What to do with a Facebook page with ~45k likes

[Brrr]

To give a small amount of context, it's essentially a comedy/meme page for a tv show that I started years ago, that I just did for a bit of a laugh. Somebody kept on sending me content for it so I made him an admin for it and he makes 90% of the posts, it's pretty popular and people seem to really love it. It's only really active for ~3 month/year. The tv show is about baking, 80% women audience mostly in their 20s and 30s.

I was wondering if there was anything I could do to monetise it? I was thinking of maybe creating a cooking/recipe blog and try and direct traffic there but I don't know the first thing about blogs/websites and how you monetise them(but am very willing to learn). I would rather avoid just posting rubbish adverts as it's meant to just be some lighthearted fun, but the posts tend to get around 20-100k views and often 1k+ likes (around 5 a week), I have no idea if that has any value or not.

As I'm going into my "low" season in the next 6 months, I'll have a lot more time and I figured this could be a fun little side project and a good learning exercise. I also figured I could use this as a platform to push ice cream recipes ( I was going to set up an ice cream blog anyway) and it might then serve as a way to promote and market my main ice cream brand and company.

Would love to hear your thoughts/ideas on this.

A show related contest or giveaway that collects emails, then sell them baking stuff and related home goods?

I'd monetize it.

Make a print on demand t-shirts with the funny/fan quotes using teespring or printify. You could easily make $10 per shirt profit and you don't pay until you get the money.

For Facebook, they will only help monetize if you have a 3+ minute video on your page. If its just picture memes, it wont get any money. As far as Facebook, just upload your skits or whatever and monetize that way. Out of Facebook, maybe livestream on Twitch some of the time or set up a Patreon? Definitely Youtube as well.

The guy who owns it is a boss in the e-com world, he's called Kingpinning. He's been doing this for ages with huge profits. Search him on google and you'll see how he does it. But keep in mind there's a big chance you'll need to invest in fb ads.
