WeChat (video) Channels: Better than Tik Tok and Douyin?


WeChat (video) Channels: Better than Tik Tok and Douyin?


Since 2021, WeChat has launched a short video feed called Channels.  You can access this from the 'Discover' page of WeChat.

Channels is similar to the videos at Facebook timeline, but very different from Douyin and Kuaishou, two hot short video platforms.  Channels allows you to post up to 30 minutes videos. From here you can post your videos to your Moments.  This way allows you to post beyond 30-second videos on your Moments. 

Like Douyin, your video is pushed to users of WeChat (including your non-WeChat friends) based on your video's usefulness. So if your video is good, you can reach out to many people in WeChat.  This is definitely very good marketing for anyone that wants to be seen among WeChat users. 

The advantages of WeChat Channels over Douyin or Tik Tok are:
  • Able to post up to 30 minutes videos (Tik Tok's limit is 10 minutes)
  • Able to post such Channel videos to your WeChat Moments, Group chats and individual chats
  • Able to reach people that you don't know, for WeChat does push out your videos to the WeChat users if they find that your videos are good.  This means that you can gain popularity even if you are new to WeChat or have very few WeChat friends. 
If you go to my WeChat account (my ID is Andy93672286), you can see my WeChat Channel. I have posted over 100 videos, many of which have several hundred views, with the highest being 2K views.  Andy Ng is a WeChat Author Trainer Coach, and wrote the world's 1st and only book in English about WeChat called Practical WeChat Marketing, details at www.bit.ly/andywcm

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. Developed by Marshall B. Rosenberg, NVC emphasizes empathetic communication that seeks to understand and connect with others on a deeper level. It encourages active listening, empath

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
