How to Be a WechatPreneur at ZERO COST

If your business derives 80% of its sales from WeChat, you are called a Wechatpreneur (微商), also called Technopreneur or Mumpreneur (if you are a stay-at-home-mum). 

There are 8 ways that you can be a Wechatpreneur at ZERO COST: 
  1. Moments (朋友圈). If you have more than 2,000 friends on WeChat, your Moments posts (if they are interesting and not just plain advertisements) will start generating comments and likes.  You post 3 to 5 Moments a day and people contact you via comments, or in the links or other contacts that you provide in the Moments posts
  2. Groupchats (群聊).  You form groupchats by gathering people who have shown interest in what you do. Your groupchats are very active with mini leaders and fans who support your Groupchat posts. Every day you are adding new people to the groupchats.  You are also forming new groupchats every day, some of which are sub-groups. By far Groupchats is the most common and effective to sell on WeChat FOC. 
  3. Message Broadcasts (群发) You can send out to maximum 200 contacts in each message broadcast
  4. Messaging (消息).  Here you message people directly.  Each message can also be a video not exceeding 5 minutes or voice maximum 60 seconds. This must be the most basic and yet effective methods to sell on WeChat.
  5. Mei Pian (美篇).  Mei Pian is a mini program (小程序) that looks like a website.  Here you can include words, pictures, videos, music and even tabs for sub-pages.  You promote your Mei Pian via Moments, Groupchats, Message Broadcast and Messaging.   After scanning your Mei Pian QR code, people will go inside your Mei Pian. 
  6. Official Account (公众号) Official accounts are mini-websites with up to 15 pages.  When people follow your official accounts, you can send them a broadcast each day with maximum 8 articles in that broadcast.  You can set up maximum 5 Official Accounts with your business registration. There is ZERO cost in setting up official accounts. ff Official 
  7. Mini Program (小程序) Mini programs are mobile apps inside WeChat.  People are very familiar with doing business on mobile apps. You can easily promote your mini programs via Moments, Groupchats, Message Broadcast and Messaging. 
  8. Groupbuy (吃喝玩乐) Here you go into 大众点评  and put your products and services there FOC.  People can access Groupbuy inside their WeChat Wallet page.

If Not You, Who Else?

I learnt this very powerful 5-word phrase from Singapore's highest ever box-office movie ever: "Ah Boys to Men II". In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp.  Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?"  All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot...

How I Became a Fortune Teller: Leveraging NLP, Fear and Greed, and Motivational Theories

Becoming a fortune teller wasn’t part of my childhood dreams. It started as an experiment, fueled by my curiosity about human behavior and the subtle forces that drive our decisions. Over time, what began as a study of psychology and human interaction evolved into an unexpected career—one where I use the tools of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), the primal drivers of fear and greed, and motivational theories to help people uncover their paths. The First Step: Understanding the Human Psyche I was always fascinated by why people do what they do. During my university years, I studied psychology, particularly the works of Abraham Maslow, B.F. Skinner, and Victor Vroom. Their theories provided insights into motivation, reinforcement, and decision-making. But I wanted to move beyond the academic realm and see how these theories worked in real life. Around this time, I discovered NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). This framework for understanding communication and behavior is based on the...
