Your Top Questions on WeChat Answered

Your Top Questions on WeChat Answered

1. Do I have to use WeChat when I am already a lot into WhatsApp?

The purpose of WeChat is to reach out to new markets, the people that you cannot find on Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok, LinkedIn and WhatsApp.

The people from China cannot use any of the Western social media tools (other than LinkedIn). They only use WeChat. So if you want to reach out to them, you have no choice but to use WeChat

2. How Do I Replicate the Success of my Facebook on WeChat?

Just copy and paste your Facebook posts into WeChat with 2 changes: use Chinese words on top of English words, and to trim your article to no more than 350 words

3. How Do I Market on WeChat?

You have to use Moments-Chats-Broadcast and Group chats, in this order

4. People are now using Tik Tok. Is WeChat outdated?

WeChat has a Tik Tok pure video feed, called Channels. But WeChat Channels allow you to post up to 30 minutes long videos, which is 3 times longer than Tik Tok videos. Furthermore, you can easily post your WeChat Channel videos into your WeChat Moments. You cannot do the same for Tik Tok videos, for Tik Tok is another company, not part of WeChat.

Just like Tik Tok and Dou Yin, WeChat will, based on the usefulness of your video, pusth your videos to WeChat users. For example, my videos on my WeChat channel easily reach more than a thousand views within half an hour. This is the marketing power of WeChat. I am not sure if you can achieve the same at Tik Tok.

5. OK, I am convinced that I must use WeChat. How to start?

Attend our course WeChat Power, which is conducted weekly. The upcoming class is on Thursday 8 Sep 2 to 5 pm, on Zoom. Details at www.asiatrainers.org/wczoom

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years. Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself? At least I have better discipline". It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Have You Found Your Sun Yi and Teresa Teng?

I n the long, unfolding history of the Chinese-language music scene, "The Moon Represents My Heart" 月亮代表我的心 stands as an unsurpassable milestone. Yet, the journey of this globally renowned masterpiece, a song that would eventually captivate the world, was fraught with setbacks: it was once dismissed as "trash" by its own creator and tossed into a wastebasket, later suppressed by official policy as a "banned song ," and initially failed to gain any traction when performed by two different singers. The dramatic turnaround in this song’s fate is not merely a musical legend; it offers a profound life lesson: the greatest stroke of luck in life is not about how perfect you are, but about encountering the "right people", those who truly understand you, support you, and help you realize your potential, at exactly the right moment. I. The First "Right Person": A "Talent Scout" Who Recognizes Your Worth In the early 1970s, composer T...
