Am I the only one who gets offers from clients with crazy unrealistic expectations about how fast a page can grow? Like no, sorry, I can’t get you 100,000 new TikTok followers within a month.

No, you're not the only one. I've had clients who expect pages to grow at an unrealistic rate and it can be really frustrating. Sometimes you just have to explain to them that SEO takes time and that you can't guarantee results overnight.

This is a common issue that web developers face. Some clients seem to think that pages can be magically created and will grow at an alarming rate without any effort on their part. Unfortunately, this isn't the case.

I wish my clients understood that pages take time and effort to grow, and there is no guarantee that they will ever reach a certain level of growth. I can't do it all for them if they're not willing to let me work effectively!

Just short sighted, spoiled people. They want everything fast and they don't care about building sustainable models for growth. Just stay away from people like that

These are the same people that think buying followers is a legitimate solution to grow your page lol

Nope, I get my fair of out of touch clients but it's all part of the job I fear

people are still coming to terms with understanding the potential of digital marketing. This should stop happening as much once it become way more standard and it better understood by the general population

Clients seem to think that they are paying for immediate results. I tell them it's like a gym membership. You need the gym membership to get the ball rolling, but it still takes consistent work over time to see results. Social media presence is important, but the ROI is slow.
