Traffic to your online business page, website, or blog is very important if you are to get noticed by potential customers. If you have an online business, you need to leverage the power of WhatsApp to drive traffic, leads, and sales.
There are a lot of businesses online and offline, as well as blogs, that have failed to tap into the power of WhatsApp through strategy.
How to use WhatsApp to drive traffic to your blog or online business
Let us look at the basic things you can do to enjoy traffic to your online business or blog.
CREATE WhatsApp GROUPS
This is the most effective way to drive traffic to your blog or online business. Create a WhatsApp group and share the link on other groups, Facebook, Telegram, etc.
You can also put the link in your publications so that interested persons can join your group where you deliver blog content.
Ensure that you are the only admin and that no one can comment or send messages to the group. This way, you make your group a d news delivery channel and nothing else. This will prevent people from taking advantage of your group to promote their own content, scams, and related stuff.
You can use the WhatsApp Group feature to drive traffic to your blog. It works just like a Facebook group. A WhatsApp group dedicated to your audience can help you build and sustain a community.
Once a group is full, create another one. Add the links to engaging content and readers will naturally join the group.

Use the broadcast message feature
This feature allows you to create a list of persons who should receive the message or content you post. If you send the message using the broadcast feature, all those you added to the broadcast list will receive the message.
This option can be worrying if those you are broadcasting decide to report you or block you. In such an instance, WhatsApp may ban your number from WhatsApp. Send messages to only those in your circles who have your number.
USE WhatsApp SHARE BUTTON
The WhatsApp share button is added to or integrated into your website will permit readers to just tap on it and share your content with other readers in their network if they find it useful.
All these methods work very well and will bring you endless readers and traffic. It will also turn readers into free marking agents as they continue to share all your useful and engaging content with others.
