HydEpages Platinum Package
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. People come to us to pay just Rs 100/- but you want me to pay more? A. It is good that you asked us this question. We’ll be happy to answer it for you in detail. When you pay Rs 100/- for the other party, the returns on that investment is just about less than Rs 10/- for you, assuming they will be in business and serve it for one full year. When you pay Rs 2,999 /- to us, you are going to get Rs 1,37,075 /- value in returns per year. Your returns would be lot higher at Rs 6,85,375 /- when you subscribe for 5 years. Here is how.
The above chart clearly tells us that spending Rs 2,999/- and getting Rs 1,37,075 in returns is lot better than spending Rs 100/- and getting returns of less than 10/. Do you agree? If you pay for 4 years, 5th year is free, that means, you returns on Rs 11,996/- (2,999 x 4) would be Rs 6,88,374/ - (5,48,300/- for the first 4 years + 1,37,075 for the 5th year + waived off 5th year fee 2,999) Do you know, how we rated the other party for just less than Rs 10/-? Because, they print nothing but just address, no updates, slow-speed network, no one knows about that website, their website does not even show up on Google.com, and provide none of the above and no one knows when they go out of business. Our company is promoted by NRIs with strong financial muscle and technical expertise and we are the only one in Hyderabad to withstand dot com bomb and survive without any problems. Q. When you giving so much in returns, why the fee is so less? A. We are able to give so because our business model is to help small and medium size companies in Hyderabad & Secunderabad. We believe in high-volume and low-margin rather than low-volume and high-premium. This is the only way that we can encourage small and medium size companies. Q. How ePages are better than competitors? A. Unlike yellow pages, which has 2-3 major players, Online Business Pages, i.e., HydEpages.com has no competitors. We're the inventors of this segment and we are the only one in this segment. We've no competitors. You cannot compare Yellow Pages with Online Business Pages at all. Yellow Pages give just name, address & telephone number in cryptic form, and most of those records are out dated and won't even exists, etc. Yellow Pages have just 1 of 20+ major features that HydEpages.com has. Q. I don’t have PC at my home and at office so I don’t think it will be useful for me? A. If you print a brochure of your company, do you keep on reading it every single day, all the time? No. You may see it once or twice. You give to your customers and tentative customers, so that they can learn about your products and services and you can get business. You print brochure to give it others, not for yourself. This is not for you this is for your customers to know about your company and your products. So, you do not need to have a PC in order to get benefit of HydEpages.com. Q. If I publish online, I will get income tax problem. A. According to the Income Tax rules, any one who has a vehicle or telephone or cell phone or business needs to file income tax returns. Filing Income Tax returns does not mean that you have to pay to the government. Based on the income and deductions, how much you need to pay will be decided. Since you have business, you are already required to file Income Tax Returns. Even if you do not subscribe to HydEpages.com, you are still required to file Income Tax Returns. Whether you file it or not is not our business. There is NO RULE by the state/central government to make you eligible for Income Tax Filing just based on Hyd Epages. com subscription. When you subscribe to Hyd Epages. com, the service fee you for Hyd Epages. com is a business expense to your shop/company and is deductable from Income before filing taxes. Q. Am I going to get business by subscribing to HydEpages.com? A. The subscription definitely increases the chances of getting more business since HydEpages.com is viewed by lakhs of visitors from around the world every single day and is rated #1 by world top search engines and got great reviews in the local and national newspapers and television. Exactly how much business you get each day via this subscription cannot be calculated and guaranteed. Even full-page ads costing lakhs of rupees in newspapers and crores of rupees in television do not guarantee the returns. Our charges are peanuts compared to them, and returns on investment are 1,000%+ better than them. When people want to buy something or get service, they look at online business pages like HydEpages.com to find out who is offering those services, not newspaper and TV, because we provide detailed on-demand information. Being listed in HydEpages.com definitely adds to your company image/ prestige and this is the only media through which you can reach the entire world, including local people. Q. I didn't hear about HydEpages.com? A. It is possible that you did not hear about this website. We guess you are too busy with your business/services. I’m sure that you will wonder when you learn how popular we are.
Q. People are giving for free of cost. Why should I pay you? A. As you know, some shop owners when they open a brand new branch, they give away 2 shirts when 1 shirt is purchased, or free shirts without buying anything, etc. Who does that? Starting businesses that want more customers, not established companies. Right? Do you think they can offer the same every single day? They can afford only very limited quantity on the first day. Isn’t it? Do you give your products or services free? If you give, how can you survive in the business and what would be the meaning of business? It is the same in any business. Isn’t it? People who gave away things for free in dot com world are no longer in business. In fact, some companies even charged a one-time fee and said their service is free for life. Even they are not in business now and went bankrupt. We always charge very reasonable price, and the returns on investment for HydEpages.com subscribers are huge. They are so huge that they can’t be compared with any other returns. Your returns are as much as Rs 1,37,075 /- on Rs 2,999/- investment. They are that huge. Can you name those who are giving for free and check whether they are still in business and what exactly are offered as free and compare them with HydEpages.com features and returns yourself. Q. How about publishing free for a while and getting paid once I get some business? A. If I ask the bookshop to give the book free and get paid after I pass the exam, do they agree? Does the soap manufacturer wait to get paid until consumer gets fair skin or loose dandruff? Does Eenadu/ Deccan Chronicle/ TV wait to get paid for the ad until advertiser gets business? Remember, ads on any of those three costs lakhs of rupees and no returns are guaranteed. HydEpages.com subscription fee is just 2,999/- and value you get for that little amount is as much Rs 1,37,075 /- per year. The amount you are paying is just Rs 8.21/- per day, as little as you pay for a good cup of coffee. I’m sure your business is eligible to spend that little amount to get promoted. Isn’t it? Competitors in your business spend lot more on promotions. Get listed where people look for and increase the chances of getting more business for the least possible cost. Unlike newspapers and TVs, HydEpages.com promotes your business throughout the year, even when you are sleeping or on vacation. Q. I will pay commission on the generated business instead of fixed fee per year. A. HydEpages.com serves thousands of businesses and it is growing every day. If we accept commission offer on the generated business, it will not be possible for us or for any human to promote all members without any discrimination. This is because, some members might offer more commission and some offer more attractive terms and naturally any human promotes the business that gives more profit; which means, not all members will be served without any partiality. We know that the business you are in is really a profitable business. Our company is promoted by NRIs with deep pockets and investing few crores is not a big issue for them. We can start the business you are doing in few days. However, we haven’t done it. You know why? Because, we don’t want to compete with you and our customers. We want to help you in promoting your business in this digital revolution. That’s why, our company policy won’t allow taking any commissions. The fee you pay is just a nominal service fee. If we start accepting commission, you will be at loss. A. We provide several ways to update your ePage. If the changes are small, like telephone number, you can just telephone us and request for the update. For all other changes, you can send changes via post, or come in person to our office, or send an email. Soon, you can even update online yourself. Q. We’ve already listed with you but there is no response. A. When a customer comes to your shop/company, do you ask them to fill any form or ask them how did they learn about you? If that is not done, how can any one measure and say that advertising on HydEpages.com has no effect. On the other hand, do you go to each shop that you see in paper or TV advertisements? Definitely not. However, when you want to buy a product in that category, you might remember that advertisement and go to that shop, if that advertisement is good enough to be remembered. Even if you do not buy that product, since you already have it, you may tell your friend when they look for. Right? The result of promoting your business is immediate some times, will work in the long term some times; and improves your brand image in any case and improves the chances of getting more business. Q. This concept won’t suit for Hyderabad because Internet is costly. So how it is useful to us? A. This statement was true before year 2000, but not any more. Browsing the net for an hour costs lot less than a 5-minute telephone call. Every Internet Café is crowded. Hyderabad is IT Savvy and is called Cyberabad. Isn’t it? Many IT companies are starting every day in Hyderabad. All IT companies, most of the traditional companies schools and colleges either already has Internet access or in the process of getting the same. Most of the Internet traffic comes from corporations. So, whether people can afford to buy a computer or not is not a thing to concern about. Almost every employee accesses the net from company these days. 60%+ traffic to HydEpages.com is from corporate network. In fact more and more people who come from other cities to work in IT companies do not know about Hyderabad much, and they use Internet to find where products and services they’re looking are available. Remember, former American President got his Hyderabad drivers’ licence via Internet? People pay bills in eSeva, which is nothing but Internet. You are already using Internet without knowing so. We agree that some people don’t access Internet; it doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t market your product to other section of the people. Are companies stopped to give ads in TV because some people don’t have TV? Q. By giving information about my company, your portal becomes informative. Can you publish it free? A. Considering your question is part of the whole question, yes, our portal becomes more and more informative as we publish more and more companies’ information. In fact, it is the same case with Television and newspaper. On the other hand, getting listed on good newspaper like Eenadu, Hindu, is not that easy. For some companies, getting coverage in them remains as dream forever. Companies who get coverage in them feel that their company is honoured and tell about it to every one, publish it in their brochures, and display it in their offices. Isn’t it? Let us take a cinema hall. If the cinema producer says, you are showing my cinema and your cinema hall is getting more value because of my cinema, yes, the producer is correct. But if the producer ask to give all money he gets from tickets to him, it won’t be fair. On the other hand, without the cinema hall, where the producer is going to show the cinema? He doesn’t even get 1/20th of the production cost if he releases the cinema directly to the TV. Coming to HydEpages.com, in addition to all the points mentioned earlier, we know what to publish about your company, we know how to present it, and to whom to present it. We know how to present your company to the whole world @ the least possible cost and in the most efficient way. When you pay Rs 2,999/- a year, you get more than Rs 1,37,075 /- value. How much we get by listing your company? Just Rs 2,999/-. Now, don’t you agree it is worth to get published on HydEpages.com? Q. I don’t know how to access. A. That is fine, it is not a problem at all. I can show you how your company profile looks like on HydEpages.com and show you how to access it as well. We can even give you a printed copy of the same. Please note that you are publishing your company information for your current and future customers, not for yourself. So, even if you don’t know how to access, it is not something you should concern about. People who know how to access and whoever is looking for products/ services that you offer they will find you. Q. You’ve listed many ePages. What is the guarantee that my page will be viewed? A. No one can guarantee this for any one. There are so many shops in this area doing the same business that you are doing. What is the guarantee that they see your shop? On the Internet, people come to HydEpages.com in search product or service. If you are offering that product or service, your company name will be listed along with other companies that offer that product or service, but not every company in the database. Then, typically visitors go into each page before they decide something. So, it is important to provide better description of your products and services, publish logo and photos and videos so that visitor is fully informed about your products and services. If you do that job well, then I don’t see any reason why people won’t visit your page. Please note that, unlike any other company, we do NOT list other companies on your page. Your ePage is dedicated for your products and services only. It is guaranteed and we are the only one to do so . Q. We’ve already paid to many dot com companies now they are no more? A. You are right. Many dot com companies went bankrupt, because those managements spent money, funded by venture capitalists, like water (because it is not their money) and had no solid business plans. We started our operations in the year 2000 with the goal of helping local businesses in the digital revolution just before dot com boom, and survived dot com bust. We are 100% financed by our promoters, who are NRIs with deep pockets and great technical expertise. We are strong in all aspects without any outside assistance and in fact we are the only Hyderabad based pure Internet Company surviving. We are helping 16,600+ ePage clients locally in twin-cities, launched 550+ websites for our clients. We’ve 10 popular websites, and more are on their way.
