Interesting area for discussion and one which I am not 100% sure about. ALL of the pages seem to steal from each other. If one page posts something that generates likes/shares then the rest soon post it up too. Every now and then a video will be removed by Facebook on copyright infringements but never had a picture removed.

I have seen Paddy Power steal my pictures before and post them up so I am not too sure what the laws are for that. I do know that Facebook own all of the pages so it could be argued that if someone posts a picture on Facebook it is fair game for all. That differs from videos which can be stolen from Youtube for instance....

To answer your question. Most of the pictures are taken from somewhere else

How do you convert Facebook page likes to google ad money income? You seemed to imply that was your plan with the lad page. But you can't place ads for revenue on a fb page, so you'd have to convert them to a website audience, no?

I don't know why slow habit is being/feels entitled to be so attacking about what has value. Seriously, chill out man.

Apologies. I think I may have poorly explained my plans for that page.

I worked on a mini project with someone who owns one of the bigger "Lad" style pages with 1 million + Likes. He informed me that he is now making 50k€ a month from his websites that he had set up on the back of his pages.

My plan was to mimic that and pay someone to set up a site for the page once it hits a certain amount of likes.

How are you going to take your facebook page likes to make money from Google Ads? What is the model? link back to your website with adsense + content?

you've inspired me since im a profitable sports bettor and you make more than me, guess i should start a tips page

Can you elaborate where your material comes from to make posts on these various Facebook pages (lad for example)? I assume you have an efficient way of sourcing material so that it doesn't take up 16 hours a day of work anymore.

also re: social stuff i have the same problems but would say do as many activities as possible: my week looks like gym x3, sunday cycling club, midweek cinema/driving range, lunch with mates, getting out to place bets on good weather days, weekend drinks, reading/documentaries etc

beats working in a ****ty office any day. if you want something structured work for a charity/something interesting and fulfilling

Well does read like a build up to a pitch, e.g. started at X gave up job two months later, make 6 figures with no expenses. Now he cant give any detail on how he makes money from the LAD page merely that his friend does.

Its web affiliate marketing, the world of bull****, I am not saying he is, but the moment someone says I make X with no real web skills and no expenses in just 20 mins a day, the alarm has to go off, because this is exactly how the infinite number of stay at home mother makes $903493784 in her spare time scams are pitched.

Hard scepticism is the only rational approach to his posts.

Your post reads like it is written from someone who has no idea what they are talking about. As previously said, I have not made any money from the Lad page, Yet. And it will be quite simple to make money from it. Set up a website and drive traffic to the website from the page.

Here is a screen shot of my bet365 affiliate account taken just now.

Also, I have not asked for anything from anyone. I have had several messages on this site since yesterday offering me money for advice. I have replied declining as I only want to work on commission where I earn what I deserve to earn in any future business ideas.

You have been asked directly how you will make money from the lad page, so far nothing beyond its simple and my friend did it.

Look, relax, if you are genuine it will come out, but its completely fair to point out that your narrative so far is 100% inline with the narrative offered by my gran made 1 Mil from google with no skills and no expenses in her spare time affiliate marketing scams that the interwebs is infested with. Also all these scams show an image of payment history like yours so well done at keeping it at 100%.

Whilst you have not made any direct play itt, it seemed like you might be positioning for one. Its the internet, Im sceptical, my observations about your narrative are totally fair. If you are genuine then you have nothing to worry about.

Exactly what you just said. At the moment I do not do this a lot but a simple link to the website in the form of a post is all that is required.

As previously mentioned. I relied on a friend to do my main website and he has basically abandoned it so am just trying to pluck up the courage to tell him I am taking it off him so I can get a company to do it for me

That is actually not true. I very clearly said I will grow it to 250k Likes + and then make money from Google ads in the same way as someone (Who is not my friend) currently does.

Good Luck! Remember, you must build the page before you can start making money from it. IMO that is the #1 Pit fall that 1000s of people are falling into every day

There are many websites I take them from. I am only posting 3 or 4 times a day so it doesn't take too long. There are a tonne of pages constantly taking pictures and videos from each other so the same pics/vids seem to just go around the different pages. I am only focusing on building the page. I do not care that a lot of the content is not original

I like this idea and think I'll have to do something similar. I have been pretty much killing time every day waiting for the next holiday! Off to England next week and will be going back to Vegas in 3 months. I am sure i'll fit in another trip in between.

Hopefully this thread can give me back some of the motivation I seem to have lost!

OFA - is this something someone could do successfully part-time? I currently work full-time, but am looking for something to do after work.

Cool thread, will be following

Yes sir!

I was 23 when I set up my first Facebook page. About to start my final year of college. I also worked part time in a phone shop to pay my way through college (I do not have any family to rely on unfortunately) so I was juggling the job and college. I only quit my job once I started earning more from the page! I enjoyed the job but wanted to concentrate on my final year exams which I thought was a +EV decision!

I just spent several hours each night on the pages and looked at it as a bit of fun originally. I enjoyed a sports bet so even if I made no money I knew it would be a good laugh anyway!

As I said previously, the #1 pitfall IMO is that people try to make money before they have built a big enough audience so concentrate on building a big audience first!

Good luck

Great read, very interesting.

I only recently noticed all the Betting pages on FB, but it seems there are quite a few with a lot of followers - and they're all posting affiliate links etc, so there certainly is a lot of money being made!

I do AM via FB pages and manage some clients' pages as well. OP's posts make me roll my eyes. It seem like a warmup to one of those $300 webinar pitches.

The Lad page is likely virtually worthless, given its demographic.

There is so much nonsense, or at the best, banality, in the posts that I wouldn't know where to start dissecting his posts.

Look at this line from him:

That's nonsense. Even if it is a pitfall, which it is definitely not - I would qualify fans right away with offers so I could find right away if the page is worth building - anyways, even if it is a pitfall, it's nowhere near #1. And what's a "big audience?" I had a page that I started monetizing at 3k fans and was making decent-ish money even at that point.

If someone works day in, day out making money via FB pages, as OP claims, they're going to talk a lot more technical (reach, the recent algo change's effects on AM, ad spend, CTRs and conversion via aff links in posts, using ads to send people to external sites versus building a page to send people to sites, and so on). I mean, I started to write a post for this thread, and it was littered with numbers without any deliberate intent on my part to make the post about numbers. If you do AM via pages, and have a good amount of experience in it, then the numbers will naturally appear in the posts.

I visit IM/AM forums each day, where there are invariably people trying to sell noobs on some IM product. Plus I'm bombarded with ads from people selling the dream of "work at home for 30 minutes a day and make $50k a month." The OP's posts reek of that. I have nothing against him personally. But I will say Buyer Beware, especially since no one in the increasingly saturated IM/AM field on FB would want more competition.

I mean, dude, wtf are you talking about? Not that I advocate share for share, but even if a page does it, they are not giving their likes away. Their likes don't go away.

As for the unlikes from spam, show some evidence. Unlikes are so low it's ridiculous to worry about them unless you are doing some serious out of this world spam, which S4S wouldn't be anyway. Hell, a lot of people don't even know how to unlike a page.

IF I have 1000 likes on my page which I can try and get sign ups from and I introduce them to a different page then there is now a good chance they will click on someone elses link dont you think?

What are your conversion rates (clicks to depositor rate)?

Not all of the affiliates I use give me this info but based on the info I do have for one of the companies:

In just over 1 year: 112,765 Clicks. 3,147 Sign ups, 2,240 Depositers

So a conversion rate of 1 in 35 for sign ups and 1 in 50 for a depositors

Although I think those stats are some what skewed as I noticed that on a week I was on holiday, not posting links I was still registering 50-100 clicks a day from one of the pages which leads me to believe that some people have book marked the link for daily use. I would assume the conversion rate is a lot higher IRL

Even higher? The last year I have had about 30,000 clicks and had only 136 depositors, which is a little on the high side (I target a niche that has bad conversion rates), but 150 click/RMD seems to be common among other peers I have talked to, but this is from "regular" betting websites. Maybe I need to do more social work.

Thanks for creating this thread and sharing your experience.
