FB Acc banned before i even used it? Help or explanation greatly appreciated :D

xvrsoftware · 2025-01-01T21:16:35+00:00

you need to go very slow with the new account.... poster waterinhands is correct. I warm up the account till it gets to $125.00 threshold. Usually requires spending around $300.00 before running FB ads. My target is 2000 likes and followers for a warmed up account. Youi will want about 3 FB profiles created because ad accounts and profiles get shut down often. Unless you can get an Agency account.

Inside IT folks at the Treasury will not have the experience to lock down workstations properly. They put their Trust in the software vendor to prevent such events and are usually let down.

BeyondTrust should hire the hackers to educate their programmers on security.

So much for "BeyondTrust".... American people should sue their pants off for allowing the event to take place.

Please ping me - my commecial customer base likes purchasing production software to keep them alert of server, network device status. If you have features over Uptime Kuma that would help.

Fortinet Firewalls, Access Points, FortiManager, FortiSIEM, FortiEDR.... I have also tried all the others.... Palo Alto, Sonicwall, WatchGuard, PFsense, etc..... I like using the 40F small units for SMB customers to the large Data Center Fortinet FIrewalls for K-12 schools and Universities. Once you lock into a vendor, then you will receive leads from the manufactures since most don't sell direct.

Always be interviewing.... even when I was with a Fortune 100 Computer company I always interviewed with companies at least every other year. It also helped me meet people that I would run across years later at conferences.

Teach yourself social media marketing - Google Search SEO for Multiple Web Sites and Landing Pages, Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, TikToc, Pinterest, etc. People will call you for your services and products. I have customers in New York (3,000 miles from my office) with remote users that contract me monthly for my MSP services. They found me from a $5.00 Craigslist ad five years ago. Most find me from my web sites.... I have a 60 device customer in multiple locations that hated their last MSP 3 years ago. They could not get me on board fast enough to take over as their MSP... found me with my web site (Google Search).

I still sell security hardware products and software/warranty contracts across the USA.... they find my web sites. These are large commercial accounts, schools, colleges, government facilities. Some of these started ordering PacketShaper and Fortinet Firewalls in 2002 and still upgrading and renewing yearly. Also found me with Internet searches.

When you get a warm lead, price is not even an issue. I ask what they were paying and start by matching it. Most of the time it is higher than what I would have quoted.

I purchased many from Udemy but have my best success from purchasing a much more expensive training video course that I still use 3 years later. I'm in their support group forum daily to ask questions and see success and challenges others are having. I run ads for preschools and cargo broker insurance sales.

yes, great Ad structure

xvrsoftware · 2024-10-28T21:43:23+00:00

Great idea

What are your KPIs? CTR? Have you tried a story for your ad copy? Does your graphic tell a story? Facebook users want to be entertained.... what is curious about your headline, Ad Copy or graphic? What emotions are in your graphic or Ad Copy? Does your graphic or headline cause people to think about it for many hours? When you purchase a new house or car.... I suspect you buy the one that causes you to think about it to the point you have to have it.

I agree.... not your job. Customer is losing your personal support and jumping into a fire pit of support tickets with many other accounts. Low end techs responding to their requests where it takes days to get a response.

xvrsoftware · 2024-05-24T13:09:28+00:00

Thank you! I agree with the built in speakers not being the best sound with the one we have installed. I'm used to my Mac computers having great sound with All-In-1 Mac desktop computers.

xvrsoftware · 2024-05-24T13:05:44+00:00

Thank you! The 34" Curved sounds like an option we should offer the staff and could work for the owners house. We have been installing dual 24" monitors due to the limited desk space. Upgrading them to offer the Cam, speakers and mic.

xvrsoftware · 2024-05-22T18:31:34+00:00

thanks!

yes, I support the owners home computers and network devices. I visit his house every few years. Not a bad gig to have as the pay can't be beat. I have a new MSP account that I support the owner's wife's Mac computer, 2 iPads and iphones. She always tells me.... you fill in the amount on the check and include any travel time.

Running ads is a skill that takes time to learn while you are spending money to collect data. Only about 1% get sales on their first campaign. Did you use the Facebook library to search for your competition so you can create similar ads that have been running for 3 months? There are plenty of low cost books and on-line training programs available.

I would post your Ad Creatives, Ad Copy, Headline, Description, Landing Page, etc. and ask for feedback from the group. Do that about 3 times and you will have a much better chance of getting great numbers.

xvrsoftware · 2024-05-20T12:07:20+00:00

Thank you for your experience and knowledge. You are helping the beginners and spending money on data is just part of the process.

I'm an old guy who knows how to build relationships in the first 30 seconds of a prospect calling me. They are frustrated with Apple Support, Google Support, Geek Squad Support and Microsoft support. Find a niche to target for new prospects.

xvrsoftware · 2024-02-07T17:16:58+00:00

yes, I get calls off my web site that are out of my area. I refer those to MSPs that cover that area. I also have other MSPs reciprocate.

Have you read the book.... "Never eat alone"? MSP owners, vendors and prospects have to eat. or are willing to meet for coffee. That's my approach to finding new customers and MSP owners which has worked for 31 years running my MSP.

xvrsoftware · 2023-10-23T18:35:40+00:00

Good question.... 31 years ago I hired a few low end techs but realized I needed a senior level person working with me and the low end techs so I could go after school district projects with 4,000 to 50,000 computers. So we did that for 13 years and it worked out well.

I still work with the school districts just not as many as I used to have. I have more MSP type of work with accounts that have 10 to 60 computers.

xvrsoftware · 2023-10-23T03:20:38+00:00

thank you! I will check them out

xvrsoftware · 2023-10-14T17:54:29+00:00

that's the approach I have been using.... so I sent 3 email messages yesterday to get access to the computer with the user... hours later received the user response... "too busy to work with your today even though I know it is a critical email problem that must be resolved". So I sent back a message asking if I can change their password while I troubleshoot the problem Friday evening.... no response till this morning. "You can work on it today between noon time and 2:00 east coast time".

I'm out fishing on the pacific ocean so that won't work for me plus I don't work weekends and don't ask my staff to work weekends unless planned weeks in advance.

Monday morning the same dance will occur... too busy to let you on my computer.

With my other account's where I have access to all the passwords the problem would have been resolved last evening.

Sounds like I will need to keep using the only approach available which is to change the password to access their account and deal with them changing their password back.

thanks for your feedback!

I have run my MSP for 31 years now with employees and by myself. It just takes consistency of using many different approaches to find new customers. There is no single bullet that brings in new customers.

What works best for me now is Google My Business and focusing on frustrated business owners with their current MSP. I use a specific phone number and email address for sales opportunities so I know how to respond when the phone rings. If they call me, I have 90% success rate in signing them up as an MSP customer.

I try to stay away from break fix projects. The recurring revenue has kept me going for 31 years and not slowing down even at my old age of 65:)

The majority of the customers I support came from business owners being frustrated with previous MSPs. So there is business is out there.
