Learnt a lot from here, so my first share!
A while ago I saw a post on hiding content to non fans on your Wordpress blog using a plugin from sociable.es
however myself and most of the people on the thread it seemed couldn't get it to work properly using
I tried for days to get it work following the instructions on the thread but had no luck, until I tried something different.
The problem I think is that <fb:visible-to-connection> doesn't work out of facebook (I might be wrong), so to make it work I needed to change the requirements.
Still using the plugin from esociable.es I made it so the posts would only be visible to those were logged in by using the Facebook.
Steps:
1. Install Plugin from sociable.es
2. Set up plugin and application
3. Add Facebook Connect Widget to Sidebar
4. Install "PHP Exec" plugin (allows php code within the post)
5. On posts you want to hide use the following code:
Now your post is protected and only users who give permission to your application to log in can see the content and you can set the permissions such as e-mails, friends lists, publish to wall etc...
If you want you can also block all posts with the same code just edit the singlepost.php in your template.
I hope this helps some of you out there. I wasn't able to make bank out of this technique as I suck at FB marketing so if this helps anyone and they fancy helping me out please PM me.

What non logged in users see
eg. To access this download, you must be <a href="javascript:FB.login(login_facebook);">logged in with Facebook (click here)</a>.
