I also have a chicken keeping facebook page, Fresh Eggs Daily, which is actually THE largest on Facebook. I have 57,000+ fans on Instagram, and a blog that has attracted more than 50 sponsors. I have also written three top-selling books and travel the country speaking about backyard chickens. I grew my fan base 'organically' without doing giveaways (except on rare occasions), or posting nonsensical memes on Facebook, or buying likes or paying Facebook to promote my page, but instead by sharing good, solid advice on raising chickens naturally. There are lots of ways to monetize a brand and a blog. Everyone does have to find their niche. And also be able to sleep at night.
