How You Can Make Money On Facebook

You can make money on Facebook. In fact you can do it on any social media platform. I am going to show you how to do it. There are also many DO’s and DONT’S when it comes to this process. We will explore them in this article. It is important that you understand a little technical language before we start. So let’s deal with this first.

Technical Stuff

Affiliate programs are great but you need to know how they work. What happens when you create an affiliate account is you are given a special code associated with that account. Then URL’s are generated for you to get credit for sales. These URL’s are dynamic links. For example if you were an affiliate for abc.com then your affiliate link may look something like this. abc.com/p.php?=your_code_here. When someone visits a site using your special link you get credit for a sale and make a commission off of it.

If you are linking to a direct product page it works the same way. Here is an example of what a link could look like with your special code in it. abc.com/fidget-spinner.php?=your_code_here

Some affiliate programs get more technical and rewrite their URL’s in encryption. They could look like ndn34fd.abc.com/figet. Do not be alarmed. This is also another normal way in which companies that offer affiliate programs generate URL’s for affiliates.

You will be given a dashboard with your account. There you can test to make sure that your affiliate links are working. Usually they will show clicks and counts. This lets you know that your links are working and you are getting credit for it. If you are not offered a dashboard to monitor the traffic you generate then do not use that program. You need to be able to see the progress you make with your advertisements.

How To Make Money On Facebook

After you have registered on your affiliate networks look for some things that are meaningful to your friends and family on social media. Also sometimes affiliate links themselves are not permitted on Facebook. So if you just enter your affiliate link thinking you are going to make some money you may lose your Facebook account. Facebook frowns on that kind of marketing because it is not meaningful or engaging.

Get Creative

Get creative with your ads and links on Facebook. Don’t think that people are just going to buy if you put a link there. Make your image stand out so that when it shows up on your friends and families feed they will see it. Awesome great images and great videos will help you on your career path to be an affiliate marketer.

Create A Fan Page On Facebook

You can use this as if were your website. It’s not as good as a website but it is free for you to create and only takes a little time. Once you have your page created put a few posts on there. Try to engage the audience. Think about current events, inspirational messages or something funny. Get the page loaded up. After that then invite your friends and family to like your page.

Create A Group On Facebook

The next thing that you will want to do is create a group for your affiliate business. Groups are a little bit different than pages. A group page your audience can engage in conversation better. They can actually make posts on a group page. You can make this a private or public group. You can kick people out of the group and create your own rules. After you have created your group you can link it to your Facebook page that you are using as your website.

To create a group simply click the drop down at the top right of the Facebook page. There you will see an option to create a group. Fill out the boxes and you are ready to go.
