Monetize WhatsApp Tv Status

You can monetize your WhatsApp TV in various ways, which can increase your daily earnings as you keep getting more views.

Start Placing Advert on your WhatsApp Tv

You can monetize your WhatsApp status by running ads for people and getting paid in return. But this is only possible when you have more status viewers.

As a WhatsApp TV owner, your only chance of making money is when you have lots of status views (people viewing your status). “You can’t have just 35–60 status views and expect anyone to pay you for an advertisement.”

But in cases where you get up to 100–5,000 status views within 24 hours, you can be making at least N20,000 daily from advertisements. You charge your advertiser a certain amount per day and multiply it by the number of days they wish to advertise with you. Giving discounts on your advertising plan draws more advertisers.

Earn commissions through affiliate marketing or referral programs.

You can start referring your viewers to join any paying affiliate or referral program and earn some commission in return. The more you earn and post proof of payment, anyone interested will join and also make money through you. In turn, this will grow your business and bank account as you get more people to refer, and they will also earn through you.

What you need to do is write a short, interesting article about the affiliate or referral program and include your affiliate or referral link. The article should be written in such a way that it promotes the product. So it will trigger your audience to buy the product or register for the referral program to make money. And you’ll be earning commissions for doing SO.

Drawing Traffic to Website

If you have a website that you have monetized with any monetizing sites like AdSense, Monetizemore, etc. When you create an article and post it on your status to help them with one or two things, if the article turns out to be what your viewers are looking for, they are likely to click on the link and head on to your website.

The more they visit your website, the more you make money from it. This, in simple terms, means getting paid for writing. You write and get paid for the idea you have composed in your article, which in turn helps those in need of it.

Start Selling Your Product

If you’ve got a product to sell, this is a great opportunity to make your business sell more effectively. Some of your status viewers will be interested in your product. Your products can include clothes, wigs, Islamic wear, skin care products, etc.

You can even offer a different product at the same time to boost your chances of getting sales. Services like recharge cards and data are always in high demand.

And if you’re not offering these services, you can easily opt into offering recharge and data services to your followers.

Offer Online Classes to Your Whatsapp TV followers

Online classes are also one of the ways to make money with your WhatsApp TV. You can just create premium classes for your viewers who have an interest in what you want to teach.

Depending on what you want to teach, you can always decide how much they’ll pay you.
