IntroductionI have a pretty unusual job. I’m a bounty hunter for phone numbers that make money. You probably didn’t even realize that a phone number could make money, not to mention ever think there would be someone that makes his living tracking down phone numbers like that. But I’ve done this for years for some of the biggest advertisers in the country and gotten many of the vanity numbers you see on TV and radio every day.I love my job and this business and I just want to help as many people as possible get great numbers that really do make money. There is probably a lot more to getting a good vanity number than you ever realized. It may seem overwhelming in some ways. I’ve tried to break it down and explain things as much as possible, but it does take some work. It can definitely pay off for you though, if you do what I’ve explained here and get a great number that really does make money for you and your business.When I first told a couple of the people in the vanity number business that I was writing this book they were very nervous. They thought I was crazy giving away the information that I’ve built my business on for the past 9 years, and I guess I am in a way. I just figured that there are a lot more prospects and potential than I could ever reach myself and the more people that get vanity numbers the more people will realize that they need a vanity number too.I like being a small business and really I don’t want to have a lot of employees. That’s why I decided to write that and share as much information and experience as possible in order to help as many people as possible. Sharing this much information will definitely ruffle some feathers but I’ve always provided a lot more information on my website than anyone else. Now I’m just taking that a step further.

Some of this is available on my websites or in past issues of my newsletter but nobody has ever put anywhere near this much useful information about toll free numbers together in one place. It’s a lot of information but I really hope it can help you get a phone number that will make money for you and your business. All I ask is that if you get a good number you let me know and then that you advertise and promote it as much as possible.

Several people have suggested that I should sell the book for $400 to $500 and I admit that it is certainly worth that for anyone that puts it to use. Maybe several times that for anyone that gets a good number. But putting a price like that on it would limit the number of people I can help with it. Part of me wanted to make it FREE so I could reach as many people as possible. I finally compromised, making the first book free to allow it to be distributed to the widest possible audience, and making the next book pretty cheap and only keeping the last book more expensive to prevent my best strategies for number negotiation and transfers from getting too widely circulated. That way only people that wind up getting or selling valuable numbers have to pay the higher price for that more advanced help.

One of the most interesting things about the phone number business is that the small individual has just as much opportunity as a big company to get a good number. Phone numbers are required to be given out on a first come first served basis, so anyone with an idea or that just happens to be in the right place at the right time, can wind up with a valuable number if they know how to do it. It takes a little work, and a little luck, but there are a lot more opportunities available now than there are people to develop them. So if you are creative and understand marketing, you should definitely see what possibilities there are in your area.

My ultimate goal is to help you find the best possible phone numbers
that literally make money for you and your business 24 hours a day!

Executive SummaryThis book is fairly long because I’ve tried very hard to be thorough and explain everything I could to help anyone get the best and most valuable phone numbers possible. You may want to skip over sections that aren’t necessary or appropriate for your business. I’ve also made this shorter overview for busy entrepreneurs because starting a new business requires an awful lot of time and work.If you don’t do much advertising and just want the best deal on the cheapest non-vanity toll free service for just 2.85ў/minute go to www.800Numbers.com or use the “Where to go for a Toll Free Number” section on pages 17 to 20 here for a wider variety of options.This book is mainly written for small to medium sized businesses that do a significant amount of advertising because that’s where the right phone number is extremely valuable. Your phone number is your front door to new business and an attractive front door will always generate more customers and sales for anyone in marketing. There’s a lot of information about toll free numbers in the first section.You should start by trying a couple names in the Vanity Number Lookup tool at TollFreeNumbers.com. If you find something good, you can sign up for it right online and you’ll own the number directly with no extra cost and you can get on with the rest of your business. Keep track of the names you try or just enter your email when you leave to get a list of them with the results emailed to you. Your first choice or first couple names are usually easy to come up with but if you don’t find what you really want, the very MOST IMPORTANT thing you can do is to be more creative and try as many different options as you can. There are also several links and things that you can do to come up with all the best possible options.

After that, try calling the numbers you really want. If it goes to a real customer, they’re the only ones you can give you that number. You could talk to the owner especially if it’s a small residential user. The best ones to pursue are numbers that don’t go through to anyone (the disconnected, not in service, invalid or unable to be completed as dialed and fast busy numbers) because they obviously don’t require someone to change their advertising and reprint everything and they may even be able to get it from the phone company.

If you find a number that you really like, I’ll email you back with the name and phone number of the carrier that’s responsible for the number if you email me at resporg@tollfreenumbers.com with “resporg=” and the 10 digit number you want as the subject. Contact the phone company with the number and see what information you can get on it. They may be able to help you or give you some more information.

If you still need more help, I have a private investigator that can get you the customer name and address. If that still doesn’t get it for you, I may be able to help you dig deeper. I come up with great numbers for important projects, even when everyone else says they’re not available.

That is the quick overview of how to dig deeper than the surface level answer to get the best possible number for your business. There is a lot more here, including tons of information about toll free numbers, local vanity numbers, what numbers to look for and how to come up with more options, how to find the right phone company, how to talk to them or the customer, how to negotiate or transfer a number, how to make money off of wrong numbers, tips, tricks, what to watch out for and even how to make money with this free book.

I’ve really tried to make this an extremely valuable resource for anyone in marketing. If you have any questions or need more help I’ll be glad to help you, but my only request is that you at least look through the book first so that I don’t have to repeat things that are covered in the book. Don’t throw your advertising dollars away trying to get your prospects to remember a random number. Read this book and you’ll learn exactly how to increase the response rate of all your advertising for the life of your business.
