How I used meme pages to make over 5k in 20 days!

This is the perfect guide for anyone looking to leverage social media to gain sales for their small business with a very, very limited budget.

I’ll be sharing some tips and tricks on how I was able to turn a $12 promo post into over $5,000 in sales within 20 days. It sounds insane but sometimes marketing isn’t about having the highest quality video, a big spend for ads, or even a big following. At the end of the day, the best marketing is ALWAYS the one that was the most creative. So let’s get started and prepare to take some notes!

Let’s think outside of the box!

Back in 2020, I started a brand called Glowbabie. It was a black and woman-owned clothing brand offering T-shirts and accessories to socially conscious and sexually liberated women. I had great shirt designs, but I had very few resources to market any of them. I was a small business newbie with no money to put into ads and using influencers was a bit costly seeing that I only had $100 to my name at the time. What I’m about to share with you is a way to think outside of the box as if you were broke, and one thing about being broke is that you’re going to find a creative way to make your money stretch.

So, how can we make money stretch to grow a business? It all started with a revelation. I go on Instagram every single day and I’m consumed with content. From cute baby pictures to celebrity gossip but it wasn’t until I realized my Instagram “for you page” frequently suggested meme pages for me to view, and who am I to deny myself a good laugh? I chuckled at the memes I saw but these pages weren’t just funny, in fact, they drew a whole of attention. I’m talking 50,000 likes on just one static post of a meme with a cat. And suddenly these meme pages triggered my brain juices like Jimmy Neutron, and I was coming up with a strategy on how to use meme pages to my advantage.

Why meme pages and how does it work?

First off if you don’t know what a meme is it’s literally a great way to be humorous using gifs, images, and text. It’s straightforward and relatable, and you have a great chance of reaching your target audience. What I realized is that most meme pages on Instagram will promote any product, service, or brand for a small cost. The meme pages I reached out to had a promo cost ranging from $12-$50. So, not only was it cheap but I also had faster results. In real-time I could see people viewing my site, adding to their cart, following my business page, and more. The added bonus is that it didn’t stop there. Over the next 20 days, I constantly saw an increase in my day-to-day sales without having to run Facebook ads, and most importantly I didn't have to save thousands of dollars to feel like I could properly market my brand.

What attracted me to use meme pages is the huge reach these pages get which could lead me to my next sale. Think of it this way. If you have over 20,000 people seeing a post versus 2,000 people, it allows your content to be seen by more people which increases your chances of getting more sales. The more people/reach = the more profit. But how do you get more reach on the promo post if you’re promoting your product on a meme page, aren’t people coming there to view memes, not your product? Good question and the answer to that lies in my course.
