Earning $60K in 30 Days From Facebook Traffic
💬 Hasib Alic tweets…
Over the past 30 days, I've made $60K from Facebook traffic, successfully completing my challenge.
13 months ago, I created a Facebook page for one of my websites and decided to challenge myself to grow the revenue from 0 to $50K per month within 12 months.
Unfortunately, I didn't meet my goal within the first year, but just a month later, I succeeded.
He doesn’t reveal the site but says it's monetised with display ads 🤑
Also important to note: Hasib started the challenge with a $50K budget.
He documented his whole journey in several blog posts over the past year 📝
From his first update…
I manage over 15 content sites that collectively attract 10M+ visits each month and generate $120K+ in monthly revenue through ad monetization.
Throughout my journey in building these sites, I’ve always aimed for diversification, with traffic coming from organic search, Pinterest, and, of course, Facebook.
From a recent update…
I won’t get into the current state of SEO, which is tough for small publishers. For over six months, I’ve been saying that Facebook is the best platform for publishers right now. Last year, we moved 95% of our content production to focus on Facebook, which turned out to be one of my best business decisions in the last ten years.
To show you what I mean, the website where I’m running a $50K challenge made $16,331 in the last 30 days.
… half of our revenue for the past month came from just the last week. Right now, we’re making just over $1,000/day on average, which is an amazing achievement.
I’ve invested just under $4,000 on Facebook ads in the last 30 days, experimenting with two types of ads.
So he earned $16,331 on a $4K ad spend 💰
But of course he must have other expenses as well, especially the cost of content production.
Still, it's an impressive feat and Hasib seems to have refined his FB ads strategy to become more and more profitable over time 😎
In his most recent update he shares some tips that are working right now…
1. Posting pictures with the link in the first comment.
2. Text posts with a background and the link in the first comment.
3. Facebook ad arbitrage can be effective if you find articles with good RPM and create ads with low enough CPC.
4. Investing in likes to generate organic traffic has proven to be an excellent strategy.
5. Creating additional Facebook pages for the same website is a practical option.
Another article from Hasib…
Worth noting that he posts all that info on Strevio.com.
Strevio is "a tool for bloggers and media publishers looking to drive more traffic from their Facebook Pages to their Websites."
Hasib owns that business as well, and it seems that software is a key part of his strategy 👍

Father + Son + Personalized Gifts = $100K/Month
Taha Yavuz is the co-founder of Luca’s Gift, a site which makes and sells personalized gifts like wallets and pens ✍️
Per a recent interview, the business does $100,00 in monthly revenue.
It all began when Taha's father migrated to the US from Turkey 🇹🇷
He couldn't find a job so he started making personalized keychains and selling them on Etsy.
💬 Taha says…
We first started selling using marketplaces such as Etsy and Amazon. It is easier to take a place on a saturated marketplace rather than opening a website. So, we have chosen that way. It took about 2 weeks to get orders.
They finally set up their own website in 2020, after Taha joined his father in the US…
we joined forces and started selling online more seriously. I have added more items like leather wallets, wooden pen & pen sets, jewelry…
Sounds like Poppa Yavuz was doing everything by hand at first.
But as a trained mechanical engineer, Taha was able to set up machines that improved their production process 💪
Then…
we connected with manufacturers abroad to bring finished products and only do the personalization here… manufacturing is a painful process but after a couple of samples and feedback, we were able to bring quality items to our shop.
Marketing…
To attract traffic, we used Instagram ads, Youtube ads, Google ads, you name it, we tried all. It was a painful and costly lesson for us and [it didn’t work out]…
Currently, almost 95% of our business is running through Etsy and Amazon.
🧐 From what I can tell, they operate one store on Amazon and two on Etsy…
TAMEDUS (55,000+ sales)
LucasEngravingStore (24,000+ sales)
Profits…
I believe we are still in the standard profit margins like 15%... we make personalized items and competition is considerably low, but the profit margins are not huge.
So out of that $100,000 monthly revenue, they're profiting $15,000.
Which is still pretty good 👍
However, Taha also notes that their growth on Amazon and Etsy has stagnated…
We are… decreasing efforts on marketplaces and waiting to attract more customers to our website. Because marketplaces have not grown much for the last 2 years…
Two ideas from this story 👇
First, it's clear there's still a big demand for handmade and personalized gifts.
Do you know any craftspeople who are already creating these kinds of products?
Could you help them scale their operation, similar to how Taha helped his father? 🤔
Second, I suspect someone could find success here by going more niche.
How about personalized gifts for golfers, pet owners, etc?
