This makes me an extra $100 a day

How can this possibly be against the TOS? For all FB know, there is only one party involved (the page owner)

I would think it would be better to have your own site with some advertisements and such if you have the time while building an income. If you have the time for this however, it might be in your best interest to just keep posting your own blog updates. As far as how many likes you need, this is the first time I've every tried anything like this and before I had this idea I already had 80k plus fans. My guess is popular blog owners will have a good idea what your page posts are worth. For example, if you have 3k fans it may not even be worth there time. Also if you have 100k fans, but they are all from Asia, it may not be worth anything to them either. As I said I've only been doing this for 3 weeks I'm no expert

Yes you are 100% right the hard part is getting the fans. And they have to be REAL and TARGETED fans. Otherwise even if you don't do as I did and give them a free example post, you may get paid for one update, then they will see it's not worth their time and and you've wasted your time. As far as getting fans, there are guys out there that are actually great at it, and probably some legit WSO's on the subject I'm not sure. I try to target uk, usa, canada, austraia, etc. Places where most websites want their traffic to be from. This costs more. I normally get clicks on an average of 7-10 cents a fan. 80k fans cost me a total of about $5000 to get. If I am able to continue what I'm doing for another 5 weeks or so I will be in profit. I'm not saying go spend $5000 on fans either :p. The great thing about this though is I get unpaid fans all the time because "so and so likes" whatever page will show up in people who like the pages newsfeed. When a friend likes a page you are more than likely going to trust it too.

Absolutely that is key, and the only way I know how to do it legit is with paid advertisements. Most don't have that kind of budget. Especially for something that may or may not work in the end. But like I said, those who are good at building pages, but struggle with monetizing because they don't know how, or they are losing fans by throwing affiliate links at them all day can make use of this.

I don't really see how. I'm not even selling anything to my audience. They want MMA updates and I give it to them. This a partnership, not an ad saying anyone who has $5 bucks can spam my facebook. Really if you think about it, I'm basically their social media manager and getting paid for it. Their own fan page only has 14k likes.

Yea I thought about that too. But if you think about it, they are paying their staff writer money to write the article. A post on my page is worth more than the actual content being written, you can write a million articles, but if no one sees them they are useless. As far as thinking about scaling, I've only been doing it for a few weeks and I want to see what kind of roadblocks I might hit. Maybe I will scale later. However, I will probably go into some financial niches where the blogs are making more from advertisements. Then you could probably make a lot more. I only chose MMA because I had originally planned on starting my own blog for this and wanted something I would enjoy writing about.

Kind of what I thought, but who knows. Most sites that you can write freelance for ask you to post your articles on your social media sites what's the difference other then some one else does the writing. Who knows.

1.) So far I've spent a little under $6000. This includes the $20 a day I've been spending over the last few weeks. I think a big seller was the fact that I am continuing to grow the page without charging more. I may not try and renegotiate any time soon in case this is the main reason they are on board. Don't want to kill a good thing. I will be profitable in 4-5 weeks as long as nothing changes. If it continues, only 1/6 of what I make goes back into advertising so if this continues for another year I will be up over $30,000

2.) You are exactly right, I don't supply the content. If I were to do this I would just make my own blog. I don't have the time.

3.) News update articles. They make money through the advertisements on their pages. For example, if Anderson Silva was injured in training camp for an upcoming fight, they would send me the link of the written article and I put it on my page.

4.) They email me the post they want on my page, I copy it, go to my home page, click paste in my status, click post. Facebook automatically does the rest for you. It shows the headline, the into to the article, and has a pic if their is one on the article page. Like I said less then 5 minutes out of my day goes to this

Yea I see fan pages with hundreds of thousands of likes and you can tell they aren't even marketing anything, so people do know how to do it for free. I can't help in that department.

I don't see anything in their terms that is against what I'm doing. Even if it was there is no way of Facebook finding out. I get paid through paypal and I post MMA news updates on a MMA update fanpage. If something is wrong with this I would like to know that too.

Sounds like a good idea...but where are you suppose to get thousands of likes from?

Great idea.. How much did you pay per USA fans? 6k seems alot for only 80,000 fans
