🤖 Case Study #1 Update

It's been ten long days since we launched the Page Likes campaign for our Tattoo Facebook page, and we're still acquiring likes for just $0.01 each 🤯

Currently, we're gaining 500-600 new followers daily, bringing our grand total to around 4,500 followers.

For now, I've decided to keep the daily budget unchanged at $5 (why mess with a good thing amirite?)

As a nice little bonus, engagement has also exceeded expectations. Nearly every post has received 100+ reactions and a flurry of comments and shares.

On Friday, I introduced "Text on Background" posts featuring simple tattoo-related questions. I enlisted Claude's help to generate a list of engaging one-liners.

These posts are getting tremendous engagement and better reach than our AI image posts.

Check out an example below👇

I've also started adding captions to the AI image posts to encourage user comments.

For example👇

While I haven't set up Post Planner for this page yet, I've increased our posting schedule to 4-5 posts daily, done manually for now. I've set aside time tomorrow to strategize our daily content plan and start populating those Post Planner content buckets.

This week, I devoted considerable time to creating AI images in Midjourney and curating the best ones. I'm stockpiling images like crazy (I'm a bit of a digital hoarder), making sure we're well-prepared for future scaling.

There's not much else to do with this case study until we receive an invite to the Facebook Performance Bonus program 🤞. I'm hoping my existing page in the Bonus program might expedite the process, but I suspect it may not make much difference.

For now, we'll stay the course, consistently posting AI content and growing our followers for a penny each (for as long as FB loves our ad).

🤌 F@CK IT…I’m Starting ANOTHER Case Study!

With automating most of the case study Facebook Page on the horizon, I'll soon have some extra time on my hands. And you know what that means?

It's time for a new project!

For those of you who've been with this newsletter from the start, you'll remember that my blog Monetized Future, recently got accepted into Mediavine Grow.

The results? My RPMs have skyrocketed to $20 - pretty awesome, right? But here's the thing: now I need MORE TRAFFIC!!!

So, I've decided to try and breathe new life into my DEAD Monetized Future Pinterest account. The goal? Drive some serious Pinterest traffic to my blog (with some help from AI of course).

I’m still ironing out some kinks, but here's the gist:

  • First up, I'll harness the power of Cuppa to churn out AI-generated content tailored to captivate the broader Pinterest audience.

  • Next I'll enhance every blog post on the site with a boatload of AI-generated images.

  • Then, I'll leverage BlogtoPin's AI magic to create and schedule a flood of pins, using these fresh images as eye-catching pin cover backgrounds.

Get ready for a Pinterest revival like no other! Stay tuned for the full game plan in the next issue.
