Just saw this ad while I was researching for this article

Can you really send unlimited WhatsApp messages without any repercussions?

Let’s find out…

I understand that you need to grow your business and for that, you need to engage with your audience and promote your business.

WhatsApp has insanely high engagement rates which makes it the platform of choice for promoting your business

And the WASender tool helps you to do just that.

But…

That doesn’t mean that you can purchase a database that looks something like this

And then go around blindly spamming completely random people from a completely random database with a message that looks like this

Because…

Normally when you send a WhatsApp message it looks something like this

But…

When you message completely unknown people on WhatsApp…

This is what they see on their screen

Yes! That’s right!

When you message completely random strangers on WhatsApp!
Upon receiving your message they see these three buttons on their screen

1. Report
2. Block
3. Add to contacts

And obviously, since you so kindly spammed them, They are not going to save your number!
Instead, this is how they are going to react

Do you still want to try messaging unlimited number of people on WhatsApp?

Sure you can try this if you want!

But… I can bet that people will start reporting your number left right and center

And within an hour your number will be banned by WhatsApp!

The worst part about number banning from WhatsApp is you can’t even get the replies of the people who wanted to respond to your spam.

So all that effort goes down for nothing!

The solution is simple

Instead of blindly spamming a bunch of random people from a random database, create a filtered list of relevant people who are interested in what you’re offering.

Step-by-step process to create a list of relevant people for messaging

1. List down potential target audience
2. Get their contact numbers, you can use one or more of the following options
   • Purchase a database and segregate the data
   • Extract data from Google, JustDial or IndiaMart
3. Send them a WhatsApp message
   • Check the best first WhatsApp message format to avoid banning
   • Don’t overdo, check the limits. See How many Bulk WhatsApp messages is it safe to send?
4. Interact with the people who reply
   • Beware of auto replies, the people who send auto replies are not necessarily interested 
5. Ask a qualifying question
   

That’s it now you have a list of people who are relevant to your offer and interested in it!
