WhatsApp Business is becoming one of the most popular low-cost ways to start an online business in 2025.
First of all, you have to create a WhatsApp channel and then build a loyal audience to earn money online. So, in this, you have to follow some strategies like dropshipping, affiliate marketing, digital product selling, print on demand, coaching, and much more.
Step 1: Choose a Profitable Online WhatsApp Business Model.
Before creating a WhatsApp channel, you first have to decide what you want to sell. After that, select one of the top trending business ideas that you have in your mind and start selling it on WhatsApp.
1. Dropshipping
Start your own online store without inventory. Inventory means that you do not keep any product in your house or shop to sell. You can directly sell it through your partner or supplier, and you will get a commission. Therefore, you can also sell directly through WhatsApp.
2. Digital marketing products
You can sell digital ebooks and PDFs online, exam courses, templates, and digital tools. So, this will help people grow their business online.
Create your digital product and deliver it instantly via WhatsApp, and collect your payments through UPI/QR code. Many teachers share paid PDF notes on WhatsApp and earn steady side income.
3. E-commerce WhatsApp Business (Clothing, Gadgets)
Turn WhatsApp into your online shop by listing products in the catalog. You can create WhatsApp clothing stores and display your products there. Moreover, you can view and receive your orders directly via chat.
4. Print on demand
You can design custom T-shirts and phone cases for sale. Here, you can start print-on-demand services such as Printful and Printify, websites that handle printing and shipping costs.
Just collect orders via WhatsApp and fulfill them via print-on-demand partners.
5. Affiliate Marketing
Promote products from Amazon, Flipkart, or any other shopping platform or app using an affiliate link and get a commission on every sale. Share product links in your WhatsApp groups or status and use link shorteners like Bitly to track clicks.
Example: A gadget reviewer shares Amazon links in his WhatsApp group and earns around ₹5,000–₹8,000 per month in commissions.
6. Coaching and Counseling
In coaching and counselling, you can reach out personally to give career counselling, fitness training, exam preparation and study tips, or mental health support. Since WhatsApp has a video section, audio section, and chat, you can contact people and sell digital courses through WhatsApp.
Create paid groups where subscribers pay monthly for tips, videos, or live sessions. However, a fitness trainer charges ₹999/month for diet plans and workout plans via a WhatsApp group.
7. Reselling WhatsApp Business
You can start your own reselling business through WhatsApp in which you sell bulk products. For example, reselling hosting service through WhatsApp.
Pro Tip: Start small with local suppliers to test demand.
Step 2: Create a WhatsApp Channel for Business
1. First of all, you have to download WhatsApp from the Google Play Store or App Store. If you already have it, then update it.
2. After that, tap on the Update option and click on the three lines on top or the plus icon and create your channel.
3. Here, you have to choose a channel name (e.g., Trickcash Earning Tricks & Earn from Home).
4. Next, add a business description (e.g., Trickcash provides app reviews, earning offers, mobile tricks, and digital marketing tips).
5. Then, upload your logo or any banner that can help users know about your online store.
6. Finally, all done!
When your WhatsApp Business channel is live, now it is time to grow it with a loyal audience. However, just start by sharing your WhatsApp channel invite link with:
- Family members and friends
- Other WhatsApp groups
- Social media like Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, YouTube Shorts guide, or your website/blog
- Email subscription
- Twitter followers and LinkedIn connections
Additionally, you can post on social media and use captions like
“Want to start your own online business? So join my WhatsApp channel for free and get daily updates.”
Step 4: Sell Products Daily and Promote Them
Smart and hard work are the keys to success in the WhatsApp business.
(i) Post Daily
- Upload product photos and videos with price
- Add customer reviews
- Use tricks like limited-time offers
- Give weekly discount offers
(ii) Share with Network
Ask your family members and friends to reshare your WhatsApp channel invite link with their friends.
(iii) Use Other Platforms
Moreover, promote your WhatsApp channel via:
- YouTube (make short videos and upload)
- Instagram Reels (same as YouTube)
- Facebook ads to promote your online store
- Telegram channel creation
- Influencer collaborations
Real-Life Example Case Study
Here, I am sharing one real-life experience of my friend who lives in Bareilly: he sold 200+ digital clocks via WhatsApp and made ₹20000 in 2 months.
A fitness coach runs a paid WhatsApp group for online workout plans and diet tips, earning steady monthly income.
