How to Monetize a Facebook Fan Page

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit
According to recent research an average person spends 2-4 hours per day on social media websites. It is the same amount of time that people used to spend watching TV. Now almost everyone and his dog switched to social media websites, primarily to Facebook. Having more than 800 million users it is considered to be the world's largest social network. No wonder that many companies are thinking about developing their marketing campaigns here. The stimulus for this was introduction of Fan Pages or so-called Public Profiles that allowed anyone to create their own web presence for their company or services and gather a crowd of interested admirers or "Fans" around their brand. You don't need to establish a website with subscription or RSS feed to create a list of leads. Everything is set up for you. Building a network of potential customers has never been so easy.

Steps

1. Create a Fan Page if you haven't done it yet.
2. Name it after a topic of your videos or if you haven't decided, give it some generic name like "Funny Youtube Videos". Just make sure it grabs attention.
3. Choose a logo.
4. Publish links to your YouTube hosted videos.
5. Suggest your Fan Page to friends. Some of you have several hundreds or even thousands friends. They are going to be your first Fans!
   • The great thing about Fan Pages is that your fans don't have to visit your Page every day to check for new videos. They will be notified every time they log in into their Facebook account.
   • If they like what you are delivering they will suggest your Page to their friends and friends of their friends and so on. True viral marketing.
6. Make sure you deliver quality content and quantity of your Fans will snowball. If you spam them - they will leave you.
7. Find the ways to deliver interesting and entertaining videos. Try finding something that is of interest to you. The best solution is to create your own videos. Think of what you are good at, what your hobby is? Traveling, sports, art, tricks. Anyone is an expert in their own niche. You can shoot a "How to play a {your favorite musical instrument}" video series, martial arts or bodybuilding trainings, cooking lessons, etc. There are countless options.
8. Get a screen capture program (if you can't shoot your own videos). Use this for making software training videos.
9. Don't forget to write a short but informative description each time you publish a video on Facebook. That's how your video will be discovered through Facebook search option.
10. Find out what topics interest people the most and make your videos. In your description include main keywords you want your video to rank for in Facebook search.
