I'm popular
 

Say what you want about GFY, but GFY has taught me the subtle art of creating interesting posts and getting page views.

My hometown has a local Facebook group and since it's creation I have slowly been trolling the group, posting my "selfies with sunglasses", and starting interesting posts that get a lot of attention. The running joke in our town is that we no longer have a Taco Bell, so recently I dressed up as a construction worker and went to a construction site and announced that they weren't building a gas station, but instead a Taco Bell and ended up getting a lot of comments. Everywhere I go here in town people know who I am and just come up out of the blue to introduce myself. Local businesses - mostly restaurants - invite me to visit them.

Last night was typical. It's well known here in town that I freaking love pizza, and last night we went out to new pizza place to try them out. Son of a bitch... They had a picture of me behind the counter with instructions to call the owner if I ever showed up. We had already eaten by the time he showed up, but he gave me my meal for free and made me a "special pizza" to take home.

Of course it ended up on Facebook.

I am also consulting for a few people on Facebook - Not for money, but more to figure out how to do it and just for kicks. Any tips would be great.

Cool story, bro!

Did you dye your hair to look less like leno? :)

a guy I know likes to rub it in how popular he is on facebook, mentioning how he has over 250 friends on there. A while back he invited me to his birthday bash along with all those 250 "friends".

I was the only person outside his family to show up at the party.

I don't dye my hair at all....

Congrats?

Still waiting for you to post proof of your "assault rifles."

Here's tip for you....Don't believe your own press clippings.

Everyone in your town knows you and you rep for DF and troll GFY for a living? You're doing it way wrong...

Wow. That's pretty funny. Or sad. Or both.

Did he seem disappointed? Did you ever broach the subject with him?

Confucius says popular man not have to announce he's popular. :2 cents:

Disregard the detractors who would label you just another self-involved, egotistical, narcissistic, glory-seeking attention whore.

You parlayed it into free pizza!








j/king - we all play our unique and creative self-promo games in our own little way. :winkwink:

Must be the lighting. Your hair looks much darker in the new pic than the one you posted in that selfie thread.

You of all people should never use the words "trolling" and "slowly" in the same sentence.

It was the lighting.... Outside in the sun vs in a poorly light restaurant.

I used the term "trolling" very lightly. I just goof off here and every now and then debate a bit. People take me way too seriously when I am just having fun.

Don't hold your breath.

No one in my home town knows what I do for a living or even cares. When they ask I say "I do online marketing for a dating company and email platform" and before I finish they are yawning.

I haven't been. I've known you were lying which is why I called you out for it.

You're so cool. :thumbsup

I just don't feel the need to prove anything to anyone. I am not eight years old.

And old.

It doesn't matter what they think you do for a living. What matters is that they know you and you're obviously no capitalizing on that.

Let's put it this way, how much are you making currently? I'd venture a guess around $100K-120K/year, base salary, commision and affiliate income combined. And considering the current state of the industry I may even be generous.

Does that make for a reasonably comfortable living? Probably. But if it's true that everyone in your town knows you, then you could be at $40K-$50K A MONTH within a year or less. Then double that within another year, with only some moderate effort. If you did it right, of course.

He should run for mayor. If that's unsuccessful, open a party bus company that's a play on his family name.

You make multiple bullshit claims then post this when confronted about it?

You're not refusing to post it because of how you feel, you're not posting it because you flat out lied and can't cover your ass.

Thank God for Confucius, save me saying it :pimp

So you spend your time going around to empty fields dressed as a construction worker just to post it on facebook?

Yeah, I made a sixty second video. It's not like I spent an hour on it or even more than two minutes.

It spumds to me that you are wasting so much time on web forums. That time surely could be spent better for results that would dwarf a free pizza.

Yeah, no shit...

Only you would make a thread like this. Funny thing is you are the one people laugh at behind your back and even to your face and you have no clue.
You are the guy that just doesn't get it and never will.
The way you think is never the reality of it and that is what makes it so funny.
For over ten years it has been this way and this thread is just more proof of it.
Aaron calls you out again. He is not some made up troll but one of the guys around here that "gets it"
Keep up the good work getting free pizza because that is what it is all about LOL

hahahaha

Blah, blah, blah, blah is all I saw until you wrote "pizza." From that word on, you had my undivided attention.

Design is cool but going by that pic think it's safe to say that pie is still light years behind a good Chicago pie.

u rock dude!!!

Clearly I don't get it. Can you lighten up for just a second, take the stick out of your rump, and relax for a moment?

So when will you start?

Sounds like a very nice town to live! Great photos too :thumbsup

:1orglaugh

well played.

I Giggled. :1orglaugh

I am not into pizza, but I parlayed my notoriety to this yesterday

First, congrats!

And second, that is one scary-assed pizza! Delicious looking tho....

Your "notoriety" :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Is this real life?

So a couple of nerds bought up your "big bad biker" front, and now you think you're special? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh Oh man

If anything brought you notoriety, I figured it would be that super-ultra successful SEO host and super-ultra successful PR firm hahahaha
