In this editorial, I'll cover the benefits of getting in to the mobile phones business, and highlight the areas within that industry that will likely be the most lucrative in years to come.

Today, in 2008, the number exceeds 3 billion. Add in the fact that Americans now spend over $10 billion per month on their mobile phones bills.

First, let's take a look at the history of the numbers. mobile phone connections exceeded 1 billion  a few years ago. It took roughly 20 years to get there. Then, from 2002-2005, it doubled to 2 billion total connections. So, it took 20 years to get to 1 billion, then  3 more years to hit 2 billion.

The lesson is clear: mobile phones and associated industries are experiencing explosive growth worldwide. This is definitely a great field within which to own a business!

Online vs. Offline

Starting an online Business of Mobile Phones, on the other hand, is something virtually
somebody can do. Your investment to get started will be much smaller - a few hundred vs. thousands of dollars. You won't need employees or add substantially to your existing overhead expenses. and there will be no inventory to stock and keep track of.

you have seven basic choices when it comes to starting a mobile phones business: online or offline. A traditional bricks-and-mortar store will need major start-up capital, employees, and overhead expenses that will easily total in to the thousands monthly. Unless you have considerable backing or are flush with disposable income, this may not be a feasible option.

What To Sell

Your first thought is probably to sell the mobile phones themselves, and that's certainly a viable option. Accessories are as well as a major part of the equation for plenty of online mobile phone businesses. But there's one aspect of the mobile phone industry that can be the most lucrative: service plans.

The key benefit of income from service plans is their passive nature. In other words, finding a way to tap in to a portion of a mobile phone user's monthly bill payments means earning ongoing, residual income month after month - without having to do extra work month after month.

Start a mobile phones business that features income from users' monthly payments, and you may be well on your way to a very lovely living.
