Greetings dear members of BlackHatWorld,
this is my Journy thread on the topic "SMS Sending".
In the following lines I'm going to list my expenses, average cost of sending, plans of monetization and much more.. It might be a long read for some as I tried to go as in-depth as possible. If there are any questions left, feel free to reply to this thread and I may, without giving away my whole setup and tricks, be able to help you with the matter!
I finally found the motiviation to do such journey thread, so here we go:
Basic requisites and current technical situation:
The base set-up of my SMS sending cost about $120 (excluded scripts as I coded them myselves); now, after the base costs, the average SMS will cost me about $0.003 or $3/k SMS.
At first, this sounds fantastic, though there are some flaws:
- From a coding point of view, I wasn't able to (yet) expand my messages above the 160 character limit. I've read some good documentations on how to implement 153 characters chunk breaking, but for now the limit is 160 characters.
- Another coding problematic: I haven't added anything standard GSM-7 text (some documentations if anyone wants to take a look: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GSM_03.38)
- Last but not least, there is no possibility to broadly send links in my SMS. I'm working with spintax to prevent spam detections and for now I've successfully managed to have a 100% delivery rate to iOS (except of invalid numbers obviously, but that's a matter of lead generation); to anything besides I noticed my links getting severely detected and thus the whole SMS not being delivered (tested on couple of Android-OS based devices). -> The best way is not to use any links, but to funnel them away from the SMS.
That's that - now to lead generation: What's my plan?
Not to spoiler anything, but I got a full sorted high qualitive database with over 70 data entries per user (database contains over 19 million people; international) - some "important entries" would be e.g. marritial status, age, children, race/ethnicity, household income and so on..
Final part: Monetizing the leads.
That's the part I'm struggling with right now. I don't have the best ideas on which platform to use as well as the whole traffic funnel setup.
I'm sure that I primarily try to guide them away from SMS to e.g. mail a social media account (e.g. Instagram, Facebook group, etc.) - though how shall I convince them "naturally" to leave their comfort zone from a SMS to go to e.g. sending me a mail or joining anything? How could I compose this message in a short matter of character? Which traffic network should I use? These are all left-opened questions I need to figure out myself!
I also thought about opening a JV on here to find someone with the necessary resources - advertising-wise, but for now I rather take a look myself.
"Financial overview":
Costs: $119.38
Revenue: $none
Profit: -$119.38
I'll keep you updated about new campaigns, ideas and problems so make sure to check on this thread regularily!
