What nobody usually tells you

Cheap to start and it can move fast. But the reach is rented: the account, the audience and the algorithm all belong to someone else, and pages with six figures of followers get wiped without appeal every day.

The route, in five steps

  1. Choose a niche advertisers want, not one you find funny
  2. Post three times a day for 90 days
  3. Sell promo slots only once past 50,000 followers
  4. Push traffic to something you own — a list or a shop
  5. Never buy followers: it kills the reach you're selling

What you'll need to buy

These are the categories every niche social page pays for in the first month. We break down what each one actually costs at this size on the tools page.
