What does ‘Having a Spammer Profile’ mean?
Let’s look at one to understand

Here is everything that’s wrong with the profile
- I don’t know who this guy/ girl/zombie or ghost is!
- And from the profile as you can already see I have no way of making out who it is!
- There is no profile picture
- Or a visible psedonym that I can use to get some as to who it is
- All I see is a bunch of spam that is totally unrelated!
I didn’t ask for this and I don’t know what the hell it is about!
So what do you think is going to happen if this message from this particular profile is going to land up in hundreds or even tens off what’s up numbers?
People are going to block and report left right and center
How do you avoid a fate like that for yourself?
It’s pretty simple… Just a few steps and at least this part of it is sorted
- Add a profile picture and a name that is relevant to the message that you are sending to people
- If possible create a profile on WhatsApp business and use WhatsApp business for your WhatsApp campaigns.
- Fill out all the details in the profile so that people can instantly change who you are and what you are messaging them about!
- Turn your privacy off so that people can see it!
If you value your privacy – Use separate personal and business WhatsApps!
Do all this and you should be sorted from the profile optimization steps.
Here’s what an ideal completely optimized profile looks like!
