I have to admit, I think I have created a very successful Facebook profile – not page.
Why is it successful – the 230 people I have on this facebook profile are all fans of what my niche is. So much so, that everytime I make a comment or a post, whether it be sharing an article, posting a comment, uploading a photo.. I get between
5-20 likes,
5-50 comments
and my posts get shared to a wider network – so much so that people are now adding themselves to my profile – even if it is 1 every 2 days.
I haven’t monetized it – because I don’t think I am at that point of number of followers where the gambling affiliate link will be seen as part of the content.
I have through of doing it this way though where I comment to pages which has an interested article (written by me) which has gambling links in the content to send the user to.
Also I think the new facebook layout, is helping webmaster to better interact and encourage their users to interact with profiles.
