How to setup a Whatsapp channel

 

WhatsApp channels

WhatsApp channels are a great way to share news and articles with your readers and get more recurring traffic. We believe WhatsApp channels are a great way for publishers to turn their readers into loyal followers. 

By getting your readers to follow your WhatsApp channel, you can ensure they are notified of new content and read it straight away. You should ask your readers to turn ON notifications as it is turned OFF by default. 

Followers can turn on the notifcations by tapping the Notifcation bell. 

WhatsApp channels are a very efficient content distribution method. After all, who doesn't check their WhatsApp!
