Facebook
is a social networking site that is very popular. The social media site
connects friends and fellow workers together, and allows people to make
friends as well. There are ways to earn money on Facebook. Some methods work
better than others, and some are easier to implement than others.
The most straightforward way to earn money on Facebook is through their
social ads program. This can be likened a bit to Google's AdWords, the small
adverts that appear on the right-hand side of Google's search results pages.
The Facebook social ads don't have the same extensive reach, but they can be
much more focused, if you know how to target your audience properly.
Facebook social ads work through cost-per-click (CPC), or cost-per-impression
(CPM). This means that you either pay every time someone clicks one of your
ads, CPC, or you pay a rate for every thousand impressions, CPM, that is, for
every thousand viewers who see the advert regardless of how many actually
click on it.
If you have a product that you own, one that is likely to appeal to the kind
of person typically found on Facebook, you can sell it there. One way that
works is to offer the members a deal they can't get elsewhere. Put up a page
and tell them that if they buy it through your Facebook offer, they will get
a 25% discount, or whatever you want to offer it for.
Spend some time on Facebook to get to know your audience. Join relevant
groups and get noticed. Become known as the guy or gal who has a special
offer that only applies for Facebook people. If you work at it in a social
manner and you are not too pushy, you will probably be surprised at how easy
it can be to sell a product, and therefore earn money on Facebook.
You could make and sell Facebook applications. This can be easier than it
sounds. The Internet is full of information on how to build your own Facebook
application, but Facebook's own developer page at http://developers.facebook.com/
could be a good place to start.
You should check out as many existing applications as you can find to see the
sort of thing that is popular. Then the trick is to come up with an idea of
your own, or improve on an existing idea.
Once you have your Facebook application you give it away for free. The way
you can earn money on Facebook this way is not directly through the
application itself, but by offering advertising space on the application once
it becomes popular. The more popular it gets, the more money it can
potentially earn for you.
One easy way to earn money on Facebook is through use of an application
called Cash
Cliques . If you install the application on your Facebook page you can
earn some money by clicking on ads. You can also earn by referring people.
You will get paid for the ads they click on too. You won't earn a lot, but it
isn't difficult to do.
