What We Handle

Everything. You do nothing.

Our team takes over full management of your local news Facebook pages. This is 100% passive income from your perspective.

Local News Content Curation

We post at the cadence that maximizes revenue without compromising page health, tuned to your audience, not a fixed quota. Breaking local stories, community updates, traffic and weather alerts, school board meetings, local business spotlights, and engagement-optimized visuals tailored to your region.

Page Revival & Growth

Dormant or underperforming local pages? We revive and grow them. Local audiences are the most loyal on Facebook. Even pages inactive for years retain followers who re-engage when quality local content returns.

Monetization Management

We get pages approved for Facebook's Content Monetization program and optimize formats, posting cadence, and engagement triggers for maximum payouts.

Referral Traffic Revenue

We send traffic to qualifying high-RPM sites. No website? No problem. We route to high-RPM third-party sites in our network for additional income.

Compliance & Safety

We keep your pages, accounts, and payouts in perfect standing. Local news pages require careful community management. We know the rules, the lines, and how to grow without crossing them.

SOPs, Systems & Scaling

Professional-grade standard operating procedures, team training, and multi-page management systems that scale from 1 page to 50+ seamlessly.

Revenue Streams

How we make money

Local news publishers earn through three complementary revenue engines. We optimize all three simultaneously.

01
Asset Infrastructure

The most profitable publishers run half a dozen to dozens of Facebook pages. Each earns $1K to $50K+. We set up the right infrastructure so you scale without getting funds or accounts frozen.

02
Creator Monetization

Facebook pays a revenue share for every view your page generates. Local news pages sharing the right mix of community stories, images, and reels earn record-level revenue. Local content drives consistently high engagement.

03
Referral Traffic

For every $1 from Content Monetization, pages earn an additional $0.50-$1.00 from referral traffic. Most pages focus purely on content monetization, but traffic is a powerful bonus for qualifying sites.

FAQ

Common questions

Pages covering breaking local stories, community events, traffic and weather, school news, and local government updates perform the strongest.

Most pages see measurable revenue within 7-30 days. Pages with existing audiences and Content Monetization approval move the fastest.
