Taking spam as an opportunity

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

I created a FB page for my affiliate site and I woke up to someone I don't know spamming it with their MLM advert. I was initially really angry and then I realized that most who try to generate business on FB and social media don't have what we have, and don't know what we know, about how SEO and affiliate internet marketing work. So I took the opportunity to tell her about how much more business she could create if she creates a website and makes friends with Google. that a website will refer her customers to her MLM web page and that will likely mean more business for her than what her cold and warm market might make her.

I'm not sure how many on this site don't like MLM's, but it is a business regardless and to be truthful the representative pages are usually pretty sad if you discover them on your own(granted you are not supposed to you are supposed to be sent to them after you have watched the video and want to sign up, but it is easy to find them if you are looking for someone specific) If you are lucky you will get a picture and email address and phone number with the name. I've seen many using blogs to sell their product and businesses, it only becomes a question about whether the company has a problem with a website that points to their company page. I have cousins that are making near six figures in one MLM and it seems to have been the antidote to their horrible diseases. It makes it hard to complain if it helps them but, the mute button on their FB page becomes vital, but they probably mute my page due to my political stances and cute animal videos. Time will tell if she and others who may see her post joins us to learn about internet marketing.
