This presentation is from Affiliate Summit West 2014 (January 12-14, 2014 in Las Vegas, NV). Session description: Learn how I use Facebook Pages to reach over a million people a day for free and where I funnel that traffic to make money.

3. I do a lot of things
• Always looking to make more money
online
• Always looking for my next project
• Always looking to learn something new
4. WSO turned into online business
• Brian Johnson (browie) introduced me to “Fan
Pages” through his WSO, Fan Page
Commissions, and it just took off from there.
5. Disclaimer
• I am not a lawyer and you should not expect
any of the experience I share with you as legal
advice.
• I will note times where I have “gotten in
trouble” so you can use them as a learning
experience. You’re welcome
7. Who’s done it?
• Raise your hand if…
– You have created a Facebook Page for a business.
– You have created a Facebook Page for an
“entertainment page”.
9. Key Ingredients
• Good niche (we will go over this in more detail
soon)
• Good title or name
• Great profile picture
• Awesome cover photo
10. Name and Profile Picture
• Pick the name that best fits your Page and is
timeless.
• Don’t get too general (example: Keurig)
• Upload a profile picture that will stand out.
Take advantage of all real estate!
11. Create a great cover photo
• Create your own or get one created on Fiverr.
13. More Attention = More Traffic
• The better your Page looks when it pops up in
people’s feeds the more likely you will be to
get Likes and free traffic.
14. Picking the right niche
• Do your research and see if it’s saturated.
• Check the amount of interest using Facebook
Ads.
• Pick something that interests you. You will
have the most success long term with doing
something you enjoy.
• I have posted nearly everyday since October
13, 2011 on Charlie Day Quotes.
16. Find something unique or close
• Brand new audience = QUICK GROWTH
– Example: Charlie Day Quotes
• Exposed, but ignore audience = QUICK
(RE)GROWTH
– Example: Mitch Hedberg Jokes
• Saturated audience = PAINFUL WASTE OF
MONEY
17. Is there interest?
• Check Facebook Ads to see if there’s any
interest in your niche.
18. Continue Building with Content

engagement.

21. Build your audience using Facebook
Ads

base and then grow virally from their
engagement.
• Create a Facebook Ad specifically for
generating “Likes” and acquiring users.
23. The Mindset

Likes, Comments, and Shares.
– Setup paid ads to get Likes (users) to help get the viral
traffic moving.
• Monetize
– Mix in targeted content you can monetize with your
normal posts to keep your users happy, traffic
flowing, and money pouring in.
25. Why Mitch Works

consistently.
