OnALot.com's Bronze Affiliate Program

A Bronze Affiliate is very different from the Gold and Silver Affiliate programs. OnALot.com will own and operate the business from our end. We will contract with the phone company for high speed lines, and with the owner of the tower for tower space. We will assume all the necessary costs to build and maintain the system, but, we will expect you to find the required tower(s) for the equipment to be mounted on, and to install the equipment on that tower - you are familiar with your area, and will be able to assess which towers will offer the best results.

You will become an Authorized Wireless Installer, and your function will be to find new customers, install their equipment and do any required maintenance on that equipment - for a fee to the customer. You will bill and keep the money for these installations, including the profits to be made.

Once the customer is installed, OnALot.com will assume all support issues, billing, email services and so on. They will become a direct customer of OnALot.com.

You will need to climb towers, such as a Water Tower, Radio Tower and other similar high places. A climbing belt / safety harness is needed, along with shoes that provide good traction. You will need ropes and pulleys to bring up the radio box, antennas and wiring.

Tools: You will need box, ratchet and adjustable wrenches, screwdrivers, a portable drill and an AC powered drill with drill bits. You'll also need masonry bits to drill through brick walls.

You will need to have a good working knowledge of Windows-based PC's. Your customers will require either a PCI based installation, where you open the computer's case and install a wireless PCI card, or, an ethernet based system, where the wireless radio is a standalone box usually mounted near the antenna, with a CAT-5 cable run to the computer's ethernet port.

All installations will require some soldering. The antenna to radio coax connection is done with connectors that are soldered at the center pin, and crimped on the shield. Therefore a heavy duty soldering iron, solder, and a crimper are needed.

You'll need a vehicle capable of carrying all your equipment plus a ladder. We recommend a 24' extension ladder, but a 20' or 16' will do for most situations. We have found that the 24' ladder and a 6' stepladder make the best combination to cover just about all circumstances.

You will be climbing on customer's roofs - a lot of them in fact. Wireless Internet is done using microwaves in the 2.4 gHz radio band. Microwaves are line-of-sight, meaning, from the customer's roof, you must be able to see the transmitting tower. Bring binoculars for the long distance installs.

You will need a laptop computer to take up on a customer's roof, along with an antenna to do signal checks.

The ideal Bronze Affiliate candidate is a Ham Radio operator, Cell Phone technician, or other individual familiar with and comfortable around radio equipment and computers. If you have a fear of heights, this will be a problem for you. You may need to hire someone to do the "way up there" stuff.

What are your costs? The initial setup of your business will cost you:

Purchase of all tools, vehicle, ladders (if you don't already have them)
Purchase of equipment that the customer will purchase from you. You'll need to have at least 5 full installation's worth of parts on hand at all times in order to meet what your customer base will hit you with.
Advertising material to promote your business.

We estimate that you can get up and running with $500 - $1000 as your initial investment. Depending on the number of customers you can find, you should get your return on investment in 4 - 6 months and be profitable thereafter.
