In the continuing effort to breathe some life into the channel, I've taken some advice from the forum and started an external promotion source. A new facebook page. Actually, it's an older one I had that was dedicated to local motorcyclists in my area. It has a few members, and has been around a while. So I've renamed it, made a few tweaks, and will use it to help promote the channel. LIke I sometimes do with my "real" business page, I will occasionally promote a post to get exposure in facebook land. Of course, the more I spend, the more I'm exposed. For example, last week I launched a promotion for my rug cleaning business, and spent $25 targeting local traffic within 50 miles age group 18-65+ for 5 days. After the promotion was finished, it was exposed to over 4000 people locally.
I know we don't all have oodles of cash, nor is it wise to spend too much money on advertising, especially for a venture like this which will most likely never pay, but since we are locked down with covid, there isn't much else to actually spend money on. I mean, last weekend I went to the movies and was the only person in the entire theatre. So, since money is piling up, I have a few extra bucks to throw into the channel. I will treat it like that. So I've launched a similar promotion on the page. Let's see how it goes.
In the future I may branch out and revive my old Twitter channel which I have done almost nothing with since it's creation, but not sure how to go about using it for promotional purposes. Any tips?
I'm not a social media guru by any means, so I don't know if there are other platforms I can dabble with, but open to suggestions for that as well.

Facebook is kind of handy now as a lot of groups will allow you to join as your page instead of your actual personal facebook profile, although some don't like that and insist on people joining with a profile rather than a page... which is utter BS in my opinion as they have loads of members using fake profiles lol
