A day in the life of a WeChat user

There are 2 types of people in the world: people who use WeChat, and people who don’t use WeChat.

This popular saying in China shows how important WeChat is to us. WeChat has truly become a phenomenon that pretty much no one can live without. It is every vital app you have in your mobile phone blended into one mega-app.

Follow along as I narrate a typical day in the life of a WeChat user (such as myself) and find out why WeChat’s features make life so much easier.

12am: posting products in WeChat group

When it’s 12am in Ireland, it’s already 8am in China. Right now, I’m posting Christmas items to my WeChat group. Many people in China check WeChat as soon as they wake up.

Thanks to me, they’ll have something to look forward to in the morning! My loyal customers send me private messages to secure their orders, while others compare prices on Taobao.

2am: Web WeChat

At 2am, I hop on my laptop and log onto Web WeChat because it is easier to type on and use than on mobile. I place the orders customers requested from the products I posted earlier on mobile WeChat.

Just as I get ready for bed, I receive private messages from more customers asking for the same product. Luckily, I had planned ahead, and ordered extras. I receive WeChat payment transferred by customers, and happily lay down to sleep.

4am: sending WeChat’s Lucky Money

As a WeChat addict, I find myself waking up and I can’t help but grab my phone and check to see if any friends or customers left me messages. Awesome! One of my customers just invited her friend to join the group.

As a rule to encourage sharing, I send lucky money to the group whenever someone brings in a new member. Not sure what lucky money is? See #8 on my list of 8 secret WeChat features.
