A quick update on the case study - this has moved quickly! Over the past couple of months, we launched 20 brand-new Facebook Pages as a live experiment. Nothing fancy and no shortcuts. We just built 20 pages properly from day one using the same structure and content systems we teach inside the community. The goal was simple: 👉 see how quickly we could get pages eligible for Facebook Content Monetisation if everything was done “right”. In the last update, 5 pages had been approved. Since then, another batch of approvals has landed. As of now… 16 out of 20 pages are monetised. 📈 Launch → monetisation timelines Pages approved on 26th January - Launched 1st December → monetised in 56 days - Launched 24th November → monetised in 63 days - Launched 18th November → monetised in 69 days - Launched 15th November → monetised in 72 days - Launched 10th November → monetised in 77 days Pages approved on 29th January - Launched 25th November → monetised in 65 days - Launched 24th November → monetised in 66 days - Launched 21st November → monetised in 69 days - Launched 20th November → monetised in 70 days - Launched 19th November → monetised in 71 days - Launched 18th November → monetised in 72 days - Launched 17th November → monetised in 73 days - Launched 17th November → monetised in 73 days - Launched 15th November → monetised in 75 days - Launched 12th November → monetised in 78 days - Launched 10th November → monetised in 79 days What I think is actually interesting here is this wasn’t one page getting lucky. These pages were launched a weeks apart, across a variety of different niches, with no existing brand behind them and they’re all landing in roughly the same window. This tells us: - the page setup is solid - the content formats make sense - engagement signals are clean - and Facebook is just… doing what Facebook does when you don’t fight it What’s next: Now that monetisation is switched on across most of the pages, we move into the fun bit:

This one has been a long time coming. We’ve just launched a brand new masterclass in our paid community that breaks down exactly how we use Meta ads to seed Facebook Pages — not for sales, not for leads — but to turn pages into real, scalable assets. This is not a generic Facebook ads course.And it’s definitely not “boost posts and hope”. This masterclass is about: 🔥 Escaping the Zero Signal phase 🔥 Seeding the right followers, not just cheap ones 🔥 Building momentum fast instead of waiting months for organic 🔥 Using Page Like campaigns the right way 🔥 Designing ads that actually work for niche pages 🔥 Reading results without panicking or killing good campaigns 🔥 Turning ads into a repeatable system, not a guessing game We go deep on: - Why new pages feel “stuck” at the start - How Meta actually learns who your page is for - What metrics matter (and which ones don’t) - How to protect winning campaigns and test without chaos If you’re building: ✔ niche / theme pages ✔ pages for monetisation ✔ a portfolio of Facebook assets …this is foundational. No fluff. No guru nonsense. Just operator logic, clean systems, and stuff that actually works in 2026. 👉 The Meta Ads for Facebook Pages Masterclass is live now inside the classroom here. If you’ve been waiting to move faster without guessing — this is it. Let’s go 💪

I'll be straight with you. A more experienced community creator warned me early on about letting members post freely in a free community. I didn't listen, and they were right. At 1.2k members, the feed had become a bit of a mess. - Disguised self-promo dressed up as "wins." - Posts are completely off-topic. - Blatant client fishing. Spam. Meanwhile, the people who actually wanted help with AI content creation and monetization were drowning in the noise. Managing the community post was becoming a time sink. That's not what we built this for. So here's what's changing. What's new: - We've removed member posts and cleared the feed entirely. - Going forward, we'll provide structured posts for collaborations, link swaps, questions, and more — so the valuable stuff is easy to find, and the noise is gone. What's not changing: - Everything we teach is still here and still free. - You can learn to build a monetized Facebook Page and much more right inside the classroom. - We'll still give feedback if you put in the work — just drop your questions under the course posts and the new structured threads.
