Best way to monetize Facebook Fan Pages without losing the page?

I've got this fan page that has 5k fans. 100% males. I initially set it up for a CPA offer, but I somehow managed to get a bunch of fans. I'm thinking about 'liking' the page with a random account (one that is not an admin on the page), posting pictures of hot girls (to grab people's attention), and linking to high payout offers like bizopps. Even if I only get 1 conversion a day it's fine.. by now it's basically free traffic.

Will putting these spammy links put my page at risk? It won't be doing this from any of my advertising accounts, just a random account. Will my account get banned, the page get banned, or both? I'm a bit hesitant to do this because if I lose the page I'll lose my campaign.. but damn, I feel like these 5k fans are going to waste.

Most likely you will be fine posting CPA offers straight to the page. If you can cater the offers to the niche the page is in, it should work awesome. I have about 50 large fanpages at this point, and a good bit in the 40k+ range of likes. I usually use hootsuite to schedule occasional blasts of spam to the pages. I just post a picture that is relevant to the niche of the page with an adcopy to a cpa offer (many of the pages were built around an offer, so that's easy.) I used to cycle a few offers in, but I've been lazy. Thing is, I normally don't bother with pages as small as 5k, they drive little to no traffic in my experience. If you actively engaged the fans and warmed them up, you would probably have better success though. I used to do this, but like I said, I got lazy. Since you say they are 100% males, first thing that comes to my mind is trying to monetize them with dating/adult offers... Could be a bad idea though, so best to just test different offers for maximum utilization of your fans.

If I were you I would transfer the page to an account you don't care about, and keep another admin on there in case something happens to the account your posting from. Facebook has shut down pages in the past for spamming, but it seems far and in between, and only really pages with a larger audience.. Unless you are getting reported really often.. I highly doubt the account will get banned, just penalized. In any case, good luck! Hope that was of sort of help lol.

Two questions:

1. How many pages do you have in each account?
2. Have you ever had a page taken down, and if so, did FB also take down other pages in your account?

5k Likes on a page is next to nothing, as faesthetic said, you will get very little traffic from it (if any). The way it works FB won't show your posts to all your fans, as far as I know your posts will show on 5%-10% of your fans newsfeeds. First try to post pictures for a month or two to increase the users interaction with the page (i.e post a picture and ask for likes or comments, etc). Your page rank will increase if people interact with it (high edgerank = more people will get to see your posts on their newsfeeds).
Don't post sexy/naked pictures, you WILL lose the page. If you post CPA links, remove them after an hour or so (you won't get anymore traffic after an hour anyway). When you post a CPA link, post a picture related to that offer and the link in description (pictures get higher position in newsfeed, text updates gets lower position).
FB delete pages based on complains/reports, so keep that in mind when you do your posts.
Posting using automated software/apps won't help, do it manually.

1. I actually currently have almost all my pages on one account (In total probably 70 pages, but a lot of small ones too.) It was a bad move I know now, but I've had them for a long while now. When I make new ones, I am usually on another account, and I don't transfer them to my main account anymore. Thing is, to use hootsuite to post on all the pages, they need to be on one account.
2. I have never had a single page taken down, but more times than I can count they have taken down content that I posted. I've also got blocked from posting multiple times from the reports, last time it was a 30 day block from posting I believe? That or a week. But that's the worst that has happened to me pertaining to the pages. I do know someone who had a lot of pages with a lot of fans who eventually got disabled from his page posts appearing in peoples timelines.
