How to Make Money on Facebook

Facebook is quickly growing to become one of the web's largest social network applications, and it's now possible to start making money for your blog, website or products by promoting and marketing it on various communities. Instead of simply spamming friends, family and colleagues, Facebook offers unique tools that can help you build traffic to your site and make money for your business. Here's how to make money with Facebook.


Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Setup your Business Facebook account. If you already have a Facebook account, you only need to select a business name. This will give you a separate profile to work with.

  2. Step 2

    Add your profile information. dd your business logo or screenshot of your site for the image, include a URL back to your main site, and add any necessary information to distinguish your profile from the rest.

  3. Step 3

    Add interests. Add interests that other Facebook users can find you with; think of keywords that apply to your business, site, blog or industry.

  4. Step 4

    Add your RSS feed. You can enter an RSS feed to the "Notes" section. Click on "Applications" on the left hand side of the page and follow the steps to add an RSS link.

  5. Step 5

    Sell items in the Marketplace. If you're already selling products on your website, add the same listings on the Marketplace section. You can also list items with your affiliate links here.

  6. Step 6

    Increase traffic by linking to quality content. Create pages and notes on your Facebook account that link back to websites with a high Page Rank. Google and other search engines can increase your own PR after they crawl your Facebook profile and find your main website linked to it.

  7. Step 7

    Network with groups and members daily. Maintain an active presence on Facebook so that people can identify with your business, blog or website and keep up with your notes and postings.

Tips & Warnings

  • Consistency is important for your success on Facebook; plan to update your profile page, add new links, and network with others in the community on a weekly basis.
  • Facebook has over 80 million active users; it's a great opportunity to promote anything to a large audience.
  • Don't spam people with irrelevant material; always make sure your efforts complement the group's or person's interests.
  • Exercise caution if you're trying to build an affiliate network by recruiting people on Facebook; some people may consider this to be offensive.
  • Be careful about the number and type of affiliate products you promote; you do not want to lose readers or viewers because you're providing too much or irrelevant content!
