Quick takeaways

Utilizing a Facebook group owned by the speaker as a potential revenue stream by either rebooting it as a new venture or leveraging it as a marketing asset for another business.

Monetizing the Facebook group by relaunching it as a new version of a previously successful venture called Trends, offering a similar service to regain previous paying customers.

Using the Facebook group as a marketing platform for growing another business, like Hampton, by maintaining its free status and ensuring consistent engagement and quality.

Deep dives

A Facebook Group with Potential for Monetization

There is a Facebook group owned by the speaker with 3000 members, mainly consisting of small business owners. While the speaker does not currently have plans to monetize the group, there is potential for it to become a revenue stream. One suggestion is to reboot the group as a new version of a previously successful venture and offer it as a free resource. Another option is to leverage the group as a marketing asset for another business the speaker owns. This would involve keeping the group free and ensuring its continued popularity and engagement.
