Make Money With Facebook Pages - Part 00

Social
1

Following what Lizzy posted here, Facebook pages- building for monetization , I’m gearing up to start experimenting with driving traffic to my sites thought FB pages in 2026, as well as seeing what I can make with FB’s content monetization program.

This post is a little scattered, so bear with me as I try to document what I’m doing over the next couple of months/year.

Facebook recently has lowered the bar for pages to join their monetization program. Think of it like Youtube, where when you watch a video, you see an ad or two, and the creator of the video (if they’re monetizing their YT channel with ads) makes a few pennies.

Facebook has something similar - someone watches a real or sticks around long enough on your FB page, then FB will show them more ads. And you collect a certain percentage of that.

The reason this has become an interest to me is because I actually was approved for monetization for one of my pages, and I haven’t even posted anything in nearly a year.

So far, I’ve made a little over $5.

Whoohoo! :tada:

Anyways, I’m more just using this post right now to compile a bunch of links to what I’ve found, since, well, I have them all opened in my tabs, and need to clear them all up, lol.

Free info regarding growing a FB page:

Hasib Alic is the cofounder of Strevio, a “tool for bloggers and media publishers looking to drive more traffic from their Facebook Pages to their Websites.” Back in 2023-2024, he documented how he grew his FB page from $0 to ~$300K revenue in just 15 months. He wasn’t doing anything with content monetization, as it as all primarily to send traffic back to his site (and make money with running display ads on his site).

Challenge - Challenge Archives - Strevio
X account - https://x.com/HasibStrevio (I think he documents a little more there)

Publisher In A Box, has a business where they manage large FB pages for companies, and have written extensively on growing FB accounts. Lizzy actually recommended to me to join their newsletter, which I did, and recommend anyone else to if you haven’t yet.

Andy from HikeYourLikes.com has a lot of excellent and free information about FB pages and monetization. He has a free PDF that is pretty solid in getting someone started too.

Paid Courses/Products About Growing, Monetizing And/Or Sending Traffic From A Facebook Page To Your Site

I haven’t taken any of the below courses, but if I have the money, I plan to go through all of them over the next couple of weeks to see what I can learn to grow my page(s).

Introverted Entrepreneur has a solid course, according to the reviews, that teaches you how to get likes/followers for very, very cheap (like 1 cent per follower).

While his Facebook course is pretty expensive, you can get his all access pass (to all of his products) at a lower cost for about a month - All Access Pass - I’ll probably be starting with this course to see what he has to offer.

Andy from Hike Your Likes offers two courses, though his are pretty expensive:

Stupid Simple SEO, a paid community run by Mike, has a lot of courses about blogging, but some of it is Mike’s in-depth training on getting traffic from Facebook. He runs his membership semi annually, so if you want to join it, you have to get on his email list and what for him to open his membership doors.

There are obviously a lot of other people and sites that have done stuff with Facebook pages, but these are just a few that I’ve been compiling in my tabs. And now that I can delete them all… Oh, one more thing to talk about:

Facebook Page Schedulers To Use:

I’ve already mentioned a few of these, but just to quickly jot them down:

Hasib Alic recommends Strevio.com
Andy from hikeyourlikes recommends PostPlanner.com
@ohnoo_not_her (Lizzy) uses Metricool.com
I think Introverted Entreprenuer uses n8n.io (need to confirm this).
Niche Site Lady built her own tool and so recommends https://niche.sh/

Competitor Analysis

Most of the above tools come with some form of competitor analysis, but if they don’t, most people use Apify to find what is doing well for the competitors - 📝 Facebook Posts Scraper · Apify

And that’s about it for links. Cleared up my tabs pretty nicely. I can see all the tabs I have open now and don’t have to scroll one way or the other, hehe.

That’s it for this round up - if I find anything else or if anyone wants me to add to add anything drop it below, and I’ll update this as I start working through everything.

Here’s to 2026 - a year of experiments and fun!

Not so fond of niche site lady, however. She sold stuff that I bought some time ago with her affiliate link, and it was ridiculously expensive for what I got. And her Facebook thing looks very expensive as well for what it does, but I haven’t tried that one. Her main income will always be her cruise travel site, and she is not a good reference for growing a new Facebook page, in my opinion. She tried with her own Vegan niche page, and it is obvious to me that it is not working for that page. However, her Facebook page on cruises is pretty good. But I’m not sure how far she also has assistants for it and if she could make it successful with her own tool, doubt that.
Also, her basic course on starting with Facebook, is very cheap, but it shows lol. I mean, all those you can easily find yourself, it is very, very basic.
She kind of dissapeared with her newsletters too, so if it was still going well for her and her vegan experiment-website and page, we would have known by now lol!

And I payed a compagny to write blog posts for me for my africa site, while thinking they would have been written by a human, they were so bad and clearly written with AI. And it took them a VERY long time to provide them for me! AND to top it of, they used pictures of animals that weren’t even the right ones on my article, while they said they would ‘investigate’ my niche. Waisted money there! As you can see, not recommending niche site lady lol

One of the things I have just read, from Hasib Alic is interesting.

“The start of the new year isn’t good just for new resolutions, but because Facebook ads are at least 2x cheaper than the average price throughout the year. Use this opportunity and time to start and scale your Facebook page.”

So, that’s worth considering if you are planning to join Andy in his challenge!

(I have a plan starting to form, involving reviving an old website, Pinterest, and Facebook, lol.)

Yeah, I don’t personally follow her, but she was mentioned enough times in various places I hopped, so I decided to add her as a reference. But, as I personally know, if I or someone else stops talking about a case study, that usually means that it didn’t go well, hahaha.

This is a very good write up (well the first link - the second one is just someone who’s upset, lol). I’d disagree with a few points, but mainly I think that if you are running niche sites, you wantto go from niche → authority as you progress. Becoming an authority is where the real money is, and if Niche Site lady is the lady he’s claiming she is, well then good for her.

But thanks for this - I’ll keep a closer eye on her and what she offers since, I too thought her products were on the more expensive side.

Yeah, and the opposite can be said too - starting a challenge in late Nov / early Dec is horrible, due to everyone trying to promote for the holidays, lol. Hasib in his challenge was getting around 3-5 cents per like, but hopefully I can get it slightly cheaper than that, but we’ll have to see.

Not sure how risky this might be but I still have quite a bit of credit at Hypewave and they sell FB interactions. Happy to resell at cost to any of you who want to try it as I’m unlikely to use the credit tbh! Cost per 1000 below:

Thanks! Normally I would take you up on this offer, but everyone I’ve read has said to try to go for organic stuff completely, since FB has also been known to suddenly de-monetize / spambox your page if they think you are doing something sketchy.

Then again, I do have a FB group I might want to throw some members at. This is getting off tract of what this main post is about (lol), but do you know how they drip these follows/likes/joins?

I don’t. When I ordered some Reddit likes and joins they arrived very quickly. I only ordered, like 100 or something (you can order much less than 1000) but it was basically instant.

Sub Reddit banned … lol.

Subsequently, I have ordered just 5 Reddit likes here and there … that does seem to fly under the radar.

I realise I’m going way off topic even more talking about Reddit here … lol

I’d imagine similar concerns apply though.

I think my general advice with faking engagement would be to avoid targeting your main ‘money page’ … I really have no idea how FB works and I don’t know if it’s realistic to set up tier 1 entities signalling back to your main money page, but I think that’s more how you would look at this type of strategy.

ie: fake engagement to a buffer entity which feeds signals back to your money page!

Or … just focus on organic :wink:
