SMS2Profit as a Nano Start-up Business

This write up was as a result of my Nano start-up (SMS2Profit.com) which launched in October 2016 (Last Year), I am trying to share my view of what its like to run such start-up most especially in this part of the world. It was started with the aim of providing SMS services for personal and business use, and importantly promoting SMS marketing among small business. It wasn’t started to make profit or to run as a full time business which led to the negligence of it for some time, now I think I understand better now. The core of the Software development was started as far back as 2015 immediately after my (Mandatory One Year) NYSC service, and was abandoned for my Web Development Consulting service.
