How To Make Money Through Whatsapp and Instagram?

How To Make Money Through Whatsapp and Instagram? I don’t know if you ever asked yourself this question. Yeah! About making money on whatsapp or Instagram.  Before I start telling you on the way people ( users)  make real money through those app; we have to know or understand them –

What is Whatsapp?

According to whatsapp.com – WhatsApp Messenger is a cross-platform mobile messaging app which allows you to exchange messages without having to pay for SMS. WhatsApp Messenger is available for iPhone, BlackBerry, Android, Windows Phone and Nokia and yes, those phones can all message each other. According to Wikipedia – WhatsApp Messenger is an instant messaging app for smartphones that operates under a subscription business model. The proprietary, cross-platform app enables users of select feature phones to use the Internet to communicate. In addition to text messaging, WhatsApp can be used to send images, video, and audio media messages. Locations can also be shared through the use of integrated mapping features. WhatsApp has also rolled out the most awaited feature of voice calling through out the globe recently.

What is Instagram

As defined by themselves – Instagram is a fun and quirky way to share your life with friends through a series of pictures. Snap a photo with your mobile phone, then choose a filter to transform the image into a memory to keep around forever.

Or By Wikipedia  – Instagram (portmanteau of Instant Telegram) is an online mobile photo-sharing, video-sharing and social networking service that enables its users to take pictures and videos, and share them on a variety of social networking platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Flickr.

I believe you must be a user of either both of them or one of the apps. The Instagram app is a straight forward application, you take pictures , a room to edit and then post it on your Instagram wall. Now how do people make money, some make money by promoting their product on those app but the experience I have is a little bit different.

As you all know in whatsapp you can create groups, now some users have been making money through those groups in interaction with the Instagram page.

This is how it works in my Country .

Lets say you are a very good on tips about weight loss and you have your Instagram page with followers who are reading those tips, and your not making any money on Instagram. Now lets say you have something special to share and your sure it help people shed their belly fat but you don’t want to share it for free. Then you give a tip on that trick to shed fat and tell your followers that for those who want the whole trick and the chat session on how to make it happen to DM you (Direct Message) their phone number and you will add them on the Whatsapp group; but that process will happen after you receive payment ( amount you have set); Now how the payment is done depends with your location – In my country we have mobile payment Mpesa , Tigo Pesa, Airtel Money and Zpesa .

M-Pesa (M for mobile, pesa is Swahili for money) is a mobile-phone based money transfer and microfinancing service, launched in 2007 by Vodafone for Safaricom and Vodacom, the largest mobile network operators in Kenya and Tanzania. – I have just given the definition of M-pesa because all the companies mentioned operate on the same nature. If someone send you money using these Mobile money transfer, their name is display in the transaction message.

You create the  group and give out the time when the group will be active normally is two to three hour and then the group is closed and deleted, another group will be formed for a new topic of the day.  In the group will give the trick the whole of it and answer some question which some will be asking.  This can be done on any topic, from fitness, mechanics, agricultural , marketing etc. Thats how it works.

I believe even Paypal can be used on this kind of service for payment.
