FAN PAGE MONETIZATION

Last time we talked about how to create a profitable fan page and we also deliberate on search engine optimization for fan page. 

Some top 15 article directories rated by their Alexa Rating:

      URL ----------- Alexa Rating - Google Page rank

articlesbase.com ------- 126 ------------- 6

ezinearticles.com -------- 354 ------------- 6

suite101.com ------------ 659 ------------- 7

articlesnatch.com -------------- 759 ------------- 6

buzzle.com ----- 1,467 ------------- 5

amazines.com------------4,759---------------3

articlecity.com----------5,453---------------5

artlcierich.com----------5,827---------------3

isnare.com---------------5,913---------------6 

Some of the article directories are "no follow" but that doesn't matter because, if your articles are well written, they will be picked up by other publishers and published on their blogs, in their newsletters, on their websites, etc., giving your article and link a lot of exposure.

Those are just some of the ways you can optimize your Facebook Fan Page.  Just remember - use your keywords as much as possible and update often to keep your Fan Page "new and interesting", and the search engines will love you!

How to get more likes to your fan page

Of course; you know, not like, no followers and no money! You can’t monetize your fan page without having reasonable amount of fan page likes, at least up to 500 to 1000 likes.

1. Make you invite all your friends.
2. Use your fan page Url as signature in forums and your email addresses.
3. Take your fan page as a business by advertising it on facebook.
4. Have as much friends as you can and they should be people with like minded interest.

Okay! Now; you’ve created your fan page and you have at least 500 to 1000 likes on your fan page.

MONETIZING YOUR FACEBOOK FAN PAGES

The easiest ways to make money with your Fan Pages is to find a product you want to promote on one of the marketplaces, such as Amazon, Clickbank and other affiliate platform.  Build your niche Fan Page around the product.  Wait! you don't have to  jump to do this!  Make sure your Fan Page is up and running before you start trying to "sell" to your Fans. 

One of the good ways to go is to first offer some free content that is of high quality - maybe a mini-course related to the niche.  More people opt-in to a mini-course than to any other kind of free offer.  Just make sure it is high quality and relevant to your community.

After your Fan Page has become trusted and popular, you can use a tab to send your Fans directly to an affiliate sales page.  It's just like anything else.  Once you’ve be able to gain your Fans trust and when they trust you, they will also believe in what ever you recommend to them, they are more accepting of the quality products you recommend to them that are relevant to their needs.  It's a no brainer!

Remember also to put your affiliate link, where appropriate, into any eBook, mini-course, newsletter, etc. that you give away to your Fans for free.

Another option is to build your list with your Fan Page.  If you create a landing page using "Static FBML" (Face Book Markup Language), which is one of the available Applications, you can offer anyone who comes to your Fan Page the chance to sign up for your free mini-course or whatever, for free, without selling anything. 

Set up your autoresponder with aweber.com or getresponse.com, add the application "Static FBML" to your Facebook Fan Page, and follow the simple directions.

You can also make money with your Fan Page with your product and with CPA offers.  Studies have shown that when people read about your offers on your Fan Page and then easily refer your Fan Page to their friends, their friends are more likely to buy whatever you are offering based on their friends' recommendation.

Instantarticles: Instantarticles is a new way of bring your blog content to your facebook fan page with the help of Rss feed application. Your fans don’t have to leave the fan page to your site, they will see all the published articles right there on your fan page. After you’re done with setting up instantarticles on your  fan page, you will now submit it to facebook and they will approve and start showing ads right on your page.  There is so much to learn from instantarticles monetization, do some research on youtube on how ways to monetize your fan page for more clue.

BUILDING A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR FACEBOOK FANS

First; let’s look at some interesting facts:

*Note****** Statistics from Facebook press office!

• More than 25 billion pieces of content (web links, news stories, blog posts, notes, photo albums, etc.) are shared each month.
• The average Facebook user has 130 friends.
• Over 300,000 users helped translate the site through the translations application.
• More than 150 million people engage with Facebook on external websites every month.
• Two-thirds of comScore’s U.S. Top 100 websites and half of comScore’s Global Top 100 websites have integrated with Facebook.
• There are more than 100 million active users currently accessing Facebook through their mobile devices.
• People who access Facebook via mobile are twice as active as non-mobile users (think about that when designing your Facebook page).
• The average Facebook user is connected to 60 pages, groups and events.
• People spend over 500 billion minutes per month on Facebook.
• There are more than 1 million entrepreneurs and developers from 180 countries on Facebook."*

Next important thing you need to be doing continuously is driving traffic to your fan page.

#Traffic

You can use the Facebook Fan Page application called Fan Appz to set up Top 5 Lists, Polls, and Quizzes and there is also a Discussion feature application you can use to ask a question to get a discussion going. 

You can then "promote" these items on your blog or website, or on Twitter to get more people involved in the discussion or whatever you have chosen. 

Go to Yahoo, for example, and look at their "Trending Now" list and find something interesting to talk about.  On today's "Trending Now" list, Number 1 is "Lynda Carter."  You could also make something like this: a Top 5 list on where are the best (worst?) places to find bed bugs, or take a poll on people's experiences with bed bugs, or write a quiz on what to do if you are confronted with bed bugs (sprinkle a few drops of Lavender Essential Oil on the bed and they will vacate!), or just start a Discussion about bed bugs in general. 

Then, put a comment on your blog and send out tweets telling people about your Top5 List!  Many Facebook users check out the Top 5 lists each day and if yours are unique and interesting, you should be able to generate a lot of traffic from them.

Your Fans will respond and their friends will see their responses and perhaps get involved, maybe even becoming a fan of your page. 

Keep your Fan Page active and interesting.  Give people something to look forward to frequently.

Another thing you can do is add a "Welcome" page for the first time someone visits your page.  You can set it up however you want to welcome them, point out features of your Page, explain your niche and what you are trying to accomplish, and telling them how glad you are that they dropped by.  You can set it up so that the next time they visit your Fan Page, the Welcome Page doesn't appear.

If you know of another POPULAR marketer who is in the same niche as you, you can search their profile and "friend" their friends.  Most people will "friend" you back.  When they do, send them a message thanking them and inviting them to visit your Fan Page. 

If your Fan Page is getting a decent amount of traffic, you could also do a feature on that POPULAR Marketer, let the marketer know you featured them on your Fan Page, and they will usually talk about it on their blog and/or Fan Page, sending their fans and friends to your Fan Page.  Just remember to be sincere.

Don't forget to put a Facebook Fan Page BADGE on your blog.  People can just click on it and go right to your Fan Page.  This is a great way to let them know you have a Fan Page on the same topic as your blog.

Next time we’ll talk about driving traffic from your fan page to your blog.
