I need help with my new weight loss fb page! (please)

Its kind of hard to monetize 523 fans. Well if you want to make any kind of actual cash it is. Keep the ads going and get yourself up to 5K or so. Then start thinking of how to monetize the page. Also while your building your fan base make sure you keep posting regular / quality content.

Like Bruce said, it's hard to monetize small pages. Focus on growing your page before worrying about monetizing it. But once your page is larger, promote Weight loss products on Amazon or promote CPA offers.

It's not just hard to monetize 523 fans page. It would be plain stupid.

As soon as you start monetizing the page, you will lose a lot of your following. Your Best bet is to get AT LEAST 10-15,000 fans, and then start thinking about monetizing. Seems like ads are working for you, so why don't you keep on doing them?

Good luck!

Hey, dont worry, it isn't a Noob question.

What you should have done however, is thought of a niche that you could monetize through facebook, and thought about how you could monetize it before you spent the money. That way you could have done market research, like what genders/ages buy and tailor the campaign to your results.

That being said, i would promote a fitness product on Amazon (more "lady friendly" than clickbank in my opinion)

Remember to not go overboard on the promotion, you must keep the fans happy, it is vital!

One thing to consider is that you are in one of the most saturated niche areas so the chances are that the offers you eventually try to punt to them they would have seen before and ignored or bought, either way no help to you.

What you need to do is put yourself to the front of the queue and by doing that you need to give them reasons to come back to your page, ie quality content, interactable (not a real word btw lol) content not just useless drivel they can get anywhere.

Also when you get a bigger audience run an ebook special and get some email addresses, you will need an autoresponder, that way you can sell and sell again to them via email instead of littering you FB page with ads etc.

Had a quick view of your page(s) and a point I made above you have done on your own FB page but not the weight loss one so I assume you will be doing that when it gets bigger?

Seemed Jan 10 was a big day for you lol

Assuming that was the ads coming into play? Tbh I would keep doing what youre doing. Keep interacting with the audience and you cant go wrong. Put yourself in their shoes, what would you want to see but remember the point of the page is I Want To Lose Weight, so give them some helpful hints now and again mixed in with the funnies.

Although you have already done more than the average person as you could probably tell from some of the competitor pages that have <100 likes lol

P.S A little hint, some, a minority of people on the net are scrupulous and will try and rip you off, hack you etc. Never allow your personal info on the web, always pay the extra $2 for private domain reg. That way I wouldnt know you stay down the road from the wifes parents in Lisburn lol

Weight Loss is a very competitive market and there are lots of people promoting the niche all around the internet. What you are doing is definitely good, but I would suggest you to invest until you make 10,000 fans. After that stop investing and focus on posting quality content of different types. Informative, funny etc, keep mixing them.

Wish you all the best

Well, you told us what the fb page was called and how many fans it had so it wasn't hard to find it. Re your other page, which I can't remember just now as I'm on the iPhone, but I clicked the YouTube channel link which was dead btw, then done a search on the Whois of that domain and voila, came up with your details.

Seen the fb page on your IM site and it has the email collector in the welcome page which is was I meant when I said you have done what I advised on the post above.

Hope that makes sense

Promote products once you get over 10,000 likes but don't over promote or come off as if your only there to sell products, no one likes an in your face salesmen.

can you show us your fan page?
Didn't you have a business plan when you created your fan page?

Maybe you could try creating viral post "for every like Mary will loose a pound, follow us to see Mary's journey" and then put "Share and Like" in the post. Something about your post should coax users into liking or make them feel obliged to "like" your post. When I say obliged it is those posts that would make you feel guilty for not liking or sharing. I don't promote facebook pages but I use facebook often and these are the things I see.

This is from the perspective of a user not a marketer.

For now, focus on updating your page as often as you can and keep your followers updated. Weight loss is one of those interesting health niche that is not hard to maintain. If you are able to get a thousand followers then I'm sure you can monetize it by then.

Like others have mentioned, don't focus on monetizing - first focus on giving. Give great content. Curate articles/videos if need be. Give value away. People will become attracted to you and your fan page. Once you gain their trust, they will open their wallets!

I am new to weight loss on FB and my page so far has 2,500 super targeted US likes. If you want we can do a bit of post swap. You post mine stuff, I post yours. Please PM me if you are interested.

The weight loss niches is too saturated imo. Just focus on growing your fanbase first then monotize later.

Use your current fans to improve your edgerank that will help you gain free likes.
