895478 fans in 4 days by a 14 years old disabled guy

11 replies
A friend of mine has a brother who is disabled. He is just 14 years old.
There is parliamentary election going on in one of the Asian country in 2nd week of May.
He created a fan page to discuss on who is going to win the general election of May / election debate ...The page was created last Friday
About 100 of his friends and family joined his page as a fan.

Now the real games starts here...

He contacted admins of official face book pages of all political parties [there are dozens of political parties there with millions of fans]

He sent messages to admin of all political parties face book page on Sunday evening that he has created this page to create up to date discussion forum for public to discuss election and its issues on social media..

here he uses his little brain...below is the rough summary of what he told them further

personally I favor blah blah things of your manifesto [he then mentions what ever he likes from their manifesto] but as admin of the page, I will not be able to support your party..I need all your fans to join my page, I will give them full freedom to have their say on my fan page... within a day or 2 when this page will be advertised heavily in national printed media, I expect to have millions of fans. I fear that fans of other political parties will hijack this page and will be supporting their cause here. I strongly suggest that you ask all fans on official page to join my page and have their say here in support of your party and take strong participation in the very hot discussion. You are aware that because of security situation in the country, most parties are concentrating to run their campaigns on social, printed and electronic media instead of campaigning on streets. Its better you send your fans here, so that you get a strong presence in the biggest social media war of this election.

almost all political parties fan pages advertised his fan page on their pages..
I just checked his fan page and he has 895478 fans...and the page is still growing...

Just an hour ago, he was in the local park on wheel chair with his little notebook on him and he smiled to me and asked how to make some money from his page..

I think there is no age limit for innovative way of thinking...

    That is great. But unless he can monetize it, it is only an ego booster.

    While it's easy to farm leads while there is a election, it's will be a liitle harder to make any profit as most people who opt-in aren't interested in buying anything anyway. But i could be wrong, Keep us updated on the results

      People are always interested in buying.

      But to be successful with this, he needs to offer products or services that his audience might be interested in getting.

    Seconded, What did you tell the guy??
    While I think the traffic and fans are not targeted enough to pin-point any niche market, he can sell something that appeals to generally a wide range of people - dating, relationship, money matters . . .
    It all boils down to the innovation anyway. Cool stuff!

    Well done, great story! Now your friend definitely wants to build a relationship with these fans and add value - I'm sure you guys can offer them solid suggestions/ services to monetize with.

    Election?
    All fans parties interested or involved.
    I'd say offer paid sticky posts in ad form for each party first.

    If he has time he could outsource the making of 1 million novelty election badges for each party. But prob no time for that.

    You could always let each party know that you will push their agenda through heavy moderation in exchange for a giant suitcase of $100 bills. Election campaign pockets run deep. And they dont see ethics the way a normal person would.

    Backhanders and stuffed brown envelopes for all who play ball.

    I think he can take money from other political party admins to write post in favour of them.
