Seven Mistakes New Number Store Owners Make

Most new store owners make the same handful of mistakes. None of them are fatal, but each one costs customers or money. Here's what to avoid.

1. Letting the telly.cat balance run out

Every number your customers buy is paid from your telly.cat balance. When it hits zero, sales stop and customers get errors. Keep a buffer and check it daily.

2. Pricing everything the same

One flat markup is simple, but it's too expensive on popular services people compare, and too cheap on rare ones. Adjust your top services by hand.

3. No FAQ

Without one, you'll answer "my code didn't come" a hundred times. Write the FAQ in your first week.

4. Slow support

Customers write when they're stuck mid sign up. A reply the next day is too late. Set support hours and stick to them.

5. Promising what you can't control

Never promise that every service works in every country, or that a number can be used forever. Explain honestly. Numbers are for receiving a code now, and failed ones are refunded.

6. Marketing by spamming

Posting your link in every group gets you banned and makes you look like a scammer. Be helpful first. Share useful tips, answer questions, and mention the store when it actually fits.

7. Ignoring abuse

Customers who use numbers for fraud or spam put your payment accounts and your store at risk. Write clear rules and act on them.

What successful owners do instead

• Pick a niche or language and own it.
• Keep the balance funded and the numbers tracked.
• Answer fast and honestly.
• Grow through useful content and real partnerships.
