We would discuss each of these methods briefly. Read on.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h2><strong>Steps to Create a WhatsApp Link Manually\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This method of creating a WhatsApp link is easy as long as you follow the format we&#8217;d be providing here. There is a general formula for creating a WhatsApp link, which is: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wa.me\/yoht\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/wa.me\/your WhatsApp number.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Your WhatsApp number would have to be used in the international format but without the &#8220;+&#8221; sign, the brackets, or the dashes. That means if your number is, for instance, 08143009111, you would have to use 2348143009111 when creating a WhatsApp link manually.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To illustrate what we just wrote up there, let&#8217;s create a WhatsApp link for the conjectural number, 08143009111. Below is the manual WhatsApp link for 08143009111:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wa.me\/2343009111\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Https:\/\/wa.me\/2343009111<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h2><strong>How to Create a WhatsApp Link Using a WhatsApp Link Generator Website\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is another method to create a WhatsApp link in Nigeria.\u00a0 This method involves you going on the internet in search of websites that allow you to create a WhatsApp link by just providing the WhatsApp link for your business. What&#8217;s more, you can also add a customized message if you choose to do so.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several websites on the internet that you can use to generate a WhatsApp link for your business. We would pick two of such websites we trust and discuss how you can use these WhatsApp link generator websites. The first website we recommend is the WA.link domain, and it&#8217;s free to use. It takes you only a minute or less to create a WhatsApp using this website. You may also customize your WhatsApp link with a message if you like.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow these steps to create a WhatsApp link on the WA.link domain:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visit the WA.link domain or click on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/create.wa.link\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/create.wa.link\/<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Input your business&#8217; WhatsApp number in the required field<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to add a customized message to your WhatsApp link, provide the message that your potential customers can send to you<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click on &#8220;Generate my WA.link&#8221; to complete the process.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Immediately a link would appear on the screen for you to copy it. This link that appears is the one you would use for your marketing campaign to drive your customers to send you a direct message on WhatsApp.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to monitor the statistics of each link you created on the Wa.link domain, you would need the premium version. In other words, you&#8217;ll need to pay to use this feature.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second WhatsApp link generator website we recommend is the Veepar domain (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/vepaar.com\/whatsapp-link-generator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/vepaar.com\/whatsapp-link-generator\/<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But before you can use the Veepar domain to create a WhatsApp link you would have to create an account with the website first. After successfully registering on the website which would take two minutes at most, log into your newly created Veepar account.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow these steps to\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">generate your WhatsApp link:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visit the Veepar domain at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/vepaar.com\/whatsapp-link-generator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/vepaar.com\/whatsapp-link-generator<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Input your number in the appropriate field on the website. But you must provide your number in the international format. That is to say, use the 234 code when supplying your WhatsApp number\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Provide a customized\u00a0 message you want your customers to send to you (Optional)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click &#8220;Get Link&#8221; to complete the process.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Copy the generated link and share it where you want your potential customers to see<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h2><strong>How to Manually Create a WhatsApp Link that Contains a Customized Message\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This method of creating a WhatsApp link allows you to add a customized message manually.

The customized message we want the potential customers to send 08143009111 is: I want to buy sneakers from you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here&#8217;s how to do it: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wa\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/wa.me\/2348143009128?text=I %20want%20to%20buy%sneakers%20from%20you<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h2><strong>What are the Advantages of Creating a WhatsApp Link?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a business owner who&#8217;s to trying better the digital marketing strategy of your business, creating a WhatsApp link for business would prove useful. This is because your potential customers would find it easier to communicate with you by just clicking on the WhatsApp link of your business.
