I have been researching the common application a little bit and am now at the extracurriculars section. I am trying to decide whether or not to include a certain activity.
I am a person who is interested in the business world and was always trying different ways to make money. This lead me to finding one of my passions.
I started a Apple/Tech related Facebook fan page in 8th grade and spent a good amount of time making quality posts and working to grow the fan base. In 10th grade I had grown this fan page to about 260k fans and had multiple tech companies advertising on my page (pinchmultimedia, TechDaily) and had requests from many others. I was making maybe around 200 - 700 dollars a month from this page depending on who I had advertising.
My question is: Would it be a good idea to list this under extracurriculars, a different section, or just leave it out completely.
Any ideas are welcome!
Seems like a fine extracurricular to me. What are the other options in terms of where to talk about it?

To be honest I couldn’t tell you… the common application doesn’t open until August 1st so I haven’t had a chance to take a good look at it. I am almost debating putting it under work experience (which is also under extracurricular activities,) as I was paid to maintain a quality page so that my advertisers could benefit from ads. Don’t know :-? I am also applying to a couple of Ivies - not HYP - and don’t want them to laugh it off. Sounds stupid but it is a concern I have.
My personal opinion is that I would reserve the category of ‘Work Experience’ for activities in which you had a boss or supervisor and were expected to show up and perform to their standards.
Why do you think they will “laugh it off”?
The only reason I thought they might laugh it off is because it might look like I’m just trying to fill space. In all honesty I don’t have 10 meaningful extracurricular activities, but this was a significant part of my fresh - soph year.
Also because it pales in comparison to the achievements of most other ivy applicants. 
If you spent a lot of time on it, I’d use it as an EC.
Thanks for your advice @JustOneDad, it is greatly appreciated!
