8+ Million Facebook Fans.. Tons of Traffic, but no money !

Hi guys,

Sheer frustration has brought me to making my first post here - I wanted to run a problem by you guys, the experts, and here it is -

I have facebook fan pages totaling more than 8 million people, mainly UK, US and AUS and can send literally thousands of people to almost any website in minutes ...yet am unable to find a method of earning a decent income.

A bit of background ...

For over a year now I have been sending traffic to various websites with adsense advertising on them - I custom built these websites and managed to generate around £20,000 in 10 months through adsense.... then they banned me. They banned me swiftly, and without reason - As in, they provided no reason - and I am unable to find one! - I created a new account, on a new computer, with a new address, new IP, new details, new site, new everything, started sending traffic again, and this account got banned in 6 weeks, again with no provided reason - Adsense is simply not a solution.

So in the 10 months, I have been quite busy - I have built custom Facebook apps, and Wordpress plugins that can convert traffic into fans on facebook pages, and gather email addresses. Details of which I can't really go into - But I was able to legitimately, and legally acquire 30,000 facebook email addresses in just 1 month, whilst growing a fanpage by the same number.

In short, i'm stuck and depressed. I (used to) believe that social marketing is the future and fans/likes/followers the currency, more people spend time on sites like Facebook than anywhere else, yet I can't seem to make any legroom!

What should I do ??

- Sell the fanpages, and get a 9 to 5 ?
- Explore a new avenue within Social marketing? - Please feel free to suggest one.
- Other

I hoping you guys can help, any positivity, support or advice will be gratefully received. I'm even open to partnerships/JV's if you have a really good idea

    You're sitting on a Jack Pot! DON'T GIVE UP ON THESE PAGE.

    Have you ever tried monetizing with CPA offers?

    Head over to Offervault.com and search for CPA offers in your niche. You can easily find an 'Email Submit Only' offer that pays $1-$3 per lead.

    Find a good offer and get your affiliate link and send that offer to your audience.

    Generally, Facebook Pages and CPA offers result in BIG PAYDAYS.

    Feel free to pm me if you need any help on this!

    Why not give a try to CPM networks? Or else create a niche website, consistently send traffic to that website and have Google analytics on it so that you have the traffic data and then sell ads directly on sites like BuySellAds.com and others.

      Given your history, I would imagine those so-called
      "8 million FB fans" are fake, bought, or other such thing.

      They are worthless.

      Doing that with FB is a tipoff as to why your adsense got chopped.

      Legally, is an idiotic term here. Neither FB, google, et. al. are
      international police agencies. But they do have their own rules.
      Rules, not laws. Break them, and they can ban you.

      It always boggles my mind that people put such exhaustive efforts into
      shmoozing.

      Why not work just as hard on something real?

    You could sell a package to promote people's website via your social profiles on Fiverr.

    But ya...email submits and CPL stuff is gonna be a money maker.

    You're probably very close to having a breakthrough. Don't give up!

      Convert traffic into fans on fan pages, hmm sounds a bit dubious to me.

      Facebook fanpages should be done to create a following of people interested in your niche to stay in touch with them, not just a random bunch of untargeted people which seems to be your case.

      Perhaps CPA will work for you, or maybe you'll get banned just as fast as the traffic doesn't seem to convert, if it did Google wouldn't ban your account and you would find it relatively easy to convert them in different ways.
