I Own a Facebook Group About a TV Show with 50k Members. How Can I Make Money From It?

Site Feedback

I manage a Facebook group dedicated to a popular TV show, and it currently has about 50,000 active members. I’m wondering if there’s a way to monetize the group without overwhelming or annoying my audience. Has anyone here had success making money from a similar setup? Ideas or suggestions on where to start would be appreciated…

Consider setting up a BuyMeACoffee link—generous people might tip.

I second that! You can casually add this to the group description: ‘I love having you all here! It’s completely free, but if you want to show your appreciation, your tips would mean a lot! It’s a way to support the time and effort I put in.’ See how it goes!

This might be a bit underhanded, but a friend made a lot from the TV show Bosch. He advertised free paracord bracelets with a small shipping charge, making a good profit.

It’s surprising that people would pay $5 delivery for a $1 product. This strategy could work in various niches. I might give it a go.

Consider print-on-demand (POD) merchandise. Create your own merch that you can sell. You already have an established audience, so go for it!

This is a great idea!

Setting up a tip link is a fantastic idea! You could also look into merchandising.

You could sell advertising space in your group. Create a simple online store where people can purchase ad slots, but make sure the group’s rules restrict advertising.

Custom t-shirts could work too!

Thanks for all the ideas!!!

If your show relates to motorbikes, reach out to motorbike companies for potential sponsorships.

Post your question in r/affiliatemarketing for more insights.

15

Consider affiliate links to products related to the show. Amazon Associates is an option. You can also create print-on-demand merchandise and promote it in the group. Sharing short clips from the show while consistently promoting your merchandise can keep the group engaging.

I’m concerned about possible copyright notices from the show regarding print-on-demand.

Check if the official merchandise has an affiliate program.

Start selling products related to the show. With so many members, even a few interested buyers can lead to extra income.

I can buy the group from you for $1k.
