Week 3 Update: FB Page & Reach

Last Updated on October 14, 2025 by Jeremy

Week 3 Update
Completed: Oct 13, 2025 Theme: Social foundations · Authentic reach · Brand awareness

The only excuse for not starting now is fear. You can think up a thousand reasons to wait, but trust me — this is both the easiest and the hardest thing you’ll ever do. The difference is, I’m not afraid to show you how to do it… because I’m not afraid to learn.”

— Jeremy Denesovych, From 0 to 100K

What I Accomplished

I launched the From 0 to 100K Facebook Page three days before training (past Bootcamp intuition) and built out the social foundation.

  • Facebook Page created & launched early (31 followers; following 10)
  • Brand-aligned cover & profile visuals (navy–gold palette)
  • Authentic bio: “Helping everyday people turn ideas into income.”
  • Shared a WA blog + affiliate link using the first-comment method
  • Connected a brand-new YouTube channel for this site
  • Published: How I Write Blog Posts That Actually Rank (My 2-Hour Process)

Affiliate Bootcamp — Week 3 Checklist

Done
  • Created & optimized the Page (categories + description)
  • Uploaded cohesive profile & cover images
  • Seeded first posts (Welcome, WA link, motivation, behind-the-scenes)
  • Invited 25 friends • Commented on classmates’ pages
  • Shared WA post and website article to the Page
  • Logged reach & engagement and built a basic tracker
Replaced / Expanded
  • Launched a YouTube channel for cross-content
  • Added an extra long-form article for consistency

Mini-Lessons (What Worked This Week)

  • Story > Slogan: Posts with a personal moment or travel vignette outperformed polished promos.
  • First-comment link wins: Sharing the WA link in the first comment kept reach healthier than link-in-caption.
  • Timing matters: Early AM and late PM windows showed stronger reach vs. mid-day drops.
  • Ask for a reply: A simple question (“What’s your next step?”) added genuine comments.
Quick takeaway: Write like you talk around a campfire, then add one actionable line at the end.

Behind the Scenes

I’m sharing a look inside my Meta Business Suite → Post Insights for the motivational post: “Don’t wait until everything’s perfect to start — start, and let the process perfect you.”

  • Views: 69 (57% non-followers / 43% followers)
  • Interactions: 11 total (5 reactions, 6 comments)
  • Top demographic: Women 35–44 (71.1%)

Top Posts This Week

Post Views Audience Split Interactions Top Demographic Takeaway
“After a much-needed sleep…” (weekend reset) 64 58% non-followers / 42% followers 9 (5 reactions, 4 comments) Women, 35–44 (48.4%) Authentic life updates > polished promos
“Don’t wait until everything’s perfect…” (motivation) 69 57% non-followers / 43% followers 11 (5 reactions, 6 comments) Women, 35–44 (71.1%) Relatable motivation drives deeper convo

Quick Tools Tip — Building Authority with Meta Business Suite

  1. Schedule smart: In Planner, queue 4–5 posts/week. Test two windows (early AM & late PM) and note reach.
  2. Use first-comment links: Publish the post, then paste your WA link in the first comment with a short CTA.
  3. Watch Insights, not vibes: In Content → Posts, sort by reach and comments. Duplicate what wins.
  4. Audience lens: In Insights → Audience, check age/gender. My wins skewed to Women 35–44 — so I’ll write to them.
  5. One hero post → low-budget ad: Promote your best organic performer next week at $1/day for 7 days.
  6. Weekly review ritual: Every Sunday, log reach, reactions, comments, and notes. Consistency compounds.

Pro move: Save winning captions in a swipe file and reuse the structure with new stories.

Challenges & Wins

Hardest

Balancing social momentum while closing out Canadian park work and prepping for Costa Rica. Swapping hats between “park life” and “posting life.”

Best Win

Real, organic engagement on posts mixing travel-life storytelling and practical entrepreneur takeaways. Small numbers, strong signal.

Method Notes (Evidence of Process)

  • Pre-launch intuition gave extra polish time before tracking.
  • First-comment link keeps reach healthy while sharing WA.
  • Tone testing: relaxed storytelling beats rigid structure.
  • Cross-channel setup: YouTube launch begins the next layer of authority.

Looking Ahead (Week 4 Targets)

  • Begin a $1/day ad test on a top-performing post
  • Publish 2 new blog posts to keep the rhythm
  • Film a short YouTube intro & embed on homepage
  • Maintain a steady posting cadence (4–5 per week)
  • Build a simple link-in-bio hub for cross-platform flow

    I’ve been hesitant to use Facebook for affiliate marketing, so your post really caught my eye.

    You mentioned spending a dollar on ads. How do you decide if that dollar is actually working for you? Do you look more at clicks, page engagement, or something else? Also, have you noticed if that small spend leads to better organic reach over time?

    I’m still nervous about paid ads, but your results make me curious to give it a try. Thanks for sharing your progress!

      Hey Alyssa — appreciate you asking! The $1/day ad test I mentioned is actually part of my Week 5 plan, not Week 4 — I added it a little early while mapping things out. The goal is to boost one of my top-performing posts just enough to see what kind of reach and engagement that small budget can generate.

      When I run it, I’ll be tracking comments, saves, and overall engagement quality first — those usually show whether the message is connecting. I’ll also watch how the organic reach behaves afterward, since I’ve noticed (and heard from others) that even short, low-budget boosts can help the algorithm recognize a post and give future content a bit more visibility.

      I’ll include those findings in my Week 5 update once the test runs. Thanks again for the thoughtful questions — they’re exactly why I share these updates!

    You have provided a very well-organized article which is clear and easy to understand. I have given up using FB since I have had very little success.

    After reading your article with steps to help your readers, I am kind of thinking I might try FB one more time. Do you have any suggestions for a beginner with no success experience to get started on the right path.

      Thanks, Jeff — really appreciate that. And yep, Facebook can be frustrating when it feels like you’re posting into the void. What’s helped me is treating it like a campfire chat, not a billboard.

      If you’re restarting from scratch, try this:
      • Share short, real moments (1–2 paragraphs) + one takeaway.
      • Post during two test windows (early AM, late PM) and see which wins.
      • Put your link in the first comment, not the caption, to keep reach healthy.
      • Reply to every comment with a question to keep the convo going.
      • Each Sunday, log reach/reactions/comments in a simple tracker and repeat what worked.

      Re: the $1/day boost — that’s not part of Week 3. I accidentally listed it under Week 4, but it’s actually my Week 5 test (running now). I’ll be watching comments, saves, and organic lift after the boost, not just clicks.

      If you’re curious how that tiny budget performs, stay tuned for my Week 5 update later this week—I’ll share the numbers and whether the dollar moved the needle. You’ve got this, man—start simple, stay consistent, and let the small wins stack.
