So the title says it..
And this has been in the making for a while, but basically a while back I started a Facebook page ( over 6 months ago ) and with this, I plan to have a website / shirts etc.. Just a project of mine.
I won't tell you the niche I'm targeting, but I will tell you that my page has just got over 1000 likes, almost 1100 now and it's growing quickly!
Now, you may think "But 6 months to get 1k likes?, that's a long time" - Correct!, I agree. But hear me out first..
I've barely posted.. Most of these likes were grown in the first month or two ( about 500 of them ) and since the time I've been in Europe, it grew to about 900. And now recently, I've picked it up and started posting again. ( this last week, I have gotten from about 930 likes, to now 1070 ).
Things I tried:
Buying likes for my page through facebook targeted ads:
I recommend only doing this until you get your first couple of hundred. But I feel most of these likes are fake honestly.. Even if it's bought on facebook.. I got literally no engagement from these likes. 10 dollars got me about 30 likes?. . Not worth it, but you will need to get some likes to get the page some numbers.
Boosted posts:
This is what you're going to do to grow your page and here's why.
My recent boosted post, I spent 10 dollars ( again ) and the results?
So, we have the results as seen in the photo:
From a 10 dollar boosted post.
So as you can see, boosting your post is a much quicker way to grow your page.. Now imagine if I put in 100 dollars.
Not only is the engagement so much more better, it's real people.. This is the difference.
There's no point having a Facebook page with 100k likes but no engagement on the page.. I'd rather have a page with 1k likes and engagement instead of 100k likes with none.. Why?, because atleast some of them might buy my shit.
Also.. My other posts are getting more likes, comments and engagement since getting actual real likes.
Anywho.. Needless to say; I'm back to growing my page and to keep on track I'm making it a progress thread because I want to show you guys what I learn and fail at whilst in the process of this.
So why a Facebook page?:
Here's why.
If I want to make a website targeted towards this niche, I can send people from the page to the website and grow it much faster.
If I want to create a youtube channel towards this niche; Again, I can use this page to cross market between the two.
If I want to sell merch, I can use this page to do so.
So, in terms of youtube.. I can use these cheap ads to send real subscribers to the channel and market and boost my subscriber rate ( in theory ). Hell, I'd be lucky to even get 300 views with the same video on youtube... But that 10 dollars gave me 60k views.. I could create a call to action sending them to more videos on my youtube = More subs, views.
I'll keep you guys updated on how my page grows, meanwhile you can check any of my other threads if you wish.
Cheers
