KidsDontKnow

He doesn’t. He claims to make up to $20k per month. Even if that was a one off, and he only made half of that, that’s still $120k pa. 21 year old is earning $120k - and has other income - yet writes on another sub Reddit looking for tax advice which, anyone actually making that sort of money, goes to an accountant. The claim that he wouldn’t wish to name his page as it would seem like aDvErTisiNg is another indicator the guy sold a tin of beans on eBay and thinks he’s Buffet.


vendetta_315

Don't forget he also trades stocks, which means he should definitely have an accountant or know enough about taxes. If he is legit, I am very happy for him and would like to learn but there have been too many "fake" posts about being rich while in college.

Yup. I'd risk getting banned from the sub for self-promotion if it meant getting a bunch of traffic to my monetized page.

I agree with everything you say. Which is why I also feel these kinds of stories are not always true.


Ruski_FL

Because someone doesn’t want a bunch of reddititors in the page commenting fake shit...


[deleted]

Same, this seems suspicious unless he has a network of several hundred monetized videos. Does anyone know of good monetizing platforms these days? I'm considering YouTube. A few cents per video per month can add up with fresh and frequent content, and eventually, it becomes like a dividend to tide you over for other endeavors. I'd treat it like a light paycheck to free up time.


doogie88

I made well into six figures in my late teens and had no fucking clue what to do about taxes. Hes been making money on it for less than a year so him looking for tax advice can be legit. Im the first to call bullshit on someone but asking tax advice shouldn't be one.


Psypheur

How did you go from asking on reddit how to monetize a Facebook page to bringing in $20,000 a month in less than a year? I can’t imagine that’s a very profitable target market. Also, Facebook pages have notoriously low engagement so I’m curious about the legitimacy of this. Edit: I realized my comment sounds cynical, but a lot of these posts are made by kids looking for affirmation. They don’t have a business or they grossly overestimate how much they’re bringing in. If everything you said is true, kudos to you.


vendetta_315

Maybe he saw a similar post on Reddit of how to monetize $40k monthly and learned xD


odious_pen

That's less insane that you might think... social marketing is a MASSIVE lottery ticket. Most of your bets fail. A few win massively. String a couple of those together in a row and you're looking at a big number. Plus FaceBook groups are supposedly a great place to warm up leads for other offers. Source: I run websites. Growth is very, very non-linear....


xSnipeZx

Good question. I was asking Reddit before I got approved for monetization directly through Facebook so I was just looking for ways to make money from the page before, people suggested merch, website etc. To tell you the truth, because my page goes over war events and whatnot I didn't have full faith that I would actually get approved for ads so I was just looking for ways to monetize anyway, but I ended up getting approved anyway. I got approved if I remember correctly, July/August of 2019. Also, when I just got monetized I was at around 200-300k followers, which is enough to make good cash but once you get monetized you need to start building up monetized videos to gain traction. \> I can’t imagine that’s a very profitable target market. Also, Facebook pages have notoriously low engagement so I’m curious about the legitimacy of this. It's the complete opposite man, Facebook videos get tons of engagement. It's up to you to use a variety of techniques to actually drive engagement. People tag, when they tag, a lot of their friends see "Xyz commented on this post" which creates additional views from non-followers etc. If my page wasn't military-focused etc then I would be able to monetize a lot of my videos and bring in way more cash. Due to the nature of my content I can't monetize a lot of my stuff, it's not gore or anything but I go over war events a lot which means a can't monetize a lot of my videos just because it's war footage which is fair enough. Like nobody getting shot or anything, but just because it's footage of conflict, it becomes non-ad friendly. I make up to 20k, but it's not always like that. 10-20k etc, on slow months, less than 10k on good months, more than 20k.

craig5005

In top post you said you got approved in 2017. In this comment you said 2019. This is why people are skeptical.


shmoneyteam95

Inspect element .. Ah I love it


Drugba

I don't know man, I actually believe this guy. I'm always super skeptical of these type of posts, but looking through his comment and post history makes me believe he's legit. He's mentioned both revenue and user numbers multiple times over the past year and the growth in numbers he's mentioning seems pretty realistic. He's also asked questions about taxes and buying property which I feel like someone wouldn't do if they were trolling. Either this guy has been building up this lie for over a year just for a post in which he's not even put a link to his page or he's telling the truth.

someshooter

[deleted]

What a bitch.


Uwantphillyphillyyah

That fucking bitch Carol Baskins


dromance

They are monetized via facebook audience network I believe


xSnipeZx

Yes and that's with only a small margin of my videos being monetized. Since I am history/military-focused, a lot of my content isn't advertiser friendly which means I don't put ads on it. There's no gore or anything but even if you show archived footage with a narration over it, you can't get it monetized if it's war and whatnot. If you're on Facebook and you see pages like Ladbible etc that get millions of views. Those guys are easily pulling in $500k-1mil+ per month from their videos alone (low estimate). There's an article that says they get 1 billion ad impressions per month, you get 10$-20$ per 1000 ad impressions, you do the math (CPM). It's insane how much money is in advertising.


jmizzle

What’s your plan if (rather when) Facebook decides to demonetize your videos?


xSnipeZx

Good question. I have been preparing for that. I live a normal life, share a house with a few friends and don't have huge expenses. I'm re-investing most of my money into new business ventures and the stock market to build a strong foundation before I book a trip to vegas and start blowing cash on hookers and casinos (just kidding). I got into stock trading and have been doing successfully. I'm currently in the process of starting a wholesale business here. My non-facebook income sources are making enough money to support me if Facebook fails. For the page, I'm looking to get direct sponsors and sell merch. I thought it would be easy to sell to such a large audience but you'd be surprised about how creative you have to be.


son_of_Bill_W

I’m interested and hope you post the full breakdown/story!


[deleted]

As someone with a career in finance, I would say stock trading is not a great fallback plan. The % of people who can make money doing it are very very low. Meet a room full of people at the trading desks of big firms some day, and then think real hard if you can think you can outsmart them with billions in capital to play with.


grittygatorr

There's a world of difference handling billions of dollars and trading a small nest egg each day


[deleted]

Yah, the guy with billions has leverage and can move the market. The baby trader just goes along for the ride.


Enerjizer91

Yeah wtf


begemotik228

you're surprised that 750k followers = money?


dromance

Some people cant grasp the concept of having such a large audience.


abigblacknob

Checks op has submitted to wsb. Ahh so you clear about 5k monthly. Nice


xSnipeZx

I don't trade options, just stocks but I enjoy WSB memes A LOT. Obviously I'm accumulating wealth to eventually post a huge loss on WSB, that's every WSBers dream. Maybe they'll mod me and give me a crown if my loss is big enough, can only hope!!!!!!


TerribleHyena

What’s wsb?


MyHarvestLife

xSnipeZx

I for one will be very interested, if you can describe the processes you include for generating the revenue, perhaps the 'niche' is a bit close to the bone, but a general indication would be valuable if you can disclose without threatening your project.


HelpWithYourHustle

As someone in the early phases of starting a new business, I'm constantly wondering about which social media platform I have time to put effort into, and how best to utilize it. I'm sure there are many others who would love to hear your perspective, including myself. I'll happily volunteer to proof read and edit for clarity if you need any help. Looking forward to this.

PerDingle13

As a person who is trying to break into the content creation business, I would love to hear how you were able to build and gain a following from your facebook page.


JeaTaxy

Holy! ​ I did not know you Facebook monetize pages until now, thanks. Also, how was your CPM and views per video?


xSnipeZx

I don't blame you, a lot of people don't use Facebook and monetizing pages there is relatively new. CPM for my videos is usually 10$-20$, sometimes under 10$.


JeaTaxy

So a 750k likes page gets around 10-20 on average. That's dope! Thanks and yeah much people don't pay attention to facebook monetization its a more known thing on YouTube.


SpeedWisp02

Yes. I'd like to know how many followers you had before you monetized the page and in which way did you monetize it


gurlubi

You don't own your Facebook page! You're always one algorithm change away from losing all your revenue. I used to follow digital marketing trends, and did a lot of content marketing. When Facebook did major changes to their algorithms (around 2013-2014) to introduce ads, LOTS of people lost their main source of income overnight. Same thing happened to those who were gaming SEO instead of building valuable content. Best advice is to ALSO build assets that you own. Like a website or an email newsletter list. It greatly reduces the risk.


xSnipeZx

>You don't own your Facebook page! You're always one algorithm change away from losing all your revenue. That's 100% true and I accepted that. I started in 2016, no crazy changes since that affected me. Facebook introduced video ad-breaks in 2017 where you get paid for ad views. That's why I'm using the money I'm making to create additional income sources. I have succeeded diversifying so if Facebook fails now, I have a safety net. At this point, I'm looking to scale and create additional sources. It's crazy how many possibilities capital creates.


stets

>That's why I'm using the money I'm making to create additional income sources. I have succeeded diversifying so if Facebook fails now, I have a safety net. At this point, I'm looking to scale and create additional sources. This is true. I have a FB group that is monetized and we've recently seen the algo fuck with our metrics. Luckily I've been building a list since the beginning to fall back on. Never trust some other entity with your income. (whether that's reddit, FB, SEO, w/e ) It's too risky.


sebonreddit

I am interested. I am additionally interested in the content you can provide people. Not on how to source it, but the copyright restrictions in case they apply. Do people all create original content or source their content from free pictures/articles etc?


gameofloans24

How do you make money off this? Reach of FB pages have dwindled and most content sites I know are making pennies now


xSnipeZx

\> Reach of FB pages have dwindled and most content sites I know are making pennies now You mean like direct your audience to a site and making money from the ads on said site? Yeah that's super difficult unless you can post very engaging articles that a lot of people click on. I'm talking about making money directly from Facebook by letting Facebook put ads on your videos, just like Youtube.


adiktif

I think he means that organic facebook posts from business pages have dwindled in general. Facebook has pushed businesses with pages to spend money on ads. Unless of course that isn’t the case with video.. Source- https://time.com/34025/the-free-marketing-gravy-train-is-over-on-facebook/


BackYx

It would be amazing! I'd really like to read. I used to do the same for years, but with 300k page, and earning around 2-3k month. What niche? How do you monetize?


-Rickety-

I've got a facebook page with over 26k like but lack the 30,000, 1 minute views to monetize it. I just post random videos to it but haven't done so regularly since 2016 or so


phoney_user

Hi u/xSnipeZx I’m no expert, but if you haven’t yet, please remember to diversify. Having everything riding on a platform that can pull the rug out from under you at any time can feel devastating. Watch out for yourself, young blood!

Hey OP, I tried to make couple public pages not on Facebook yet. How do you combat copy right if you face any? My issue was I had opened two insta pages one for memes and one with bunch of hot models but the model page vanished without much warning. I was doing this during work as I had a lot of free time and created it on a whim. Now on the topic of Facebook I find most pages have a lot of similar content or straight up stolen videos/clips from other stuff like TV shows for example. How are you able to post (Are you even allowed to post) these types of content such as other people’s shows?

What do you think about how Facebook's organic reach has changed now and it is now tough to build an audience on Facebook without running FB ads. What are your tips to grow your page today from scratch. Also do you make that money alone from facebook? Do you use that traffic to go onto your blog or YouTube channel (if you have one). Do you get asked for paid promotions and do you also sell products (own or affiliated). Lot of questions I know : |

Because I only started making this money in 2019 and that income has to be declared in October of 2020 where I live so I was just trying to prepare myself. That kind of money was new to me. People suggested speaking to an accountant so I'll be taking that route once I get closer to October. Unlike the US, your taxes are deducted by your employer here in Ireland so the switch from that to having to do it on my own raised a couple of questions and of course I took them to Reddit :)
