if you are struggling to find new customers for your business then this
video is for you because in the next few minutes I am going to teach you how we
can use the automation feature in Facebook using their messenger bot to
find and engage with our potential customers so let's get started
hello my name is that I make videos about online courses about productivity
tools and about other technology tools available to us so if you are interested
in this topic please subscribe to my channel and hit the bell I go that you
could be the first to get my next video today's video I'm going to show you a
huge opportunity which some people are calling as Facebook Gold Rush so let's
talk about what are bots pores are software which can automate few
processes are few tasks so what tasks we are talking about in here so when we are
talking about facebook messenger boards we are basically trying to automate the
conversation with our potential customers when we are not on our
Facebook if a customer asked a question or if a customer tried to engage with us
our bot will automatically reply the customer you can also present your
products your affiliate products or if your own products or services you can
present to your customers and them might buy your products and even if the dog
buy you can get their addresses are their emails and then you can later on
communicate with them so there are certain rules how to communicate with
this customer for example facebook says that the initial contact should be made
from the customer I will show you where you can find these policies and then you
have to follow those because you don't want your Facebook account to be seized
at banks so there are certain things you have to follow but it's a big
opportunity because you are trying to automate a whole process of engagement
so what we can do is you can create your own chat bot and this chat bot will be
in the form of a link and that link you can put on your website all on your
landing page and when a customer clicks on that link you will ask certain
question to the customer and these questions you make in the beginning
prior to making that chat board you create some questions you anticipate few
questions that these questions my customers might ask and then you reply
to those questions and then try to figure out what is going on and then you
present a product to the customer how we make these chat BOTS there are many
companies who are now using API to build applications and then people like you
and me we can go there and we can very quickly within 20-30 minutes we can
make our chat box because the interface is very simple and there is a race
between these companies to get the customers require the customers who are
trying to introduce this chat wash to their businesses because this is a new
thing opportunity is wide open not many people are using this so let's get
started I will jump on my computer I will show you a few things so if you go
at Google Trends and type the term chat BOTS this terms like this term and then
instead of this past 7 days if you select the period from 2004 to present
no this graph clearly indicates that before 2016 hardly anybody knows about
this term chat BOTS but since the Facebook announced their messenger
platform after 2016 you can see a huge rise in the popularity of this term
because when the businesses started using chat BOTS and then this trend
settles down around September 2017 at the current levels which are around 75
percent so the maximum is 100 so you can see clearly that how popular these chat
bots have become in the last two years one of the thing I would like to mention
here is that before you start using any messenger platform you should read this
page on Facebook which is titled the messenger platform policy overview on
this page you will find guidelines for all the three types of messaging which
we have discussed before so one of the important thing mentioned here is that
what are some of the conversation entry points so what are the entry points for
your bar to start conversation so these entry points are discussed in this area
as you can see here that for example a person sends a message to a business so
only then you can reply and you can start conversation within the 24 hour
messaging window and similarly a call to action for example if there is a button
on your website so that which says that send using the messenger or you are
using any plug-in or you are using your and
chatbot in which there is a button to connect to your business and the person
clicks that button so that is also a valid entry point similarly there are
guidelines available for all these all the types of messaging 24-hour message
guideline at the subscription messaging so you must read this page before you
start doing anything with the chat boards so although many companies have
started building apps for these chat BOTS where people like you and me can go
ahead and start building our messenger BOTS instantly but these are all based
on and powered by Facebook's own Bart engine so Facebook's the bot engine is
the brain of all these bots so two of the most popular platforms I will be
showing you in this short video one is the card man each addcom and the
other is chat fueled calm so both of these platforms are very similar in
functionality but there are few differences in the interface and the way
these platforms integrate with other ed like email marketing platforms and
analytics tool the most important thing for you to note is that it is not easy
to switch from one platform to another platform because you may lose some data
or even the subscribers therefore decide carefully which source you the best so
now I will show you how to open an account with many chat and type many
chat calm and then you can get started so so if you go to their pricing section
you will see that they have a free plan as well and then also a pro plan and the
pro plan is charged based on the number of subscribers while for the free plan
you have a limited sequences and limited broadcast option so this is something
you don't need in the beginning so you can start free and practice and if you
want to go for the pro account and you can see in the further details here that
or the pro account is charged up to 500 subscribers they are just charging $10
per month which is very affordable and from 500 to 1k the rate is different
it's $15 per month so this was about their pricing so you can get started
free and agree to their terms and sign in with the Facebook account
continuous my name so no the app will ask you permission so just click on what
you want to allow so click on this so here what I want to show you is that I
have these three business pages so these are my pages 1 2 3 and I don't want all
3 to be connected to many chats because I have already connected this digit idea
to another app which I will show you next and therefore I want only one page
one page I want to attach with this F so I will just select this and uncheck so I
will just check this and uncheck all others similarly here I have checked
this one and unchecked or other because it is asking permission for each and
every action the app will be performing on your behalf so no you have to check
so this is pages so I will uncheck all the pages and I will just check this
page and as you can see that when you check when you not completely check all
the pages so you will see a minus sign here and a tick here so if I select all
the pages then this will also be ticked so in this way now I have selected only
one page to attach with many chairs as you can see and now you can select as
many pages as you like and now I will press ok now it will ask to share a
little bit about your business or you can say whatever you want
what type of business is you for example I will say that business owner how many
people you have I would just say 1 what describes best your experience with
starting a marketing campaigns I am just starting so now as you can see here that
many chairs has the ability to connect with zpa so the APA is a fantastic app
which connects lot of apps together basically this is the function of zapier
so it has the integration system with zapier or just press Continue and now
here only one page one of my page is showing here so it means only this page
has been connected to many chat and I will just connect so let's talk about
your page when this account be used for an actual business yes
no the business description so there are few options here so you have to select
any of these options I would say this professional consulting please specify
teacher are you creating this account for a client or I am NOT doing this so I
will not check this box and you have to accept their terms as well continue so
now we are in their dashboard so you have to accept these conditions as well
so just press accept so this is the dashboard for many chat so most of your
time will be consumed in this area this flows area and this growth tools welcome
message from these guys and you can start a free course as well so now you
can start making your chat BOTS but this I will explain in detail in another
video so I hope that you find this video useful if so please subscribe to my
