2 WAYS YOU CAN MONETIZE YOUR WHATSAPP

This is the very important part of this article, there is probably many ways you can monetize your WhatsApp status but I’ll share 2 ways with you below;

Advertisement

You could place adverts of other people’s products. Put out a word on your status that there’s room to advertise but don’t start this too early. People would request for the number view on your statuses and it has to be a good figure. You should have at least 500-1000 views per post in other to be successful.

Sell products

You can sell your own products; tap into the number of viewers you have and try to sell something. That may be the start of a business venture, you never can tell.

On the other hand, you can participate in affiliate marketing. Reach out to companies and express your interest in sharing some of their products with your viewers for a commission and strike a deal.

In conclusion,

it’s obvious you want to make money from WhatsApp. However, don’t make it 100% about money.

People need to understand that you are also interested in fulfilling what the channel is all about. Keep it 20-80. 20% business, 80% your viewers.

This is to say that, only one in five posts should cover your finances or ad opening alert on your status.

For WhatsApp Business, you should probably configure a bit. Enable auto-responder, and set keywords and what you want the app to respond to. I’ll give you an example.

I set keyword as “Hello”. And set reply as “Hello there, I may not be available at the moment, please leave your message as I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.” I save and then enable it.

When anyone sends “Hello,” it automatically responds with the same response I set. Cool, right? You could play with those keywords and create more of those so that you will not have to reply to all your messages individually. Your viewers may want to know your ad rates, since you may not be making that public, you could place a keyword as “ad” and customize your response.

Then, encourage your viewers interested in placing an ad with you to send “ad” to see the price list for your ads. This runs automatically as you do not need to reply to everyone individually.
