In this YouTube monologue, the speaker recounts how, as a new entrepreneur, they were advised to run ultra‑cheap Facebook ads targeting Thailand to quickly inflate their follower count. By spending pennies per click, they amassed 70,000 followers, but the audience was largely non‑English speakers uninterested in business content, which crippled organic reach and prevented genuine growth. Realising the damage, the speaker reset their Facebook profile the following year, starting from zero and celebrating modest milestones like 1,000 video views. The core takeaway is that rebuilding from scratch is normal and should not be feared; everyone begins at zero when pursuing authentic engagement.

Years and years ago, I was a new entrepreneur and someone told me, just go run ads in Thailand because you get clicks for like a penny and you can get followers for like 10 cents apiece. And so I ran ads to get my Facebook following to 70,000 so I looked legit. Facebook then serves content that I have. This is back in the day to people who are the people who liked my page, unsurprisingly. And it turns out people who don't speak English and are just randomly selected from Thailand are not that interested in business content. And so it basically prevented me from growing my account when I actually wanted to go legit and make valuable content. And so we had to restart my Facebook profile just in this last year. And so for those who are like, man, he's, he's got all these— I started at zero this year. We were like, hey, we got 1,000 views on a video and we started all over again. So like, don't be afraid of that. It's just part of the game. Everyone starts at zero.
