
