So I've known this guy for a while and I wanted to prove a point to yall. It isn't about how hard you work because sometimes it just is not enough, working smart is 100x better.
Basically, he runs a music promo page where he promotes upcoming rappers, I dmed him a while back and found out his rates (When he was at 90k). He charges $200 per post + $50 for a story which most likely has raised. All these stupid rappers are just throwing their money at him for the chance to get famous except, all his followers are fake (150k) and all his views/likes are fake. You might think well maybe some are real so it might be worth it. NO! Literally, every single follower is fake and yet he's making upwards of 10k a month just because every single post he does is a sponsored one/promo.

^ if it doesn't work

As you can see in his followers list the numbers are crazy some days hes losing 4 followers while other days he is growing 12k. One day he gains 6k then next day he loses over 1k???? This pattern is just unnatural and I feel like if more people had the simple knowledge of checking the account out before throwing their money away they would get scammed less. I feel like he doesn't even deserve it and it is outright just wrong.

What are y'alls thoughts?
 
Good little hustle. However, this is borderline unethical (opinion). The rappers who pay him are under the impression his followers and engagement is real while they are not. I wouldn't personally partake unless the account I was promoting from was legit. Don't people realize they are getting zero engagement for their sponsored posts or is he buying fake engagement for them too? lol



Definitely thought provoking though
 
Of course this is not ethical. But on the other hand, this is the choice of the people themselves. Be they smarter checking the site at the beginning.
 
Should not be your role model.
The truth is that if you're starting from zero in internet marketing in 2019, you have to work both hard and smart :). Otherwise you won't make a penny...

This might work temporarily but where does it get you in the long run? Money runs out and scams can only last so long. Better to build up a skillset that generates long-term wealth.
 
Okay maybe he is able to make good money with stupid people. I would feel bad, because it gives the rappers no value. But I can understand when somebody has a different view.
 
I always work smarter then harder- learned the hard way to do this.
 
This isn't smart- it's literally scamming. Oh well, when his account gets banned for purchasing fake followers, etc. your friend will learn his lesson.

Yeah one time he gave me a free shoutout and shortly after I got spammed with like 400 fake follow requests
 
It's not illegal or unethical. Props to the guy.
It is very unethical though... These rappers are paying money to get their content promoted but it's literally all fake viewers. They think they are receiving a product when actually they just get a bunch of fake views and followers.

Honestly, I hope he does get banned. He's taking away all the profit from all us legitimate page owners and his whole account is botted

Lol yea this is most likely illegal. At least in many european countries it is as he's obviously deceiving customers. This should also show you that the morality of it is at least questionable.
 
Exactly! That's not called smart work. It is called scamming.

There are plenty of smart/clever scams. Just because something is illegal or immoral, doesn't mean it's stupid.

And this guy is probably making no promises to his clients. I doubt he's guaranteeing a single thing actually. It's on them to do their due diligence and not make assumptions that his page will bring them x amount of real traffic.

I agree it's a form of deception, but I wouldn't call it full blown scamming
