The strategy:
The process of registration is similar to WhatsApp, i.e. after app installation, the user will receive a verification code. Upon complete validation, users can quickly extend their network by importing phone book contacts and inviting their friends to join WeChat or connect with a Facebook account.
Next, update the profile with details of your website, or the product/service offered. If you have no worries about privacy issues, you can input your contact number as well. Example below:
