How to monetize my facebook fan page?

Hello Warriors,

i have probably a strange question for some of you, but really need some ideas

So, my friend has 2 fan pages on facebook, each with over 100k followers. I help him manage them. The most common topics are music, sport and hot girls (add me page)

The question is, how can we monetize this? I can see the traffic is very low quality ( most are guys who search hot chicks ) so promoting products or cpa offers i think will not work to good or at all.

Do you have some monetizing suggestions for this situation or aren't there any ?

Thank you for support !

    Post more regularly (once an hour or so). Use more Viral Images/Meme's and ask questions.

    I like to ask a question, follow it up with a call to action (Like this post, etc) and below that put a Join The Club (Your autoresponder).

    I would mix up your message questions, images, videos, etc and every time include a link to join your list. When you get people who have Liked your page make sure they also "Get Notifications" that will help your organic reach.

    Good Luck

    I'm not sure how popular this is on Facebook, but you can try and contact other fan pages that are in your niche and offer to promote their page (in like a status post or picture caption) for a fee. This is the main way of monetizing Instagram, and is becoming a big way to monetize Twitter, so I'm sure you can do it on Facebook too!

    You can also sell followers, if your audience is responsive enough. In this model, other fan page owners would pay you a lump sum for, say, 1k followers, and you would promote their page until they have 1k more followers then in the beginning.

    Just some ideas!

    Good luck!

      Few things you could try (If you have REAL ENGAGED fans)- ... like selling individual t-shirts using teespring and / or setting up a t-shirt store around those niches...
      Could even look for products that would compliment your pages, set-up a store with shopify.
      Or affiliate marketing, It's just figuring out what will work best for your audience!

    If hot girls are a main thing, I can see "gym/fitness/self help" products being a great opportunity. These guys want nothing more than to be WITH one of these girls and the best way to improve their chances is to become fit and look great.

    Seek out some online stores that might partner with you, get a coupon for their store, earn $ on coupons, advertise their products.

    To get more active fans, like others have said you need to be putting up good content - consistently

      Or, maybe something dating related (self help dating ebook/course; magnetism, etc).

      If a guy is shopping online for hot girl pics, he likely does not have hot girls in his life and wouldn't he prefer that more than a photograph of one?

      So just help him get that and you will earn money.

    Best way to monetize very easily would be to start selling mentions if the page is big enough. Good market for doing so would be fiverr in my opinion.

    Try to link these pages to websites from the same niche: dating, hostess, whatever goes with hot girls. Also you could propose other related FB pages to pay you money to promote them on your page. It depends on the kind of fans you have, real ones or from click farms, because this influences your organic growth if you decide to make a site related to the Fb page.

    The most important question is this: are they real followers? If they aren't, trying to monetize them isn't going to do you any good. Their EdgeRank will be so low that you won't be able to reach anyone. This is true even after you start getting real followers because you have so many fake ones.

    Now, if they are real, engaged followers, then it's quite simple. Pay to boost a few posts to jump start engagement and then start curating useful content. Don't just blast them with links to your own sites. Set yourself up as a source for useful information in your niche. I know no one wants to give Facebook money, but boosting posts is actually quite cheap.

    As far as monetizing them, try ClickBank or Amazon, but don't link directly to a landing page. I like Amazon, personally, because of the 24-hour cookie. Yes, some people hate it, but customers that click away from your offer might buy something else that day at Amazon. It does happen...a lot.

    On the whole, you get what you pay for.

    Since your facebook fan pages are mainly about hot girls, then you can cooperate with some online dating website. For example, an online dating website gives you XXXUSD per month and you help this website advertise on your facebook fan page.

    I mean, since there are many online business/services online especially for those small ones, you can find the ones in your niche if you really want. They need exposure and your fan pages can help them, so if you can contact them and express your plans/ideas, I believe someone will cooperate with you and you can make money through your fan page.

    Sell products that solve problems for the people on the list. So if it's guys looking for hot girls, they might like a product on how to pick up girls better (seduction techniques etc.). There are books on Amazon that are suitable, so that's one option, and probably similar stuff on CB etc.

    You are on a testing mode so you can add splash posts pages collect emails and giving them something for free or guarantee some newsletters that they are related to your niche.After that you can start bulding a relationship with your audience sending them surveys and determine what your audience needs.

    You have to spend some time on this but always a strong email list which you be able to have knowledge about their preferences is most of the times a success path.

    You may want to consider MarketHealth's CPA offers. But along with that be sure to be building a list and using an autoresponder to follow up with them.

    Have you tried a quality giveaway in exchange for e-mail addresses? That is a gold mine you guys are sitting on right there. You could also create a website or blog around it (I'm sure someone above me has said this) and once a lot of those fans start going there you can sell ad space. I would also suggest using the audience insights tool to get to know your demo better and you can also try Likealyzer.com

    DO NOT sleep on this opportunity lol

    Well I have 1700 fans and according to F.B. only 50 of them see my posts. This is because FB wants you to pay for people to read your posts. I don't see how fan pages are worth much now days.

      Are you posting at the optimal times for your audience? Are you posting mobile and desktop newsfeed? I posted an image last night to a small fanpage I have and within 30 minutes it had reached over 100 fans.

    Yeah, things sure changed. But still, you can get decent reach, it's just a matter of content. For example, I have 4k fan page, one of my post reach was 10k. And it wasn't isolated. You just have to post viral stuff, 3x times a day.

    Put a pic of a hot girl and under it say something like: "Would you like to date me?" The guys searching these pages are desperate , add a link to a clickbank dating product, and you should get some action.
