Hello guys, first of all sorry for bad English.
Ok, i wrote this post for those who want to start a facebook page. I want to share my story of unsuccessful facebook page, and mistakes I did you should avoid if you want to make money.

So first of all every beginner see big pages on fb and think they are making tons of money but this is illusion. Yeah, still there are ways you can make some money using fb page but i want to share my experience here what I have done and failed, so don't do that.

In 2017 i created facebook page niche motivation and luxury lifestyle, and spent $1200 to reach 300k likes but most of the likes are Indian and Pakistan and only few USA. (I know that was big mistake to spent $1200 for tier 3 likes) but anyway.
After almost 8-9months of hardwork and daily 10-15 posts I reach 400k likes organically.

MONETIZING TIME

Fiverr shoutout

1. I created fiverr gig for shoutouts first month zero orders but after first order i started making 5-15 everyday and made $550 in 2 months. Then for some unknown reason gig removed, but I created new one, but the problem was that, gig wasn't visible. I sent support email and they told me I did something against their terms (not true) and the only way to monetize it is by promoting it outside of the fiverr. But really i prefer to leave that fiverr because it's not easy to find customers this way. So for me fiverr for shoutouts is big NO.

Adsense method

2. The second method I tried is adsense.
I have a website in the same niche, i tried to buy high quality articles for fb traffic and of course for SEO.
I spent for every article of 1000 words $20-30 and when I posted the article on fb page I received only 100-300 visitors for 1 post. And adsense earnings 0.10-0.20$. Ok here I have to say don't expect to make profit even if you have 10 million followers unless you have only tier 1 followers or you write the articles yourself.
I know you can buy article for $2-3 but it's probably could be useless article and don't expect to rank on Google, even if you have backlinks, plus probably your followers couldn't visit the articles in long-term.

Don't try to steal articles from other websites and monetize it with adsense because this is against their terms.

Here I have to say that i start see 50+- organic visitors per day with 20 articles in total.

Selling the page

3. I tried to sell the page for $1500 but after 30+ msg I received no one bought it because of high price for tier 3 likes. However i make discount $1200 is the same price i spent to reach 300k likes, but after almost 10 msg i received again no one bought it. But I think still I can sell it for $500 but it's loss for me, not only money but time too.

This is my experiense, hope it was helpful.

Hope you learned something from this and next time make better decisions.

You should take out what was good from your journey, and try again!

I don't know percentage but talking about numbers is 15-25k people reach normally and for vital it can reach 100k. But today i sold it for $1200.

15k to 25k reach in a 300k likes page is very normal. I think for tier 3 countries, you could do something different like viral quiz type.
However, Thats great! At least you didnt loss :D

It's for 400k likes. But I earned $550 using fiverr shoutout. Plus the page has been sold $1200. My profit is $550 but now know what is work and what not.

I think if you have big page with Tier 1 likes you will always make money but you have to sell things. For example t-shirts, health products, self-improvement etc. But you have to choose the right niche.
