hi everyone...

i have a recipe site,
a facebook fan page of 30,000 active fans,
recently trimmed email marketing base of 500 people (these are very active people who have been engaging, I trimmed off about 1,000 people who hasn't engaged with me)

recently i purchased some recipe videos that i've rebranded

I'm thinking how i can better monetize this. at the moment, i'm just driving people from my fan page to the recipe website, and earning maybe $1 from adsense each day.

for the videos... should i...

1) post it on fb and try growing the fan base? but it doesn't earn me money.. i tried posting videos, got a lot of shares, but hardly any link clicks, or page likes.. i've heard people using videos to grow their page with amazing results, anyone knows?

here's a sample of the video https://business.facebook.com/recipe...6069615569879/

2) some people was saying to post the videos on youtube, grow youtube followers.. and drive traffic to my website..? maybe i could embed the video in my website, and drive people from fb to the page with video embedded?

3) start a membership program, maybe a small fee $2 or $5... and they can access the video library.. i'll add more videos over time, and e-books etc.. and then continue to grow this membership..

any advice? thanks!

      With all the free recipes available, I doubt a paid membership would work, especially with generic PLR videos. You might want to try another strategy.

    Remake them for Youtube and Facebook to bring more traffic to your site. Start planning to flip your site after some time. Then do it again with a new site.

    Hi,
    this looks stupid questions but can you share from where you purchased these rebrandable videos, I am also looking such kind of stuff. also facebook really is not a place where you can get thousands of click, I may be wrong, But looks like its a rumor created by software developers who create softwares for facebook automation, and make money fooling people.

    From my experience if you post videos or even images I believe only 1-2 people click your website out of 100. Just put your self on the visitor's place who is just looking at facebook posts..

    Myself too never click on website link, even it image or video is hyperlinked to someone website.

    So facebook Idea is not good at least me..other may have different views.. I have 5 fan pages over 5k fans..

    90% my guess just keep scrolling their timeline newsfeed..and watch video while staying on the facebook..and keep hitting like like like So bad.
