There are certainly other ways to make money on facebook by which you can earn much better amount. Although some of them require initial investment either monetary or time but you will get a lot of money in return.

#1. Earn Money Through Facebook Page

A facebook page has the potential to earn as much as a billion. The Indian startup Inshort was first started as a facebook page which later became a startup for sharing any news article in 60 words.

To earn money from a facebook fan page, first you must create one. And then follow this small guide.

How to earn money from facebook page

Step-1: Find A Niche

You must be clear from day one that you have to make money from your fb page. For that, you must know the potential of a niche which will help you to earn money and your interest in the topic.

For example, an affiliate marketing fan page will generate a decent earning from websites like amazon.

Earning from a facebook page is not a fortnight work. It is also important that you must have the basic knowledge about the field so that you can create content for your fans and inspire other people to like your page.

Step-2: Publish Content On Your Facebook Page

Start sharing content. Your content should be such that people read/watch and share.

Facebook pages are said to have a low organic reach and people often forget you if you are not consistent.

You must have a pre-written pool of content. Also, you should schedule your posts so that if you are busy somewhere, your page will still keep running.

You can schedule your social media posts with apps like Buffer and HootSuite.

Step-3: Make Relationship

In marketing relationship building is compulsory. You will get your first payment from collaborative promotions or as sponsored posts. Sponsored post means that you get paid to write (and post) about a brand, on your fb page.

Or, you can make money by posting links of other brands.

Step-4: Make More Money

If you have a decent fan base and have developed a name in the town, you can apply to the affiliate programs to earn more money. Few famous affiliate providers are clickbank, cj, shareasale, amazon etc.

#2. Sell Products On Facebook To Make Money

You can use facebook’s make an offer feature to earn money by selling products.

Put the link of your product in the link box and give a coupon code to offer a discount on the product.

You can also use an affiliate link from any e-commerce site and attach a coupon code (not necessary if the company does not offer a discount). Your fans will buy the product from your link and you will earn money through the affiliate.

You can put the paid links on facebook from any of the websites, Amazon, Flipkart, Snapdeal, or whichever provides a commission on their earning.

Earn more on offers by promoting on facebook:

• Give an attractive offer like 10-15% discount or buy one get one free. Your offer should be competitive or better than your competitors.
• Promote this offer with facebook paid ads.
• Or, involve influential facebook pages or people to promote your offer.

#3. Freelance Facebook Marketer Earns Well

You can earn $50 per hour by becoming a freelance facebook marketer.

The skills required to become a freelance facebook marketer are:

• Analyse facebook stats. You must be able to predict with data analysis that, which type of posts work better on which day of the week. Marketing can become successful only if we are able to measure the stats. Like google has their analytics for websites, facebook has its own analytics for pages.
• Ability to make marketing strategies and decisions. A marketing campaign cannot be successful without a strategic planning. An effective marketer knows what will be the results of a campaign at the end of the month.
• Ability to create a facebook friendly content. For example, posts with 40 characters on facebook get 86% more engagement. You must know which type of content works better in a situation.

Other Ways To Make Money On Facebook

#4. Become Influencer

You can also earn money becoming an influencer with your normal profile. If posts on your facebook wall get decent likes and comments, becoming an influencer is a good way to earn money.

Also if you have a fan following and you interact with them through your personal profile, then you can make money by signing up through an influencer account on blogmint.com or fromote.com to start earning.

After signing up, you will be required to fill a form where you will enter your profile information and you can fix price as an influencer. For example, you may charge 5,000 per facebook post giving emphasis to a brand.

#5. Earn Money Through Facebook Apps

You can earn money by becoming a facebook app developer. Or, you can develop a facebook app independently. In your app you can earn money by applying for banner ads or you can sell virtual goods of your own or from some gaming companies like  EA, Zynga, Popcap etc.

#6. Earn Money By Account Selling

You can earn money by selling your old facebook accounts. Earlier it had become a trend to make more than one account. But now marketers are buying those accounts for their promotional purpose as facebook gives more weightage to an old account.

Similarly, you can sell your old facebook group or page with a good number of fan base.

#7. Earn Money From Facebook Group

You can make a facebook group. Try to make a group with more than 10k members and a good engagement in conversation around a niche. Keep the members engaged with relevant questions, blog posts, images, polls etc.

You can earn money on facebook group by,

• Paid surveys
• Sponsored content.
• Selling your own product/book/services.
• Affiliate marketing.

Over To You

Making money from facebook is a little tricky. Facebook does not allow organic promotion to a large number of fans. But the trick here is, if you can keep your audiences engaged, you can win the organic reach to a much larger extent.

How To Make Money with Amazon Native Shopping Ads

Have you been considering replacing AdSense with something that pays you more? Are you tired of low paying advertisements & earning less than you should be from your blog?

Well today, I’ve got something very interesting to share with you which can help you make a lot of money.

In particular, if you have a niche blog & get a lot of traffic from the U.S.A, this new ad monetization network can do wonders for you.

Amazon has always been (and still is) a popular choice among publishers because of their Affiliate program.

For more on Amazon Associates, read:

• How to make money with the Amazon affiliate program
• How to create Amazon affiliate link (Beginner’s Guide)

Recently, Amazon has launched many new types of ads which you can use to monetize your blog.

One of them is Amazon Native Shopping Ads.

In this guide, I will share everything you need to know about getting started with Amazon Native Shopping Ads. I would suggest you try this ad type for 2-4 weeks & see how it works out for you.

What are Amazon Native Shopping Ads & how do they work?

Amazon Native Shopping Ads are similar to AdSense in terms of showing contextual ads.

It shows relevant ads based on the page where ads are being displayed. Once you place the ad codes on your blog (you only need to do this once), it automatically scans the content of the page & displays products based on the keywords used within the article.

Unlike AdSense, here you will be earning money for actual sales.

Remember: Amazon also pays for other products purchased by your referred users.

To make it easy for you to understand, here’s an example:

• Let’s say you have a visitor named Paul:

1. Paul clicks on one of the ads (Native Shopping Ads) on your blog & goes to the Amazon site via your link
2. He purchases any product on Amazon
3. You get a commission of 4% – 8% (depending upon volume)

Now let’s say the product that Paul purchased cost $100:

• 4% of $100: $4

This is a typical scenario. If Paul decides not to purchase the product recommended by you, but instead purchases 10 different products worth a total of $1000, you will still be earning 4% of his total purchase.

• 4% of $1000: $40

You are earning $40 from just one referral.

In case you didn’t know, Amazon is the top e-commerce site in the world & their conversion rate is much higher than most every other e-commerce site.

In short:

Amazon Native Shopping Ads is #AdSense on steroids!

At the time of this writing, there are three variants of Amazon Native Ads:

• Recommendation Ads: Allows Amazon to automatically recommend the best-matched products based on your web page content and your visitors.
• Search Ads: Allows you to drive recommendations based on a search phrase determined by you or your visitor.
• Custom Ads: Allows you to specify the products from Amazon.com that you want to promote.

Ads are responsive, so it will work with all screen sizes.

One limitation is that Native Ads are only available for the Amazon U.S. program.  You might want to use a geo-targeted ad server such as DPF to serve up your ads. (If you know of other solutions to show ads based on a user’s geographic location, do let us know in the comment section).

Before you move ahead, you might want to spend 5 minutes reading the FAQ about this new monetization offering from Amazon.

Getting started with Amazon Native Shopping Ads:

In this section you will learn:

• How to create ad codes for Native Shopping Ads
• Tricks to make your ads more relevant
• Implementing ad codes on your WordPress site (or any other website)

If you have an existing Amazon affiliate account, you can get started right away. If not, you will need to apply for one first.

Head over to this page & click on “Create Ad Code”. You can select from three ad types & for this tutorial I have selected “Recommendation Ads”:

On the next page, you have the option to select categories from which you want the products to be displayed.

This is an important step because if you show products relevant to your website content, you are more likely to make more conversions.

As you can see in the above image, I have selected the categories which are relevant to my blog (technology blog). Once you have done this, scroll down & configure the rest of the options which are pretty straight forward.

Once this is done, all you need to do is place the ad codes on your blog. If you are using WordPress, you can use the plugin Ad Inserter. This is a free plugin & will allow you to place ads anywhere in your blog.

Here is how I have used this plugin to place Amazon ads after my content:

Another plugin that you can use is the Ad Injection plugin for WordPress . When I placed the ad codes on my tech blog (ShoutMeTech), it started displaying ads instantly.

Note: If you are going to place Amazon Display Ads on multiple different websites, I suggest creating a tracking ID for all of your blogs. This is going to be pretty useful when measuring the performance of each blog.

Here Is How Your Company Blog Can Make Money Without AdSense

Are you a web design company or a business with a blog? Do you want to make money from your blog without affecting your business’s sales?

If you are using, or are planning on using AdSense, I recommend that you don’t. One of the major problems with AdSense on a business website is it may show an ad from one of your competitors, and you will lose out on a valuable lead for a few measly cents. I have talked about this in detail before.

Instead, you need to find a way that you can make money without negatively affecting your business.

How To Make Money From Your Business Blog & Not Lose A Lead:

So now that AdSense and other contextual ad networks like Chitika and Infolinks are out of the equation, what can we do?

(Note: Contextual ad = Advertisement shown based on page content)

The ideas that I have shared below will help you build relations and connect with authorities in your industry. As a result, you will make money.

White Label (or Private Label) Reseller

Suppose you have a web hosting company.

Your customer who is buying hosting from you might require services to design & create their website. They may need a social media/digital marketing company to market & promote their website as well as an SEO company for SEO related services.

In short, anything that will help them build & grow their website will potentially be of value to them.

You can partner with the other “good guys” in your industry who offer such services to become that company’s white label reseller. This way, that company will get more clients, and you will be selling more services under your brand name (i.e. making money).

For example:

A web design or social-media company can start a reseller hosting business (costing less than $40) by selling domains and hosting to their customers. This way, the customer stays in the brand’s ecosystem, and this company can become the customer’s 360* solution.

• Fact: All big multi-national companies use this technique to become a global company. World-class companies like IBM/Accenture/Convergys/etc. sub-lease their projects to other firms.

To get started with this, you need to talk to the marketing and/or business development people of the companies you want to become a white label reseller for. If you are a well-established name in the industry, I suggest talking to the CEO or founder directly.

Tip: Some companies will not have a private label program yet, but if you explain how it can help both of you, there is always a first time for anything. You can also create a private page or .pdf document explaining your offering & use it to pitch to companies.

• How do you let the customer know about these add-on services?

To start with, have a page set up on your website providing these services, and all leads via the contact form will go to a collaborated email address.

Alternatively, since all leads are being generated on your platform, it’s safe to keep them under your brand banner. You can create an email address like service@domain.com or work@domain.com (learn how to create such email addresses for free) & share the login details with the other company.

For the first timer, it will take a few months to build the perfect workflow, but once trust is built with the company, you will have a good arrangement to speed up & automate this process.

Most progressive companies won’t deny your offer. It’s a win-win situation for both of you.

At times, however, traditional companies won’t get into such deals until they are sure your blog can deliver enough sales. This is where your social & negotiation skills come into play.

• Tip: Look for companies around you. See which companies have offered you quality services in the past, and see if their services fit into your business offering. Much of the time the best collaborations are with freelancers or small start-ups that you have worked with in the past.

But do remember, your goal here is to work and grow together.

Affiliate Marketing

White label reselling is good, but not necessarily the best way to go.

For example, one of my friends is a life-coach & a fashion blogger. White label reselling might not fit so well with her existing business model.

If this is your kind of situation, you can monetize your blog using affiliate marketing. This is more or less the same as running ads, but the difference is that you are in complete control of the ads.

And unlike white label reselling, instead of offering services, you direct users to another brand. On successful conversions, you earn money.

Example:

If you are a web design company who offers website design services, you can join a web hosting affiliate program & earn anywhere between $50-$200 per successful conversion simply by recommending something your client may need.

One important thing that you want to keep in mind: Your recommended companies should not be offering any of the services that you are also offering.

Tip: You can check out this extensive eBook on affiliate marketing for more information. This book covers everything you need to know about affiliate marketing & making money from your blog.

For your business blog, you can create a “resources” page like this, and recommend some of the best affiliate products that are relevant to your customers.

To find the best product to promote, ask yourself this question: What product or service does my customer/client need immediately after my services?

Advertisement Page

No blogger can deny the importance of an advertisement page.

In the marketing industry, it’s called a Media-Kit.

Having an advertisement page opens the door for possible advertisers who may see value in advertising their product or service on your site. Eventually, it’s your call whether or not to entertain any possible advertisement offer.

In general: A direct advertisement can do wonders for your overall income.

Did you know ShoutMeLoud earns $20K every year from a single direct advertisement? (Check here.)

This wouldn’t have been possible without the advertisement page which is located here. It helps advertisers know the potentials of advertising on my blog, and gives other necessary details to help them make an informed decision.

If you don’t have an “Advertise Here” page on your blog, I suggest you make one right now. Here are the 15 best Media-Kit pages to help you find inspiration for your own.

There are many more ideas which you can use to monetize your business or company blog.

But you should always:

Maintain complete control of what ads are being displayed on your blog.

I would recommend focusing on affiliate marketing as it’s the quickest way to earn a huge amount of money from a quality blog. And making an advertisement page will pay off in the long run. White-label reselling can happen and be profitable, but you need to identify a good company to work with.
