Facebook Experts - third party services to monetize a page? (1 Viewer)

[Tiger Fan]

I started a page back in 2007 or so and it now has over 17k followers (I'm not going to post the page in the thread, so please don't ask).  I literally have done nothing with it, it's just a name of a page that resonates with people.  Are there any third party services that can take control of my page and monetize it in exchange for a share in the $.  I don't want to touch it at all.....and I don't even know if 17k is considered "a lot of followers" for a niche....but I'd imagine with any effort it could grow decently.

Thanks

I'm curious...why don't you want us knowing the page? Maybe you'll get more followers?

not a big fan of having my real life revealed on the net.  Plus it's local to my geography

What specifically would this service do to ‘monitize‘ the page?  

I know a little bit about social media marketing and unless you’re talking about selling the follower list... if you don’t have a product or service to sell not sure. 

Lets say the page is called New Orleans Tiger Fans!  17k people have followed it but it isn’t that active. I guess you could charge products/services related to the topic to review their stuff but outside of that...

Niche dependent but Facebook pages in general now aren't worth much with FB's aggressive algorithm against them.  17k would be a lot for payday loans or car insurance or maybe diet pills.  For sports etc it is not much.

I have a page with 1.3m followers in the video game niche and it monetizes pretty poorly.

Your best bet is probably finding someone that sells New Orleans Tigers related goods and allowing them to pay a monthly fee in exchange for being a content creator on the page.  Then it would be up to them to make posts that engage fans (to increase how many people see posts from the page) and mix in a post here and there selling whatever their merchandise is.

 Facebook works really hard to keep your followers from following you.  Even L/C/S stuff doesn’t have the reach it used to.
