I started four new Facebook pages in 2026 to see if I could basically post the same content I'm posting on YouTube and other platforms to Facebook and get organic viewers. And I am happy to see that Facebook is doing a pretty good job distributing my content with zero existing followers, and with no effort on my part to get reach anywhere else. I'm going to dive into the details of each of these different kinds of pages.
Why four Facebook pages instead of one?
Now, you might ask, well, why would you start four Facebook pages instead of one? Because I have a ton of content. I'm a full-time content creator. I'm publishing shorts and longs. If you look at my spreadsheet, I'm filming an average of seven videos a day. So I have a lot of videos to distribute, and they're on widely different subjects. Some of them are dating, I have gaming, I have crypto, I have vlogs, and I have videos for content creators. All of those shouldn't be on the same channels, and splitting them up helps the algorithms on all the different platforms know what kind of audience I have. So I'm going to look through my analytics on these different pages and show you what this looks like.
Long videos are surprisingly getting more views
Right now, what's interesting to me on Facebook is that lots of times my longer-form videos are actually getting more views. This is surprising. I'm actually getting more minutes watched on some of my horizontal videos instead of the vertical ones. I thought mostly reels would be getting the views, and the distribution is all over the place. This one, where I got reported at my yoga studio, did fantastic on YouTube. It got a ton of watch time and a ton of views. And on Facebook, I don't know how the algorithm works. It seems like a lot of stuff is just shadowbanned, or is not going to go out in the algorithm at all. For example, I did a video called something like "I want my kids to be proud of me," where I spent a thousand dollars on Hinge and got no results, and for some reason Facebook is not even trying to put that one out to anybody. But most of the videos, it is putting out to hundreds of people. On almost all my videos, it's putting them out to hundreds of people.
What's really cool is I'm using automation to do this. I'm posting long videos to Facebook manually, but I'm posting short videos to Facebook completely automatically. And some of these long videos are doing well. This one is one of my vlogs, "I met two women today, both of them want to date me," and it got an hour of watch time. It didn't get any followers, but it did get views and viewers, so it got more engagement than most of the other ones. Consistently, the long and the short videos are pretty unpredictable. So I'm just using a purely quantity-based approach. I'm just firing.
Automation with Repurpose.io
I'm using automation with Repurpose.io. I did a video on that previously, and it just fires my content out to Instagram, to TikTok, and to YouTube Shorts. Then all I do is manually upload long videos to YouTube, Facebook, and X. And what's cool is here's a long video where I uploaded it and it actually got me a new follower. This one went out four times as much as usual and got an hour of watch time. So the nice thing about the way I'm doing this is that I'm just firing all these videos out, and it is getting me followers. I pay no attention to the individual analytics. It's purely a quantity-based approach.
The Jerry Banfield show page insights
If you look at my insights, what you'll see is I've gotten 7,000 views on a brand new Facebook page, cold, with 2,000 three-second views and only 26 one-minute views. But I've got 12 hours of watch time on a brand new page, 98% from non-followers, and I have actually gotten a few follows on this particular page. This is my Jerry Banfield show page. I've got 10 followers on it, and it doesn't look like anything's happening. But that's thousands of views, and it's taking almost none of my time to set that up. And that's what's important.
The Jerry Banfield crypto page
It's the same basic story on Jerry Banfield crypto. Again, I'm a fan of the crypto market, but I wouldn't want to put all of these on one channel. Another reason you don't want to put all of these on one page is potential community guidelines issues. On TikTok, for example, I recently made a dating video about how black pill dating is a trap, and it looks like my appeal for that either went through or it's not shown publicly. But I did a video saying black pill dating is a trap, and TikTok said it was a community guidelines violation. Absolutely ridiculous. But the more profiles you have, the more you can afford to fire content out there and occasionally get a random, undeserved community guidelines violation. It's not a big deal, because you've got four different pages. So here's my Jerry Banfield crypto page. This one is all crypto videos. It has gotten thousands of views on it as well. Again, all organic, no followers, just firing content out all over the place.
The Jerry Banfield for Creators page
This is my Jerry Banfield for Creators page. It has videos just for content creators. Again, I'm just firing videos out, and this one gets hundreds of views on most of the videos. But then there's this one: why is this one shadowbanned? Zero views on it. I have no idea. At least from my view, I don't see why they don't even try to distribute some of these but they distribute others. It makes no sense, but that's up to them. My job is to just give myself a chance. So this page has thousands and thousands of views on it and only two followers. But again, if people go to jerrybanfield.com and end up paying for creator coaching or a call with me, and the automation costs something like $50 or $60 a month, then I can just fire all these videos out to all these Facebook pages and it pays for itself.
The Jerry Banfield dating page
Here's another one, Jerry Banfield dating. This one has two followers. Again, hundreds of views on lots of different videos from people not even following me. And what's cool is I have the chance that occasionally a video could go out to thousands of views. Maybe a video could hit tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands at some point. Maybe my existing followers will start watching my videos at some point and give me some more stable viewership. So I've just started all of these and they're all getting views.
Everything brings people back to jerrybanfield.com
All of them bring people back to my page at jerrybanfield.com, where I've got all my YouTube channels and all my different accounts on all the different platforms. So let's say somebody finds my Facebook page through my dating content, but they're also a content creator. Then they can follow the creator page. Or let's say they find the crypto page, but they enjoy my vlogs. Or they want to join my Skool, or join the chat and get coaching. This is just free additional viewership. And I use the same exact automation funnel to fire out to four Instagram pages, four TikTok pages, and six YouTube channels with YouTube Shorts. So I created all these pages, and this is just free views at this point. It's just free discovery. It's like paying for ads, except it's nearly free. And the upside, if any of these pages actually go off and get a solid following, is huge, and they could all feed each other. I hashtag #jerrybanfield on almost all of these. So if somebody does find Jerry Banfield for Creators, for example, then they should have a better shot at seeing Jerry Banfield dating, and the same thing with my vlog and everything else.
Professionals versus amateurs: a quantity-based approach
At this point, it's just too easy to use automation to not set all this stuff up. And being a content creator, the reality as I see it today is that it is a purely quantity-based approach. You need to just fire out videos to all these different platforms. That's the difference between professionals and amateurs. Professionals are people like me who are filming a ton of videos every day. These are just the videos I film: I film an average of seven a day, and then I'm firing them out to Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, and LinkedIn, and they're being distributed. Every day, my content right now is generating about 50 posts online, 50 individual videos. Even if I only get 100 views on some of these platforms like X and TikTok, that's 5,000 views a day through automation. Even 100 views each is thousands and thousands of views every day for free, starting from zero. And if I build up a following on some of these over time, I may start getting thousands of views, and then it will just snowball. On YouTube, I generally get thousands of views per video. YouTube is the number one platform, but all the rest of these are just free discovery.
So I'm impressed. Way back when, Facebook hardly gave you any reach if you didn't have a following. Now I'm getting a decent amount of reach for having no following. I had millions of followers on Facebook back in the day, and I deleted all of them because I got really tired of Facebook and getting demonetized and all that crap. Now I've got all new Facebook accounts a year later. There's no monetization on anything, but there are just free views. And occasionally people come to my website and schedule calls with me, go to YouTube, and so on.
So if you found this helpful, I invite you to go to jerrybanfield.com. I'm a full-time professional content creator and entrepreneur online. Anything you want to do, like setting up an automation system like this, I can help you.
