OK, I can give you a real world example of why parent commenter's strategy is useless. I had two pages on Facebook based on a very popular movie from the 1980s. One was the actual studio's page for the movie that I was given access to (as the studio admitted they don't give a fuck about any IP that doesn't have an immediate release - e.g. Blu-ray etc - planned for it), which had over 2 million likes. When you opened a Facebook account this page was one of the list that was often presented to a new user as something they should "like". The other was a fan page I'd made which was niche, had to be actively sought out, and had 30,000 likes. I experimented with selling branded products through the accounts. The small fan page sold 10X as many products as the official page that had almost 100X more followers. tl;dr: if you want to sell shit to your followers they need to be engaged with you - just having people follow you on autopilot is going to create nothing of value.
