  • Someone is offering me $1000 for a facebook page which has very few followers/likes

    Posted by seohelper on December 4, 2020 at 10:43 am

    So I’m trying to figure out how an old facebook page (8 years old) with less than 100 followers could hold value to anyone. I’ve spoken to him on the phone and it doesn’t sound like a scam. He’s suggested the page (and associated website, vimeo, twitter accounts) is the type of thing he wants to work on, and using existing content will help with SEO. To the extent that he’s willing to drop $1000K for it.

    Does this make ANY sense? Trying to figure out if there’s a hidden (non-scammy) agenda, so that I know whether $1000 is a good price. Could there by any other reason why he’s willing to pay money for some social media accounts with very few followers?

    Thanks

    I am sure there is escrow services which protect you from fraud/scams

    A common spin on purchasing Facebook pages is the:

    I sent you to much money – can you send the difference back scam (different account) -, they then do a reversal leaving you with -negative balance.

    If they have issues using an escrow or middle man service, just block and delete – if it sounds to good to be true…

    We once did something similar and offered way too much for a pinterest account with all corresponding social media accounts “for consistency” when in reality we were layin eye on the IG account which was about to hit a trend and we were sure it was about to go big.

    Without disclosure of the accounts or niche they are in , its tough to make any other assumptions.

    Go with the escrow nonetheless.

    Is it a good name/brand? Maybe that’s it, he has the matching url already etc.

    Use an escrow service, I have used escrow.com before for domains. Assuming you are not using the group any more take the money and don’t look back.
