How To Start Making Money From Home Using Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and other Social Media Sites


Isn't it shocking when you meet a high school classmate who doesn't have a Facebook, Twitter or MySpace account? Basically, we assume that everyone has these accounts, rather, everyone who knows the basics of computers and the internet. But you know what's more shocking than meeting someone who doesn't have these accounts? It's meeting someone who has been using for months and doesn't know that s/he can gain profits and earn bucks through this social networking site. Well, if you are guilty of this or you're just someone who knows that there's profit but is just wondering how to get started, here's some tips and tricks for you to make money from home using these social networking sites.

Sell products - You can take a picture of products at hand and tag your friends. To persuade your friends on why they should be buying products from you, you can also put descriptions of the said products. This way, you can be sure that your friends will be able to see what you sell and have the basic information on how to order. Plus, because of the newsfeed feature of these social networking sites, it's not only your friends can view the items you are selling, but also the friends of your friends.

Link your affiliate or blog link - If it's difficult for you to gain more views for your blog (business blog), then you can link your blog to your Facebook, MySpace or Twitter account. It automatically appears in the newsfeed and your profile, every time you update your blog. Check if your blog has this feature; if not, you can manually embed your link to your wall or even your friends' walls. This could also do this with your affiliate links.

Utilize Apps. - Not all applications just for games and quizzes, some enable you to earn money. By doing various simple tasks like taking surveys and completing offers these applications let you earn money. However, don't expect to get rich from this since they don't really offer much. But if you want to earn extra cash while basically doing nothing but chat with your friends, then you should really consider this.

Advertise through Social Networking Sites - If you are really serious about making money then advertising is the most effective way. Once you advertise, it will target specific audiences that are relevant to the products you are advertising. For example, if a person puts "tennis" as one of his hobbies and interests in his profile, then some of the advertisements that he can see in the advertisements tab are all about tennis. In order to advertise on these social networking sites, you must be willing to spend a few dollars; which is why it is only for serious advertisers who are willing to invest in their marketing.

Personal branding – There is nothing more important than personal branding. In every business, it is the businessman/woman which is more important because customers are more apt to deal or buy from whom they know and trust. Make use of social networking sites and let everyone recognize you – participate in discussion, share helpful ideas and tips, make new friends and/or find people you know and start communicating with them, join groups, make your own Business Page wherein you can detailed all information about your business and share the goodness of your products and services, invite famous people from the industry to become one of your friends and if so ask them to share their ideas. This way people will recognize you and will begin to build trust and loyalty.
