Rave: explosive business growth, funny scammers

Post by IMADreamer »

In the last month my website got picked up on Reddit a couple times and we've experienced amazing growth. We have added 5000 facebook likes in two weeks which means we have more likes then my favorite car site on the net. Needless to say the ball is rolling now. Of course being the internet it also means I'm making like $5 a day but whatever.

"Success" brings clingers. I've gotten nearly 100 requests for "guest posts" this week and it's only Thursday. The funniest thing to me is a message I got on Facebook. This girl (probably not real) messages me and says "hey I just got you two new likes on Facebook, for only $10 more I can get you 10 more likes." LOL I replied back "I just got 5000 new likes in two weeks, no offense, but I don't give a [expletive] about your two likes."

I gotta believe no one pays this person 10 bucks to get 10 fake likes on Facebook. I wouldn't pay 10 bucks for 10 real likes. I've heard of all sorts of services like this where you pay someone to give you a bunch of likes that are all fake. What is the point in that? You want real people seeing your content or it doesn't matter.

Oh well I got a good laugh.

haha, well I'm hardly bragging since I'm barely making any money doing it.
