Whatsapp as traffic source works?

Hi everyone,

I wonder if somebody has experience using bulk Whatsapp messages as traffic source to CPA campaigns. How would it compare to SMS Marketing or other similar sources?

Cheers all

Hmm never thought of it.

I am not sure how legal would that be tbh. I remember companies getting huge fines for SMS spamming in the past.

It's being done. Right now. Some guys are promoting casino offers using whatsapp bulk messages.

From my reconnaissance, I noticed on a lot of facebook groups, people were openly commenting their phone numbers to be added to whatsapp groups. sometimes it could be for a wholesale buyers whatsapp group, sometimes jobs. The comments can reach as much as 200-300. All phone numbers

A few times, i even copied the exact status that generated that much response. Word for Word. And I reposted it right above the original one.

I guess they didnt even noticed that it was the same as I had plenty of people commenting on my status next, leaving their phone numbers.
Hungry buyers.

I was also surprised to see how easily people would share their whatsapp numbers. I have started collecting them from a SEO website to send people updates (pretty much like a newsletter), so there is some opt-in involved. My initial idea is to send some links to CPA offers among the updates and see how they convert, but I expect there are other things to explore

Seen a few threads on BHW on this, it's definately being done! Whatsapp wallpaper offers come to mind... Or adult dating/video offers. Never used WhatsApp myself, is your actual phone number = your WhatsApp number? Or is there a specific unique WhatsApp number you get when you register?
