6 WeChat Marketing Tips

It's getting more and more popular. Many people today know that WeChat is not just a messaging app like WhatsApp.  WeChat is also not just a social media app like Facebook.  WeChat is a super app, and many businesses from small to big are running their entire businesses on WeChat.  The number one reason businesspeople use WeChat is marketing or to reach out to the right target audience.  Today I shall talk about 6 WeChat Marketing tips. Enjoy and share it with your friends. 

1. Minimum number of WeChat Friends

In order to have a certain response to your marketing on WeChat, you need to have a minimum number of WeChat Friends.  The minimum is 500 quality friends or 1,000 if you are unsure of the quality of your friends.  

Quality friends are friends that are receptive to what you post.  For example, I am a WeChat Trainer. My quality friends on WeChat would include people that like to learn and are receptive to learning. I often add such quality friends from the seminar groupchats that I joined.

2. Engagement with Your WeChat Friends

You need to engage with your WeChat friends on a daily if not twice-a-week basis.  The most common engagement is to click 'like' and comment on their WeChat Moments posts. People will click 'like' and comment on your WeChat Moments posts if they find your name appears on their Moments posts.  This happens when you click 'like' and comment on their Moments posts.

Another way to engage with your WeChat friends is to send them personalized messages or standard messages via Message Broadcast.  I often send 'Thanks' to my new WeChat friends and attach my electronic name-card. 3 out of 10 of my new WeChat friends would respond with questions and that's where we start communicating. Once a week, I send Message Broadcast to my WeChat friends on WeChat tips and strategies via Mei Pian, a beautiful blog mini program.

3. Your copywriting

Copywriting is a very important aspect of WeChat Marketing.  People are busy and have no time to read what you post unless your posts are written in an attractive manner.  For example, some people like to put their skin care product pictures on their Moments, but seldom describe what their product can do for people other than saying it is good. Who would want to buy such lame products?

4. Share Success Stories
As soon as some of your WeChat friends buy what you sell, you can post pictures of them enjoying your products in your WeChat Moments.  You can also screenshot this Moments post and send it to your Groupchat friends and request them to like your Moments post. 

When the amount of 'likes' in your Moments post reach a new high (eg 10), you can share this small achievement by posting it on your Moments or in your groupchats.  This will attract even more likes on your Moments and the effect will just spiral up.

5. Be Real, Be Likeable
Since WeChat is a social media tool and people buy from people that they like, you can make yourself likable by showing the real You in your Moments posts. For example, I often post pictures of what my wife cooks, plus good deals like cheap and good latest mobile phones.  

Sometimes I just post things that are close to my heart, like self-improvement courses and inspirational stories.  Realize that you do not need to pretend. Just show the real you, the you that is not perfect, the you that has its ups and downs, and people will like you.  It is that simple.

6.  It's All Not About You
This is the most important point.  WeChat Marketing is not about You but your friends.  If you want to market your product, don't just talk about your product.  Talk about what your friends feel strongly about. Sometimes I just look at my friends' Moments posts and give constructive comments.  

For example, that day my friend shared in her Moments her birthday celebration.  Other than wishing her happy birthday, I showed concern and asked her how is her business doing and if she is using WeChat actively to promote her business.  She was very appreciative of my concern and replied that she wants to come for my free refresher WeChat Marketing course.  I offered her the dates and suggested that she can bring her team members too to the class to have better team bonding.  We felt so much closer after such interactions.

That's all for today.  Let me know in the comments if you have any good tips.  Written by Andy Ng, a WeChat Trainer

Kindness as a Way of Life: How Kindness can Reward You 6 Times Over

Kindness as a Way of Life by Andy Ng Kindness is a universal language that transcends cultural boundaries, enriches human connections, and has the power to transform lives. It goes beyond mere acts of charity or random good deeds. To me, kindness, when practiced as a way of life, becomes a profound philosophy that can shape our interactions with others, the world around us, and even our own well-being. In this article, we will explore the multifaceted aspects of kindness as a way of life, touching on non-violent communication, the limitations of traditional charity, the potential harms of helping, the deliberate cultivation of kindness, and the incredible rewards it brings. 1.       Non-Violent Communication Non-violent communication (NVC) is a key component of practicing kindness as a way of life.

New Age Mobile Numerology

Many people look at 'mobile number change luck' with skepticism, they say, how can just one simple mobile number change create so many changes in a person's life?   Also, the mobile numbers are given to us by random by the telcos, how can our fate be assigned by the telcos at random? Besides, isn't it true that our lives and fates are determined by birth and what we do, how can a small mobile number, which is a modern invention, have any effect?  How about people in the past without mobile numbers?  You mean they don't have a life without mobile numbers, right? One more thing: you cannot just change your mobile number and expect your life to change. If this is so, wouldn't everybody be rich just by changing their mobile numbers? Finally, isn't this kind of fortune-telling thing more of psychology and blind faith than science?   If so, how can we trust anything that is not proven and not science? Today let's resolve all these doubts and I welcome your co

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
