Using staff & friends to create a network of 1million+

Want to create a network of 1million people but don’t know how? Utilise your staff and close friend network to grow your pages exponentially.

Each adult user on facebook has 338 friends on average, so lets do some maths.

Say you have a mid-size company of 249 employees, this creates an in house network of 249x338 = 84,162 people

Then factor in your close group of family and friends, getting them to share, like and comment on your posts, say 30 people, this gives a total reach just from your close network of 10,140 people

So there you have a network of 100,000 people at your disposal.

This works because each post on social media shows on the newsfeed of every person who’s linked to that page, so getting your friends and colleagues to like a page and engage with posts shows up on all their friends news feeds and so on and so forth, with shares getting the highest quantity of reach as it appears centrally on the news feed.

From there, if you can generate high quality content, you can bank on more interactions and engagements, generating higher exposure.

This can be applied across all social networks, it works especially well on twitter where retweets are fast and effective, having breadth of a page and higher interactions per user. 

Its very simple, and can even be written into social media policy, staff handbooks and contracts etc that it is required to interact on every post that the company publishes. No one really checks who likes the posts, but what you want is reach and engagement, and this gives you just that. Your own viral army.


Use it carefully!
