If you have internet data remaining, you can sell it and earn money. The government’s PM WANI (PM WANI) project presents a great opportunity for individuals who wish to start their own small-scale ventures. Under this scheme, any individual or shopkeeper can establish a public Wi-Fi hotspot and provide internet services to others.

Regular users will pay you for the data, enabling you to generate income.

This initiative requires no license or significant investment. All you need is an internet connection and a Wi-Fi router, allowing you to become your own digital entrepreneur. Let’s delve into the details of this project.

On one hand, small shopkeepers can set up hotspots and begin earning, while on the other, the government can facilitate affordable public hotspots for people. To illustrate with an example, the Wi-Fi data at shops often goes unused. Typically, a shopkeeper’s Wi-Fi data goes to waste, but with this project, people can purchase it and use the internet. For this, shopkeepers can earn thousands of rupees monthly by charging users 5-10 rupees each. Another advantage of this project is that no license is required. This makes it very easy to become an entrepreneur by starting this work.

For those interested in earning money by selling internet data through this project, it’s important to know that internet plan prices start from 5 rupees and go up to 99 rupees. These plans offer various data allocations and validity periods. For instance, 6 rupees provides 1GB data with 1-day validity, 9 rupees offers 2GB data with 2-day validity, 18 rupees gives 5GB data with 3-day validity, 25 rupees offers 20GB data with 7-day validity, 49 rupees provides 40GB data with 14-day validity, and 99 rupees offers 100GB data with one-month validity. Users can purchase these plans. The individual wishing to join this project and sell data can also create their own plans and offer them to users.

1. To join this project, you must first have your own Wi-Fi connection. For this, you can obtain a connection from service providers like JioFiber, BSNL, or Airtel. Taking an unlimited data plan from them will be beneficial.
2. Install Hotspot Device Next, you need to install a hotspot device to share your internet connection with others. Hotspot devices are available in the market at various prices to cover different areas. You can purchase a hotspot device depending on how much area you want to serve.
3. Connect with PDOA After that, you need to connect with a PM-WANI approved PDOA. With their help, you will get facilities like user login system, OTP-based access, and plan setup. C-DOT is a government PDOA company.
4. Register Subsequently, you need to register yourself as a PDO. For this, you have to visit pmwani.gov.in and provide your name, mobile number, shop/location address, and internet connection information.
5. Set Up Plan and Start Service After this, you need to set up a plan using the login ID received from the PDOA, and then you can start earning.
