About a week ago I started a new Facebook page to learn more about growing a social media account. So I picked my niche and gathered quite a bit of 'viral content' from several other pages I was following within my niche.

I planned on doing about 2 posts a day and boosting each post with relevant targeting to the content I was showing. The first day I reached about 100,000 people and racked up about 10k likes. My strategy to increase my following base is to invite all these people that have liked my posts manually. This has proven to be a great strategy, because about 10-15% of all the post likers will convert into followers through inviting them to like your page. With about 10k likes each day I could/should be growing with 1,000 followers each day.

Unfortunately Facebook doesn't let you invite everyone at once, because they have set a limit to it. They won't disclose what the limit is either and after some research it's clear that it is different for every account/situation. I noticed that one day I could invite maybe 50 people and the other day I could do about 300. To make sure I could invite every single liker I decided to make 2 fake accounts and make them page advertisters, so I could invite every liker manually through these fake accounts.

Now the problem is they have put these fake accounts under investigation with the message I should upload my picture, so they can investigate. This sucks, because with these accounts I was able to grow much fast through inviting people, than I could do with just my personal account. Now after a week I'm stuck on 2,500 followers and growing slower than I know I can.

So I was reading a bit about botting and proxies and what not to find a solution to my problem. Anybody out there who encountered the same problem as I did? What was your solution?

For the ones that might be interested I can post my progress once in a while to see if there are any effects to changes made in tactic/strategy ;)
 
Facebook is gaming more and more to larger businesses and those that can justify spending on ads. The only way to build a facebook page is by having content people want to like and will be drawn to from outside of facebook or by sharing your content. The days of inviting and trading likes is dying, the traffic now has to come to you and want to like you.
 
I'm doing the same thing now with my personal account - i mean i made a page, i have promoted for engagement so i can invite them to like my page.

My account is from 2013 and i'm able to invite like 400-700/day depends

True, but as I understand inviting people that engaged with your page is a fairly new feature of Facebook, launched in the middle of 2016. So by that logic they wouldn't want to stop that i think, because I'm spending on ads and not just spamming people or whatever.

Cool! Do you use multiple accounts or just the one? And how many followers have you built up until now?
 
Just one.. well i'm working for 2 month right now at this page.

I got 73K but not all of them from invites as some just like your page from promotion and i have shared every day a picture or something from my page in around 30 groups related

Okay nice that's pretty insane, the growth you have shown in such a short time. Do you use on going advertisements to promote your page? Is sharing your content in those groups one of the reasons it went so fast?
 
Those groups togheteri think they have more than 1 million people so if you are posting something smart and in a smart way the return is pretty big.

Solid advice, I will try to implement this strategy to 2 Facebook pages I manage this week and will share the results here to see if it works out :)
 
I did something similar a while back couldn't find a way around it. Any luck?

You mean inviting with fake accounts? Hoping to get 1 back the other is gone for sure, but I'm trying to implement the group strategy as well, I've been sending requests to dozens of groups now and I will be posting older content in those groups once a day starting tomorrow.

So let's see what the results are going to be in a couple of days!
