I see people are selling social media service websites. Are these legit? I know you outsource the services through people on Skype and things like that but are these real followers? Do you make good $ if you run the proper SEO techniques? Has anybody made a lot of $ running one of these sites?? Does your customers REALLY benefit from buying followers/likes/views??
To be honest, investing in social media service websites is not really helpful for starters as these services will only boost your likes and followers temporarily but will not have any effect on the permanent traffic you want to actually call to your webpage. It is better to go the slow and steady way when trying to promote your social media webpage. As laying the proper infrastructure is more important for any business. I hope my suggestion is helpful for you.
I think it has to be successful, however, I have not tried it. Customers will buy but it does not benefit them in the long run. Usually, the followers/likes being sold are fake so it only increases their numbers but not their sales since the followers/likes are not real. Honestly, these services, in my opinion do more harm than good. But, it will always be a good business because people love taking shortcuts.
People made money off of this the first few months the market got so saturated though and they are almost always scams. The most these companies can generally send is 2,000 followers. Back in the day it was easier to get twitter followers but its a lot harder now. They are mostly the scum of the internet and treated like modern day snake oil salesmen.
yes, it was extremely profitable and it can still be, just go to fiverr and check gigs that have over 60k orders and see how much they made it's become a little saturated lately but it can still work if you have a good source of traffic.
People are getting aware of the adverse effects these services bring. If you want to start a legitimate business, stay away from selling such services.
