A Roadmap to Success With Facebook Pages
Facebook Pages can be an extension of our online business which directly and indirectly can lead to making us money:
- Directly: You get enough followers and reach to have ads show up on your posts/videos to earn money from.
- Indirectly: You steer people from Facebook to your website which earns money via affiliate marketing and other methods
In my case I built a Facebook Page on Nature and am slowly growing it to reach a point where I can monetize with both options. This strategy is free to get started with and it involves doing the following:
- Making your Facebook Page on a niche you love
- Posting 2 pieces of content daily (ideally videos in reels format but on your Facebook page, not Reels on their own)
- Optimizing the content you post with a short description and hashtags to help with reach
- Consistently doing this daily (doesn't take a long time to go)
See my Facebook page for examples. Long term this strategy leads to (at first) slow growth but down the line larger and larger growth. Once you reach a point where you are having daily/huge reach/engagement with your content (likes, shares, comments), you can start to open the doors to monetizing the page via the above 2 methods.
One of the current goals I have is to get at least 1,000 visitors a day from Facebook to my website. For every 1,000 visitors it gets, I make $30 in ad revenue from the site ($30 X 30 days = $900/month).

Very nice page. Did you make the videos yourself? How do you do that? I find more and more things that I should have considered before getting started and choosing a niche...and now I am trapped.
Most of the content are my own videos. And you're not trapped, you can always shift to a new niche focus or even start a new page.
After all the work I put in...and with 30 posts in drafts ... I have to see this to some degree of completion. I can't make my own videos photos etc so the pool of niches to chose from is small....
Oh I know that people have more than one... Somebody here said she has 53??!! I just don't understand how it is done. I am sure there must be ways to streamline the process but I have not found them. For the amount of time and health that I put into this, I have no results. And I do not mean money. I mean posts that hold together, have all the parts, links etc etc...
Thanks for this great tutorial.
I have a question: I do not understand how you earn 30 dollars when people link to your website. Are you earning that from facebook? How are you earning that from people merely clicking on the link to your website? Thanks
My site earns about $30 in ad revenue for every 1,000 visits it gets, so if I get 1,000 clicks from my FB post to my website, they'll see the ads and I'll earn about $30 from that.
I get it. At what point does Facebook qualify you for ad revenue? And one qualified do you need to apply for it?
Yes, here are details on that: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/321041698514182?id=2520940424820218
Posting twice a day can be a challenge for me, so I'm working on making use of scheduling posts to help with that. I love the photos you share on your FB page, so I'm following along now. Thanks for the great tips!
I'll make a video on that to help you out Connie. I'm sure it's something others have issues with too (myself included).
Yes, and thank you! Family demands come first, so every shortcut helps. I use Canva, so I will ponder a scheduling tutorial as well. I really need to master my creative time management!
Appreciate your sharing. It helps me a lot. One question is which kind of Facebook acct you think is the best to use to get more traffic? Thanks
