WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging apps in the world with over 1 billion monthly active users. It has also become very lucrative for companies that have been able to create business accounts on it, making it a great way to promote your business.
There are several ways you can use WhatsApp to promote your business, but one of the easiest is by creating an account as a “Business” or “Organization” instead of just an individual.
This article will go into detail about how to do this and some reasons why having such an account is important! So stay tuned and read on to learn more about this trick.
The second thing is to add these individuals to your conversion list. You can do this by adding their usernames or phone numbers under the Settings section in WhatsApp.
By doing this, when they try to login with the app, it will automatically transfer them as an owner without asking for permission first!
This way, your friend no longer needs to ask if they are ready to become an owner before actually changing over.
Now that you have their email addresses, you can move onto the next step which is encouraging them to create a business profile using WhatsApp as an easy way to do this.
You can either send them an invite directly through the app or use our guide here to help them set one up manually. Either way, once they accept the invitation you will need to confirm their business details such as company name, phone number, address, etc.
Now that you have your phone number and you know who to contact with WhatsApp, the next step is to actually create an online messaging account. Most people use Facebook as their main source of communication, so why not make yours more professional?
There are many ways to do this, but most cost around $10-$20 per year. This will give you all of the features of WhatsApp, including being able to send and receive messages, images, videos, documents, and polls.
You can also add accounts such as Google, Yahoo, Twitter, and LinkedIn which contain additional functions like email, direct message (DMs), and profile updates.
Now that you have all of that information, it’s time to convert your simple WhatsApp account into an official business account!
First, make sure your phone number is verified by Facebook. Then, create a new business profile using the same email address as your personal one and type in your business name or specific product line.
Next, choose whether to use the free version or paid (Business) edition of FB Messenger. The paid one allows you additional features like message transcription and call recording, which are helpful if your job requires those.
And lastly, switch up your security questions so people can’t guess yours. Have fun creating fake ones! 😉
Your business account will be active within 24 hours- unless something happens then (we won’t judge). You now have everything you need to start advertising and growing your business even more.
Now that you have downloaded the app and logged into your new business account, it’s time to start inviting people!
The best way to do this is to invite everyone you know who uses WhatsApp. You can either send them an email or tweet them directly telling them they need to update their status to view your business accounts. Some people may be reluctant at first but eventually will accept your invitation as you win over time.
Now that you have created an account with WhatsApp, you can start receiving messages! The next step is to actually listen to those messages and reply to them.
You will need to head into your app and then click the little eye icon in the top right corner of the screen. This will take you to the settings for WhatsApp.
Once there, you can choose whether or not you want to get notifications when someone sends you a message. You also have the option to turn off voice and video calls. If you do not want to use WhatsApp as a means of communication, you can easily do so.
And just like email accounts, you can always go back and add chat features later if you decide to use it more frequently.
Now that you have given yourself permission to use WhatsApp as an advertising tool for your business, it is important to make sure that your messages are protected from prying eyes. This means making your business chat profile private so only people you invite can see it or using a third-party app like Signal or Telegram which are much more privacy oriented.
WhatsApp allows users to add anyone as a contact but if they ever need access to your business chats, they will need to be invited by someone in the group. You should also consider creating multiple profiles for different departments of your business so people do not get suspicious when they see a message coming from something with no name attached.
If someone does manage to gain access to your business chat, there are ways to remove their credentials so they can never view your conversations again.
When your business receives a notification that someone has your password or has been able to log into your accounts using your information, it is important to take action quickly!
The first thing you should do is change your passwords for all of your other accounts that may have been compromised, this includes both internal and external accounts like email, Facebook, Twitter, and others.
It is also extremely helpful if you can remove their access to these accounts as well. For example, once they know your Instagram username and password, they can easily go onto Instagram and login with your credentials. You can then check whether there are any signs of tampering by looking at the photos and videos uploaded from the account.
If you notice anything suspicious, contact each site directly and inform them of the situation so they can take appropriate steps to prevent further intrusions.
