Facebook Fan Page Profits
Getting Started
Now
before anything else I am not going to bore you with a long winded introduction
on Facebook and how it started. I am sure you will be familiar with Facebook
and its owner Mark Zuckerberg (the former high school nerd) who is a
billionaire, who created the site in 2004.
Now
most people you know will be on Facebook. The amount of traffic and the level
of publicity Facebook receives is astonishing. This is why there is a lot of
money to be made from Facebook.
Fanpages
Since
the introduction of Fanpages Facebook has changed the way we market our
business online. Facebook Fanpages allow you to market to a certain audience,
anywhere across the world.
In
the first section of this guide I am going to focus on creating your first
fanpage. Now to make it easier I am going to be focusing on one specific
fanpage throughout this guide. I will make a Fanpage from scratch and show you
exactly how I monetise it with CPA/Clickbank offers.
I
will also show you how to make money by “renting out” Fanpage status updates to
people.
Creating Your
First Fanpage
Now
before you create your first Fanpage make sure you do a bit of research. If you read myFREE
prequel reporton Fanpage Dollars I show you the
different research methods I carry out to see what type of things are “buzz
worthy” and what people are talking about.
In order to create your fanpage
simply head over to
http://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php?
Now here we can see we are
given two options.
The
first option is an “Official Page” and the second option is a “Community Page”.
If you are going to be creating a fanpage for a business or a brand then you should be creating an “Official Page”.
However,
if you are going to be targeting a niche market then I would create a
“community page”.
So
therefore, for the purposes of this example I am going to create a fanpage on
“Short Emo Hairstyles”.
Now
notice the title of my fanpage is going to be something different. It contains
the main keyword but to stand out I am going to call it “I think Short Emo Hairstyles are Sexy!”
Now according toGoogle Keyword
Toolour keyword generates a lot of searches.
As
you can see the keyword “emo short hairstyles” generates just over 40,500
searches per month.
This is a lot of searches
for this keyword.
Now
I am going to click the “spy glass” link to see what it shows onGoogleInsights.
We can see that this niche generates a lot of interest from countries such as UK, USA and Canada. This is useful because when it comes to CPA offers we can focus on promoting offers to this market.
Also notice that the top “search terms” are “emo short hair” and “short emo haircuts”.
Now
I am going to head over toWordtrackerand
get an estimation on how many searches there are for this keyword.
These
are the results from Wordtracker Gtrends. We can see that there are a lot of
searches for the keyword “short emo hairstyles” and other related keywords to
this niche.
The
next thing I am going to do is head over to Google and see how much competition
there is for this keyword – “short emo hairstyles”.
Now
we can see that the keyword in quotes (According to Google Keyword tool) there
are just over 18,100 searches.
Now
if we head over to Google and type in “short emo hairstyles” in QUOTES we can
see that there are just over 78,000 results (this is excellent news).
Now
this is good news because competition is VERY LOW for this keyword. Now I am
going to head over toInstant Domain Searchto
see if I can snap up a nice keyword rich domain for this.
As you can see there are two
good keyword rich domains that are available.
I am going to go ahead and
register the .org domain name.
So I am going to head over
toNamecheapand register the
.org.
(.org domain names are just
as well ranked on Google as .coms).
Now
that I have registered the domain I am going to link it to my webhost and
create a simple Traffic Hub.
A
traffic hub is a simple portal (one page) which will act like a landing page to
your Fanpage.
Now the first thing I am
going to do is install Wordpress on this domain name.
Wordpress
can easily be installed using your host through “one click” feature via the
Fantastico link.
I am not going to teach you
how to install Wordpress as its pretty easy.
I just like getting straight
to the point.
Once
you have installed your Wordpress website it should end up look something like
this (see below).
Now
at this stage what you need to do is simply add a Facebook “liked” button so
that links to our Facebook fanpage.
Now
let’s go back to our Fanpage firstly and create it before we link it to our
website.
Now
once you enter the title of your Fanpage (in this case “I think short Emo
Hairstyles Look Sexy” you should see a screen that looks like this.
Now this is the part where
you need to edit your Fanpage and fill in the details.
I would start off by
including an image that relates to this.
Now
when it comes to an image please be careful. Do not use an offensive image or
an image that contains the URL of a website. Facebook is strict on images.
However, I have had no problems in using images from Google Images. Here is the
fanpage updated now with an image.
Now the next thing to do is add basic information about your
fanpage. Here as you can see I have added information and have invited people
to “share their pictures of emo hairstyles”.
Now as for a URL at this
stage I am going to leave it blank.
I will talk more about
including a URL, later on in this guide.
For now let’s focus on
creating the fanpage.
Now
the next thing you need to do is add the “liked page” on our keyword rich
website.
As you can see there is an
option on our fanpage that allows us to do this.
Click this button – until
you see a screen like this.
As you can see this section allows you to customise the “Like
box” button before you display it on your website. Change the Facebook Page ID
code to the unique number you have for your Fanpage.
So
for example, the URL of my “Short Emo Hairstyle” fanpage is
http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/I-think-Short-Emo-Hairstyles-Look-Sexy/125224834190970?ref=ts
In this case the unique
number is the one highlighted in RED.
Once you have finished
customising it simply click the “Get Code” button.
Next you should see two options – Iframe and XFBML. You can
use either one. Once you have selected your code click “Done” and simply paste
the code onto your website.
I chose to paste it after my
post on my website (see below).
Now at this stage there are
no fans joined to this fanpage.
As
you can see I have made sure the title of my post contains the main keyword and
also the short description after the post.
You might want to use a
longer description. However, this is just an example.
Now
going back to our fanpage there is also an option to link our fanpage to
Twitter so your followers can see your updates.
Now before we you start monetising your fanpage in the next
section I am going to talk about how to direct traffic to our Keyword rich
Wordpress website so that you will start appearing on the first page of Google.
This
is important before anything else as this website will act as a PORTAL Traffic
Hub for your fanpage and it will also direct people from the search engines to
your fanpage.
Directing
Traffic to our Traffic Hub
The next thing to do is
direct traffic to our traffic hub website.
Now
at this stage having a keyword rich domain is a good idea because when it comes
to outsourcing your SEO then you will have an excellent chance of ranking on
the first page.
When
it comes to driving traffic to my traffic hub website I use Article Marketing. Article marketing
directories such asEzine ArticlesandArticle Baseare
my preferred choices.
Article directory sites are
always seen as authority sites and people tend to look at articles as authority
articles.
Now
going back to our traffic hub website we can see that our main keyword is
“Short Emo hairstyles”.
If
I wrote an article on “short emo hairstyles” then I would make sure that I
would do the following.
Keyword in Title–Make
sure keyword is in the title of your article (use a long tailed keyword if you
have to).
Keyword
Twicein the first paragraph
Keyword once in the article
Keyword twice in the last
paragraph or 2.
You can easily outsource
your articles by usingElanceorOdesk.
A
backlink service will also be a good idea because it would increase your
chances of getting your traffic hub portal on the first page.
However, I do not want to bore you on traffic generation
methods on this section because this course is about fanpages and I am going to
mainly focus on fanpage traffic.
The
purpose of this section was to show you how you create a Traffic Hub portal for
your Facebook fanpage so you get autopilot traffic from the search engines. In
the next section I am going to go through several detailed traffic generation
techniques to direct traffic to my fanpage.
Traffic
Generation Techniques For Fanpages
When most people create a fanpage they are often left to
wonder on how to drive traffic to their fanpage. In this section I am going to
show you how I am going to drive traffic to my brand new fanpage on “short emo
hairstyles”.
So
just to remind you here is a screenshot of my Fanpage (Before the traffic
generation techniques were applied).
The only“fan” at the moment
is me.
Now I am going to start
directing traffic to my fanpage.
My
favourite traffic generation method is to head over toFiverr.comand
simply pay for “status updates”.
So
let’s go to Fiverr and see what services we can use to buy status updates from
people.
The first thing you need to do is click the “Social Marketing” category on Fiverr and see
what kind of services people are offering in relation to Facebook Fanpages.
We
can immediately see that there are several services that you can use where
people are offering Facebook “invites”.
So for example, here is an example of aservicethat will generate you lots of fans in a short space of time.
We can also see that this
guy has excellent feedback from people.
In
relation to my fanpage – which is about “emo short hairstyles” it is important
you find the right target market. So for example, this guy is a “lead singer”
and there are a lot of people on his list who are into music and are into “emo
hairstyles” – perfect!
The next thing to do is
contact this guy in regards to the GIG and place and order.
Now
once you have ordered a GIG order another GIG - In fact if you are going to be
spending $5.00 on each GIG then I would at least contact 10 Gig owners (spend
$50.00) in getting lots of traffic to your Fanpage.
Here is anotherGigI am going to use
as this has excellent feedback.
Gigs
on the “featured section” on Fiverr tend to generate a lot of views and also
have sellers with a positive feedback
Here isanother Gigthat is bound to
get you a lot of traffic for just $5.00.
And here isanother servicethat I have used
to boost my Fanpage traffic.
This person will invite
15,000 of her friends to your fanpage for just $5.00.
Once
you have ordered several Gigs you will simply need to wait whilst traffic to
your fanpage increases.
Usually Fiverr members will
update you on the status of your order.
Here is an update on our
“Emo Hairstyle Fanpage” from two sellers.
This seller has provided a
screenshot of the Gig I just ordered.
As
you can see this seller is also charging $30 for 100k people if I buy the Gig 6
times. This is insane and this can truly make your Fanpage go “viral”.
Let’s take a look at the
“proof” shall we?
This
is the screenshot that I was supplied by this seller. As you can see they have
invited ALL of their 5000+ people onto my FanpageJ
I am a happy bunny now
because this proof has given me confidence!
Now
it has just been 10 minutes and traffic to my Fanpage has already started to increase.
Here is a screenshot of my
fanpage right now (7pm UK British Time).
As you can see “20 people
have liked” this already, in such a short space of time.
Fiverr
is an excellent resource to buy Fanpage invites and increase traffic to your
Fanpage in a short space of time.
The
reason I like Fiverr so much is because you can find quality sellers who will
do the job without a fuss.
There are also other ways to
increase traffic to your Fanpage.
Tagging and @ Tagging Feature
One
way of increasing lots of fans to your Fanpage is the process known as Facebook
“tagging”.
This involves uploading a photo or an image and then simply
“tagging people”. Now I know when I have been “Tagged” on Facebook I always
have to see who tagged me. Curious people are always going to be “curious”
about something.
Now
you might want to use a creative image. For example, an image that contains
text and a URL link to another website perhaps?
By doing this you will get a
lot of people viewing the image.
For
example, if you had an Iphone 4 landing page CPA offer then by using “tagging”
people will end up joining the fanpage and clicking on your URL link.
(More on Landing pages later).
The @ tagging feature
Another
cool feature you can use is called the @ Tagging feature. This involves posing
on your Fanpage wall and tagging another URL link or tagging another Facebook
user.
For example, here is you can see on one of my Fanpages I have tagged my latest fanpage.
The
advantage of this is that your Fanpage will turn into a nice short hyper link
as opposed to a “long winded” link.
The “Suggest Feature”
Now
traditionally when you create a Fanpage you immediately want to start inviting
all your Facebook friends. Although, this can get you a lot of traffic to your
fanpage in a short space of time you must ask yourself whether this traffic
will be targeted to your fanpage. For example, if your Fanpage is on rap music
and most of your friends are Internet Marketers then it would be no point in
inviting your 5k friends to your “rap music fanpage”.
However,
if you want to know how to invite ALL of your Facebook friends to your fanpage
in a short space of time then you simply need the following JavaScript code.
javascript:elms=document.getElementById('friends').getElementsByT
agName('li');for(var fid in elms){if(typeof elms[fid] === 'object'){fs.click(elms[fid]);}}
Simply
paste this code at the top of your browser and then simply invite all your
friends.
This
will invite all your friends to your fanpage. Of course not everyone will join
your page and they might even delete you, but this is an optionJ
In
the next section I am going to discuss how you can use monetisation techniques
to drive hoards of traffic to your fanpage.
These techniques involve
adding extra features to your Fanpage.
Monetisation
Techniques For Your Fanpage
One
of the best ways to attract a hoard of traffic to your Fanpages is to monetise
your Fanpage so people can spread the word about it.
In
this section I will cover several powerful techniques you can use today for
your fanpages and get more out of them.
I will continue using my
“Emo hairstyle” fanpage as an example.
Before
anything else I am firstly going to show you how to install the “Static FBML”
application.
Thisapplicationallows you to add
HTML to your fanpage.
Adding this to your fanpage
is easy.
Simply head over to
http://www.facebook.com/#!/apps/application.php?id=4949752878&v=wall&ref
=tsandthen
click “Add to page”.
The next thing to do is
click the “Add to Page” button.
You are now ready to add
HTML code to your Fanpage!
I
have added a special script with this course that you can simply copy and paste
onto your WYSIWYG web editor.
The first thing to do is
edit your FBML settings by clicking the edit tab.
When you click the “edit”
link you should see something like this (see below).
Now
this section is very important. Using this application we can create an attractive
landing page with videos and graphics.
Now
first things first – if you are not good at graphics you can always outsource
this to someone creative.
I
usually hire my personal graphics designer Karl Warren. You can email him at karlwarren@learnzed.com
The
next thing to do is simply open my script (the code) that is attached with this
course and paste it onto your web editor.
I
personally use Frontpage but if you want to use a free web editor you can try http://www.coffeecup.com/html-editor/
WYSIWYG
editors will allow you to create your content on your web editor before you
choose to paste it onto your Fanpage.
As
you can see this basic code that I have supplied has basic placeholders where
you can include your image and content.
Now
using this code and our web editor we can add images and text for our fanpage.
This
code is also excellent to add a landing page. So for example, if you have a CPA
offer with an attractive landing page then you can simply plug in the landing
page onto your web editor and hyper link it to your CPA offer.
So for example, here is a US CPA offer on “hair extensions” that I have decided to add to my Fanpage landing page.
You
can also embed Youtube videos to your landing page. Videos make a big
difference in the way people will view your fanpage.
I am going to show you
step-by-step on how to do this.
In
order to embed a Youtube video on your Facebook fanpage you need the following
code.
<fb:swf
swfbgcolor="000000" imgstyle="border-width:3px;
border-color:white;"
swfsrc='http://www.youtube.com/v/CUs2Ek8-qng'
imgsrc='http://img.youtube.com/vi/J_CjzJqoYtc/2.jpg'
width='480' height='385'
/>
Click the image to start the video
I have attached this code
also on the download page.
Where
it says “SWFSCR” you need to enter your Youtube URL in the following format.
http://www.Youtube.com/v/YOUTUBE-ID
So for example, here is a
video on “Emo Hairstyles”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUs2Ek8-qng
Now notice the CUs2Ek8-qng
This
is the bit that you need to enter in the URL Format above.
So
our video link becomes
http://www.youtube.com/v/CUs2Ek8-qng
You simply paste the entire
above code (below) onto your web editor.
<fb:swf
swfbgcolor="000000" imgstyle="border-width:3px;
border-color:white;"
swfsrc='http://www.youtube.com/v/CUs2Ek8-qng'
imgsrc='http://img.youtube.com/vi/J_CjzJqoYtc/2.jpg'
width='480' height='385'
/>
The image part can be
anything you want the image to be.
Once you have pasted this
code onto your web editor.
As you can see our fanpage
now has video embedded onto it.
Videos
make a big difference when it comes to your Fanpage. People are always
attracted to videos online.
You can also add a nice opt
in page to your Fanpage.
This
is pretty much easy. Simply log in to your Autoresponder and grab the code and
simply paste it into your fanpage html code.
Now
the advantage of adding an Opt in page to your fanpage will help you build a
list. So for example, if you want to reward your fans by giving them something
for FREE if they join your fanpage you can always grab a cheap PLR report from http://master-resale-rights.com/index.phpandhttp://www.masterresalerights.com/foryour niche.
A
really cool trick you can use for the “html” part of this method is that you
can create a large .jpg file and store it on a server somewhere and then simply
linking it to on the FMBL application area using just one line of code:
<img src =http://www.yourwebpage.com/image.jpg
You can hire someone to
create you a large graphic 760px wide.
Again
you can hire Karl Warren from the Warrior Forum to create you a nice graphic
like this.
Here
is an example of several such companies that are using this method to get more
people to their page.
Coca Cola
Coca
Cola has a very attractive landing page. As you can see they want people to
“Like” the page by including “call to action” text.
Here is the actual link to their fanpage -http://www.facebook.com/cocacolaand you will
notice how interactive and funky the experience is for the prospective user.
NYC Quits Smoking
Here is anotherFacebook fanpagethatuses a “call
to action” feature.
This fanpage also has lots of useful content and engages an interactive social element
with its fanpage members.
This
is a prime example of a Fanpage that has good content and has excellent “call
to action” features.
Skittles
Here
is another example of a “call to action”fanpagethatengages
the person to click the “Like” button at the time.
You
can see that the Fanpage is very colourful and has lots of “call to action”
features – such as the “share” button.
Just to summarise to get more out of your fanpage you need to –
·       
Hire a graphics person to create
you an attractive landing page with “call to action” features – such as “liked”
text.
·       
Make your landing page colourful
·       
Have lots of “call to action” features below the
landing page
·       
Include an opt in page so you can capture leads.
Did you know that there is also a way of getting “non members”
of your fanpage to land on your landing page (with all your “call to action”
text) before they can see anything else?
So for example, if you created a fanpage and start telling
your friends about it then they will see the “welcome page” first and will have
to “like” the page in order to read the wall posts.
There are two main ways to do this.
1.  Go back to your fanpage edit page area until
you see a screen like this.
Click the “Link to this Tab”
until you see a screen that looks like this.
This
long link takes people to your Welcome page (landing page) directly. So if you
have a URL shortener service such as Tiny URL then you can simply paste this
long link onto your URL short service and after it shortens it people will see
the landing (welcome page) first.
So
for example,http://bit.ly/dhkauswill
take people to Emo Hairstyle landing (welcome page).
The second way to do this is
to go to your Wall and click on the “settings” tab.
Now
NON members of your Fanpage will see your WELCOME PAGE (Landing page).
So if you want to immediately hit them up with a CPA offer such as a FREE Iphone offer
then NON members will see your landing page immediately. On the landing page you
can have a “call to action” feature such as “Like” this page to win a FREE Iphone etc.
Setting a Nice
looking URL for your Fanpages
Now
as soon as you create a Facebook fanpage you will be given a long “ugly
looking” URL. Now personally, I would make sure that my URL sounds professional
and is easy to understand. So if you are going to promote your Fanpage then you
need to have a good looking URL people can remember.
So
for example, for my Facebook profile if people want to contact me then they can
head over to Facebook.com/ImranNaseem
Now the best way to set your
own URL is to head over to
You should then see a screen
that looks like this.
Now
as you can see I am going to select a “keyword rich URL” and once you click
“check Availability” you should see that you will be given a few terms and
conditions you must accept.
Next click “Confirm”.
Now your URL is much better and much professionalJ
You have to have 25 fans or
more in order to get your own usernameJ
Update on my
Fanpage
Here is an update on my Fanpage that I created from scratch. As you can see I now have 1000+ fans.
The
strategies seem to be working and that means this page will effectively grow on
complete Autopilot.
(I
will teach you later on in the report on how to make money from your Fanpages).
Grow your Fans
further by Facebook PPC Ads!
Facebook also allows its
users to further increase its fans by the use of Facebook Ads. Now this is
excellent because if you want to target a certain country then you can make
sure you set the ads so that they only show to a certain country. For example,
if you want just want the UK population to view your ad then you would set your
ad to UK people only.
In
order to create your campaign you need to click the “promote with an advert”
link.
Once
you click this link you will then be taken to the page where you can customise
your ad.
Now
as you can see you can choose the body of the text. I usually make it short and
simple and use eye catching words.
I am going to target UK and
USA people only.
As you can see I am going to
target people who like “Rock” and “Emo” stuff in
general.
These categories are perfect
and it will reach out over 3 million people on
Facebook!
Now I would keep a daily
budget of $5.00 and pay 0.60 per 9,100 impressions.
I prefer to pay per
impressions as opposed to paying per click.
Once
you have created and customised your ad simply click “create ad” until you see
a screen that looks like this.
Simply click “Place order”.
Your ad should then be live after
a few hours.
In the next section I am going to show you the type of
Fanpages to create for the right Clickbank/CPA Offer. This section is very
important so please make sure you study this carefully.
Types Of
Fanpages To Create And Types Of CPA/Clickbank Offers
Now we come to the section where I am going to show you the
type of fan pages to create and the type of offers to promote.
Creating
a fanpage is just the first thing you need to do. You need to make sure this
fanpage is making you money.
Now
generally speaking Fanpages that will make you money are ones that will have a
community of “passionate” people who are passionate about something. An example
of a “passionate” group of people is in the Tattoo niche. This is a huge market
and this is a market where individuals can all “share” their tattoos on your
Facebook fanpage.
For example, here are
several Facebook Tattoo Fanpages that have lots of fans.
Here is oneTattoo fanpage–created by
someone.
There are just over 153,000 fans on this fanpage and it is all full of “passionate” people
who are all passionate about Tattoos.
Now
let’s take a look at the landing page of this fanpage to see what this person
is doing to monetise his Fanpage.
Now we can see that if we click on the landing page the text URL directs the person to
another link on the fanpage (see below).
As you can see this person is directing people to his Tattoo website where people can
share their Tattoos with the world.
Here is anotherTattoo Fanpagethat is easily
making $200-$500 a day.
This
fanpage has just over 481,442 fans at the moment and the first thing you should
notice is that all of these people are passionate about this niche.
Now
we can see that the owner of this Facebook fanpage is monetising and making
money by promoting an Affiliate offer.
Now if we click on this affiliate offer we can see that it takes us to the following landing
page (see below).
Now
this is a dating Tattoo community who all have the same interest. They have an
affiliate program athttps://www.singlescash.com/
Now we can further see that
this guy is making a ton of cash by promoting
Clickbank Tattoo Affiliates
also.
http://www.facebook.com/tattooworld#!/tattooworld?v=app_2347471856
This
guy has spent a lot of time and effort into monetising his Tattoo fanpage and
is therefore, making a lot of money.
NowClickbankis
an excellent marketplace that has lots of different niches with “passionate”
people.
Here are some other examples
of niches you can create a Facebook fanpages on.
Weight Loss
Breakdancing (street dancing)
Repairing Xbox 360
Cooking And Recipes
Games
Niche Music
Game Guides
Movies
(Watch FREE Movie Online Fanpages are popular – link them with Clickbank movie
products)
Before you create your fanpage for a specific Clickbank offer make sure that the
Clickbank offer you target has a good landing page and it provides you with good
promotion tools.
I
like to experiment with different types of niches. Remember the more you test
the more likely you will come across a profitable niche.
CPA offers +
Fanpages
Now
a lot of people have asked me how you make money from CPA and Fanpages.
Now
this is not difficult at all. All you need is the right CPA offer and the right
Fanpage group who will be willing to complete your CPA offer.
Generally
I find that simple email submit offers are very easy to convert. This is where
the user simply enters their email address or zip code.
Here are some examples of CPA offers I have used to make money from.
This
is the Iphone 4 offer. The user simply enters their email address and you get
paid just over $1.25.
The key to convert offers like this is to include a “welcome”
landing page on your Facebook fanpage. On the landing page you need to have
several “call to action” features.
As
well as including a landing page you also need to make sure on your Fanpage you
include a link to your CPA offer.
So
if you was to promote the above Iphone 4 offer I would create a funny CPA
Fanpage but that at the same time relates to the Iphone.
For example, an example of a
funny fanpage could be :-
“I
hate it when my Iphone battery dies”
“I
want to marry my Phone”
“I
sleep with my phone next to me”
Fanpages
like these will end up getting a lot of visitors mainly because these are
everyday things people do.
So here it the simple process I would follow.
·       
Create your Fanpage
·       
Find your CPA Offer – is it international or aimed at
US people only?
·       
Use Fiverr to outsource and buy invites for $5.00
·       
Use the power of Traffic Hubs – register a good
keyword rich domain
·       
Hire someone to create you a good
looking landing page or use the landing page provided by your CPA Company.
·       
Make sure you include your CPA
Affiliate link on your Facebook fanpage on your wall as a “status update” and

Converting high
involvement CPA offers
High involvement CPA offers are ones that pay up to $40-$60 for a simple form submit.
Normally these offers require the user to take out a trial offer. Here are examples of
typical CPA high involvement offers.
This
offer pays $28.00 for a trial offer. This offer is aimed at people who want to
quit smoking.
A
good Facebook fanpage would focus on something along the lines of helping
people quit smoking.
For
example, you could create a Facebook fanpage on “I want to quit smoking but I can’t stop”.
I would then create a
landing page (welcome page) and link it to this CPA offer.
You will be surprised as to
how quickly Fanpages like these end up growing.
Here is an example of aFacebook Fanpagewhich fits this category.
As you can see this Fanpage
has over 151,000 people.
Notice the title of this
fanpage is attention grabbing and funny.
“IF I GET 1,234,567 FANS, MY DAD SAID HE WILL QUIT
SMOKING”
You can create a similar fanpage for an entirely different niche and people will join
based on the “quirky” name.
However, this user is clearly not taking advantage of the
monetisation techniques and has no affiliate offer on the page. He/she can
easily make a ton of cash from all these fans if they included an affiliate
offer.
Remember
the key to making money from your CPA offers is to find the right offer and
target the right group of people. It would be no good creating a simple boring
fanpage called “how to lose weight” if there is no real “viral fire” to the
fanpage.
You
have to make sure that your Fanpage has a lot of people joining in a short
space of time so that it becomes viral. There has to be a purpose behind the
fanpage.
I
have included a FULL list of ideas (see bonus PDF) on the types of “viral” or
“money making” CPA Fan pages you would want to create.
When it comes to including your CPA URL link here is one of my Fanpages that is making
me money and yet there is still no welcome or landing page!
Here is one of myFanpageswhich
is making me money on complete Autopilot. I have done no promotion or bought
any Facebook invites for this as of now and yet there are over 4000+ people.
Notice my CPA hyper link on
the description page of the fanpage.
I can make even more money from this website by using a welcome landing page.
This fanpage is called “how fast can you type” and
immediately you can easily use CPA offers that require the person to fill out a
simple form. People will be willing to do this!
How To Squeeze
Even More Money From Fanpages!
In this section I am going to talk about how you can make
even more money from your Fanpages.
One
of the best ways to make more money from your Fanpages is to start your own Fanpage serviceand
target Local business owners.
Now
this is very lucrative. With all the techniques you learn from this course you
will be in a position to easily charge thousands of dollars to local business
owners. Let’s face it local business owners are busy people and will not be familiar
with social media. They might have a Facebook account but they will not have
the time to maintain their Fanpage.
Now
in one of the videos in this course I talk about how one of my Fanpages is
constantly getting a surge of fans every single day. This Fanpage happens to be
in the Tattoo niche.
Now how many Tattoo parlours
are there in your area that you can target?
For example, I just typed in the keyword “Tattooists” on Google and I can already see
several businesses I can target that all have a website but no Fanpage linked to their
website.
For
example, here is one website that appears on the first page of Google that does
not have a Fanpage link anywhere on their website.
If you went ahead and contacted this guy over the phone or
email you can talk about the benefits of having his/her own fanpage and the
traffic their site will receive.
However,
I personally would target business owners that are already spending a lot of
money on Google Adwords.
For
example, let’s say you created a unique fanpage on hairstyles and you wanted to
target Local hair salons.
The first thing you can do
is head over to Google and type in “hair salons”.
We can see that there are lots of businesses who are spending money on Google
Adwords to get customers to their shop.
As
you can see all of these Local business owners are spending money on Google
Adwords.
For example, here is one of
the websites spending a lot of money.
http://www.davidpopham.com/index.html
As
you can see this is a pretty basic website. There is no mention of Social
media/fanpage and the owner is simply wasting money.
Now if you want to target a certain category of business then
I would suggest first you create the fanpage, get thousands of fans and then
simply offer it to the Local business owner.
I
would create a brand new Facebook account exclusively just for Local
businesses.
Once your fanpage has thousands of people you can simply pick up the phone and offer
the fanpage and charge $997 easily.
If
you want to create a landing page you can easily outsource this. People on
sites like Odesk and Fiverr can be hired for cheap.
Here
are examples of people already targeting business owners with their own Fanpage
creation service.

With your own fanpage
service you can offer to : -
·       
Create the Fanpage for the business from scratch
·       
Give it a unique name using Facebook.com/USERNAME
·       
Monetise the fanpage using a special landing page
(welcome page)
·       
Add videos + Content to Fanpage
·       
Direct traffic to the fanpage by outsourcing
·       
Use Direct Hubs for the business
·       
Charge a one off or a monthly fee
·       
Charge extra to add Autoresponder to the Fanpage
You will be surprised as to the number of business owners who will be inspired when
you show them the different Fanpages on Facebook with “hungry” fans.
Remember target the right
business category and create the right fanpage!
Flipping
Fanpages for Profits
Did
you know that you can also flip fanpages or fanpage services and make even more
money?
For
example, take a look at this listing from Flippa. http://flippa.com/auctions/99991/Profitable-Service-Selling-Facebook-Fans-Invites-and-Likes%20WEBSITE%20FOR%20FOR%20LOT%20OF%20CASH
As you can see the current
bid so far on this service is $20,000!
We can see the website here
-http://fansandinvites.com/
This
is an example of Facebook fanpage market being very hot and lucrative right
now.
Here
is another Facebook servicehttp://flippa.com/auctions/102397/Unique-Facebook-Service-200Day-No-Reservegettinga lot of attention right now.
These kind of services tend to sell Fanpage invites to people and they are doing really
well as a result of this because there is virtually low competition in this market.
However, you can also buy
and sell Fanpages from existing marketplaces online.
This is very profitable and
people are already cashing in by flipping fanpages.
Take a look at this website
here -http://fanpagecash.org/
These guys offer to buy your
fanpage (if it has over 3000+) friends.
You
can not only purchase fanpages from this site but also make money selling them.
These
guys act like a broker so if you are interested in buying or selling your
fanpage you need to contact them.
They
will also give you a free appraisal for your Fanpage. And remember creating a
fanpage is FREE. All you are paying for is the outsourcing of the landing pages
and the invites.
By the wayJ
Here is a secret …J
Why not start your own Fanpage marketplace? Flippa is a place for buying and selling
websites, Ebay is a place for goods and services, so you might want to start a
marketplace where people can simply buy and sell Facebook fanpages. Just a thought ;)
