How did a successful proxy company make it?

1. Analyze your competitors. Look at those selling Pakistani proxies or proxies from other countries in your region. What are their prices? What advantages do they highlight? What kind of messaging do they use in their ads? This will give you a good idea of what strategies are working for others in your niche.
2. Evaluate your product’s technical quality and positioning. How does it compare to competitors? Are your proxies competitive in terms of quality? Can you compete on price? Most importantly, who is your ideal customer, and does your pricing make sense for them?
3. Find where your potential customers "hang out". Can you reach them on the same platforms? This could be BHW forums, specialized communities, Telegram groups, etc. Think about how you should present your offer in your ads. It’s not just about direct advertising -- sometimes, engaging authentically in communities (like many do on BHW) works even better.

Hello everyone!

Can anybody explain briefy how did any of these famous proxy providers become successful? Any smart tactics they used? I am mainly interested in knowing about getting clients through smart ways, if there's anything to learn from these big successful providers.

I will be selling Pakistani mobile proxies in the near future so I'm studying around.

I’d recommend following this general approach.

By combining steps 1, 2, and 3, you can "package" your proxy service in a way that makes sense in terms of quality, price, and messaging for your target audience. Essentially, this is the foundation of marketing analysis, which helps shape your strategy. Of course, this is a broad overview, but I hope it gives you a good starting point.

What is t he risk of doing this business? For example i live in Europe with strong IP providers, is it safe here or not?

• If you are using a self-hosted solution to set up proxies, you need to take care of this in advance (and also consider EU GDPR requirements, especially since you live in Europe).
• If you are setting up proxies using a third-party service, the task becomes easier, but make sure the service understands these nuances and can provide logs whenever needed to protect your interests. I don’t want to violate forum rules, so I will refrain from sharing links, but we have several blog articles from our lawyer on our website that explain these issues in more detail.

The main risk in the proxy business is that you (as an individual or legal entity) are the owner of the SIM card (or a rented server, if we are talking about datacenter proxies). This means that, by default, all online activity carried out under the IP assigned to your SIM card at that moment is considered your activity. And if something illegal happens, you will be the one facing questions.

This is an important risk, but it can be anticipated and mitigated in advance. All you need to do is keep logs just like mobile operators or ISPs do -- basic high-level records of activity through the proxy.

And besides that, there are many other useful rules: do not sell proxies to shady guys, warn new buyers about your rules, take at least minimal KYC measures, etc.
You can even sign a basic electronic agreement to keep everything legally perfect.
