Many people in Singapore felt cheated by WeChat. First, many of them went to free talks or short training conducted by many WeChat 'Gurus'.  Inside the talk, they were told that they must set up a WeChat Official Account if they want to get and conduct business on WeChat.  Many of them paid S$3,500 to S$9,000 to create an impressive WeChat Official Account and were promised lots of business from there.  But because they do very little or just initial promotion of that Official Account, plus they have no new contents on their impressive Official Accounts, very few people follow their Official Accounts. As a result, they got very little business from their Official Accounts.  Many cannot even recover just 10% of their investment in creating their Official Accounts! There are some WeChat Trainers that conduct FREE WeChat Short Training or Preview  and then ask people to sign up for their 1-day or 2-days SkillsFuture funded WeChat class that costs $500 to $750 to learn how

Your What’s Up is a short description of what you stand for, not what you do. This is different from your name, which tells people what you do or who you are. We know in life people may not remember your name, who you are or what you do. But you stand for people will remember for life. Thus it is important to describe what you stand for in your WeChat Whats’Up. Most people do not set up their Whats’s Up, as they did not realize that when people search for you in WeChat, your Whats’up will be seen immediately. The following are good Whats’ up: Wise quotes or quotes that reflect your positioning eg Mobile Number Change Life Your company’s name, website, email and mobile number  A short message that invites people to add you as their friend on WeChat, like ‘Like to add you on WeChat so that we can expand our network and know the right people' A Short question that prompts people to interact with you, like ‘Do you know that your mobile number can make you sick?' Your pos

Edit Your WeChat Friends details and Set Tags   Whether you add your friends using scanning, Group chats, Friend Radar or People Nearby,  the first thing to do  after you have added a new WeChat friend is to go in and edit his details and set tag(s) for him.   This is because marketing is about being target e d so you must know your friends well and target the right marketing messages to them.  Otherwise, you will be considered as spamming and people will unfriend you fast.    The one and the only way to do targeted marketing to your WeChat friend is to know who they are and label them accordingly.  Otherwise, your WeChat friends will become strangers to you.   If you have been adding friends and not tag them or edited their alias, do so now or your WeChat contacts will become meaningless to you.  It is best to do so immediately after you have added a friend.    How to Do:   Go to your contact and press his photo   You w

WeChat is not like Whatsapp, when you change phone, the chats in your old phone will not be ported to your new phone and will be gone. The only way to transfer your chats or messages from your old phone to your new phone is via your computer.  You need to first back up your chats from your old phone onto your computer and then download the chats from the computer into your new phone. To do this you need to install WeChat software into your computer. Simply search for 'WeChat for Windows or Mac' and install this free software on your computer.  To log on to WeChat on your computer, you need to use your phone to scan the QR code on your computer.  After that select 'Back Up and Restore' function.  The whole process may take up to 3 hours.  Remember, if you have not done this, don't ever delete the WeChat app in your old phone. This is because WeChat the company does not store your chats and the chats are only in your phone and nowhere else.  Do your friends a f

WeChat started in January 2011 and went international in 2013.  So it is already 6 years old.  Compared to Facebook which started in 2004, WeChat is 9 years behind but its user base has been growing steadily.  Currently, at the time of writing (24 Jan 2019), WeChat has 1.1 billion users in 21 languages. From training over thousands of people from all walks of life in WeChat since 2017, the following are the 5 Biggest Mis-Beliefs About WeChat: Mis-Belief 1: WeChat is Only for the Chinese WeChat has 21 languages and includes most of the top commonly used languages in the world except Polish, Jewish and Hindi.  If you were just to open 'People Nearby' feature of WeChat in Little India of Singapore, you'll realize that there are many non-Chinese using WeChat .  Definitely, WeChat is not for the Chinese alone Mis-Belief 2: WeChat is an Advertising Platform WeChat is a social media platform and in social media, social first, business second.

Following my previous post on 'What Do I Really Teach in WeChat", some people asked me to summarize what will my students really learn from my WeChat courses.  There are 5 things that you will take back: 1. The WeChat course itself, which has 5 key elements: WeChat, Chinese culture, Social Media Marketing, Irresistible Selling and FREE WeChat Official Account and WeChat Mini Programs (read the details at here ) 2. What Value to Bring to People Most people are very good in describing what they sell and the benefits they bring.  But if you were to ask them what value do you bring to people, they will mention "good value".  This answer is worse than not answering.   We know that if you want to use WeChat in your marketing, people are not interested to read how good your product is.  People are only interested in one and only thing: what value do you bring to them.   In our WeChat courses, all our students are made to go through an exercise what value they c
