This is a message to all of the younger BHW users. I know there are a lot of us here!
High school is, by far, the most gossip oriented time of your life. You know that when one person does something, everyone has to do it.
I am currently in college, however, I started my BH marketing venture when I was in high school. It was here that I realized the power of social media and viral content.
I created a website and posted made a FB fan page. I created a fake account for an imaginary person in my town. I invited about 25 people to the fan page, and left it.
Overnight, it caught on. The next day in school everyone was talking about it. That night traffic boomed.
The traffic was short-lived, but enormous. I had around 3000 uniques every day uniques for about 3 weeks. Attention to the website died down because of it's
nature.
I made huge profits, however, I could have made more. This was one of my first ventures and I learned a lot.
Moral of my story:
If you're in high school, play off the idiocy of your classmates. You know more than them about the internet. Go viral, go big, go bank.
If people are interested, I might open up some JVs in the coming weeks to work with high schoolers to do the same as I did.
Hopefully this encourages someone!
