THROUGH
WHATSAPP NOISE

Don't put everyone in your broadcast list:
People find that intruding and annoying.
If you have a worthy cause, ask
permission from your contacts first.
2. PERMISSION LIST?
Don't add your Influencers/Mentors into your
groups or broadcast list without their
permission. In fact they don't even need to be
in your groups or broadcast list. Respect their
time and connection
3. GROUPS Let's face it most WhatsApp groups are just
making lots of noise with no or less value. How do
you expect to have effective communication with
50 to 100 people in a group? That is enough noise,
if each person is to comment on a post. Do this
evaluate your existing groups and exit some of
them, you have nothing really to lose. Your
productivity matters!
4. TRIVIAL STUFF?
With regards to having
Influencers/Mentors in your WhatsApp
contacts: to win their hearts and be in
their good books, don't bug them with
your trivial stuff I.e. "Hello sir, check my
latest song, joke, poem, article and give
me your views" like seriously? Again
your daily or weekly motivational
messages, devotions, poems etc may be
beneficial but we all don't want them,
seek permission before you spam. Build
a long time relationship with them
before asking for favours.
5. PROMOTIONS?
WhatsApp can be a good promotional
tool if used properly. Avoid contact
sharing on images and videos of your
programs and products. Survey indicates
it irritates many people. Instead build
good rapport with others. This is what I
do: while others broadcast and spam
daily, I make a minimum of 30
connections with my whatsapp contacts
daily. Not selling or promoting anything
rather asking them of their health, life
and family. Sometimes that all they
need. Offer value.
6. GRAMMAR?
The hard truth: use good grammar and avoid
all these shorthands(acronyms) and jargons.
Be polite and formal as much as possible.
7. SEEN?
Relax and have fun, don't take this 'last seen, last read' etc stuff
too seriously. The fact that someone is online doesn't mean they
should chat with you, respect their decisions. Be honest to
yourself and others and remember the Law of Sowing & Reaping :)
