There's MILLIONS of Dollars in the Meme Business (Like the NFL)

Memes aren’t just jokes anymore . They are a big post. So is any form of content creation that is engaging. Pages built entirely around memes are generating massive audiences and signifcant income.

Take the Facebook page MEMES of the NFL as an example.

They have over 5 million followers and post daily parody memes about the NFL. A page with that kind of audience can easily earn $20,000–$100,000 per month from Facebook’s ad revenue program, sponsored brand posts, merchandise, and traffic sent to their website.
