Ever watch the TV show “Fantasy Island” (the plane! the plane!) long long ago, back when the word ‘Java’ actually meant ‘coffee’?
It had quite the premise – visitors would be able to experience their most cherished fantasies but somehow, something would go wrong and situations would become dire.
That’s kinda sorta what happens when people buy software that ends up doing them wrong… simply because they had zero clue how to use it to begin with.
Take, for example… Chatbots.
Chatbots are great if they accomplish the goal (sign up to list, get store hours, buy a product, etc.)… but they can become the KoD (Kiss of Death) to your goals if you don’t meticulously think about what truly is needed.
Are you considering a chatbot? If so, you might want to mosey by the following article (and be sure you return here once you’re done so you can enjoy even more great resources):

This post gives you not 1, not 2 but 9(!) tips regarding increasing business via chatbots, including:
“Start by defining your value proposition
Awesome – you’re building your first Messenger bot. If you’ve established your goals for your campaign, you’re already off to a great start. But what’s in it for the user? Why should they engage with your bot?
Now you need to turn that into a value for the customer. The value can be a lead magnet, a discount, a gift, a coupon, even stickers. Or it could be a fun quiz! Find the right value you want to provide and make sure it’s delivered to the user immediately.”
and
“Map out your Chatbot in a flowchart
Aah, I remember the early days, when I built my first ManyChat bot. It was a hot mess.
Don’t be like me.
Chatbots are complex products. So define your ideal endpoint, your opening message, and then map the journey in between, all in a nice flowchart with drop-off points and conditional splits. We recommend Draw.io for this.
Don’t overdo it though, this is just your prep work. You’re preparing yourself for the real work in ManyChat” and more!
The topic of increasing one’s income via chatbots could be the subject of a blog post, tutorial, and/or cheatsheet. You could structure it like so:
Step 1.) Decide how you want to profit
Step 2.) Sketch out an if/then conversation
Step 3.) Look for chatbot software and make it so!
