I am looking to set up a phone tipping business, though I do not know where to start. Do any of you have advice as who to contact to set this up.

Hi,

Contact Telads who are service providers.
The owners of this site abandoned phone tipping services years ago. There's no money in it. We've also talked to some other phone tipping operators - they just break around even after costs.

1. You have to pay 100% for all the advertising to get people to phone you.

2. You then have to share your phone income with service providers - say Telads AND Telstra. So for an $11 call you might end up with $6.

3. Despite impressions to the contrary, hundreds of people do not phone these numbers.

4. You're dealing with a very transient and jumpy market. One or two losing weeks in a row and you end up with virtually no calls.

Cheers, Neil.

Thankyou Neil, some very good points. I agree with you that after a couple of off days the calls may dry up, certainly makes sense.I may still look into it a bit further though, thankyou for this handy advice.
