Frogfoot Wifi, Everyone can earn money
Frogfoot, are not just happy settling for a cool name and a funky logo, they now offer just about anyone to own a WIFI hotspot and bill customers while at the same time offering agents who refer wifi operators a chance to earn commission. Everyone gets a slice of the pie. Technically, frogfoot is not a startup since they have been in business since 2000 but since this is a unique business model, it warrants coverage.
The hotspot agent refers customers and receives 20% commission on profit for the first year while the operator receives 70% commission. This is a unique proposition and i like the idea and it remains to be seen if it is sustainable for everyone involved. They could also get the Hotspot user in on the sharing with a few tweaks, which should drive usage:
- Free megabytes sponsored by companies for the users, in return customers could complete a quick survey
- A loyalty scheme for high traffic users or tie up with other companies to offer discounts on products and services

Thanks for your comments and ideas about involving the end users. As you can imagine Frogfoot’s focus is on growing our network of hotspots at this point, but I like your ideas.
no problem, best of luck with that!
