How to Get 50,000 REAL Facebook Followers Fast!

in this video I'm going to show you how I grew a brand new Facebook page from 0 to 40,000 followers in less than 40 days if you don't know who I am my name is Cory mlan and my mission is to help as many content creators become income creators by monetizing their own content as I possibly can we're going to talk about the purpose of the page the special strategy I use we're going to analyze the results and at the end of the video we're going to talk about one very expensive problem that I wasn't aware of that I'm still dealing with till this very day by actually building this page so stay around to the end of the video because you may want to avoid the same problem that I ran into so about October last year I wanted to create a brand new Facebook page around something that I was actually interested in and that wasn't social media just a Facebook page that I wanted to post on so I created this college football page and after I created the page I had the idea well let me see how fast I can actually grow this page but let's talk about the purpose of the page like I said I cre created this page for an outlet because that's exactly why I created the page just to have fun and post about a particular topic that I found interesting and growing the page as fast as I could was only an afterthought just beneath the title of the page you can see that where it says page just to the right of it says just for fun and that's exactly why I created this page and you can see that right now the page is sitting at 50,000 followers so it's grown 10,000 followers over the last several months almost on autopilot because I've very rarely posted on the page after that initial burst of posting and content and I'll share more with you about why at the end of the video but the strategy I had for growing this page was to use Facebook res because number one Facebook res has a very low inventory Facebook does not have a lot of native reals posted to the app and so Instagram res take up a lot of the space inside of the Facebook re feed number two Facebook was heavily promoting reals as a Content format and they're still promoting it but now even more so posting Facebook reals was a no-brainer for me and if you look at the screen from my engagement from the last 28 days you can see that real are bringing in the majority of the engagement for me and you can also see that reals are primarily going to nonone followers because it's a growth tool and reals are used to constant reach wider and wider audiences and that's going to bring in more followers so originally my goal was to post two to four reals every day but I failed miserably and I only ended up posting an average of about one to two reals per day so that by the time November 7th came around and I had 40,000 followers I had only posted 46 pieces of content the majority of those pieces of content were reals but some of them were regular posts on the screen right now is a screenshot of the screenshot that I originally took on November 7th at 3:09 p. m. and at this time you can see that I had 3. 5 million reach and only 46 pieces of content published within the last 28 days and the follower count is 4,215 so let's talk about the strategy that I use to actually grow this page one thing that I know right now is that artificial intelligence is taking over on all platforms and meta is no exception has AI driving their advertising right now and they have ai driving their recommendation engines for content right now and whether you know it or not there is a very strong overlap between these two very different systems the systems are different in purpose but they're very similar in design the advertising system is designed to go out and find people who are likely to make certain actions that businesses are interested in people making when it comes to their products services Etc and the content recommendation system is built to go out and find people who are most likely going to consume certain pieces of content so both systems have a lot of overlap when it comes to understanding users interests you pay to use the advertising system to reach people who are interested in certain products possibly because of their content interest and you post to use the recommendation system and so the advertising system benefits from what it learns from the recommendation system because of people's interest with the content and so forth but the recommendation system doesn't benefit from the knowledge of the advertising system and I'm going to explain to you why in just a moment but my goal was to grow this Facebook page without running ads without boosting posts even though I know that's a very popular way to grow a Facebook page right now especially since Facebook has come out and told us that there's a problem with new Facebook pages they have a code start problem this is an article that meta AI wrote

about the AI behind unconnected content recommendations on Facebook and Instagram so there are three different types of connections on Facebook and Instagram you have connected unconnected and members connected is going to be friends and followers unconnected people you have no connection with they don't follow you they're not your friend at all and members are going to be members of the same group Facebook and Instagram typically try to show you content from people that you're connected with first but when it comes to recommending unconnected experiences they have to have a system in place that's going to allow them to recommend wholesome content that's not distasteful because a lot of people don't like being recommended some pieces of content and so this article is about how recommendations work basically when you create a new Facebook page Facebook knows absolutely nothing about what you're going to be posting there or who's going to be interested in the page no matter what the description says or anything else it's all based on the content they use content to catalog users and then they use that information that they gather from the content you post to supercharge their advertising business and get great results for business owners like myself and others who run Facebook ads for offers on the back end but to address this problem they have a system called meta interest learner and this system basically learns what your page is going to be about and who's going to enjoy your content most likely based on a few pieces of content you post and so starting a new Facebook page can have its challenges but meta is doing everything in their power to make sure they can try to find you an audience if the content is high quality because not high quality they're going to demote it anyways so how you start your Facebook page and the first few pieces of content that you post to that page are extremely important and you want to make sure that they're your best pieces of content just kick it off with a bang so with me having a fan page for shadur Sanders you can see that it's going to be very difficult for me to create original content for him because I'm not in Boulder Colorado and I don't have immediate access to him so all of the content was going to be curated and I curated the content for this page from two places Tik Tok and YouTube so first let's talk about Tik Tok is the absolute number one place to get content that you can curate and so I came to Tik Tok and found various pieces of content that different creators had created that shadur had posted and I simply used another website to download those Tik toks and repost them on Facebook without the watermark and so the way you would do that is you would find a piece of content that you wanted perhaps this post right here you would tap the share button and copy the link after you've copied the link you're going to come over to a website called snap. com Facebook knows about this website and if you try to send somebody the link to snap ti. com through Facebook messenger Facebook will flag the link it will not post and they'll tell you that this link is not allowed and that's something that we're going to talk about in another video but basically you would paste the link right here you can download it without watching an ad but it won't be high definition and so we're going to tap download with the ad and now that the ad is done playing we tap download the video begins downloading to our phone now we're going to open the video up and you see the file name is Snap tior app typically save it to the files on my iPhone and then I go into the files and change the file name of the video because I don't want to uploaded to Facebook with the actual file name of snap tick app either way it doesn't matter if I played this video you would see that it no longer has the Tik Tock watermark on it so here we are in meta business suite and I love meta business suite for Facebook pages because it made growing the page a little bit easier in addition to posting reals and getting followers that way I was also making sure that every day I would come to meta business Suite I would look at the people who commented who reacted and I would invite them and so I would send out 1,000 invites every single day to anyone who interacted with my page and that definitely helped me grow the page a lot quicker and right here you can see that I was very active in the beginning posting on the page and you can see that this dip is November 10th and this was after I reached 40,000 followers and again I'll talk with you at the end of the video about why I stopped posting so much on this page even though it was just for fun because of how much money it cost me and again if you look at the card right here you can see that the reach was 52,000 and that none of it was from ads and no matter where I click and stop you'll see that the reach and organic are Clos to align and that it's always a zero for ads I did not grow this page with Facebook ads so we're back on the screenshot from November 7 and you can see that the last 28 days I

picked up 36,000 followers it was actually 35,9 188 but they're rounding up that means that in the first nine days of posting on this page I gathered 4,000 followers and then I added the additional 36,000 over the next 4 weeks so I'm not going to play any of the reals from this page in this video because you can leave this video and go check the page out later on if you want to do some studying for yourself to see what really worked but I'm going to go ahead and tell you about what I saw that actually worked with these reals because there are several of them that have great views from 20 to 880,000 but the ones that have several hundred th000 I'm talking about three 400,000 views a million views there were two things in particular that stood out about them now number one let's talk about the obvious thing is that shadur Sanders is well known because we all know that his father is coach Dion Sanders and a lot of people love him dislike him so he's very popular and his children are also going to be very popular as well so we don't want to overlook that and not factor in the fact that this page was a fan page for a very popular person but the second thing about the videos that performed the best that were just complete outliers they were behind the scenes moments completely unscripted natural and just raw and its content that we probably wouldn't have seen without the technology and without the platforms that we have today but it gave us a glimpse into how they actually are because so much of the content we see online is staged I mean I'm going to edit this YouTube video and cut out all of my bad takes at least I'm going to try to but these videos didn't have any cuts for the most part and they were just one takes they were just genuine interactions between human beings and I'll add this one bonus tip about the reals that perform the best that just occurred to me but the reals that really stood out and did really well more than one person was in the video so if you can focus on becoming well-known creating behind the scenes content and including more than one person in the video your reals can potentially perform the same way that these did as well now something that I've known for a while and that I'm beginning to see more prevalent across all platforms is that people choose the type of content they consume some people like long videos like this one and some people like YouTube shorts on Facebook some people like Facebook reals and some people like motivational quotes easy content consume it very quickly and move on well growing this Facebook page confirm that for me once again if we come back to this media type section inside of my professional dashboard you can see that reals reached 462,000 people and it was actually just one real whereas photo videos links and other pieces of content barely broke a couple thousand people because the people who typically watch Facebook reals on Facebook want to see more reals they're not going to engage with other pieces of content and it's going to be very difficult to get them to engage with other pieces of content so let's say you're in the performance bonus and your goal is to monetize the content you're posting but you want to use reals to grow your audience make sure you're mixing in other regular pieces of content often so that people don't just get spoiled with your real so to speak and not consume any of your other content or Facebook thinks that they're not interested in it or you don't grow your following through other pieces of content because reals are not the only way to grow one of my clients has a Facebook page of over 60,000 followers and she doesn't post reals all she makes are regular TCH status post and post photos and occasionally she would go live but the lives weren't very popular so her page has grown primarily from the information she provides to her community through her posts and her statuses and images and it's a very active page so you can grow a Facebook page with any content format but reals have proven to be the fastest possible route if you're just looking to grow and get a number but growing this Facebook page brought about two problems for me that I just wasn't expecting number one after you know constantly posting the content downloading the Tik toks and YouTube videos and editing the videos adding music captions and all of the different things I was doing eventually it began to feel a little stressful and it felt more like work and more like something that I was obligated to do rather than something I was just doing for fun and I kind of got burnt down on the page and I stopped posting on it after it reached 40,000 followers and it still kept growing by itself so that's one thing that I wasn't counting on but it definitely cost me because it took away that creative out outlet for me and

I don't even have the same passion about the page as I did before but the second thing that it did to me was far more costly financially this is a screenshot of how much money my YouTube channel was making about eight months ago going into the time when I started this page in September I made $577 in October I made $891 now remember that in October I only posted a couple of videos and those videos didn't perform wheel that payout wasn't for October that payout was for the content that I posted and Views that I got in September but the payout came in October so October's payout is September's results then in November I received $560 so that was during the time I was growing the page but then in December and in January and even in February and March even until last April you can see that my pay went down and it stayed down and I believe this happened because while I was posting on the chur Sanders page I wasn't focused on my YouTube channel and to grow on YouTube you have to be focused and the videos I was producing although they were okay in my opinion I have to be honest and say I could have made them better but if you're a Content curator and you have a Facebook page that you've grown just like the one I just shared with you and you're reposting content just like I did from Tik Tok and YouTube then you're going to want to watch this next video because if I don't change the content that I'm posting on that page two very particular ways chances are that page is going to be completely dead by the end of this year so make sure you watch this next video to find out what you need to do to change your content and also if you create original content where you're in the video I think you should probably start getting ready for a great opportunity that's coming your way whether you're on Facebook or Instagram so make sure you watch the next video to learn all about the new changes that are coming to meta
