Need HELP! Got 150k likes and more

[siliboy]

Hi guys, I registered on BlackHatWorld this year even though I've seen BlackHat long time ago but never had a username nor posted here before. I found out BlackHat when I was Googling and only read a thread for 2 minutes and closed it. It was really hard for me to get used to read on the black background. Now I'm addicted to this forum, an everyday user here and I'm enjoying learning from you guys. I'm a designer for more than 10 years and I'm learning video editing (Adobe After Effects & Premiere Pro) and I started doing really good with videos. For more than 8 years now online, I might say I didn't get a single $1. I spent a lottt of money online and I didn't get anything back. I'm really depressed from this!

WHAT I HAVE?
Hosting & Domains:
I have a hosting and more than 8 domains for more than 7 years.
3 domains are for Stock photography niche
5 others are general that I bought when I was younger and very enthusiastic.

FACEBOOK: (Spent more than $2000 on FacebookAds to grow these pages)
- I have 2 Facebook Pages for Art / Fine Art /
one is more than 92k likes (Audience: Worldwide)
the other is: 42k likes (Audience: Brazil,Venezuela,Mexico etc.)
- I also have another Facebook Page for Football Humor (soccer)
52k likes (Audience: Worldwide)

INSTAGRAM: (I'm using a bot now to grow them - Inspired from BHW journeys)
- I have an IG account for Wedding with 21k followers
- I have two IG accounts for Art same as facebook accounts almost 12k followers together
- I have two T-shirt accounts - one is 5k followers and the other 4k followers

I've read a lot in your forum these months and I started buying Youtube accounts and also bought an old Reddit account and opened two CPA accounts (even though I don't have a clue how to get money from them)
- I have now 10 Youtube accounts (none of them is monetized because I still haven't passed the threshold of Subscribers and Watch Time)
- I have now 5 new Reddit accounts and 1 Old one

I also spent a lot of money on Fiverr trying to build my websites and my network but it was just a waste until now.
I tried Google Ads for 2 domains and I wasn't that good on SEO and not so good on writing articles and I didn't get shit. I also tried Instant Articles for Facebook, but I could only get 2 cents per day and after some months they rejected my Instant Articles. I also designed some niche T-shirts for motorbikes, art, animals with Facebook Ads on Redbubble, Teepublic but didn't get any sale.
Sorry for making you read all this crap but I really felt that I have to share my depressing story with you and maybe someone can help me find a way out. I have a Google Adsense account and also have Paypal account. All these years of being enthusiastic and working daily online and not winning a single $1 got me tired and is making me feel so retarded, especially when I read journeys here.

If you have any idea what can I do with these to monetize them, please try to share your knowledge with me! I would really appreciate your help.
(Hope I posted this thread in the right place)

I think that you have to add advertisements to your platforms in order to start making money. As you already have a good amount of subscribers it will work. Try to contact someone from the same niches you promote and ask them for help. Maybe they will also make an advertisement for you.

 

[Vishal Sanjay]

I think this will only get harder since organic reach for Facebook Pages continues to drop, maybe Instant Articles was the best option for you.

 

[sukhi]

if you really have good accounts with more subscribers. you will choose the best business then you can promote their products. this will also help to earn money.

What particular advertisements? I tried to contact many other people but nothing helped. I need something real that works.

I had Instant Articles and the most I could get was 2 cents per day. Now I don't have them and should re-apply. But I don't think it's going to be a great solution for me.

All my pages are real accounts. I paid Facebook Ads to grow them, and there are many followers that are daily active on my pages/accounts. Where can I find those "best business that I can promote"?

Thank you for your help guys, but I really need something concrete that can get monetized, not just general answers that lead me to a great depression. (Sorry for sounding so negative)

You can make a blog related to your fb page and share your post link on it. Put ads like google adsense in your blog and earn $.

If you PM me I can try and see what your doing wrong. From the information you provided its hard to see exactly what the problems are. You may want to stick with one thing and get good at that first before moving on to other ideas.

Facebook likes don't always translate into $ or engagement, it all depends on the quality of the likes and if they are from real accounts.
Your targeting the wrong countries if you want to make money. (there's more to it than that but I'm not going to go into more detail about that)
IG is the same, bot accounts wont make you money, the most they can do is help to attract real people but if the person doing the botting hasn't a clue then it wont help you.
You mentioned you spent 2k on fb ads to grow the pages without seeing a single $1 in return. In my opinion that was your first mistake, always try to test your market with maybe 1-200$ on ads and see if it works before putting in more money.

Also, in my opinion fiverr is a waste of time for generating traffic. 99% of the services wont help you and most people on there are just trying to make a quick buck and could care less about actual quality. As the old saying goes "you get what you pay for" in this case is true.

I can help you but you will need to change your entire view on this,

HMU.

I tried that, and mentioned that too. I had 2 domains with GoogleAds but didn't have a lot of traffic and I'm not good with SEO, so I lost 2 GoogleAds accounts. (And nowadays I guess it's not easy to monetize with Google Ads, unless you have a great blog with organic traffic from G and powerful articles)

I didn't spend all 2000$ in a day. I tested many ways of promotion and with that money I got almost 200k likes total. All of them are real accounts and I have organic reach now (but not as I was expecting because Facebook killed the reach lately). I'm willing to change my view on this and I'm glad you're trying to help, so I'll PM you now.

It's only up to you where to advertise and who to connect as no one except of you knows your niche better. Contact some similar bloggers, pages, etc. You just have to start.

 

[Prensty]

You've spent so much time and money for your promotion and still got nothing? Maybe the things you promote are not the best ones? What's your niche?

 

[TheStrongest]

This is the first thing I do before starting or investing in any business..

"I ASK MYSELF HOW DO I MAKE MONEY FROM THAT BUSINESS"

It has helped me a lot.. from your post you didn't have any clear monetization strategy. You believed that once you do what you've done the money would start rolling.. obviously because of what you read online concerning how easy it is to make money.. I'm sorry you went through all these bro..
.
Just take your time to think an analyse before you Act/make next move

I contacted many people, some replied just general stuff and the other didn't reply at all.

I think you haven't read everything I said. You have the niches up there. I didn't promote any service, with those money I just grew my pages.

Of course I thought that before I even started my investments. I thought Google Ads & Instant Articles are worth it. If I make 100k likes on FB I thought I should be making money. But when I got them, things changed. I didn't just invest without knowing what I'm going to do later on. A friend of mine has more than 5 pages on Facebook on Football niche and he wins more than 1k monthly. Another friend who has pages with millions he earns more than that. So based on them I started investing my own pages but I can't monetize for shit.

PM.. I'll like to see the pages, maybe I could advice you on what to do..

I think you haven't read everything I said. You have the niches up there. I didn't promote any service, with those money I just grew my pages.

And when you promote something connected to your niche you can gain more visitors and earn some money.

 

[siliboy]

PM.. I'll like to see the pages, maybe I could advice you on what to do..

I will PM you now, but hope you won't try to sell something privately because there are many people who write to me privately and in the end they ask for money for their services and not help anything. Hope you can help me.

And when you promote something connected to your niche you can gain more visitors and earn some money.

My niche is "art" what exactly are you talking about! I've read and tried many stuff for years now and still cannot find a way. Do you have anything concrete that I can connect? Because saying "you should promote something and earn money" it really doesn't help.

If someone really helps me, I'll also reward them or we can collaborate.

 

[Thermometer]

You can create blog for your facebook page and you can share it for all. The next thing you can do is create google adsense ads and apply it on your page, by doing this you can earn more money.

If it's connected to art you can cooperate with some art shops that sell some staff for painting and other kind of arts and promote together. Also you can try to connect some artists. There are many ways out.

• I'm also looking for a good way

 

[Couldee]

I contacted many people, some replied just general stuff and the other didn't reply at all.

It's a hard work to find those who will reply you and agree to cooperate with you.
They receive lots of emails and messages from people like you. So your message should be created in such way to catch the attention.
Good luck!

You can probably sell the IG and FB pages if they have good engagement rates?

Direct messaging and pm'ing people isn't the best strategy as it's spammy and people. hate. spam.

Are you still a designer? From the sounds of your post, it sounds like you are, to be blunt, almost wasting time building these audiences that don't have anything to do with being a designer and selling your work, unless of course your wedding Instagram accounts and the accounts you're building have your designs as content? Or are you pivoting and you want to focus on building accounts and monetizing them instead of designing?

You need to put some spend behind your FB posts as well, and have very specific targeting (but not too specific that FB flags it as too specific lol).

You also want there to be a clear CTA for almost every post. With audiences that large, you're leaving money on the table if you don't convert them or make them take a specific action.
