How to Earn Cashback on the Internet Selling M’sia Using Simplify’s WiFi Router – Wired PR Lifestyle Story

[This is a sponsored article with Simplify.]

Monthly expenses on the Internet can be costly, especially for small businesses that do not take full advantage of their bandwidth or, in most cases, take advantage of those who have to work.

Some large coffee chains make the most of WiFi users by asking for their email and contact information, but Simplify has another solution.

They offer an internet bandwidth sharing service that turns any WiFi business provider into an internet service provider.

Let me explain. Simplify Smarter WiFi Peer-to-peer internet sharing is basically a way to sell your WiFi bandwidth to other users of the Simplify app.

All you have to do is pay for what your customers use, and you get a refund for a portion of your internet bill.

But public places offer free WiFi … right?

Yes, it’s free in some places, so why should people start charging for WiFi?

To answer this, we asked Yen Pei Tay, CEO of Simplify. He said: “The use of free and open WiFi poses an absolute risk of cybersecurity, especially when WiFi providers have to provide their WiFi security keys to the public.

“Simplify applies its own dual encryption mechanism to further protect WiFi credentials, making it difficult to crack.”

He added that Simplify does not store or forward passwords for WiFi, similar to the Payment Card Industry (PCI) standards for managing our credit card data online.

Well, as they say, nothing in life is free.

How Simplify Smarter WiFi works

You will remember my colleague Rikco’s opinion product 2020 and its experience implementation It was easy to simplify. It requires the following steps:

1. Sign up for an account using your Google or Facebook account
2. Link your bank account to receive your payments (now Stripe is also supported)
3. Set up a WiFi hosting session by typing your router’s MAC address, then Simplify Smarter WiFi will create a username and password.
4. Get your customers to download the Simplify app and connect to your Simplify WiFi network
5. Start earning daily cashback

Now, the fifth step is the most fun, as your customers only pay RM1 for every 1 GB of Internet they use. Simplify takes a 20% discount, so you basically earn RM0.80 per GB of internet sold.

How Smart WiFi Can Help Businesses

Suppose you run a small coffee shop, family home, or beauty salon, you can offset a portion of your WiFi bill by allowing customers to pay for the internet they use.

You can also lower the prices of your offer, as the cost of the Internet does not include the price of the products.

Customers who do not need to use WiFi will enjoy a cheaper experience, and customers who need Internet access will only have to pay for what they use.

To see how much you can deduct from your bill if you sell online, take this hypothetical scenario as an example:

Your unlimited fiber plan costs you RM99 a month, and a customer stops by your coffee shop for lunch and a half-season binge-watching. Squid Game in a seat. Since each episode is about an hour long, he uses it 3 GB if it sees HD in every section of your internet.

And if he sees the last five episodes of the session (episode 8 is only 30 minutes), this client will have to pay RM13.50.

Of this amount, RM 10.80 is for you (80%), which is almost 11% of your monthly internet bill.

Yen Peik told us that the highest amount of money a Simplify seller earned in a month was RM778, so you can technically get your money back if your business has enough pedestrian traffic.

Set it up in a room full of bored students and your small business ISP can receive a decent amount of moolah.

An easy way to start selling on the Internet

If you don’t have a router or Internet subscription, you can also get a Simplify Starter Pack that includes a Huawei 4G Router 3 Pro pre-installed with an already configured Smarter WiFi, so you don’t have to go. through the configuration processes mentioned above.

To use the router, connect to a power source, insert a nano-SIM card with the data, and have your customers scan the QR code associated with your router.

According to the Simplify product group, the router supports 64 devices that are connected at the same time.

We asked Simplify Customer Success Manager Shir Ley Chan to give us examples of real businesses that use the Simplify Starter Pack and mentioned Soymi, a Soymi based on router portability, to supply its internet. customers.

Then, Nasi Vanggey Ipoh also appreciates that they don’t have to write WiFi passwords on paper for their customers, instead of connecting to the network using the Simplify app.
