HOW TO MAKE MONEY THROUGH FACEBOOK

How To Make Money through
Facebook
If you haven’t heard of Facebook
by now, you must be one of the
few people on the planet who
hasn’t. It’s one of the biggest
social networking sites on the
internet, and as such it offers a
great way to get in touch with
like minded people who have
similar interests to you.
But while many social
networking sites don ’t
particularly like blatant
advertising on their pages,
Facebook doesn’t fall into that
group. There are ways and
means to do most things online,
and with Facebook the answer is
in attracting the right kind of
people to your profile page.
There is one other main feature
that makes Facebook well worth
looking at for making money
though, and that will be revealed
if you read the rest of this entry.

Once you have signed up to
Facebook your first step should
be to think about how you want
to present yourself. I say that
because you don ’t have to be
yourself in order to make money
from Facebook. Don ’t forget that
you want to attract the attention
of a specific group of people here,
so that you become known as
someone who is something of an
expert on one particular subject.
So choose wisely!
Go for a popular niche that you
have an interest in yourself, and
develop your persona in that
area. If you already have
something of a web presence in
this area then you ’ll find it will
help you as more and more
people become aware of who you
are and what you know about.
Your first port of call, if you have
anything second hand to sell
which is related to your niche, is
the Marketplace. It ’s free to place
ads in the Marketplace and there
is no limit on how many you can
place, so if for example you come
across a bargain lot of books on
your subject on eBay or at a yard
sale you can list them all
individually on Facebook and sell
them on for a profit.
If you have a budget to spend on
advertising and you have some
external websites you want to
promote, you can try out the
Social Ads to see what benefits
you get from them. It is well
worth reading through the
relevant help section to see what
is involved though, as it is quite
in depth.
The main benefit to being a
member of Facebook is that you
can build and use any number of
applications to perform certain
tasks on your profile page.
Facebook doesn’t frown at users
making money from their
Facebook page, and indeed many
people link in to other websites
outside of Facebook itself. People
are constantly building new
applications and many of them
are used by many different users
to create pages that appeal to
their own particular needs.
This is partly why you will
succeed in making more money
from Facebook if you brand
yourself carefully before you get
started on the site. Figure out
what it is you want to do and
what you want to achieve. If you
already have a website up and
running then you will be able to
link into that, so keep the look
and feel of your Facebook page in
the same vein as your site.
But while you can link to other
sites outside of Facebook, some
people also sprinkle some affiliate
links on their actual Facebook
page itself. For example, some
quick research revealed one
person who links into a range of
ClickBank products on their page
and does well from doing so.
So long as you start from a strong
position with a particular focus
and brand in mind, you can do
well by experimenting with all
the benefits that Facebook offers.
Take time to build up a network
of friends and make sure you
become known for being an
expert in your particular sphere
of interest.
