Facebook has become a social media phenomenon that started with just college students, but has now expanded to all kinds of social groups. Most of the Facebook users are so addicted to this website that they spend hours exploring and using different kinds of social apps. Like television, people are spending more and more time in front of their computers, surfing the web or trying out new apps on Facebook.
As with most popular media like TV, radio, or print ads, Facebook also generates ads that accompany its apps. You can apply the same concept: make a product and sell it. So how do you do this with Facebook? Here are ways to make your earnings work.
sell your product.
If you already have a product, you can sell it on Facebook, especially if your service or product caters to the 18-35 age group. For example, if you have a pizzeria open 24 hours, you can put your page with the profile of your company and your products. Some college students who go online during the wee hours of the night may have a craving for pizza.
Or if you have a bookstore, you can put up a page asking people if they want to order a book online for a significantly lower price compared to other online bookstores. Get to know your consumers and find ways to get in touch with them. Join groups or make your presence more visible.
Make your Facebook page interesting.
Many people also browse Facebook for interesting content like causes to support, fun stuff, or photos worth seeing. You can start thinking of ways to make your page interesting so that many readers visit your profile page.
You just have to put an advertising space on your profile page. Then look for advertisers who would be interested in placing their ad banners on your site. If your page is about books, you might want to get in touch with Amazon. It would make sense, of course, to get advertisers that are related to your actual content.
You don’t actually have to sell anything on your Facebook page, you just have to place ad space once you start generating traffic.
Create applications.
Facebook is so popular because of the various third party applications that it offers. First of all, you must know what the market demands. What apps do Facebook users want? Most users are between the ages of 18 and 35, so it’s understandable that most of Facebook’s apps are mixes between music, video, apps that are just for fun, or their profiles. The apps would range from giveaways, horoscopes, trivia games, personality tests, or graffiti walls on your profile pages. These apps are viral, which means they can spread in a matter of minutes. Therefore, many people may be using your application minutes after it has been launched. That would mean you can sell ad space on your app.
