If you haven’t heard ofFacebook 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. They are happy for people to advertise products and services to
their users, and have even setup their own ad serving platform
specifically for the purpose.
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.
