Another poster mentioned using some of these methods on a completely legitimate business. That’s the thing about these online businesses: if at any point you’re relying on a massive corporate entity you’re going to need to do something akin to the Facebook account resurrection discussed previously. Many times these big faceless organizations will shut you down for no apparent reason, and you won’t have a rep to talk to, any warning, or any recourse. Your description for your legit Amazon product might include some claims some random compliance department kid doesn’t like. Facebook might find something to nitpick in your terms or privacy policy. Dunno if it’s still this bad, but a few years ago these types of tiny things would get you instantly shut down. Now you’ve got 5-6 figures of product sitting in a warehouse somewhere, maybe some people who’ve already ordered but haven’t had their orders shipped yet etc. so what do you do? At some point most have to choose exactly whom they want to be ethical to. Is it the customer? Is it one or all of the vendors/platforms/service providers they use? Sometimes you can’t have it all. My advice would be to place the customers above all else.
That is why I am only interested in people that I can repeatedly sell to over and over again. Once I get them on my list, I can hit them up with more products without having to go through Facebook.
You obviously can't do that if you are pushing scammy offers.
I sell my own software and I have quite a few products built up that serves a group of people.
I work with a lot of other business owners, within the same niche, for traffic. These people have solid products and solid support. I trust them and they trust me and my products/support.
I don't need a lot of traffic to make a lot of money because I can sell more products to the same people and my main product, which I try to steer everyone towards, has a recurring billing plan.
The big takeaway I want people to understand is you don't need a huge amount of customers to make a lot of money.
Now if we look at the OP's model, you have to burn through a lot of people because you don't have repeat business. One sale for one customer and then on to the next sale. His markets are huge and you can scale big. When you hit a winner, you scale that mother and then it ends and you have to start over.
Personally, I would get burned out on his model. I'd rather put that energy into building products and selling to my existing customers.

Right, the only reason I mentioned it was due to the fake celebrity and fake news site comments by the OP.
