Is Flipping Pages Dying?

I think managing an agency that owns people’s personal brands is the way to go now. Utilizing SWAPD is the best way to jump start this

I’ve been studying this case for the past few days and how it was done

This guy gained 355k twitter followers in 4 days, selling out shows this week and getting millions of streams, because he signed to an agency that paid every conservative Twitter account to go against the establishment in a country song

It’s not about sponsoring the creators it’s all about OWNING the creators now

Summer does have a big impact on this as well. Once summer is over people will have nothing to do but go back to business.

I think the price drop is more reflective of the real value of the products/services. 2020-2022 people had virtually unlimited money to spend (low interest rates, NFT/web3 boom, etc) and there was an all high desire for social media services.

With Twitter/Meta offering paid verification services, there is no real incentive anymore to pay someone else to verify these accounts. Barely anyone can qualify for tiktok verification these days, so the whole verification niche is sort of dying.

Imo i think these activity levels are going to be the future, until the next boom

Isn’t it amazing that we talk about social media assets/services like they were commodities? :smiley:

Mr Zuckerberg comes into the store, THEN WHAT?

@devani describe your daily duties as an agency owner.

Zuck lives in NorCal and runs a billionaire dollar company. It’s like Kanye caring what a hype beast store is selling. Never gonna come in

As a Melrose SWAPD agency owner I would manage my store similar to Cool kicks LA on Melrose (millions of dollars a year biz)

Have accounts and services on the wall ( kind of like shoes) shown on IPads that are listed on swapd (with cool LED lights around it etc).

Have one wall for Twitter, one for insta/ FB one for tik tok , one for everything else

Melrose is arguably the second most popular street in California next to rodeo drive and THE most popular street for resellers . Thousands of people walk the street everyday coming to spend $$$

Daily activities, managing top LA clients building relationships , scheduling in person workers, managing the social media marketing team for the space

You can flip quality assets. It’s just the matter of time!

That would be the coolest thing ever but so unviable :joy:

That. Quality still brings in money. Also, SWAPD always was a service-orientated website. 80% of our sales come from services and not from sales of accounts/pages. This wasn’t our intention when we created the site, but that’s how we ended up. Services still bring in the most revenue for us and the sellers.

What kind of services? I wasn’t aware that you guys offered services.

We don’t. Our sellers do. LITERALLY a whole range of services:

Bumping this! Some interesting points to consider:

  • A year and a half later (from when this thread started), and we’re still here.
  • People are still flipping.
  • Sites like Flippa have entered the game.
  • Escrow.com continues offering social media sales.
  • OGU has been resurrected.
  • FameSwap, after getting banned from selling IG accounts by Meta, is back with a new website—so it’s clearly still lucrative.
