Most people use Facebook to share photos and stay in touch with friends, but did you know that you can use it to earn money as well? There are lots of ways to earn money on Facebook, from using link-type advertising programs to creating a fanpage and then selling the posts. You can even use Facebook to advertise and sell your products. If you are interested in making money using Facebook, then check out

THE BASICS

1. Make great posts.

The foundation of any successful plan to make money with social media is good content, and lots of it. On Facebook, that means a stream of interesting links, images, and updates every day.
Search for a niche and fill it with quality content. It doesn't have to be a niche nobody else is filling, but it should be specific enough that it's clear to the casual observer. For example, maybe you'll post content for cat lovers, mothers, or people with a certain political affiliation. If you plan to market a product with your account, be sure to link the product to your posts in some way.

2. Make a commitment to earn.

The only way to reliably make money using Facebook is through persistent work. Like any job, setting a schedule and sticking to it is the key.
'Organize'.
Whatever strategy you plan to pursue, you'll probably have to take care of several things every day to make it work for you. Plan out the order and times you'll do them in advance

MAKING MONEY THROUGH AFFILIATE ADVERTISING

1. Find an affiliate program or other link-type advertising program.

Affiliate programs provide you with a unique ID and marketing materials, and then pays you a commission based on how much business you generate. So try to find a Good Affiliate marketing website and start earning.
Most websites you've heard of offer such a program. Since there's no cost to the site for letting you do this, practically anybody can become an affiliate for as many sites as they want.

Start with well-known brands. Amazon offers a competitive affiliate program that pays a percentage of any purchase a person makes after clicking through from your post, even if it's not anything you advertised. Apple's iTunes program has an affiliate program as well.

Add in smaller programs. Though less likely to generate money on a given day, you can diversify and gradually increase your affiliate revenue by offering a wide range of advertising services to many different businesses.

2. Sign up.

Once you've decided to market a company as an affiliate, search the company's site and fill out the required forms. This should always be free, and usually only takes a few minutes.
Don't ever pay to become an affiliate.

3. Add accounts.

Make a Facebook account for each affiliate program or group of programs you sign up for. This allows people to follow your pages based on the things they're interested in, rather than having to sign up for one page full of all different kinds of ads.

4. Promote your programs.

Make posts for each of them daily, and maintain your accounts fastidiously. With luck, and a good central account with a lot of followers, your affiliate accounts will begin to get followers as well. Whenever anyone clicks your posts and buys something from one of your affiliates, you earn money.

MAKING MONEY THROUGH E-BOOK


1.Write an e-book.

E-books are just book-format publications that are distributed electronically, rather than printed on paper. Because there's basically no cost to publish an e-book, pretty much anybody with an idea can do it.
Take it easy on yourself. Unlike a paper-and-ink book, your e-book doesn't have to be any particular number of pages. In fact, most e-books that are written to generate income are more like e-pamphlets than whole books.
Choose a subject that will generate interest. Nonfiction is almost always a better choice than fiction. Oddly enough, e-books that tell people how to make money selling e-books are a popular option, and they apparently sell enough to at least offset the trouble of writing them.
Write in an area where you can claim some kind of authority. It'll add cachet to your book. You don't need to show credentials, but you should write about something you're better at than the average Joe.

2. Pick a publishing option.

There are a few free ways to get your e-book published.
The most basic option is to save the book as a PDF file, and lock it with a password that you send to people who buy your book. Once the password is out there, anyone with the password can open the book.
Createspace is an Amazon.com service that allows you to publish e-books for free on the Amazon website. It offers better usage protection than the PDF method, but can't be directly distributed from anywhere other than Amazon's website. Createspace also has a number of paid services and options available. To maximize your Facebook profit, avoid using them.
ReaderWorks is a program that easily formats and published e-books in Microsoft Reader format, one of the most common e-book formats on the web. The Basic version of the program doesn't offer any security, but it's free and easy to learn. There's a paid version of ReaderWorks that adds digital rights management (DRM) protection. Only opt in for the paid version if you're going to be making a lot of books with it.


SELL FANPAGE POST

So you have a big Facebook fan page but still not sure how to make money from it. Selling posts on your fan page is the easiest way to make money apparently.
Sign up with Shopsomethingdotcom and make sure you have minimum 1000 likes on your fan page.
Add your fan page to ShopSomething and confirm you're the owner of the page.
Set a price per post for your page. Now this is important, make sure you set the price correctly because No one would buy posts on your page if the price is too high.


TIPS
There is a huge demand of social media marketing. If someone is expert on social media, he/she can easily make money out of it.

Keep a maintenance log. Read the fine print! Many of the affiliate programs or other link-type money making programs have minimum login requirements or periodic email verification requests to weed out dormant accounts. Failure to maintain your account will result in a loss of earnings.

E-books aren't the only thing you can sell to your fans, they're just one of the most likely things. Be creative and think about what else you might be able to make for little or no money that you could advertise to your readers.

Thank you Sir.

There's no substitute for working hard. If you take time to cultivate and maintain a readership, the rest will take care of itself; on the other hand, if you just make a bunch of affiliate pages and sit back to wait for the money to roll in, you'll never succeed.

Your priority is to serve your followers/readers. As long as you have an audience, you will generally have advertisers. Don't focus on making money; focus on keeping/growing your audience, and money will come as a result.

Vwry insightlful post. Welldone
