Facts That Slap on + .
Turning it into immediate and near-term income. Steps you can act on today. Ordered by speed-to-cash and long-term value.
1. Immediate revenue actions you can start today.
-Sell sponsored posts / local promos in your FB groups. Create a simple media sheet (audience size, typical post format, price). Pitch nearby businesses (restaurants, bars, pawn shops, vets, recruiters. A single $25–$100 paid post can convert quickly. Use a pinned post with a business inquiries CTA.
-Promote offers that match each group (dating-related products, relationship books, veteran discounts, local services). Place links in posts and in your FB page About / YouTube video descriptions.
- Offer Direct Services to your audience (paid shoutouts, group-only promo posts, local gig referrals). Post a “Fast way to earn” offer in each group: “Need local promo? $X/post = message me.”
***These are the highest-speed ways to get cash because they use existing reach.
2. Platform Monetization you should Target:
* YouTube: apply for the YouTube Partner Program when eligible. YouTube’s official guidance lists the eligibility routes (example: required uploads + subscriber and watch/Shorts view thresholds). Start by meeting the Content + Subscriber benchmarks so you can unlock ad revenue and membership features.
* Facebook: register for Facebook/ content monetization tools (in-stream ads, Stars, paid subscriptions) and confirm your Page meets Partner Monetization Policies and view/follower thresholds. Use Reels + native video to build qualifying views.
3. Content Srategy — Facts That Slap
* Core format pillars (rotate these):
• **Shorts / (15–60s):** rapid “fact drop” + visual hook — fastest growth and cross-posting to FB Reels/YouTube .
• **List/Explainer long-form (5–10 min):** “5 facts about X that will surprise you” — higher watch time and monetization value on YT.
• **Reaction / Debunk (2–6 min):** react to viral posts, explain truth vs myth. Works very well for shareability.
• **Community / Live Q&A:** weekly live where you read comments, run polls, and accept paid Stars or shoutout donations.
* Repurpose everything: record the long-form with the phone, edit 3–5 shorts from it, post the full video on YouTube and a trimmed version on Facebook. Cross-post natively (not just links) for algorithmic reach.
4. Growth mechanics (how to get more eyeballs)
* Hook + retention formula: lead with a 1–3 second visual hook (“This one fact will make you rethink X”), then deliver 2–3 fast, sourced points. End with a clear CTA (“Subscribe for daily facts” + “Share this in the group”).
* Thumbnails & titles: use bold contrasting text, high-contrast faces or icons, 1280×720 thumbnails, and short titles with a number/power word. (Follow platform thumbnail/title guidance for CTR best practices.) ([Google Support][3])
* Post cadence: Shorts daily (or multiple per day), long-form 1–2x week, one live weekly. Batch-create one day per week to avoid burnout.
5. Monetization Roadmap:
* **Fastest:** sponsored posts, paid group promotions, affiliate links (start now).
* **Next:** Facebook Stars/fan subscriptions and YouTube channel memberships/Super features (once eligibility met). Check Meta / YouTube eligibility and apply. ([Facebook][4])
* **Scaling:** sell digital products (curated “facts” eBook, printable content), merch (print-on-demand), or a paid private community with premium content.
6. Practical Posting Templates!:
- FB promo pitch to local biz (DM): “Hi. I manage Facts That Slap (6k followers) and two local groups totaling ~15k members. I can post a promoted message about your business to targeted members for $X. Interested?
* Short video hook (script): “3 facts about [topic] that make people rethink it. #1 will surprise you. Fact one: …”
* YouTube title examples: “5 Facts About Dating That Actually Matter | Facts That Slap” / “You Won’t Believe These 7 Veteran Benefits (But They’re Real)”
7. Low Cost Production Setup:
* Phone on a tripod + natural light. Use free editing apps (CapCut, InShot) to cut clips and add captions. Create 3–5 shorts from each longer recording to maximize output.
8. Measurement:
* Track: CTR on thumbnails, average view duration (YouTube), and engagement rate (comments/shares) on Facebook. Double down on formats with the highest watch time and shares. Use native analytics on both platforms weekly.
9. Safety:
* Avoid reused/clip-compilation content that could be flagged as non-original. YouTube and Facebook prioritise original content for monetization; maintain authentic voice and add commentary or edits to reused clips. YouTube recently clarified policies on repetitive/inauthentic content — aim for clear originality. ([The Verge][5])
