Currently the WhatsApp application has become one of the necessities, probably almost all smartphone holders use it. Business actors must be able to take advantage of this feature and have a marketing strategy in establishing good relationships with customers, to smooth business transactions with consumers, to be able to improve services, to make interactions easier and faster. Here are 7 steps on how to sell online on WhatsApp in order to attract many buyers as follows:

1. Download Whatsapp Business
We recommend that you use a new special number, and choose a beautiful number so that it is easy for customers to remember. A beautiful new number will show the professionalism and credibility of the store.

2. Fill in the Business Profile and Business Description
Fill in a clear and complete business profile which will provide valid information about your store, including: service days and store operating hours, Store profile photo, Link to the store's official website (if any), Business email. Store address (if you own a shop building). Besides that, you can also set Greeting massage: Automatic welcome message for new customers to chat.
Away message: Automatic reply if there is an incoming chat outside operating hours or the admin is offline. Complete business profile information will be a validation that your number is official so that it will increase consumer confidence.

3. Promote Store WhatsApp Number
This promotion is expected so that consumers save your Whatsapp shop number, or at least they can find it easily. For this you can include a Bio Link (the link listed in the profile description on your social media account).

4. Collect Consumer Contact Numbers and Manage them well
You can get the contact number from potential customers when they register. You can manage contact numbers by grouping which are customers, newcomers or just hit and run.

5. Catalog Features
The catalog feature contains products/services in the form of photos/videos complete with descriptions and prices. There is also an add to chart feature that can be directly clicked if consumers want to order, compiling an attractive, detailed, and good catalog. Use photos that explain the quality and description of the product. So you need to also publish the catalog.

6. Take advantage of WhatsApp Stories
Carry out marketing campaigns by sharing advertising and product content through WhatsApp Stories, so that every consumer who saves a Whatsapp store number will receive a message when you upload content, in the hope that they will be interested and immediately place an order.

7. Use Promotions That Can Arouse Consumer Emotions
This strategy is considered effective so it is often used by traders to arouse consumer emotions such as,
- Limited stock of goods only for loyal customers.

Good point, selling on WhatsApp is simple and easy way to make money but people don't usually recognise this way of making money. I can say is a good way to grow your selling and when I check on Facebook and Tiktok, I see how a lot of people are asking followers to join their WhatsApp groups. These are all to make money by sell products on the WhatsApp groups.

Some people even use WhatsApp status to promote their products and through that they get a lot of customers. WhatsApp is not for chatting our love ones alone but is a platform to make money too only if you know how to make it. I have a friend who sells shoes via WhatsApp and he is making good money on the smart phone. I think it is time for those who sell physical products to start promoting their products on WhatsApp to get customers.
