Facebook is not a goldmine you should stumble upon, but it can be a reliable form of extra income, with a little effort and a smart approach. Read the following steps to learn how to make money with Facebook.

To step

Method 1 of 3: To get started

1. Post great posts. The foundation of any successful social media monetization plan is good content, and lots of it. On Facebook that means a daily stream of interesting links, images.
   • Search for a niche and fill it with high-quality content. It doesn't have to be a unique niche, but it needs to be specific enough that it is immediately apparent to the casual passer-by. You may want to post content for cat lovers, moms, or people with a certain political affiliation. If you plan to market a product with your account, make sure to link this product to your posts in some way.
   • If necessary, open another Facebook account and keep it separate from your personal account. Use these for your posts, and link them to your personal Facebook account to notify people. Depending on your approach, you might even consider applying for multiple additional accounts.
   • Give it time. It takes time to generate enough interest for your account by ensuring a constant flow of fresh, new and relevant content every day.
2. Make an appointment with yourself to earn money. The only reliable way to make money with Facebook is to work persistently. As with any job, it's important to plan and stick to it.
   • To organize. Whatever your strategy, you will probably have to do several things every day to make it work. Plan the sequence and when you want to complete them.
   • Saturate your market. Making money on Facebook is more about numbers than anything. Since marketing on Facebook costs nothing but money, you can do as much marketing as you want - even to the point where it would cost an absurd amount of money in any other way - and let the magic of the percentages and statistics do their slow work .
   • Add as many friends as possible. One of the best ways to increase the number of people visiting your page is to simply add as many friends as you can.

Method 2 of 3: Making money with affiliates

1. Find an affiliate program. Affiliate programs give you a unique ID and marketing materials, and then pay you commission based on the number of customers you generate.
   • Most websites you know offer such a program. With practically no fees, almost anyone can become an affiliate for as many sites as you want.
   • Start with famous brands. Amazon offers a competitive affiliate program that pays a percentage of every purchase a person makes after clicking through your posts, even if it's something you're not advertising. Apple's iTunes program also has an affiliate program.
   • Add smaller programs to it. Although these will probably generate less money per day, it is possible to diversify your offer and thus increase your income from affiliates.
2. Sign In. Once you've decided to work as an affiliate for a particular company, search the company's site and fill out the required forms. This should always be free and usually only takes a few minutes.
   • Never pay to be an affiliate.
3. Add accounts. Create a Facebook account for any affiliate program or groups of programs you sign up for. This allows people to follow you based on their interests, instead of signing up for a page with all kinds of different ads.
   • As already mentioned, it is possible to use your primary account to regularly repost posts from the other accounts, allowing you to show them to your new readership.
4. Promote your different accounts. Post daily for each account and maintain them with care. With a bit of luck and a good central account with a lot of followers, your affiliate accounts will start getting followers too. Every time someone clicks on your post and buys something from one of your affiliates, you make money.

Method 3 of 3: Make money with an E-book

1. Write an e-book. E-books are simply book-format publications that are distributed electronically, rather than on paper. Since there is practically no cost to publish an e-book, almost anyone with an idea can do it.
   • Make yourself comfortable. Unlike a book made of paper and ink, your e-book does not have to consist of a certain number of pages. In fact, most e-books are more e-pamphlets than full-blown books.
   • Choose a topic that will catch the readers' attention. Non-fiction is almost always a better choice than fiction. Strangely, e-books that tell people how to make money by selling e-books are a popular option, and you can apparently earn enough to make writing the books worthwhile.
   • Write about a topic in which you have demonstrable experience. This is where you add some extra style to your book. You don't have to add references, just write about something you know more about than the average reader.
2. Choose a way to publish your eBook. There are a few free options.
   • The default option is to save your book as a PDF and secure it with a password that you send to those people who have purchased the book. Once the password is in the free space, anyone who has the password can open the e-book.
   • Createspace is an Amazon.com service that allows you to publish e-books on the Amazon website for free. It offers better security than the PDF method, but unfortunately you can't just publish the book outside of Amazon's website. Createspace also has a number of paid options and services. Don't go into that to maximize your profit.
   • ReaderWorks is a program where you can easily design and publish e-books in Microsoft Reader format, one of the best-known file formats for e-books on the Internet. The standard version of the program offers no security, but it is free and easy to learn. There is also a paid version of ReaderWorks that adds digital rights management (DRM) protection. Only go for the paid version if you plan to make a lot of books with this system.
3. Place your e-book online. Createspace automatically places your book. If you made the book on your own PC, you can sell it in several ways:
   • Amazon offers you the option to upload and sell your book as a Kindle for free. (Kindle is the brand name of Amazon's popular e-reader.) This option is called Kindle Direct Publishing, or KDP.
     • A plus is that KDP is fast and flexible. You published your book in 5 minutes and get a 70% royalty (Amazon gets the other 30%).
     • On the other hand, your book will not be published outside of Amazon and can only be downloaded from Amazon. Readers without a Kindle will not be able to find and purchase your book.
   • EBay allows you to list items for sale at a fixed price. By selling "copies" of your eBook through eBay, you can turn this well-known auction site into an actual book retailer.
     • The advantage of eBay is its simplicity. Anyone with access to the site can basically buy a copy of your book - it doesn't require any special gadget or software.
     • A downside are the costs. eBay charges fees for almost everything; this gets worse when you set a fixed price for purchases. Some of the fees are percentages, but others are fixed, which can really blow a hole in your profit margin if you're not careful.
4. Sell ​​your ebook on Facebook. If you've been wise to write a book that fits the audience you've built with your primary account, you'll have a receptive, ready audience for your sales pitch.
   • Shamelessly advertise it several times a day, and put it at the end of every post. Be creative and try to get your readers excited about reading your book.
   • If you have other accounts (such as affiliate accounts), advertise your book there as well.
   • Always have a link for your readers to click to the page where they can buy your book.

Tips

• There is a huge demand for social media marketing. If someone is an expert in social media, he / she can easily make a lot of money with it.
• Ebooks aren't the only thing you can sell to fans, they're just one of the most obvious options. Get creative and think about what you could make for little or no money that you can advertise with.
• It is not an alternative to hard work. If you take the time to build and maintain a readership, the rest will take care of itself; on the other hand, if you just create a few affiliate pages and sit back and wait for the money to roll in, you will never be successful.
