Answers
There are different ways that you can make a profit from a Facebook group. The key is to understand your audience and know what type of services/products they would be interested in.
You can charge businesses or companies that are looking to target that specific audience a flat fee and post their products/services on their behalf.
You can add affiliate links for products or services that are relevant to your audience and earn commissions on the sales/leads generated from those links.
You can sell advertising on a CPC basis.
Etc...
Depending on the level of skill of the group members, I would try some affiliate offers from Clickbank. I have done some Facebook advertising of affiliate offers and I have found that photography courses and foreign language courses convert pretty well. In your position, where you have authority already as group admin, you should be able to convert a much higher percentage than I would using adverts. Look for a good course that has "rebilling" for recurring monthly compensation
In addition to the answers you've already received, I would suggest utilizing an Amazon affiliate account and pointing your audience to "great deals" on photography related equipment and resources.
This way you are staying consistent with the theme of your group and you are simply adding value by making the group aware of things they could benefit from.
I suggest creating a paid Facebook group and charging members a monthly membership fee.
You don't even need it to be too many people- target a membership of around 300 when you get started.
Create great content and offer inside info around your core topic. Interview experts, set up AMAs on the private Facebook group, have weekly accountability threads- basically any information that will improve the members' skills. Often you won't even have to rack your brain- your members will tell you what they want the most.
Keep engagements level high and slowly open the gates as you see people getting value out of the group.
To ease your admin burdens you can appoint a few managers in the paid group, and give them a share of the revenue.
Absolutely — if you’ve got a Facebook group with over 6,000 members, you're sitting on a goldmine of potential income. The key is to stop doing just admin work and start turning that community into a profitable ecosystem. Here's a clear and powerful step-by-step guide to make real money from your group — without burning out:
1. Pick a Niche Offer to Monetize
Your group likely has a specific theme or problem it solves. Use that to offer something valuable:
- Affiliate products that solve their pain points
- A course, workshop, or eBook you can create in days
- A done-for-you service, consulting, or coaching
If you’re not ready to sell your own thing, start with affiliate marketing. Recommend tools, products, or services they already need — and get paid every time someone buys.
2. Turn Posts Into Cash (Not Just Conversation)
You're likely already posting… now add strategy:
1. Create posts with a CTA (comment “interested” or click a link)
2. Use storytelling to highlight success and pain points
3. Share wins/testimonials from those who take action
Example:
“Here’s how one group member turned her side hustle into $1,000/month using this exact tool 👇”
Bonus Tip: Use tools like Funnel Freedom ( https://bit.ly/4hW9J6N ) to send them from group → lead capture → follow-up emails → offer.
3. Set Up a Weekly Promo Engine
Create theme days or “pin posts” that make it easy to promote:
- Monday: Free value tip
- Wednesday: Product or service promo
- Friday: Group-only offer (discount, affiliate bonus, etc.)
This keeps your group alive, engaged, and profitable — without sounding salesy.
4. Automate With Funnels + Email
Don’t just answer questions manually. Turn FAQs into automated lead magnets.
Example:
“I made a free cheat sheet on [X] — comment below and I’ll DM you.”
Then drop them into an email sequence that builds trust and sells for you.
Use Funnel Freedom ( https://bit.ly/4hW9J6N ) to do this all in one place — landing page, CRM, emails, even SMS.
5. Partner With Other Brands
With 6,000+ members, other businesses want your reach. Offer:
- Paid promo slots
- Joint giveaways
- Sponsored posts
- Affiliate partnerships
Even micro brands will pay you $50–$500+ for access to your audience.
6. Create a Low-Ticket Digital Product
Use group insights to create a $17–$47 digital product like:
- “The Ultimate Starter Guide”
- Templates, checklists, swipe files
- Group-only mini course or webinar
Then promote it weekly or run monthly “flash sales.” Easy, scalable, and 100% passive.

What is the difference between #topics and precise interests when choosing audience on Facebook ads?
Topic targeting is a broad way of targeting people who've expressed interest in that topic or "related topic". It's a good option if you want to create awareness, do branding or generate likes. But when your end goal is sales/leads - it's good to go for precise interests as that's like exact match - and it ensures that you're reaching only those people which you're actually targeting - not related ones.Kumar SetuKS

How do you build social media presence up before a product launch?
It can certainly be tough to build up a substantial follower base, starting from nothing or very little, especially if you haven't launched your product yet. But here are a few tactics to help you get in front of more people pre-launch: 1) Start sharing tons of useful content. Before you bother sending people to your Twitter feed or Facebook page, you want to make sure they'll find something valuable once they get there. If you have the time, create original content that ties into your industry, your product, or your company in some way (without directly promoting yourself, though). If you don't have the bandwidth to create your own content, find other articles from bloggers you admire or experts in your industry, and share their content. Just make sure you're putting out information that's highly relevant and valuable to the audience you're trying to attract so you can engage them once they find you. 2) Create conversation. The people who aren't following you yet aren't seeing your tweets, so how do you show them value and get them to discover you? Start a conversation! At Change Collective, we're rolling out our first course on Becoming an Early Riser. So I'll do a Twitter search for "need to wake up earlier" and find a bunch of people who are tweeting about the exact problem we're setting out to solve. By favoriting their tweets or replying with -- "That's great! We think we can help - check out our newest course & let us know what you think!" -- I'm getting our product on their radar and simultaneously providing value to them. 3) Ask for help. Start with your fellow team members, and ask them to share the company's Facebook posts or retweet some of your tweets. You can even create lazy tweets for them to share. What about your board members? Advisors? VCs? They all have a stake in helping your company grow awareness and adoption, so find an easy and appropriate way for them to help by leveraging their networks. And if you have friends and family who are excited about your business and supportive of what you're doing, they probably won't mind a friendly request to help spread the news every once in a while. Hope this helps! I just joined an early-stage startup and I'm currently building up our marketing from scratch. Happy to jump on a call and offer some tips from the trenches if you'd like. Best of luck!Sarah BrodySB

What will happen if I bid lower than the recommended price for Facebook ads?
It's actually very smart to do it the way you are doing it. We do this all the time and have tested it extensively. What you want to do is to see if your ad is getting enough "reach" at the 20 cent click level. Reach is the amount of times your ad is shown. If there aren't many others bidding, you can bid pretty low and still get lots of reach. However, if your ad isn't getting shown much, you'll know that you should raise your ad price. Make sure you also test using Optimized CPM versus paying for clicks as well. Hope that helps.Phil GrahamPG

Why do sales from my Facebook ads only happen the first few days?
Thank you for sharing this question! The sales usually happen when the ads first run because Facebook knows who the most likely buyers are and once the ads have shown once, you are likely reaching the same people over and over. The ad campaigns I have found that make the best sales are in the format of a post on a page with a lot of social proof. If your ads do not have social proof, then only the early adopters will buy. If your ads have thousands of likes, shares, and comments from a post on your page, then you can count on mainstream sales. If you want to chat more about Facebook ads, you are welcome to schedule a call!Jerry BanfieldJB

Need a good lead generation strategy for chiropractors for getting new patients. Ideas?
I think Facebook is great for really targeting your audience and you’re on the right track. But I think you can have a better funnel than that. I find, for getting better conversion today, it is better to get your Facebook traffic off of Facebook as fast as you can to your offer and into your funnel. It is more effective for driving actual sales. If you’re just looking for social branding etc. then your funnel might be ok. A very effect strategy is to create either a video or report that you give away to your audience in exchange for an email. It should be something that helps solve or bring to light the problems patients are suffering from and how to go about solving them. Then mention how having a great Chiropractor can solve all of that and can be the most effective way to get ride of the pain. I would also have some things in there that would help them in other ways. Then I would send them to an event or webinar with your top Chiropractor and you in an interview / reveal-all type webinar to educate your lead and manage their fears of going to a Chiropractor. You could tell them that the first step is making an appointment for an assessment. You should make it easy for them to find the best and most effective Chiropractor in their area. You might have a discount on the assessment only available to them for being on the webinar to get them to sign up at the end of the webinar. By the way, once this is recorded, you can make this evergreen so you don't have to do a webinar all the time. As long as you are reaching more and new people with your Facebook campaign you won’t have to change the video all the time. Once you have people signed up to make an appointment, make sure they are also putting a deposit of a 100 dollars or something down. This will increase your show rate for the Chiropractors. Then give them a voucher for that Chiropractor, for more than you’re asking for at the deposit for services, to use with that Chiropractor. Allowing you to prevent cancelations etc. so that their getting their money back in the form of a voucher for services which, by the way, is not a discount and shouldn’t diminishing your Chiropractors Rates. This strategy I have used in several markets that has produced more prequalified leads and patients / customers. Remember to test, track and know your metrics. You’re going to need to make some tweaks in the beginning, but this can be very effective for you. So to recap: 1. Setup a landing page with your offer in exchange for an offer. You can build this in software like Leadpages.net or Megaphoneapp.com 2. Make your offer downloadable if an ebook or white paper or present your video after. I recommend using Wistia instead of YouTube for playback as you will be able to have heat maps of your video to know where your fall off points are. You can also make this page with the software mentioned above. 3. Use an email autoresponder to engage your lead and email them about the event you’re doing after they had time to read or download your materials. Or, if a video, I would just pitch them at the end with a link below the video to automatically register. 4. Put on a webinar with your guest using either GoToWebinar or Google hangouts if you know how to set that up. 5. Make sure you have your appointment getting page with your the down payment created. You can use several different type of scheduling services so you can automatically deliver the lead/ appointment to the chiropractor. To Note: The reason I don’t send the visitor to the webinar first is because it is better to get the visitor predisposed to your information before asking them to commit to a webinar and when you do it the way I played out, you will have a much better show rate. This is it in a nutshell. Obviously there is more to it. If you need another funnel idea I am hear to help. I have used other effective strategies in the past to also make money on the front end to make your advertising free. It just depends on what you want to do and how advanced you want to get. Hope this helps give you some ideas. :) If you need help implementing something like this just let me know.Michael HartmannMH
