3. Posting Short Links
Someone must have sent you a website link in short form on WhatsApp, and you were so curious to know what it says, then you reluctantly click the link or you copied and pasted the link on your browser to view it.

Follow the steps below;

4. Affiliate Marketing
You can make lots of money through marketing with affiliate links and it is easy to do.
This method comes in handy, especially with those group chat that pay interest to a specific area of conversation. For instance in a group chat that all they talk about is Fashion or gadget devices.
Tell them about the latest dress and how beautiful and lovely it is or about the latest gadget or computer device and what they do.
Before this you must have registered with affiliate networks online such as Amazon Affiliate, Commission Junction, Jumia Affiliate, konga affiliate and so on.
When you register for affiliate program, they will give you a link to advertise their products and they pay you commission for every sale made through your link.
What you have to do is Copy the link of the particular product you are advertising and paste it on the group chat or share it with your contacts.
Before pasting the links, have a discussion with them, try to convince them by giving reasons they should buy the product. Those interested will click on the link to make a purchase after which you get a commission.
Imagine being in a group that contains 200 members, and you promoted a product that costs N10,000 and N3,000 is your commission for each sale.
If 20 people from the group make purchases, you receive 60,000 as commission.
Always be polite with your clients and be certain they are interested in the product and if they show interest, make sure the product is available for delivery anything, anywhere.

For instance if you are a fashion designer, photographer, graphic design artist, have any other skill or if you sell a particular product or offer a particular service, you can create a business card and send to your contacts or group chat on WhatsApp.
When you can’t afford any product, you can build an online store of your own and engage in ‘drop-shipping’ which is copy and post the product of different suppliers, together with the links of these products to your WhatsApp group chat or contact.
Those interested will click on the link which direct them to your online store and if they place an order, the suppliers of that product will ship the goods to them and you receive a commission.
