If you have internet data left, you can also earn money by selling it. The government's PM WANI scheme has brought a big opportunity for people who want to start their businesses at a small level. Under this scheme, any person or shopkeeper can provide internet service to others by installing a public Wi-Fi hotspot. Ordinary people will pay you in exchange for data, which will enable you to earn money. For this, neither any license is required nor heavy investment. All you need is an internet connection and a Wi-Fi router so that you can become your digital entrepreneur. Let's talk about this scheme in detail.

Killing two birds with one stone
The government is hitting two birds with one stone with this scheme. With its help, while on the one hand, small shopkeepers can start earning by installing hotspots, on the other hand, the government will also be able to arrange public hotspots for the people at cheap rates. Let us understand this with an example, the data of Wi-Fi installed at shops is often not fully used. Usually, a shopkeeper's Wi-Fi data goes to waste, with the help of this scheme people can buy it and use the internet. For this, the shopkeeper can earn thousands in a month by charging 5-10 rupees from each user. Another advantage of this scheme is that it does not require any license. In such a situation, it becomes very easy to become an entrepreneur by starting this work.
