How I used Facebook to create a following of 1.4+ million fans to my site and profit

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share a few things with you that I have learned over the past few months about marketing your website or niche on facebook and making it a HUGE hit and following. Plus how I made money from it.

Bottom line. My fan page currently has over 1.4 million fans. (Don't want to post on here but pm me if interested in seeing it) It is the fan page of an arcade site that I have. Now I want to start off by saying that I am a nobody that just does IM as a hobby and enjoys providing a product that people enjoy and want to come and see and stay a while :-) (hence the arcade)

Again, this is how I created this following and might not (spelling edited) work for everyone. First of all if you want to create a large following of people on facebook, the group or fan page MUST have an interesting title (if its not a direct niche you are looking for)

1) It's all in the name you choose.

2) Website must be related to that name in some way.

Facebook realized that I was creating a huge following and contacted me about getting the fan page authorized which I did. Basically, that confirmed that the page was directly related to the webpage and that I was the owner.

The reason this is important because fan pages with generic titles BECOME USELESS if facebook finds them. They will shut off your marketing power, your connection with your fans if you are not authenticated. Please be aware of that.

Now I have a direct marketing connection between my website (niche) and those 1.4 million fans. You can imagine the possibilities of driving traffic. I have driven almost 200,000 unique visitors to my website from facebook alone in the past 4 months.

I post status updates daily regarding new games added to the site etc and occasionally CPA offers (when allowed) relative clickbank, cafepress, all my facebook apps etc. The one thing about status updates is the fact that only the fans online at the time of post will see it (people that know facebook will understand this) But we do (once a month) send an update to all fans.

I also collect emails through becoming a member of our arcade site. Again, you can see the massive potential from all of this.

Finally, I can create groups and fan pages off of my current fans by promoting other groups or fan pages I have through status updates. The possibilities are endless.

I hope this post was a little helpful and I know I might have been a little vaque at times (I am thinking of creating an eBook detailing my process so I didn't want to give away all my info) Any questions please ask, as I will try to help you out.
