The Social Media Experiment

First of all, we hope everyone had a great Memorial Day Weekend!  Hope you guys were all safe and had some fun, but also had time to reflect and give peace to those that have served and payed the ultimate price.


Now on to this entry - 'The Social Media Experiment" -  I wanted some facts to prove that women have it easier in marketing than men.  Weather it be online, or in person.  A sale is a sale, but why is it that women have a slight edge over men?  Because they have certain features that lure men into buying almost anything?  Or is it that they do have skill in the field?  I've found that both are the correct answer.

I, myself have been in marketing now for over 4 years and have been fairy successful.  However, it took countless hours of training, numerous sleepless nights of SEO, and many months before I started to turn a profit.

Last Sunday, I created a fictitious Facebook profile, made it a "classless" female with numerous inappropriate pictures and a fake background story.  The point was to see how many friends I could gather and then launch a few campaigns to see if I could generate any profit.

The results were above and beyond what I had expected.  In a mere 7 days, I had accumulated 3,300 friends, 700+ messages, and a handful of comments on the pictures, statues updates, and on the wall.

I then launched a few simple campaigns to see if I could  gather intelligence on the traffic and if they led to any actual sales.  In the end, I got some good traffic and even a few sales with minimal work.

The point is, is that anyone can make countless profiles, rinse and repeat this process, and with time and dedication you could add this to your stream of income.

The process can then be duplicated to other streams of social media, such as Twitter and Google+

With all this research done, I can safely say, that even with my 4+ years of experience and all the training I've done, a simple fake profile could ultimately out-sale me in the end with the same amount of effort.

I will keep conducting this experiment and also expanding it to add to my many income streams.

Remember guys, don't be afraid to try new avenues.  Even if you fail at something, it could still prove to be useful in the learning curve.
