How To Make Money on Facebook

Users have started looking for how to profit from Facebook almost since its appearance in 2004, but in fact the concept of profit from Facebook has been for many years just an implicit concept, that is, there were no direct ways to profit from Facebook.

The idea of ​​​​profiting from Facebook stemmed mainly from the marketing capabilities and opportunities that could be achieved through it. This was the case until 2014 and Audience Network came along, and since then everything has changed.

In fact, now there are many ways to profit from Facebook directly (that is, you will get money from the Facebook company directly), in addition to many other indirect ways that depend mainly on the marketing power of Facebook (that is, as a source for obtaining visitors).

Now Facebook video publishers can sign up for the Ad Breaks program and monetize their videos by placing ads on them. Profit from Facebook videos is very similar to profit from YouTube videos.

It works as follows: every owner of a Facebook page who uploads videos and shares them with followers can subscribe to an advertising program provided by Facebook called Ad Breaks, through this program ads are placed on the videos.

Of course, Facebook makes a profit from these ads, and it shares part of the profits with video owners, and in this way, Facebook video owners can make a profit from their videos.

Unfortunately, until now, profit from Facebook videos has not been made available for all languages ​​and countries, but according to Facebook, more languages ​​and countries will be included over time.

Through this technology, Facebook users can open the articles that are shared from the sites instantly, as soon as they click on the link of the article on Facebook, it opens directly in front of the user.

These articles are marked with a lightning bolt, as shown in the image below.

Secondly, indirect ways to profit from Facebook:

As we mentioned above, the indirect methods of profit from Facebook stem mainly from the marketing power of Facebook, as it is considered the first and most important social networking site in the world with nearly 2 billion monthly users.

Let’s start with the list of the most important indirect ways to profit from Facebook:

6. Profit from Facebook by renting advertising posts to others

If you have a Facebook page with a large number of members, you can make it an advertising medium for others by opening the door to accepting paid ads on it. Everyone who wants to create an ad can message you and agree with him on the details and prices of the ad on your page.

In this case, you can use your own page to announce that you accept the placement of third-party ads on it.
This method can be implemented through groups as well, where you can create a group specialized in a specific field, and then rent advertising flyers for a fee.

7. Profit from Facebook through commission or affiliate marketing

In affiliate marketing, you can use Facebook’s marketing power for the benefit of others, and in return, you will receive a commission from the company or site for which you are marketing.

There are offers, services, and products for almost every interest you can imagine. Whatever topic your page or group deals with or talks about, there is always a service, commodity, or offer suitable for its content.

The great thing here is that you can create a page specifically if you find a good product that allows commission marketing, and you can, of course, use funded Facebook ads to get the highest possible level of profits.

8. Profit from Facebook by getting visitors to your blog or website

If you have writing skills and are really interested in the topic your Facebook page deals with, and you have good information, you can create a blog or website and write articles like the posts you provide on your page, but in a more organized, professional and comprehensive manner.

In this case, instead of sharing your ideas directly to your page members, you will send them to your website or blog, and of course there are many ways to profit from websites, one of which you can use to generate profits.

If you do not have the skills to write professional articles, you can use my previous topic on how to write an article. Also, to get the easiest way to create a website, you can use WordPress, then you should return to the article: Steps to create a WordPress website (a comprehensive explanation).

It is worth noting here that you can also market your online store on Facebook, and get more sales, and then more profits.

9. Profit from Facebook by marketing your business

If you have a special project, and you want to achieve more sales and then more profits, there is no better marketing tool available to you than Facebook marketing. You can create a special page for your restaurant, for example, in which you display the list of foods that you offer.

You can also display the most important features of your restaurant, such as the level of cleanliness, the quality of the materials used, the class of service…etc. Of course, here you can use funded ads and target the geographical area covered by your project.

10. Profit from Facebook by marketing yourself as a freelancer
