Hey there! Recently, our client received a "tempting" offer from an agency. This made me think about two radically different methods of working with fan accounts. Let's break down both approaches and understand which one actually works 😅

𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗱 1: "𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵"

Method essence:

  • Many accounts (10+)
  • Huge amount of content (750+ videos per month)
  • Testing with "throw everything at the wall" method
  • "Shotgun approach" strategy

How it works:

  • Create multiple accounts
  • Launch tons of scenarios
  • Figure out what works through trial and error
  • Possibly relaunch successful scenarios

Cost: $15-20,000 for 10 accounts

𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗱 2: "𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵"

Method essence:

  • Few accounts (2-3)
  • Thoughtful content based on trendwatching
  • Working with top creators
  • "Sniper shot" strategy

How it works:

  • Do trendwatching and analyze successful content
  • Transform popular scenarios for specific niche
  • Work with quality creators
  • Create less content but with high probability of success

Cost: $13-15,000 for 2 accounts

𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗻 📊

Quantity Method:
26 accounts = 46 million views
Lots of content, but low efficiency

Quality Method:
2 accounts = 75 million views
Less content, but higher results

𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗱 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 🧮

With quantity approach:
If 10 accounts cost $15,000
Creator gets maximum $1,000 for 30 videos
Creator quality corresponds accordingly

With quality approach:
More budget per creator
Ability to work with professionals
Each video created with clear purpose

𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗼𝗽𝗵𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀

Quantity: "Launch Everything and See"
Is there any point in launching multiple scenarios and figuring out what works through trial and error when you can initially rely on proven data?

Quality: "Analyze First, Then Execute"
We rely on trendwatching: find popular content, understand why it works, and transform it for our niche.

Which Method to Choose?

Quantity approach works if:

  • You have lots of time for experiments
  • You're ready for unpredictable results
  • Budget allows for "spreading it around"

Quality approach is better if:

  • You need predictable results
  • Budget is limited
  • Efficiency of every invested dollar matters

𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆

Before choosing a method for working with fan accounts, think about your goals and resources.
Remember: Better to do less, but better!
