How to Use Whatsapp Business App
Hey everyone in today's video, I wanted to show you how to use one app for business. Now, what's an app for business. It's a different app than what's app. The regular messenger app is actually a standalone app dedicated to businesses. So it's not like Instagram, where you change your personal account into a business account.
You actually have to download this new app. So let's download the app. I want to show you the setup process of the app and how to utilize this for your business and if it's your first time here. I post easy-to-follow social media and tech videos every single day of the week with nearly 500 videos made so far.
So please consider subscribing. So you never miss the next great app or social media update. So this is finally available on iPhone. It's been available to Android for a while, but let me go ahead and get it on the iPhone here. It just got a worldwide release. So, this is the very first page of the app.
Once you download an OPNET here again, I'm showing you here on my iPhone, I'm going to press continue. You could give us access to your contact. If you want. In this case, I will not do that and he's asking me if I want to use my phone number as my business number. I'm just going to say, okay, use that number of press next.
It just has to validate and verify my phone number. In this case, it's asking me to put a pin, so I'll put a pin to secure my account. Now he's going to ask to put in my business name here and he put my profile picture. It looks like from my regular WhatsApp. So you could go ahead and edit that and make it more business-appropriate and you need to do business category.
That is a required option and here I'll just pick entertainment here. This is actually best used for. Not an internet company. Like I'm using it here is best for small businesses. So if you deal with customers locally, this WhatsApp business is really intended more for that than what I'm trying to use it for here, and again, you could press edit here and go ahead and change your profile picture. Once you're done, those are the three things you have to fill out here press none and under chat is actually things from my what's app messenger app. So it's pulled out here, but the app looks exactly the same. So if you go-to status, for example, if you look on the bottom status, call camera chat settings, all the same, but under settings, this is where things are a little bit different.
So you'll see, you'll have a business setting option here. When you go to that settings page, I'm going to go ahead and press that. So here under the business settings, there's a couple of things we should set. One is a greeting message and the other one is a that way message. So greeting message could say, you could turn that on here and to everyone that sends you a message, it says, thank you for contacting how affinity, please let us know how we can help.
So that's the default message. You could obviously change that and change your recipients here to exclude people and you could always turn it off if you don't want to greet message, but this is great for people to get a message when they get here and you have your away message. You could turn that on if you're away.
So it says, thanks for your message. We're not available. We'll get back to you again. You could edit that and you could have a quick reply. So if you just type in slash thanks, for the example, it's going to do a quick reply here. You could always add a quick reply by pressing the plus sign, typing the short, but, and the message for it and added here and I'm going to go back and you could always edit your profile here so you could press edit and you could go ahead and add an address. You could change your category, add a description of business hours and add your website. So I'm definitely want to add my website here. Affinity.com and I are going to press save and make sure you add as much as possible on there that tab and then you could go to short links and you could start promoting this page again. You have to start promoting this page, otherwise, it's not going to be very useful. So you want to go ahead and click this short link here, copy it, and started sharing it with people and you could also create a default message.
So you could copy this link. Then I could share with my customers again, this is great for a local business, not an internet website that I have, what I wanted to demonstrate with this. I'll probably use my video production company to create an actual page. Once I'm done with this demonstration, and you could always go under status, click your status, press the pencil, and add a new status and now my status has been updated. I hope you found this WhatsApp for business. Tutorial useful. Give it a try, leave the comments in the description with some questions. And if you finding a useful, I think it's always great to get on new platforms when they're early and this is one of their earliest platforms for business available is a great way to connect with your customers.
