sometimes it sucks to be right

Itās rare that I make a prediction and find out that I was 100% spot on with it.
Eight months ago, in this very newsletter, I warned you about an expensive course on the Facebook bonus program.
I shared that the program wasnāt performing like it used to and that I knew one of the people associated with the course was seeing a big decline.
A few people associated with it got big mad about me sharing this. š¤·āāļø
Fast forward to this weekā¦

A Student With Regret
I think it was around 12 days ago when I started getting an email newsletter from someone who hasnāt sent anything out in like three years.
I donāt want to reveal her name in case she doesnāt want it revealed, but she was essentially restarting her online journey.
And she sent out her 3rd email since restarting while I was on vacation last week.
The email was about the Facebook bonus program and that very same courseā¦
She bought the course, started building up a Facebook page and reached the magical number of 10,000 likes.
Read that bit toward the end againā¦
Nobody from the course managed to get in.
NOBODY!?! Fucking hell.
She goes on to say that she doesnāt 100% regret buying the course because she did learn how to grow a Facebook page, but that she does regret it a bit.
I feel really bad for her and everyone else that dropped $500 - $700 on it.
People are still selling courses on the Facebook Bonus program. Save your monies.
Do yourself a favor and just check out some of Niche Site Ladyās recent tweets on growing a Facebook page. Those tweets are 100% free.
Then, grow your page and focus on sending the traffic to your websites. Iāve been doing this for years.
It works. Bigly. But ya gotta have content on the site that does well on social.
Coming upā¦
More on what Iām working on and how itās going.
Stay awesome,
Shawna
