PLEASE REVIEW BEFORE YOU BUY ANYTHING
The
most common question I get asked is: How can I make money
with an Internet Cafe? It is usually followed by: How do I
get started?
You would be amazed at how
many people actually believe the infomercials and scams in
local papers telling them they will make thousands of
dollars by installing one of their proprietary WiFi Kiosks.
Impossible! Do the math! You'll quickly see that for a $20K
investment, you will need hundreds of surfers daily to break
even! The road to profitability is simple - keep your costs
low and attract as many users as possible. (See

KIOSK
SCAMS: BEWARE OF FALSE CLAIMS
Unscrupulous business
dealings are everywhere! The folks at WHOTSPOT are the most
honest individuals you will ever meet. Our philosophy is to
grow the Dell way - provide the best customer service, pay
attention to detail and sell only the best products at the
lowest possible cost. The difference between us and the
other guys is that our revenue model is based on people
actually using the systems and solutions we sell. If people
don't use them, we make no money! Hence, our incentive is to
grow a satisfied customer base into the tens of thousands.

A U.S. district court judge has stopped
the allegedly illegal practices of an “Internet kiosk”

and their principals following Federal Trade Commission

investment. For a fee of $14,250 to $24,950, they could

HOW WHOTSPOT CAN HELP
if you have been scammed by an unscrupulous vendor, we might
be able to help you. Your expensive Internet Kiosk might be
converted to work on WHOTSPOT's backend for about $500.
Here's what you need to do:
-
Find a PC technician that can take the
machine apart.
-
Remove the WiFi router that's inside.
Seal off the CC reader and the Bill collector.
-
If it is PC-based, then install a
fresh copy of Windows Home edition on it.
-
Add one of our WiFi Gateways (the
WRT50 will do fine) this will replace the WiFi router
you pulled out.
-
Install a Kiosk Management Software to
lock down the computer and only allow users to browse
the internet. We sell KioWare Lite to do this.
The cost will be $399 for the WiFi
Gateway, $85 for the KioWare software, the cost of Windows
Home Edition if you do not already have it, + the time for
your PC technician to do the work.
You would then sign up for our Basic Plan
(included in the cost of the gateway) and pay us a $25
monthly maintenance fee. Each month, we will send you a
detailed sales report and 85% of the online revenue
collected.
