I was discussing with one of my friends a few weeks ago, and he shared with me the story of a guy from Nigeria who legitimately made 250,000 Naira on WhastApp in less than 21 days without paid adverts.
Yeah, you read that right! 250k in just 21 days is the average monthly salary of many Senior Lecturers in Nigeria. Of course, that is when they are on good terms with the government. In other times, most civil servants barely earn more than 150k per month.
I found it difficult to believe this the first time I heard this, till I actually read it from the guy himself who shared how he was able to do this. His name is Sola Matthew; the author of the Whatsapp Sales Blueprint.
And if you read this post till the end, you will be finding out the secret behind the success of Affiliate marketers using Whatsapp!

What are the ways of making money from WhatsApp?

I have heard of the WhatsApp earning app, Whatsapp T.V, and so on. Also, most people use their Whatsapp accounts to advertise their offline business with the hope of getting more customers.

There are lots of other ways through which you can make money from your WhatsApp account, I will list some of them below.
But in the end, I will show you the best way to make money on WhatsApp.
1. Creating a viral content
There are lots of URL shortening services online that pay people for generating traffic once they invite their contacts to click on the link.
Such websites make money by running adverts for companies.
An example of a URL shortening service that can pay someone for generating traffic for them is shorte.st.
People who earn money from this register with such URL shortening services using their email address and password.
Once they have created an account, they have access to lots of viral content which comes in the form of videos, articles, news, etc. So they shorten the link to such articles and videos and share them with their WhatsApp contacts. And the more clicks they get on their links, the more money they earn.
2. Paid Per Download Networks
Some other companies pay people to help them market their videos, mobile apps, and pictures. The job of these persons is to post such videos on their Whatsapp status, groups, and broadcast lists, hoping that their friends will download them.
The more downloads they generate for the company, the more money they make.
3. Promoting Applications
This works just like the paid-per-download Network. The more downloads you generate for the owners of the application, the more money you make.
Why I Hate The Above Methods of Making Money on WhatsApp?
I personally do not like the above 3 methods I listed on how to make money on WhatsApp, and here is why;
I am a very private person, and I hate spamming people’s inboxes with links because it is unethical. And I bet a lot of people reading this post also share similar values with me.
It is not advisable to spam people’s DMs on WhatsApp even if they are your close friends, if not they may not mind blocking you for good or muting your messages.
But of course, whatever you post on your WhatsApp status is your business, and you cannot be banned or penalized by anyone because of it.
But there are ways of ethically maximizing the little views you have on your Whatsapp status and start making good money.
4. Affiliate Marketing; The Fastest and Best Method to Make Money on WhatsApp
I started affiliate marketing some months ago, and here is what I noticed;
Most affiliate marketers rely just on organic traffic from Google, Email Marketing, Paid Adverts on Facebook, Google, etc to make sales…Only about 2% of affiliate marketers utilize the power of WhatsApp in increasing their conversion rates.
Affiliate marketing is the secret answer to how to make money on Whatsapp in Nigeria or wherever you may be all over the world.
But you need to learn how to make good sales from the right people before you actually launch into the process.
Do not make the mistake I made within the first months of my starting affiliate marketing. I did everything on my own without the help of anyone. And it only wasted my time and mental energy which I could have spent on other things.
All I needed was a mentor, someone who has done this before, and pay whatever price it would have cost to turn my Whatsapp into a cash-breathing application on my android phone.
My story in affiliate marketing started turning around for good when I a friend introduced me to a 72IG WhatsApp Income Generator program (72IG Implementation Program); 12 days of training in affiliate marketing.
This program taught me how to generate organic traffic and make my first sale on the Expertnaire affiliate marketing program using my Whatsapp, Facebook, and Twitter pages.
In the course of my training, I met great masterminds like Toyin Omotosho; a Nigerian 9-figure income super affiliate on Expertnaire and the founder of the 72IG Implementation Program. I also met other top 7-figure income affiliates on Expertnaire.
