Easy To Set Up
To set up a competition service is quite simply. You don't need to build a massive service that asks loads of different questions. You need to keep it simple - and as we know simple always works.

The easiest type of telephone competition service to operate is a prize draw competition. Such competition need to follow these guidelines;

* only offer one prize - for example a DVD player
* callers dial an 090 premium rate number - the message lasts no more than 2 to 3 minutes.
* callers are charged at the rate of £1.50/min - you receive an income of £1/min.
* the callers are asked to answer one trivia question and then leave their answer - together with their name and address after the bleep coming up
* you must inform the callers when the closing date is - eg. Friday 1st May.
* callers then leave their details on the Premium-Rate-Number.com telephone computers
* Premium-Rate-Number.com then forward onto you via email - all these messages in a WAV sound file.
* you then pick a winner when the competition reaches its closing date - and send the winner their prize. 

	FACT - 80% of people who enter competitions are women.
	Telephone Competitions Make Mega-Money You will have no doubt seen premium rate competitions advertised on the TV and in the newspapers. The obvious one is "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire". Do you realise that in 2003 this single TV program generated in excess of £30 million in premium rate revenue alone. And that's just one TV program - there are loads of them. Telephone competitions are such an easy way to make BIG money.
			Promoting Your Competition Service The great thing about running a telephone competition service is that you can promote it just about anywhere - local newspapers - leaflet drops - notice boards - internet web-sites etc.
	What Is My Potential Income ? For every phone call you receive you will be paid £1/min. This means that if you received only 100 calls a day your income would be; Potential income per minute is:  100 calls x £1/min = £100.00 Average call duration is 2 minutes long: 2 mins x £100.00 = £200.00 Potential income per month is: £200.00 x 30 days = £6,000.00 And your annual potential income would be:  £6,000.00 x 12 months = £72,000.00/year * all for just 100 calls a day *
	What About The Prizes You need to decide what prizes you wish to give away. Some of the most popular prizes to give away are day to day items everyone uses eg. dishwasher - TV - camcorder - even cash. Don't waste your time putting up a speedboat or a Ferrari as a prize - as no one will believe it!  But remember whatever prizes you decide to give away - you have to supply them.
	What Rules Must You Comply With As with any premium rate service you must fully comply with the ICSTIS Code Of Practise. This is available from www.icstis.org.uk . Please download this - read it and make yourself aware of the rules. Failure to comply with ICSTIS rules can result in your service being shut down and/or a fine being imposed. To run a prize draw competition - you don't need any gambling licenses. But what you must have is a question in your script to - this then ensures your competition is a game or "skill" and not a game of "chance". You must also be able to supply the prize you have offered - even if you don't end up making a profit.
