Brainstorming ways to Monetize MASSIVE Facebook Group (What would YOU do?????)

    Over a year ago, I began a Facebook Group.

    It has incurred slow and steady growth, at the rate of roughly 500-1,000 new members every day. With the limited power of Facebook group's, I have essentially grown the group by linking up with companies to donate FREE things, to give away for contests....allowing whoever invites all their friends to the group, to check-in, and be eligible for the drawings.....

    In over a year, I haven't even tried to monetize it.....essentially giving away free advertisement to military related causes/ non-profits.....

    Iv'e done what I can to foster trust, encourage repeat visitors, and engagement with the limited Facebook Group features......There has been substantial interaction with Group threads, and the Group wall....

    If you were me.....and wanted to monetize this group, HOW would you do it?

    Charge for link placements? monthly? annually? Just sell the whole group flat out? Charge for permanent videos to be included? Permanent links?

    Great! I have responded to everyone who has emailed me so far......

    also........today, I have just added THIS....to show where EXACTLY your advertisement will be placed....it will be at the very top of the group.....my own analytics on my own military related website has demonstrated very high increases in traffic, because this population is targeted so well.......the group has grown by 500-1,000 members consistently (yesterday, it had 1,400+ new members).........I have also held contests and given away alot of free stuff in order to foster membership interaction and RETURN visits from people who have become genuinly and sincerely interested in growing the group.....they promote the group significantly in other groups, as well.....

    ............I will also consider websites that might not be particularly military related, but that military personnel could benefit from........health and exercise, nutrition, etc.........email me and we can discuss..........
