Big Ed Brown from 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? appears to be transitioning out of reality TV to focus on his career as a real estate agent, but his latest promotional video isn't receiving positive feedback. Big Ed was last seen on the show with Liz Woods. The couple had plans to get married, but Big Ed unexpectedly called off the wedding after an argument. He later admitted that he didn't believe Liz was the right match for him. Liz has since moved on and found love with her boyfriend, Jayson Zuniga. The couple recently celebrated their first anniversary.
While Liz has moved forward with her life, Big Ed is focused on excelling as a real estate agent.
Recently, Big Ed posted a video promoting properties available for sale in Lowell, Arkansas. He was dressed in a bear costume and playfully ran around like a little kid. Big Ed held a "for sale" sign featuring his picture and used the video to showcase prices and property amenities. He captioned the post with hashtags, "#relocatenwa #lowell #realestatedeals." Big Ed's post received fewer than a hundred likes and several negative comments. One social media user, @kellypaulhuff, sarcastically questioned his professionalism by writing, "excellent agent?" Another Instagram user, @habumx5, accused Big Ed of posting fake positive reviews.

Big Ed's new promotional video suggests he aims to increase property sales and leverage his reality TV fame to advance his career as a real estate agent. However, his hopes and aspirations don't seem to resonate with his audience, as evidenced by the lack of support for his Instagram post. Despite boasting over 600K followers on Instagram, the 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? alum's post only received 93 likes within a day. Besides, netizens are more focused on criticizing his physical appearance and personality in the comment section rather than paying attention to his message.

Big Ed has always sought attention. A few years ago, he nearly set himself on fire and pretended it was an accident. However, netizens quickly exposed his video as a plot for attention on social media. Following that incident, the Arkansas native promoted fart jars on social media, inspired by Stephanie Matto from 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, to attract clicks and views. However, fans are now more aware of Big Ed's behavior than ever before. They understand that he will do anything for attention, which is why many have stopped paying attention.

Big Ed Shouldn't Mix Real Estate & Reality TV
The low number of likes on Big Ed's real estate post suggests that he would be better off not using social media to sell properties.
Given his controversial image among reality TV viewers, promoting anything on social media does more harm than good for him. Big Ed would be more successful at using his social media to entertain fans rather than mixing his new career with reality TV scandals that could impact his new job. The former 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? cast member should focus on creating his usual content, as that is what attracts views.
