Income Tool Development Update

We are very, VERY close. We had a false start a few days ago and discovered a few more bugs to fix before releasing the first wave of licenses.

We continue testing, re-testing, debugging and improving all the modules of the Income Tool in preparation for its full launch.  Please be advised, we'll likely launch without the Facebook module because Facebook has been so slow in their review process.  All applications using Facebook API's must undergo scrutiny and approval by Facebook before they allow it to be deployed and access their data.

With that in mind, here's a current detailed development update of the modules that comprise the Income Tool (I bet you didn't know there were so many modules, right?).

• Income Tool Servers 
• 100% All new servers, up & running well

Income Tool Launch: WHEN?

The big question EVERYONE wants to know is WHEN?   

When will the Income Tool be for sale? When can we start using it? Sadly, we can't make a commitment because we only have a small development staff and limited development budget. But I'll tell you what we CAN say and that is . . . we are VERY VERY CLOSE TO LAUNCH DAY!  

When compared to the development cycle which started at the end of September 2014, I am confident in telling you all that we're estimating DAYS, not weeks or months before Income Tool Beta is deployed for the public and on sale. 

Income Tool Beta

Like virtually every launch of a software product, SAAS ("Software as a Service"), PAAS ("Platform as a Service) or mobile system, the initial version is dubbed "BETA".  Why?  

It's because prior to release all software goes through an "ALPHA" stage of testing.  In this phase, programmers and a few staffers and others put the software through its paces.  It's used and re-used, tested and re-tested, debugged and fixed countless times.  THAT'S what we have been doing through the whole month of January, part of December and the first few days of February.   

NOW, all the modules have been completed for the Income Tool. We've tested and debugged enough that we're getting close to the BETA stage.  BETA is the "live" environment.  This is the stage where YOU, our customers, get to use, judge and help us fine-tune the product by providing your feedback and bug reports.  

Inevitably, no matter how well we think it works in the lab, it's the real world where the refiner's fire of usage really perfects the hard work of the developers.  Real users have always had an uncanny ability to "break" almost anything labeled as software.  So, when you start using Income Tool Beta, please understand that this is the final development stage, NOT the final completion of the product.  You should expect that everything is not "perfect".  We ask all users to report bugs and issues so we can correct them as quickly as possible.  

We're thrilled to announce that sometime within the next several days, you'll be able to use this great product and start promoting income for yourself like never before!

New Income Tool Dedicated Server

One of the final phases before deployment was to get our new server online.  IT'S HERE!!!  The first server in what will ultimately become a server farm of many, many dedicated Income Tool servers was brought online yesterday.  It's in service and undergoing rigorous testing and final development as I write this article.  You'll notice that the login link from the Income Tool website, and also the registration page are both pointing to "myincometool.net" now.  This is our new server!  It's blazing fast compared to the development server.  

This is a SURE SIGN that we're ALMOST THERE with Income Tool development!

New SMS Platform

We're so thrilled to announce that this week we deployed our completely NEW SMS Platform.  This is a fantastic method to send bulk email all over the world at some of the lowest prices in the industry.  You can learn about bulk SMS on the Income Tool website.  If you're not yet using text messaging to promote your business, stay in touch with your downline, locate new customers and up-sell everything from soup to nuts, you're missing out.  

For only $60 annual subscription you'll get full access to our world-class WHOLESALE Bulk SMS Platform.  Check out the pricing and I think you'll agree, there aren't many places you can get rates like this for Bulk SMS. 

This is NOT a "beta" version.  It's fully debugged and is actively delivering millions of messages every day. This, together with our International and our Short Code SMS services are the most stable products in our arsenal.  

To get started, just complete the New SMS Client Registration form.  Then Pay your license fee and add funds to your account. If you're a business customer and not involved as an Associate, you can pay on our primary website.  If you're an Associate, just log into your back office to buy your Bulk SMS license and add funds to your account. Your login will be emailed to you, usually within an hour or two (during business hours).  You can start unrestricted use of the system immediately. 

Seeking Resellers

We're currently recruiting Resellers for our USA-based Short Code SMS Platform.  This is a very lucrative business opportunity for the right people. It's NOT the same as the Associate position, which is free for everyone.  This is a business-to-business sales position that requires a license fee.  We have areas available everywhere in the USA.  This is one of the best ways for an ambitious entrepreneur to create a nice, stable, 5-figure monthly income within 1 or 2 years of starting.  Once establish, your book-of-business can sustain you for years to come.  You can get more information about the Reseller position on the Income Tool website.  If you want to talk to the "head-honcho" directly, contact me at my email address so I can give you a call:  rich@voifone.com. 

What Happened to the BizOp Info?

You may have noticed all the business opportunity information on the Voifone website has completely disappeared!  Where'd it go? And why?

We removed all reference to earning money from Voifone.com for a simple reason.  This is a SALES website, geared for people who just want to use our products.  It's very important in the business world, that customers are NOT aware of how much commission and bonus is paid for the products they buy.  This is ESPECIALLY true when making commercial sales.  

Because we're moving into a phase where we'll have a strong emphasis on commercial sales of our bulk SMS system, we felt it was important that the opportunity surrounding Voifone and our products should be completely separate from the product sales information.  So we have beefed up the Income Tool website.  That site is 'ALL ABOUT' making money.  

So when you want to know about making money, visit the Income Tool website.  You'll find everything you need to make anything from a few extra dollars, to a full time professional career position. If you're only interested in our products, go to the Voifone website.
