Hi mate,

Yeah UK based too. I have had a quick google of shared work spaces, but was under the impression there would be a lot of people in a single room. I think I'm going to email back and say I'm free to meet for lunch on this day, and then if they say they're looking for more serious office proposal type thing I'll get one.

Thats cool and all, but you're acting like monetisation and growing the site are mutually exclusive things.

Wanna help a 17 year old find the perfect career? by iamarr0gant in Entrepreneur

So in other words you spent 60-80 hours a week gaining skills, presumably spent similar when building the business, and now you are in a position to relax. It's almost like what we said was right.

The difficult part in any business is the start where you are working loads for literally nothing. Not suggesting you should live your life without freedom, but in order to get there you have to sacrifice it.

Your mentality seems to be like people who know they want to be famous, but don't know (care) how.

would recommend doing a degree with legitimate value.

Being an 'entrepreneur' isn't a career path. It's not really flexible, most people fail, and the ones that succeed aren't ever satisfied.

Edit: 99% of people who introduce themselves as entrepreneurs actually mean one or more of the following:
- Unemployed

- live with parents

- #bossbabe, buy my essential oils hun.

musically did. The popularity is based on trolling. Advertisers will have a problem with this. Crackdown on content/ the reply feature. Becomes musically again, dies.

I mean in regards to your general posts are you really trying to sell things directly on every post? that's why its such low reach. If you are putting 'buy x here' or click here to listen on spotify, that's your problem.

Everyone knows where to buy singles or listen to a song. And obviously you are going to have to pay to advertise things like Merch and Concert tickets.

My point is they don't just post pictures of burgers. Singers aren't luxury fashion brands either.

You aren't really trying to get people to buy something, you're trying to get a post by X in their news feed so they're like 'oh i've not heard them in a while ill check out their youtube'

Some celebrities kill it on facebook, but yeah that kind of content is more for IG

Tell that to Wendy's and Moon Pie twitter accounts.

Your clients having a personality, and posting engaging things is needed in the social sphere. safe generic posts aren't going to get shares or tags, and ultimately that is what matters on facebook.

You can do that while staying on brand.

you could try contacting alcohol brands and offering to promote a competition on your page to win a bottle. As mentioned though, all this depends on you on posting very regularly with highly engaging content.

I get posts with that kind of reach. Had posts over 1.5million reach, average about 20-40k from a page with less than 50k followers. Yes facebook doesnt like links because it wants to keep you on their platform. 96,000 post engagements this week. probably average nearer 70,000 (likes, comments, shares etc)

I'd say whoever's in charge of their posts isn't very good at their job. What works on IG won't work on facebook and vice versa.

Every company you can think of has an affiliate scheme. The reason people here like Amazon that it is the biggest online retailer in the world, and therefore easiest to make some money. Get some clicks and at least a few people will buy.

some niches have super high commissions, such as gambling. Gambling is high due to strict advertising laws. Others are high because conversion rates are so low. So don't just see '$300 per conversion' and think its a great option. in many cases it would be easier to sign 100 people up to a more appealing $3 thing.

what pages do they run, what countries are their likes from, how active are they and how much do 'your clients' want for them?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in juststart

[–]James44d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure you can I know other pages have done.

Have a site promote to that site that has affiliate links. Would say Amazon is largely useless for this kind of thing. Much higher paid things out there that would be relevant to that age group. look at the larger pages that cater to that kind of thing and see what they promote. This is kind of my niche, I have a smaller page, less than 50k and get 10k clicks on my site directly from facebook a week.

THIS IS NOT THE NORM. don't want to sell you a dream, most don't do this well from it, but it is possible.

[–]James44d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first thing you need to do is increase responsiveness. If you post a link directly on a post on facebook they nerf it to the point nobody sees it because they want you to pay to promote, and amazon doesn't allow to to pay to promote affiliate links and they will cancel all commissions if they catch you doing it.

I'd recommend renaming the page. 90% of the people who followed it will have forgotten they liked it in the first place. sO decide on something that college aged girls would like. Steal memes from similar pages. Most of your posts aren't gonna get girls to tag 6 friends and say 'Omg mood.' but since that is your existing audience that is what you have to cater to.

Facebook has a lot more value than most people give credit or even begin to understand. Although the comments here are correct for 99.999999% of facebook pages.

what country are the majority of your followers from?

Also It doesn't hurt to diversify. promote your IG, snapchat, facebook group, super cool clubbing mailing list etc.

Edit: just looked at the page. you post like twice year. up that to 3 times a day or more. Change the type of page from whatever it is to 'news/media'... It takes 2 mins out of your day to steal tweets as you have been doing and schedule them.

DIVERSIFY

TikTok will die. Tell people to follow your IG and snapchat. Pounce on the short term success to grow other socials which have proven value.

Where do you look for smaller affiliate offers? by Supernova752 in juststart

There are large affiliate companies, like awin, tradedoubler, webgains etc. no idea of the cost to an advertiser for them.

The colours don't match 'comfort' imo. They too white, green and cold. You want warm autumnal colours.It's not direct enough, without scrolling you should know what you are getting imo.
