I have a facebook religious group and it's growing well.
I start it out probably 2 years ago and I don't do anything on the page other than just accept all new member requests, and moderate the posts (so they have to be approved by me).

Since it's religious, it pretty much fuels itself given how much passion and fervor they have. I'm not even of that religion. I just wanted to make a group (because I did some homework/research and found a good market for it).

But it's suddenly taken off in the last 3 months or so. It's now grown to 4,000 members (99% of that came in the last 2-3 months) and I'm getting about 400-500 requests each week. The group is very active, with tons of interaction (I approve posts) and many people comment and like etc.

I predict this group will max out at around 40,000 or so probably within a year (based on my personal research and market study).

I'm just wondering, what are some ways I could make money with a group like this?
I was thinking I could try and contact local religious companies/brands/stores etc that might want to pay me for advertising or putting their ad in my group and pinning it to the top or making it my group cover page? Is that how you usually do it? What do you charge? $50 a month to have their photo on my fb group cover?
 
Start a blog. Write articles. Post links to the group. Put AdSense on the blog.
 
You can whitelable a bunch of things to give away and build a list, re-monetize through email with products?

Adsense is limiting the ads on blogs with only social media traffic. This advice is not good in current scenario.
 
What religion is it? If Christian, then go with POD/shirts. Christian quotes are a very popular niche in POD. Teespring is an easy option here.
I can't say the same about other religions, but, due to common sense, it should work as well.
 
You can ask for donations to run the group.
