I've been using Facebook to build a local community to be able to work with local businesses. I run a cheap and simple ad to get the community to like and follow my page and then I find out who's a business and work with them to provide them services. It would be nice to have thousands and thousands of followers, I'll get there eventually. It's just fun and frustrating at the same time learning the platform.
Yeah, that is a very good strategy and like you said, you can get really cheap traffic there as well. Thanks for your contributions to the challenge here Robert!

Thanks for sharing Soniya, and content is king. Original, helpful, and engaging content is always going to thrive within the online world. ;)
Personally, I would avoid Facebook at all costs and use other platforms!
I had my Facebook account taken down; there was no reason for this at all, I had no notification on the subject. The fact is that I hardly used my personal Facebook profile, but I did have a few business pages.
The business pages are still up and running, but I can't get to them and there is no way that I can reach Facebook.
This has nothing to do with my Facebook account being removed, but I have always found the platform very clunky and cumbersome. My advice would be to find alternatives.

That is frustrating, but it is still a platform that should not be overlooked. There is a massive and engaged audience there, and one that can lead to a full-time income for a business online.
I agree though, there definitely are tech shortfalls and it can be clunky at the best of times. And their interfaces lack consistency, which is surprising for a trillion dollar company!
I do hear what you are saying, Kyle. It's always good to look for different traffic sources, but I would be a bit reluctant to try Facebook again due to what happened. It's a difficult one because no one wants to miss out on a potential good traffic source.
I remember when Facebook pages first arrived on the scene, they really were powerful, especially if your Facebook page name referred to your niche. I believe that Facebook pages went downhill when Facebook introduced paid advertising, but it seems like they may be on the up again.
That's always amazed me, Kyle, I can't understand how such a large platform has such a terrible interface. The Facebook app on my Android phone even allow me to enlarge a photograph, or if it does, it's only by about 1%!
Something that I'm grateful for on the Wealthy Affiliate platform is that you have your own platform. Whereas many platforms use Facebook as a forum, which is absolutely awful and exceptionally painful. I really don't understand why organisations do this. To my mind, it's a million times easier to comment, etc, on the Wealthy Affiliate platform than what is on Facebook. It actually stops me from commenting when people use Facebook as a forum, as I just find it too painful!
Sorry for the Facebook rant!
I hope that you're able to take some time out was your family over the Christmas period.

I was not going to post in this contest as I normally do not utilize Meta for Promotions.
However, this morning I logged on to find VitaliyG posted on "how to find awesome content ideas in seconds". It was a short and sweet training video, but it proved even Meta has a use in Content Ideas.
I have used this idea after viewing to search for myself and have composed two articles this morning that are not only within my Niche but are also topics I normally would not have thought of. I will be using this method going forward when searching for content ideas.
My Hat is off to VitalyG for his wisdom and delivery of this suggestion as it has great value.
If you have not seen this quick training, It is my suggestion to watch it immediately for content ideas! How to Find Awesome Content Ideas in Facebook in Seconds! Have a Good Day.

On a Side Note- If you succeed in your Journey to Success, It will probably be attributed to the training you receive here at Wealthy Affiliate. I knew nothing when I started about affiliate marketing and will be the first to admit I do not know it all, but what I can say is with the amount of information on this platform, if you put forth the effort, there is no reason success cannot be in your future.
Awesome Michael, thanks for sharing!
