2026 Lagos State Affiliate Marketing — Free Business Advertising WhatsApp Groups (Step-by-step guide)

Why this matters: Lagos is where buyers, sellers, and decision-makers collide. WhatsApp still converts better than fancy ads for many small businesses—fast, direct, and low-cost. 7hubent Tech runs a large free-advertising WhatsApp ecosystem you can plug into for reach and sales. They claim roughly 980,000 daily views across their channels and run curated group links and status channels that target Nigerian buyers. (7hubent.com.ng)

Step 1 — Pick one clear goal (sell, recruit, or capture leads)

Decide what you want from the group post. Examples:
• Sell a product now (fast-response call-to-action)
• Recruit affiliates or drop shippers (clear program terms)
• Capture leads (short form, WhatsApp number or Google form link)
A single measurable goal lets you write a single crisp post that converts.

Step 2 — Choose the right 7hubent channel or Lagos group

7hubent publishes categorized WhatsApp group links for Lagos sellers, markets, niches (fashion, electronics, food, services). Start with the Lagos market pages and the curated Nigeria Active Business list that often appears alongside their posts. Join the group that tightly matches your offering—for example, Lagos market or Lagos sellers—so your message reaches buyers who actually want what you sell. (7hubent.com.ng)

Step 3 — Prepare a high-converting post (template you can reuse)

Write one short, direct message you can paste into groups. Use this structure:

1. Hook (one line): What you sell and who it’s for.

2. Offer (one line): Price, discount, or benefit.

3. Proof (one line): Quick social proof or turnaround time.

4. CTA (one line): How to order — WhatsApp number, “PM me”, or link.
   Example:
   Lagos fashion buyers: Ankara skirts ready-to-ship — 2 for 1 this weekend. Orders delivered in 48 hours. DM or WhatsApp 081******* to order now.

Step 4 — Provide affiliate-friendly terms for partners

If you want affiliates to promote for you, give them a one-sentence onboarding and a clear commission. For example: “Join as affiliate — 10% per confirmed sale. Send product image + price, earn on delivery.” Make payouts simple (bank transfer, USSD, or cash pickup) and track via a shared Google Sheet or a short code system.

Step 5 — Post smart, not loud

When you post in WhatsApp groups:
• Post during peak chat times (mornings 8–10am, evenings 6–9pm).
• Limit identical reposts — vary copy and images to avoid being flagged.
• Use one good product photo and one short caption; overly long posts get ignored.
• Respond fast to inquiries. Fast replies equal higher conversions.

Step 6 — Leverage 7hubent’s free promo options and support

Step 7 — Track, tweak, repeat

Track: source of order, time, and conversion rate. Tweak: change photo, tighten CTA, adjust price. Repeat: keep your best-performing message and test a new angle every 3–7 days.

Step 8 — Scale with affiliate marketing and cross-posting

Once one message works, scale by:
• Recruiting 5 top affiliates from the group (give referral codes).
• Cross-posting the message across multiple Lagos-specific groups and platform channels (status, Telegram channel, 7hubent pages).
• Expanding to related niches (weddings, corporate gifts) where Lagos buyers also live.

Step 9 — Keep trust and compliance front of mind

• Don’t spam: Join groups with rules and follow them.
• Be honest with stock and delivery times.
• Use transparent pricing and refund policies.
Trust converts repeat customers.
