Sometimes, you have to think outside the box a bit
When you start out - you have no list.
And even if you start a website, it will be a while before anyone joins it!
So How Can You Use WhatsApp To Grow Your List?
If you use WhatsApp - you already have a list of contacts.
Depending on what your niche topic is that you are promoting - you likely have folk there on that list that you can make offers to and give helpful tips and suggestions in a non-invasive way.
WhatsApp Groups can be gold!
Join a relevant group and get to be known as the go-to for that topic.
You can pitch to them as a group or as individuals.
Can you see how you can use this locally in a town that you service?
You might already have folk contacting you about your services. Making inquiries on prices, stocks etc.
Use the numbers to make contact with special local offers, links to online supplies or courses etc.
Once I have started a conversation - I archive it. That way it only comes back up once the person responds or if I choose to follow up again.
How to pitch...
I have to admit to initially being rather skeptical when I read the heading and first page, borderline spam I thought . I'm glad I read further, authority (as in really useful info) and subtlety have to be to be essential parts of this kind of marketing. I'm a member of several Whatsapp special interest groups where I'm recognized as a specialist, I find that merely sharing authoritively has group members asking for purchase suggestions. I have never attempted to monitize this but thanks to your tutorial..............
Excellently illustrated, much obliged.
