Channel IdeasChannels grow slowly for most people, and that is fine. The honest ways to grow are simple.
Where to share
- On your shop board, bill and visiting card with the channel's QR code. WhatsApp says your channel has a link and QR code you can share in chats, status and other apps.
- In your own status and your own groups, once in a while.
- On your other social profiles and your website.
What makes people stay
Useful, regular, short updates. People unfollow noisy channels. Do not post more often than you can keep useful.
What not to do
- Do not add people to groups and then push them to your channel.
- Do not buy followers; they do not read.
- Do not send unwanted messages to many numbers; see why we avoid bulk messages.
- Do not promise income or luck.
Be patient
A small channel of people who read is worth more than a large one that does not. Read the posting plan to keep going.
