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.
Consider opening up another Facebook account
and keeping it separate from your personal
account. Use this account for your posts, and link
them on your personal Facebook account to let
people know about them. Depending on the
approaches you use, you might even consider
using multiple extra accounts. NOTE: Facebook
will not allow multiple accounts using the same
email and/or phone number. You may even get a
request to verify a new facebook account through
a code texted to your phone.
Give it time. Let your account build up interest
over time by continuing to provide fresh and
relevant content every day.
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.
Saturate your market. Making money with
Facebook is more of a numbers game than
anything else. Since marketing on Facebook costs
nothing except time, you can market as much as
you want – even to a point that would be
prohibitively expensive any other way – and let the
percentages and statistics work their magic one
penny at a time.
Add aggressively. One of the best ways to
increase the number of people looking at your
page is to simply add people as friends as often
as you can. Most won't accept, but some will.

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.
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.
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.
As mentioned previously, you can use your
primary account to repost things from the other
accounts periodically, exposing those pages to
the audience you've built.
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.

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.
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.
Get your e-book online. Createspace will post
your book automatically. If you published it on
your own computer, you can sell it a few different ways:
Amazon will let you upload and sell your e-book
as a Kindle book for free. (Kindle is the brand
name of Amazon's popular e-reader product line.)
This option is called Kindle Direct Publishing , or
KDP.
On the plus side, KDP is fast and very
flexible. You can publish your book in about
5 minutes, and set sale royalties for yourself
as high as 70% (with Amazon taking the
other 30%).
On the other hand, KDP does not publish
your book for download outside of the
Kindle marketplace. Readers who don't use
Kindle won't be able to browse and
purchase your book.
eBay will let you list items for sale at a set price.
By offering a stock of “copies” of your e-book
available for purchase on eBay, you can turn the
venerable auction site into a de facto bookselling
hub.
The advantage of eBay is its simplicity.
Anyone with access to the site can
potentially purchase a copy of your book –
no special gadgets or software required.
The downside is the cost. eBay sets fees for
just about everything; they only get worse
when you set a fixed price point for
purchases. Some of the fees are
percentages, but others are flat, which can
really bite into your profit margin if you're
not careful.
Sell your e-book on Facebook. If you were wise
and wrote a book that caters to the audience
you've been building up with your primary account,
you've got a receptive, ready-made audience for your
sales pitch.
Advertise it several times a day, both blatantly
and at the end of other posts. Be creative and try
to engage your readers. Get them excited about
reading your book.
If you have other accounts (such as affiliate
accounts), advertise your book there, too.
Always provide a link for reader to click to visit
the page where they can purchase your book.

Create a Fan page if you don't already have it. So
you don't have a fan page yet? well you will need
to create one now because we're talking about making
money from facebook fan page here. Create a fanpage
about whatever you're interested in, like fishing, funny
page, traveling, etc.
Write good content. Write good content on your
fan page and engage as many as users possible.
Once your page starts getting good response and good
amount of likes, you can move to next step
Create a Website Related to your Fanpage. Now
create a website related to your fanpage topic if
you can afford everything.
You can create free websites as well.
Add contents to website and post on your
facebook page to get visitors to your site.
Add ads to make money and make sure your
website looks decent and not copied.
You should also add valuable content to your
website on the regular basis to get more and
more visitors.
Sell Fanpage posts. 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 Shopsomething.com 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.

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.
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.
