Facebook is not a hidden treasure location, but Facebook can be a source of additional income if used carefully. Read the following steps to learn how to make money with Facebook.
Step
Method 1 of 5: Basic Steps
Step 1. Make a great post
The foundation of the success of your plan to make money on social media is a lot of good content. On Facebook, good content means a variety of interesting links, images, and daily updates.
- Find a niche market and post good content related to that niche. The niche you choose doesn't need to be rare, but it should still be specific enough for casual visitors to understand. For example, you might want to post content for cat lovers, moms, or members of a certain political party. If you plan to market products with your account, make sure you link your products to your posts at all costs.
- Consider opening another Facebook account separate from your personal account. Use this account to post posts, and link to your personal Facebook account to share them. Depending on your approach, you may want to consider creating a few additional accounts. However, Facebook does not allow you to open multiple accounts with the same email address/phone number. You will even be asked to verify your Facebook account with a code sent to your mobile number.
- Wait a moment. Send fresh and relevant content every day to your account to make it interesting.
Step 2. Commit to making money
The only way to earn money on Facebook for sure is to work hard. Like any other job, the key is to make a time plan and stick to it.
- Manage your time. Whatever strategy you use, you still need to do a few other things for your strategy to work. Plan the work order and time before you work.
- Fulfill your market. The key to making money on Facebook is a numbers game. Since you only need time to market on Facebook, you can do as much marketing as you want - even if yours could be too expensive to do any other way - and let the numbers and percentages work over time.
- Add friends aggressively. One of the best ways to increase the number of people viewing your page is to add as many friends as possible. Most people probably won't accept your friend request, but some people will.
Method 2 of 5: Making Money with Affiliate Advertising and Similar Link Based Advertising
Step 1. Find an affiliate program or other link-based advertising program
The affiliate program will provide you with a unique ID number and advertising materials, then pay you based on the sales of your ID. Find a good affiliate marketing site and start making money from there.
- Most well-known sites offer this program. Since there are no fees for these sites to make you part of their affiliate, anyone can become an affiliate of as many sites as they want.
- Start with well-known sites. Amazon offers a competitive affiliate program and pays you a few percent of the purchases a visitor makes from your link, even if the visitor doesn't buy the item you advertise. Apple iTunes also provides the same affiliate program.
- Join smaller affiliate programs. While these programs are less likely to generate money, you can expand and increase the returns you get from affiliates by offering different advertising services to different businesses.
Step 2. Register on the site
Once you have decided to become a marketer for a company as an affiliate, search the company's website and fill out the required forms. Affiliate programs are usually free, and it only takes a few minutes to sign up for them.
Never pay to join an affiliate program
Step 3. Add an account
Create a Facebook account for each affiliate program or group of programs you join. The different accounts allow people to follow accounts about their interests only, instead of following pages that contain different types of ads.
As previously explained, you can use your main Facebook account to periodically post content from other accounts to expose content to the audience you have built
Step 4. Promote your program
Post for each program every day, and maintain your account carefully. With luck and a main account with lots of followers, your affiliate accounts will start to get followers too. When someone clicks on your post and buys an item from your affiliate, you will earn money.
Method 3 of 5: Making Money with e-Books
Step 1. Write an e-Book
E-books are book-format publications that are distributed online, rather than printed on paper. Since you don't have to pay to publish an e-Book, anyone with an idea can publish an e-Book.
- No need to work too hard to create an e-Book. Unlike printed books, e-books do not have a minimum page limit. In fact, most e-Books used to make money are more like digital pamphlets than full books.
- Choose an interesting subject. Usually, making a nonfiction e-Book is better than making a fiction e-Book. Surprisingly, the e-Books that tell people how to make money selling e-Books are popular e-Books, and sell enough to be worth the effort you put into writing them.
- Write an e-Book in a field you understand to increase the credibility of your book. You don't have to show your credentials, but you should write about what you can do better than most people.
Step 2. Select the option to publish the ebook
There are several free ways to publish your ebook.
- The most basic option is to save the book as a PDF file, locking it with the password you give your book buyer. Once the password is out, anyone with the password can open your book.
- Createspace is a service from Amazon that allows you to publish ebooks for free on the Amazon site. Createspace offers better usage protection than the PDF method, but can't be distributed anywhere other than Amazon. Createspace also has several paid services and options. To increase the profits you get from Facebook, avoid Createspace.
- ReaderWorks is a program that can easily format and publish your book to Microsoft Reader format. This format is one of the most common eBook formats on the internet. The Basic version of the program doesn't offer any security options, but it can be downloaded for free and is easy to learn. There is also a paid option from Readerworks that adds Digital Rights Management (DRM) protection, but only buy this version if you plan on creating a lot of books.
Step 3. Upload your eBook
Createspace will upload your e-Book directly. If you publish it on your computer, you can sell it in several ways:
-
Amazon will allow you to upload and sell your eBooks as Kindle books for free (Kindle is a successful eBook reader product from Amazon). This service is called Kindle Direct Publishing or KDP.
- The advantage, KDP is very flexible. You can publish your book in 5 minutes, and set royalties up to 70%. Amazon will deduct 30% of your book sales.
- The downside is that KDP doesn't publish your book for download outside of the Kindle Marketplace. Readers who do not have a Kindle will not be able to access and purchase your books.
-
eBay allows you to advertise items for a fixed price. By offering a copy of your book on eBay, you can make this auction site your primary selling point,
- The advantage, eBay is very easy to operate. Anyone with access to eBay can buy your book -- they don't need to use a particular device or software.
- The downside is that eBay charges almost everything you do there, and it gets even more expensive if you set a fixed price for each purchase. Some rates are calculated on a percentage basis, but others are fixed, and will cost you money if you're not careful.
Step 4. Sell your book on Facebook
If you're good at spotting loopholes and writing books that match the interests of the audience you've built, you'll have an audience ready to accept your book.
- Advertise your book several times a day, either directly or indirectly at the end of your post. Make creative posts and engage your followers. Get them interested in reading your book.
- If you have another account, such as an affiliate account, also advertise your book on that account.
- Always provide readers with a link to visit the book purchase page.
Method 4 of 5: Making Money with Facebook Pages
Step 1. Create a fan page if you haven't already
You need to create a fan page because this section discusses how to make money from a Facebook page. Create a fan page about your interests, such as fishing, humor, traveling, etc.
Step 2. Write good content on your fan page and engage as many users as possible
Once your page starts to get a good response and is liked by many people, you can move on to the next step.
Step 3. Create a site related to your fan page if you can
- You can also create a free site.
- Add content to your site, and post the link to your Facebook page to invite visitors to your site.
- Add ads to earn money, and make sure your site looks neat and not plagiarized.
- Always add good content on your site to invite as many visitors as possible.
Step 4. If you have a large fan page but are still confused about how to make money from it, sell posts on your fan page
Selling posts is the easiest way to make money from fan pages.
- Sign up at Shopsomething.com and make sure your Facebook page is liked by 1000 people or more.
- Add your page to Shopsomething and confirm that you own the page.
- Set the price per post for your page. The price is very important; make sure you set the price right because if you set it too high no one will buy the post on your fan page.
Method 5 of 5: Making Money with Facebook Market of Posts/Fanpages
Step 1. Be the owner of Facebook Posts Market or Facebook Fanpages Market, and earn money by selling user's posts or pages
Installation steps are included with both scripts, and even if you don't understand PHP or HTML, you can still install them. Administration of both does not require programming language skills so anyone can set up and provide Facebook Markets.
Tips
- Job opportunities for marketers on social media are very wide. If a person becomes a social media expert, he can make a lot of money!
- Keep maintenance records and read the details of each service. Many affiliate programs or other link-based programs have a minimum login limit or periodic email verification to remove dead accounts. If you forget to maintain your account, your income may decrease.
- You can't just sell ebooks to fans; e-books are just one of the things you can sell. Be creative and think about what you can sell with as little capital to your readers as possible.
- Nothing can replace hard work. If you work hard to develop and maintain a readership, the rest will follow -- but if you just create affiliate pages and do nothing else, you won't be successful.
- Your priority is to serve your followers/readers. As long as you have readers, you will definitely have advertisers. Don't focus on making money, focus on maintaining and growing your readership, and money will come as a result.
