    Social Media Censorship = Huge Business Opportunity?

    SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING 
    I'm 100% all for it. Really, an endgoal of mine is to just have enough traffic on all the social media platforms to redirect them to my website where I'm able to post whatever I want. Anyone doesn't like it? Okay, that's their choice. They don't have to visit. I hate censorship to the very core...

    Anybody else see outrageous click bait ads all the time?

    Clickbait is one of the leading ways some articles go viral in the first place. Buzzfeed is the king of it for YT and general crap. SoFloBro dominates Facebook entertainment. DailyMail shows how posting a bunch of poorly written news with photos that'll get clicks can result in millions of views...

    Cold Calling Realities

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Those numbers are insane, thanks for sharing. I was told by an old marketing CEO that .5% conversion rates are great. That number alone made me shift most of my efforts into inbound marketing. For startups though, both inbound and outbound marketing is important. It's certainly a numbers game...

    Want A YouTube Empire?

    I decided creating a channel would be a better and more effective route than investing after messaging a new round of channels. It's a bit of an updated strategy, but this is for the better as building up a channel will only take a little while before I can create something just as good, if not...

    Want A YouTube Empire?

    I've never run into a problem with that and I know a lot of bigger guys out there work behind the scenes to buy up channels and switching MCN's and all goes well. What's funny is that after working with a lot of like minded people, I didn't realize before how many of the big channels were all...

    Want A YouTube Empire?

    You're 100% right. I did have a list of channels and their prices, however they are from a week or two ago so I'll update it by messaging more people immediately. This is the fun part, as you never know what you could find. Recently I found a gaming channel that was quite inactive for 6 months...

    Surrounding yourself with like minded and successful people.

    EXECUTION 
    Meetup.com, Networking events, try to meet up with people from local subreddits, and chambers of commerce are great to meet fellow entrepreneurs. Even a few simple ads around town, like posters with your cell # and email can help. It's all about connecting with as many people as possible. The...

    Want A YouTube Empire?

    Thank you. I'm working on becoming a more social person in general, and have been for the past few years. When I first started YouTube, I posted videos with a more negative attitude and it was just.. strange. Now I realized connecting with people is very important to launch you far into success...

    Want A YouTube Empire?

    Hey HoneyBadger, thanks for the reply. Definitely some good questions there. I've purchased around 30 or so accounts in my lifetime, most of them being YouTube however I've also purchased some Tumblr and Instagram accounts as well. The biggest one from YT was around 20K subs and I usually...

    Want A YouTube Empire?

    Hmm, now I understand the confusion. I've worked with hundreds of social media accounts spread out over the years, not over the course of 6 months. I've burned through tens of thousands of dollars of my own money. As in I just spent it on material things which I didn't need or experiences that...

    How can a 16 year old find a cofounder

    PEOPLE 
    MEETUPS are an incredible thing! One of the clients I worked with allowed us to sponsor a networking event twice and we were able to meet so many wonderful people there that turned out to be great prospects! Super hot leads and you can honestly find anything you want there. Clients, jobs...

    Want A YouTube Empire?

    Hello Fastlane, it's certainly been a longtime since I've been here. Mostly lurking around as being a member of multiple forums takes up a bit of time, as well as recently I've been working as much as 100 hours a week on my company. This post is for those hungry to DOMINATE on social media...

    Building Social Media Engagement and Following From Nothing?

    SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING 
    I am always against fake likes/subs/etc. Why pay money for something that will help ZERO with engagement, and will even hurt you? You can follow people and get at least SOME engagement. Sure, the more followers you have, the more people that'll follow you. You'll probably be getting 10%...

    Building Social Media Engagement and Following From Nothing?

    SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING 
    Sure you can steal other people's content. It's not really stealing even, it's more just making a better use of it than the original creator. Fitness is one of the easiest niches on social media to grow and make money with. People are just inherently stupid, and so you capitalize on that. They...

    Hit a Rough Bump w/ Instagram Sales

    SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING 
    Hello everyone. I've been in social media for the past few years, and have created and managed and eventually sold many viral accounts on a wide variety of platforms. I never got to keep my progress though. I'd either lose the accounts (disabled/banned) or I'd sell too early and blow the money...
