As a compliment to my future website, I made a simple facebook app in hopes it would go viral and help brand my company. I was right. Not only did the app go viral but at the highest, I was getting 12k hits a day and for 6 months have had a steady traffic stream. As a result, I have been getting like after like and now have 40k likes. Currently I get around 100 likes per day.

Sounds great right? Well here is the problem. 85% of the traffic is from India and Nigeria. How do I use these 40k fans to make more money? Currently we have ads all over our app and although very annoying, we make a nice 10$ per 1k hits. There has to be more ways to make money with all these users and all these likes. What can I do?

Likes is not a currency. Get a job.

Likes "are" not a currency. I get that, thanks...but there has to be a way to utilize them.

But you already monetized the visits, right? You should build on that.

I don't think 20,000 likes are that much to build something on.

I get what you're saying I was more trying to imply I have a decent fan base and really no product. I just looked at the fb insights and about 75% of the fans are 18-34 and from India.
