Exploring the Enigma: Welcome to the Dark Side of Facebook Likes

The dark side of Facebook

Welcome! I know what you're allowing! Dark Side? What's the dark side of Facebook?

Now, before delving into the experiences of guests and musketeers who have encountered 'welcome to the dark side' moments on Facebook, it's crucial to affirm my enduring appreciation for Facebook as a marketing tool. However, as business owners, ensuring the effectiveness of our social media strategy is paramount. We must navigate the intricacies of community guidelines and rules that are occasionally beyond our control to safeguard our businesses from potential jeopardies

I've been using Facebook since its commencement in 2005. As a business proprietor, my first business was a profile; there was no occasion to list a business as a runner either. For me, Facebook has been a veritably unpredictable relationship. I love what it offers to us all as individuals and business possessors. I also see the other side of bullying with our youthful adults and the limited control that we've in this regard. I've also seen numerous business owners make a brand on this social media platform and have Facebook remove them overnight with no information to support them, leaving them with a business that has no business.

In this composition, I'm going to share with you my first-hand experience and that of some of my guests. This isn't a hate composition against Facebook; this is an occasion to ensure that you have your strategy in place to overcome any of the situations that you may have faced whilst engaging in online social media conditioning.

Let's launch with your strategy. Every single business proprietor should have a social media strategy; this can be on one particular platform or across multiple spots, depending on your business and your brand. Without going into detail on the strategy, the number one rule of social media marketing, in my opinion, is that you must always drive business from all online platforms to your website and make a list, whether this is dispatch or a bot. Either way, the success of your social media must be erecting your list to grow your database. For numerous times I tried, it was not veritably hard to make my list; for me, emails just didn't cut it. I don't like the quantity of marketing emails I get, but still, this is a particular point of view. From a marketing and business perspective, I know that I've bought numerous products, courses, and software from a dispatch that has gone into my dispatch account. So it's a love-hate relationship again. When Facebook runner bots were introduced many times ago, I tête-à-tête found them easier to setup and produce and preferred them to dispatch marketing. Not only that, the open rate on a runner bot on Facebook is 80 compared to 10–20 on emails.

Erecting your list either by dispatch, bot, or both is pivotal to your overall online social media success because, in the event that any of your accounts get turned off or, in some cases, deleted by Facebook, you still have these contacts to continue to vend to and conceivably shoot them to another social point or a new bone.

Whatever the circumstance is.

I know that you're probably thinking, Why would Facebook close down my accounts? Well, there are a number of reasons. For me, tête-à-tête, I've never been told by Facebook what I've done to close off or limit my access, and I find this incredibly concerning for a number of reasons, which I'll go into later. For now, you're to misbehave with the Facebook Community Terms and Conditions, which are kindly clear, I suppose, but if you're a business proprietor and you don't transgress any of these terms and conditions( to the best of your knowledge and experience), and you also discover that your account has been closed, especially your advertising account.

My story with Facebook is a love and detest one I adore my abilities and the potential audience I have—millions of people. The use of Facebook Live had reinstated my enthusiasm for the platform, and also on came runner bots, and I was in love with the platform again. Well, I've been for the history two times. I indeed set up that using the videotape view announcement crusade after my live videotape show gave me a massive increase in reach and subscribers to my runner bot list for at least one penny every view.

This has been exceptionally great for my business and those that I'm training as social media directors and business possessors. Maybe one day you wake up and find this across the top of your account. Yes, I've got the right to appeal, and I did so three weeks ago and yet there is still no response from Facebook. It seems that I, Leanne Peard, have had all my rights removed across all the accounts that I'm an admin of, which, if I were still a social media director, would be a massive detriment to my business, so I count myself lucky in that respect, but it doesn't help me continue to grow my business. I've got a number of training groups, both free and paid, on Facebook, and I've now had my videos blocked, which means that I can't upload further training to these groups, which is confusing as, again, all my videos are grounded around training people on how to use Facebook and other platforms, so from my experience, I haven't violated any of the terms and conditions.

The dark side of Facebook, in my opinion, is that we've no occasion to bandy, have the appeal heard, or indeed communicate with Facebook about this problem. As a consumer and business proprietor in Australia, all businesses are governed by the Australian Consumer Law, which means we've got rights to refunds, prayers, and occasionally compensation. Yet, a business like Facebook can trade and also stop our livelihood without any feedback, training, or compensation for our brands. Now I'm the lucky one. I was speaking to a number of business possessors in different groups, and then there are many more of the dark side of Facebook stories.

One of my guests is spending over $20,000 a month on Facebook advertisements for a health product that sells for $57, his return on this spend is roughly $10,000 a month. Just lately, for no apparent reason, his Facebook advertisement regard was closed. He appealed, and it took over 3 months before Facebook allowed him to spark his advertisement regard and start business again. Now that's a $30,000 loss that he endured, with no feedback as to why this passed.

A lady I was communicating with in the USA told me that she had grown her live videotape show to over 50,000 subscribers and had a massive online engagement on each videotape she had( this is what Facebook wants), so all the boxes were ticked as far as she was concerned, but still she had some vicious commentary placed by an existent on her runner( which she's responsible to remove), and before she was able to cover and remove these commentary, Facebook closed down her account, her business that she had erected for the past three times, and all her followers were gone! Now if she had used the number one strategy that I spoke of in the morning of this composition, she'd be able to deflect them to another channel; she may have been able to upload the videos if she had kept a dupe and put them on YouTube.

Another gentleman I was speaking to in Melbourne told me an analogous story: one of his eight Facebook business runners was doing extremely well in live streaming, and he was suitable to introduce the subscription offer to his observers of $4.95 US per month. The problem he's having now is that Facebook is still debiting the people who have subscribed, yet they don't have any content to view.
