I recently got connected with a guy who makes a living with social media, which made me dig deeper into the scene, it's crazy how many people are profiting off this stuff.

The basic premise is, you make one of those huge fan page/memes/persona pages (Eg: Common white girl problems, fitness meme's, motivational quotes)

After a lot of hard work and time, you hopefully become popular, think 500k+ followers, now your work is basically done, besides managing the accounts your ability to scale becomes much easier and less time consuming.

Makes new pages constantly siphoning the traffic around and gaining new followers.

So basically, grow one large account and you can spawn an infinite number of popular pages. The profits? Insane, kids are making thousands a day doing this.

Makes me think why the fuck I'm doing anything else.

Isn't that true for anything in life? Starting out is hard. Building the first success and becoming known is hard. Then it's easy.

Tim Ferris can promote whatever he wants now and make big $$

Any book he writes will bring in millions. Doesn't matter if it's 'the 4 hour blowjob', people will buy it.

A consultant might struggle to get the first few clients and get up and running. 5 years later, it's easy to find new people to work for based on referrals, recommendations, having your work known, etc.

Real estate agent- starting out is tough. you have no book of business. after a few years you have repeat customers, you know the communities around you, etc. It gets easier not harder.
 
Works great until the website decides they're going to make you pay if you want to get any exposure.

Yeah that is very true, great point.
 
Sure the model you described works, but on Facebook you can't do it without budget now, the people at 500k+ are building brands or got their likes for <1c when it was much easier to do so. Don't tunnel in on one method, these guys churning pages might be making decent cash but unless they're smart and reinvesting / diversifying, all they have is a very shaky JOB, not a business.

With the recent crack of Facebook.

1) Killing Graph Search
2) Reducing organic growth.
3) other shit they are doing against the interest of internet marketeers

Third party guys like us, making money by those platform is dying. Unless you are the owner of Facebook, yea social media is not dying.

neg reps for bumping a year old thread :bootyshake:
 
500K is still doable these day. all you need is a little bit of sunshine, rain and hoala! youre a tree.
 
i am creating my facebook botnet, now it has about +600k friends. i decided that advertisement from personal accounts possibly could bring more profit than advertise from big fan page.
 
social media is not dead it's found that people are very well making money at the 10000 like marker with powerful content growth i found that people are pron to the bead crumb affect .... although when master the problem is with some effort of third party sites like hootsuite onlywire will bring focus toward the audience by massive action meaning that you your self will have to have 50 or more social media accouts back linking toward one account such as facebook fanpages etc.
 
I grew a page for a client and I'm still growing it. It has 54K followers and they are pretty active on the page: they like, share and comment posts. They are also buying tees, but I'm not sure how much does my client earn. I often wonder, should I start doing this for myself. All I need is another year, patience and a great niche.
