True story! Finally someone who gets to the point... That shows again how inefficient the normal fb marketing tools are. Although everybody spends tons of dollars into shitty promoted pages/posts and so on!

I know a lot of startups and people, that do!!


Persons who have facebook shares...


Call me insane, but I there are quite a few marketing departments out there with even higher budgets ... things get even worse when you start using Google AdWords ;-)


nice story - but the 50$ do not include the (much higher cost) of salaries...


Probably true...still pretty impressive CPC!


still I think a bot is more effective. not regarding the immorality (maybe even illegality) of this marketing strategy.


Regarding how hard it is for StartUps to get a decent user base, i would not care about immorality either!


This is not a very sustainable marketing strategy. Mocking your potential future users is a bad idea - even though it might work for some time I doubt that it is the key to success.
