Question about starting a FB for a tv show

10 replies
I've seen other people start fb pages for popular tv shows and they have 100's of thousands of fans. I'm thinking of making one as well but I'm concerned about posting pictures from that show because of copyright. I was going to put a disclaimer on the page stating that I'm not affiliated with the show or channel that it's on. Has anyone ever made a fb page for a tv show and if so have you had any issues with posting pictures of that show?

    Don't do it. You won't ever be able to monetize it. And yes you're right...anything you post on there could get you in a lot of legal trouble.

      Don't tell Kris and Jason Denhert that... They make six figures a month from their television show fan pages. There are hundreds of angels to take on tv shows that don't break the law.

      Here's one Kris started TODAY!!!!! https://www.facebook.com/SupportPhilRobertsonPage

      They already have a few Duck Dynasty pages that are in the hundred of thousands of fans. This is a new angle because of the buzz recently from Phil Robertson

    Doesn't even matter if it was paid, they hit a trend that exploded. They've probably done almost 40-50k on the tees or will by time the campaigns end. ridiculous!! but so awesome

    The worst that will likely happen is they could force you to hand over the fan page. But, yes, there is a ton of money to be made on fan pages of TV shows. Even characters on TV shows do well.

      Yes, and hes actually "in" with the family because of the way he runs his fan pages. Do due diligence. There are several ways to monetize.

    The chances are that you could get banned faster too! (if you try to make money with the page)
