How Does Facebook Make Money? Despite having over two billion users on its platform, Facebook doesn't actually make any money on content or directly through its user base. ... All in all, the company earns about 85% of its money from advertising.

That's because we are the product.

notoriousbabe:
all na lie

ok

They run ads...

lilwetdick:


facebook do not make money from whatsapp but use the data from your whatapp messages for targetted ad on your facebook

Thanks for the information and education.

Facebook is a listed company. They have lots of products, including advertisements. They sell data. They host pages. And a lot more

lilwetdick:


facebook or opay dont make money from the data you buy from MTN and others, telecommunication and internet provider companies makes money from the data you buy from them

for facebook, the data they make money from is your profile and your messages, they analysed these data to provide better services for you and also to target ad to you

As for opay, that is a different business model, they make money from the services they offer, from also advertisement and also they also use your personal data to know how to better satisfy you
O
I think on airtel facebook is free to access, if possible, facebook can make accessing to your profile free of charge.

May u never lack, this simple thing almost led to them want to beat me,see a graduate for that matter.
Thanks

Since those platforms have huge fan base advertisers buy slots to feature their brands

I'm really curious. Please, can you enlighten me how Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, Youtube make their money?...

Mods, it would be great if this thread could make frontpage.

Advertising revenue
companies,firms& individuals promote their products,websites or services on these social media platforms & websites if they reach have a large audience(users)

A very good example is nairaland
nairaland is up and running from ad revenue ads are everywhere on nairaland

facebook you see posts that's says "sponsored"
(I always run into jiji &jumia ads on Facebook I am pretty sure you also have too)

YouTube 5-30 seconds ads come up before the video you get to the video you want to watch
ads are about to be introduced on WhatsApp

Google uses AdSense to place ads on website&apps to place their ads

that is my contribution
below is an example of an advert on nairaland

Facebook twitter nd instagram make money by being a social media influncer or through a sponsored post,company pay you to advertise their product to their followers eg janemena tundeednut etc.
You can earn earn money on YouTube if your account is monetized,you get paid by the number of views nd the number of people that click on your video ad.

If I watch videos from YouTube for instance, how will dey deduct my money? Or will dey share convert my data to money n use it? I thought it's network provider dat supposed to benefit from dat? Tro more light on dis traffic (click) of a thing,pls.

SOFTENGR:

And every click is sending something to someone's accept.

You shouldn't forget that most of this social media platform also sell users private info to different corporations.

GeoAfrikana:


They sell your info and behaviour data to companies who need it.

How do you think companies like hubspot get data for customer behaviour?

All those adverts na side-money. The real money is in selling info to businesses who need it for hacking their target customer's mindset.

Your research, knowledge, artificial intelligence, statistics, marketing, political campaign and technology is only as accurate as the information you have about your target object/person. Oyinbo man knows this and that's why they don't joke with data.

Why do you think US is against telegram and that ageing-app? It's because they're owned by Russians and that means they'll be giving data of US citizens to Russian government and companies.

As the popular saying goes:

very true,which is why ads relating to your most watched or researched topics pop up on your feeds in these sites. I noticed it has been more effective of late.pages relating to my most watched videos on Youtube pop up as sponsored ad on my IG.

hatchy:
They make their money thru the data you subscribe. The network providers (data network) pay their own part to the media where their data is used. There is an international settling arrangement or council where all these bills are settled just like the interbank settlement.

Therefore, any click you make on any site using data from network, the owners of the site make money.
It is called "pay per click"

My explanation may not be totally correct but that is the basic.

Very very incorrect. In fact, this your statement can cause world war.

raptex:
For real?!?

Yep, no free lunch in Freetown.

Bmaster:
sir, i don't mean to interrogate you, but can you lay more emphasies on what you've typed.
like, if i subscribe a 1.5GB Data at the cost of 1000 naira, and i use it all on nairaland, you mean the management of nairaland will share the 1k with my network provider ?
am confused.

Yes....
They make their claims.

Just like Glo is owning MTN for interconnectivity fee.

there are no stupid questions only dumb questions
