Make money on facebook


Making Money on Facebook

Now a day for all online surfers, making money with facebook is one of the easiest jobs. Facebook is the third largest populated “country” of the world. Having more than 750 million active users’ .The ideas “Making Money with facebook” fascinated so many people around the world. Making money on facebook takes just one click to get register on the linked sites offering the simple clicks. Most of companies and personals are making their login and own pages without any share of capital to enhance theirs’ business activities. While most industry insiders have a firm grasp on Facebook’s monetization models, many people still don’t know how Facebook makes money. Now let’s see some of the basic ways to harness the power of Facebook.                                                                                                                                      

Make money with Fiverr:                                                                                                                 Fiverr is a product & service selling website at a fixed rate of 5$. You have to make a Facebook group or Page with many thousands of fans; you can use the Page as an advertisement section. That means, you can charge for placing an AD or a link to a website or blog. On account of doing this, first choose a topic for building a Facebook group or page; it could be about a celebrity, brand or others (be sure that it has mass appeal). Then spread the word about it to your friends along with through online forums. With a little effort, you can easily increase the number of fans for the Page. To keep the Page updated and lively is to add news related to the main topic every day and also add the information a hot topic to debate upon. It will make members reply to it either accepting the view or opposing the view. The next step is to register in Fiverr.com if you have not already done so. Suggest to create a new gig in Fiverr (it is a type of task or service that you are willing to do for $5) for posting a link or AD on your Facebook Ads Page. Publish the number of fans it has and also how lively or active it is. Then all you need to do when someone purchases your gig is to place their link on the Facebook Page (you can do it since you created it). Actually, 5$ is not a large amount but because it takes just about a minute or so to complete the task and also because you can get many such orders, day by day it becomes an easy way to earn using Facebook. As much as you can create facebook pages and post one gig in Fiverr for each Page.
Make money with CPA and Product Marketing
You can take a chance of creating a facebook page using the methods described under the Fiverr section and try to get as many Fans as possible to the page. On the Page, post useful information including affiliate links to CPA offers and Info Products from the Page. Social Networking sites have not been known to convert much but because of the large number of fans, even a poor conversion ratio can yield quite more money in absolute numbers.
Make money by using a Targeted Advertising
Facebook provides the best ever targeted advertising system on the internet that I believe, where virtually any section of the demographic we can target easily. The in-depth & fine tuned level of targeting opens up amazing possibilities in the world of marketing & advertisement which I never seen before. Although the conversion ration might not be good, the ADs in facebook are quite cheap which can help make up for the poor conversion ratio.
Make money by creating & Selling Facebook Apps or Games
If you are a software or game developer, facebook is the right place to earn. You can create and sell facebook apps. Even if you are not a developer, alternatively you can hire some one in a site like Freelancer.com to create the app for you. Spread the word about the app to your facebook friends and have them Like the app. This will turn a ripple effect which would encourage lots of people using your app. After that you can either sell the app or can even get a venture capitalist to invest more money in it and grow it, if your app becomes very popular. Zynga is an example of a company which used facebook games like Farmville to become a billion dollar company.
Make money by driving traffic to your website from facebook and earn through other methods
The facebook like button is a good way to drive traffic to your website. At first you have to create a website on a topic of mass appeal and place PPC ads (AdSense, Chitika etc.).  After that, try to get as many as facebook friends as possible. It is important as each Like you make can cause a bigger ripple effect to friends of friends. Then you have to create an interesting post in your website and like it in facebook. Ensure that you place the like button in your website as well. When your friends login to facebook, they will see the Liked page and they might also like it and pass it on to their friends. It will cause a huge effect if the post is interesting enough and will get your website more traffic. You will also be able to earn through the AdSense ads placed in your website at the same time.
Make money by building an email opt-in list using facebook
You can drive traffic to your website by using some of the techniques mentioned above and place a tempting opt-in list form in the webpage that you Liked. By placing regular posts and Liking them, you can grow your email opt-in list. These lists are the key to succeeding as an internet marketer; you can use this list to sell your info products or can use affiliate marketing for selling other’s products.

Make Money Blogging


Make Money Online

Do you want to make money online blogging? If yes, you’re not alone. Thousands of bloggers are finding that blogging is a profitable media. Whether it be to earn a few extra dollars a week to feed their coffee habit, or making enough money to stop them having to get a part time job to get through college, or whether they’ve got it to a point where they are able to make a full time living from their blogging. That is why I’m putting together this list of 31 Genuine Ways to Make Money Online with a Blog“. 
This article is not only your average directory of money making tips but also summaries for what each element is how to use it, and where to find resources/examples.  The blogging money making tips are also divided into Beginner, Novice, and Problogger based on the differing qualifications and needs of each. Making money online is mostly about customizing a monetizing formula for your blog.  Depending on your skill level, network, and current traffic levels your blog has a variety of options.  Now find your blog’s formula below to maximize your earnings.

 For Beginner

You have known who you are- Low levels of traffic, relatively new blog, little or no internet experience, no design or seo skills, and probably a sense frustration over the lack of earnings. A few options in this section are better then others and matter of fact all of them can be used no matter what level you are currently at.  Novices can use any beginner level monetization methods and Probloggers have the luck of using everything and anything they see fit.
PPC – Pay Per Click is an advertising program in which ads are placed on our blogs and we are paid whenever our visitors click on the ads.  It is the most common method bloggers use to make money online.  It involves almost no effort and is so incredibly easy that many blogs have too much advertising on them.   Money is maximized as traffic levels increase.
CPM - Cost Per Thousand (“M” is roman numeral for thousand) is an impression based advertising system.  It means advertisers place ads on our blogs and we are paid based on how many times the ad shows up.  This can be profitable for blogs with big traffic, and can start to bring money to even the smallest blogs.  All we need is pageviews to increase this monetization method.
Money Widgets – It’s a very simple advertising system which is easily integrated into our blog’s sidebar with widget advertising.  Just embed the widget into our sidebar and watch the ads begin.
In-Text Ads – We know what these ads are. We have probably seen them all over small blogs and websites on the internet.  They are links with double-lines below them.  While sometimes useful for blog owner’s pockets, they eventually irritate and annoy most readers into leaving the blog and not returning/subscribing.  In-text ads should be used with caution.
Parked Domains – Have a few domains you are planning on using soon but are not ready to start?  Parked domains serve the purpose as advertisement and traffic redirection.  This is perhaps the easiest way to make money, though in small doses, online.  Just get a domain name and use the very easy parked domain programs.
Examples: Parked Google Parked
Donations – We have probably all seen the little button that says “donate” in some ones sidebar.  This is an easy and perhaps out-of-date way to try and earn some revenue. Some programmers use this still, but very little revenue is earned through the donation feature.  Think ourselves, have we ever donated?  But still it is simple and if we don’t mind the button then go ahead and try.
Examples: Paypal – it really is the only major ‘donate’ resource around!
Affiliate Marketing – Perhaps the most lucrative process for earning money online is by using our blogs to recommend useful and relevant products to your readers.  We have seen the examples by the many bloggers linking to different themes, ebooks and other products.  The best thing about affiliate marketing is that you are only marketing the product and not selling it.  Just make sure the product is relevant and not over-used.  Read more.
Text Link Ads – As our blogs builds reputation and traffic your posts/pages become great places for links.  Lot of people will even pay you to put their link on your website or page.  While it has earning potential, be leery of this form of revenue as it may be detrimental to our blogs in Google’s algorithm.  So study it out before we make our decision.
Feed Ads – An easy way to increase the advertisement on our blogs is by adding them to our rss feeds.  The simplest way is to get Feedburner and set it up for our blogs.  Once we have done that then click on the monetize tab and Google Adsense will be added to our feeds in almost one-click!
Paid Surveys and Polls –We fill out surveys and polls or place them on our blogs for others to fill out and earn money.  In doing this option is careful to find survey or poll companies that have credible backgrounds as this is a source for scammers.
Examples: VizuAnswers
Pop-up Ads – These pesky and annoying advertisements may be great for some of our niche blogs or sub-domains.  Not worth putting on blogs we actually want to build a community on, pop-up ads offer decent revenue to blogs looking to exist but not grow significantly.  But be aware that it is annoying to the reader.
Audio Ads – “You are a winner”, “You may have just won a free Ipod”, etc. These audio ads can be much targeted to our traffic and very successful or completely useless.  For instance, many surfers do not even have their sound on while they surf to avoid such advertisements.  I would recommend not using this sort of advertisement for long-term projects.
Examples: NetAudio
Article Marketing–  A two-edged sword.  We get both quality backlinks to your blogs and its posts while also creating earning potential.  I use Squidoo and Associated Content personally and earn enough money to support my blogging efforts and some advertising.  It’s also very easy through the simple resources available to us.  Using this blogging income source is both potentially lucrative and excellent marketing.

For Novice

Now think us as a novice and we have more experience and a lot more traffic.  Because of the increase in visitors the potential to earn more is also greater.  Here are a few extra things we can include into our earning formula from the beginning level.  Again, make sure to find what is right for our blogs.
Direct Banner – With PPC and CPM advertising there is potential to make money, but direct banner ads bring advertising on our blogs to a new level.  It takes a little more work but we can find ourselves making much more money and doing it pretty quickly.  I use OIOPublisher and it is a premium plug-in that completely rocks.  It even offers affiliate incomes to others who will try to get advertisers for your blog.  Read more.
Premium Content – Proper example of premium content is SeoMoz.  They have lots of great content on SEO for free, but to get the ultimate SEO resources we have to pay a monthly fee. To make premium content on our blogs just have to create a post or page using WordPress.  Then in the publish toolbox click on “edit” on the “visibility” option.  Then choose “password protected”.  Set our password and publish.  The only to do then is create a lead page that explains the premium content and allows people to pay, using paypal or another source to get the password emailed to them.
Examples: WordPress, Paypal
Sponsored Reviews – These are reviews of products through direct contact by the product owner or through a review site.  A good example of a product review is WP Content Robot.  It is easy and you usually get to try out some pretty cool products for free.
Sponsored Post - Like a sponsored review these are posts paid for by others.  What this usually looks like is a post created about a specific website or allowing the post to link to another blog with very specific and targeted keyword links.
Examples: PayPerPost
Theme or Template Sales – To get this money making product going we first need some serious design skills or the money to pay for someone to develop it.  Once a unique design is created premium themes can go from $19 -$200.  There is great earning potential in creating themes and another very advantageous bonus.  When we create your theme a link is put into the footer of the theme with our blog’s url.  So the more themes that are used the more backlinks to our blogs.
Private Forums – Creating a private forum is a great way for bloggers to capitalize on their contacts and build a tight-knit and motivated community.  Some of these communities can be used for social media manipulation and many other “secret” and “exclusive” means.  We can make the fee yearly or monthly if you wish and start to build a steady income through member participation.
Site Flipping - The process of site flipping usually involves the creation of design, content, and some traffic to then go and sell the blogs.  The easiest way for doing this is by forming a partnership and getting someone to design the blogs while the other writes content and markets it.  For more about read Site-Flipping.
Examples: Digital Point Sitepoint (both are great for selling your site)
Plug-in Sales – Warning: programming required!  If we can develop or know someone who can develop a plug-in for wordpress then we have the potential to make and sell premium plug-ins.  The first step is to find something extremely useful and unique.  Then create an affordable plug-in to assist bloggers in their task to rule the blogosphere.
Email Newsletters – These are becoming extremely popular.  The purpose of the email newsletter is to build up a mailing list of email addresses and then use the emails you send to drive traffic, sales, or income in a variety of ways.  Creativity is the best way to use this revenue source.  Additionally it is important to start building your email list as soon as possible.  But be warned that most newsletter services of any value cost money (but not a lot).
Ebook Sales – Writing an ebook is a great way to establish credibility and expertise in our niche while also providing a handsome income.  The way it works is that we provide a very useful resource – like an electronic book and then others buy it.  The best way to understand the process is by learning how to write an ebook and then how to sell it.
Examples: E-Junkie WP E-Commerce (2 great ways to sell your book)
Freelance Work – Once we have established ourselves we can start consulting, writing, designing, and offering other services through our blogs.  I have had a lot of experience with consulting and it is a great income and a lot of fun. So let’s use our blogs to showcase our skills.  Blogs are the ultimate portfolio.
Examples: Paypal WP E-Commerce (ways to sell your services)
Membership Site – If we have the drive to make great lessons, tutorials, classes, or other content worthy of a membership site then we should definitely do it.  They are all the rage right now and show a great way to earn a regular income.  With new products online, the set-up has never been easier.  I would definitely check out the resource if you have ever thought about a membership site.
Examples: Wishlist

Problogger

After completing above steps, we are an expert at getting traffic and building our blogs.  The next thing we need to do is apply all the right things from the list above and use our traffic to leverage the new moneymakers below.  We’re the expert so get started!
Job Boards – Big blogs and bloggers have realized that there is great money in job boards.  A great example of this is Problogger’s job board.  Anybody gets a monthly fee just to post the job opportunity and creates a lot of buzz for his blog with it too.  When we become the place for people in our niche to come to, start a job board.
Event Sponsors – Having events on our blogs are great ways to get more traffic and revenue.  For example hold a blogathon (blogging marathon), contests, featured story, giveaways and other events to bring traffic and get sponsors to pay us for.  A good example would be to have a webzine that is extremely publicized and then to get a relevant company to sponsor the event.  Thus we are getting more traffic and money in one big hit.
Selling or Renting a Single Page – Doing this is difficult but far too under-utilized.  The process involves in building a great blog with good traffic and especially good pagerank and then selling internal pages/posts to anyone willing to pay.  They get a sales page or whatever on a great blog and you gets an income.  A good example of this is Pagerank10
Marketplaces  Sitepoint is the best example of a marketplace.  It is just like it sounds a place for everyone to sell products, sites, domain names, services, etc. on your site. We get the traffic and links along with commission in many cases while the user gets to buy or sell.  Traffic or a very unique niche is a must to succeed with this income earner.
Hardcover Book - Afterwe have established ourselves in our niche as a leading authority we can now publish a book on our topic of choice.  Some publishers even go from blog to book with almost no effort.  So if we are interested in seeing your book in the flesh (paper flesh) then looks into these resources.
Others - In addition to all of the above there are many smaller incomes. Speaking Fees is one of them. I get asked to do a lot of speaking and increasingly they are paid opportunities. I’m not able to do as many as I would like on travel usually. However, I did a couple of events and the income was enough to include in this list.

How to Start Making Money Online?


Make Money Online

Every internet newbie want to make online-money fast, but s/he doesn’t know how to start when they are getting learned to make money online.
Firstly, I continue I’d like you to know that the tips in this article doesn’t guarantee results and the result you will get depends on who you are, what previous knowledge you have and what you’re ready to give to ensure your success. Once you’ve understood this you can read on to learn some quick ways to make money online fast.
(1) Know Your Skills by Understanding Yourself Better
All great business in the world are based on having something to offer and I’d like you to know that in the online world you won’t get any results if you don’t have anything to offer.
The first step to starting make money online is having a better understanding of you. Take a look at yourself, try to know what you know how to do best, try to know what you can easily do without having any problems and try to know what you have a lot of experiences on. Normally it doesn’t matter what field this skill of yours is, just ensure you understand it and do your best to perfect it.
(2) Research Your Market
Suppose, you’ve understood and know yourself better and now that you know what you have to offer to people it is now time to take yourself a step further.
It doesn’t matter how great or cool a business is. Its success lies in its understanding of its market. Your skills won’t just make you money, your market will and in order to effectively leverage your market to your success you need to have a better idea of who your market is.
When you’ve understood your market start profiling a list of some of the top people in your market who you know is truly in need of your service. As for example, if you’re a designer your market will be big companies with unprofessional websites and if you’re a social media consultant your market will be big companies with poor social marketing efforts.
Once it comes to knowing your market you should also know that it isn’t just about people who are in need of your services but it is mostly about people who are willing to pay you for your services – I mean it is all about people who have the budget and are willing to spend to ensure they get the best.
(3) Get in Touch With Your Market
We have touched two very important aspects which are known and understanding yourself better and researching your market. Knowing your market alone won’t help you get results. You need to go further step by establishing a contact with your market. It can be done in so many ways depending on the skills you have to offer, but if you’re a freelancer who has a service to offer the best thing to do will be to profile a list of some of the top people in your field and start contacting them as to why they need your service. You need to get a lot of clients on the long run and that will be a lot of more bucks in your pocket.
There are a lot of things anybody can do, especially with basic computer skills, so I sat down for writing a list of activities we could do to make some money right now.
Many of these tips will certainly not make you rich, while others have some great potential. The goal of this list is to inspire you to act and do something right now. It’s better to start with something small than to not start at all. Hope to enjoy!


1.                Sell used stuff on eBay. Chances are that you have lot of stuff you no longer use in your home. Why not making a list of all the stuff you have in excess and then selling it on eBay?


2.                Compile online surveys. Online surveys are a quick way to make some money.  Keep in mind that most websites only works for US residents.


3.                Put AdSense on your website. AdSense is the fastest way to make money from your website. And if you don’t have a website, you can always start one.


4.                Post your resume. Wherever you are a writer, blogger, designer, programmer, etc, there are many websites like elance.com where you can find some part time work. Give it a try and post your resume.


5.                Write for ehow.com. Ehow is a how to articles directory. You can write as many articles as you want and receive money when someone visits your articles and clicks the ads.


6.                Teach English via skype. If you are a native speaker, you may find someone who’s willing to pay you for simply having some conversation over skype. Just do a quick search on google to get an idea.


7.                Post your photos on istockphoto. Stock photo websites like istockphoto can bring you a lot of money. Some people are even making a high 6 figures income from it.


8.                Search for free adwords/yahoo/msn coupons and use them to make money through affiliate marketing. I recently received an adwords coupon from google, so the first thing I did was to run a campaign and link to an affiliate website with my referral id. Quick money, zero risk.


9.                Coach or teach others. Do a list of your top skills (hint: you have many) and teach them to other people. If you are good at something, there’s always someone else that wants to learn it, so take the opportunity to make some money and to learn something new at the same time.


10.            Submit your design to sites like 99designs.com or zooppa.com. If you are a good designer or video maker, the ways you can make money online are infinite. Using websites like 99designs orzooppa you can submit your work and earn some real money.


11.            Sell your own product. You can follow the step by step process described in the four hour work week and start your online business in no time.



12.            If you know a foreign language, offer to do translations. There are many companies who would benefit from a native speaker for doing some translations. Often you can get a serious work from this, so do some research to see what’s available.


13.            Make money with clickbank.com. Create an account at clickbank.com and find a genuine product to promote through your website, or build a dedicated website if you are good with SEO (you can always learn).


14.            Offer computer assistance. You may be surprised by how many people don’t know how to do basic stuff like setting up an email account or uploading a video on youtube. Offer them your help for a small fee.


15.            Build websites for small companies. You don’t have to be a programmer to make websites. There are excellent content managers and templates you can buy for making small websites. You can also outsource the complete process of course.


16.            Start a blog. If you have something to say, start a blog. It might take a while before you start to see some serious money, but they’ll eventually come if you do things right.


17.            Sell a blog. Of course you can also sell a blog. Blogs are sold every day and many people make and sell blogs as a part of their day job.


18.            Rewrite ads. If your grammar is good, take a look at ebay ads and if you notice one that sucks, offer its owner a rewrite for a 1% or 2% fee. Only target big items of course.


19.            Rent your car. If you don’t use your car every day, you could rent it by online.


20.            Buy and sell tickets. If your country laws permit it, you can buy tickets in advance and then resell them on ebay once they are sold out.


21.            Forex trading. I’m not a forex expert but you may want to take a look at it if you want to make some extra dollars per month trading currencies.


22.            Tutoring. If you are good at math, english or something else, you can tutor kids during weekends or summers online.


23.            Market research. Many market research agencies are paying people for conducting online market research. This is also a great way to brainstorm new business ideas.


24.            Do a part time job. A part time job is often the easiest way for making some extra money online.
