Facebook has become a popular social media platform and there are no signs it is about to slow down. While most people use it to interact with friends and relatives, you can use it to generate income. Money-making techniques using Facebook include selling posts, advertising, fan page, and selling products.
How it works
Start by creating an appealing profile. People are more likely to like, read and follow your posts if they trust you. Trust begins with creating a good impression.
Add people aggressively. The only way to increase your number of followers is by adding people as friends. Some will decline your invitation but many will accept.
Next, you need to consistently post great, valuable content publicly on Facebook. Your posts should have information that is practical. In addition, make sure your posts tell people about what you do and how you can solve their problems.
Contact prospects via Messenger. Facebook Messenger is similar to email, only better as it has more features including video-calling and emoticons.
Keep in touch with prospects. Once you have established some rapport with mutual friends, stay in touch with them. With time, those prospects or friends will convert into buying customers. A word of caution here: when interacting with your prospects, avoid using hard-sell tactics. People prefer doing business with someone who they see as a friend and not just a businessperson only interested in selling them something.
Apart from keeping in touch with your friends, you also need to interact with posts made by your friends by liking and commenting on them. The more you interact with your friends' content, the more your business posts will appear on their newsfeed.
Understand the Facebook algorithm
Every time a user logs into Facebook, the social platform's algorithm goes through several steps to select the content it will show you. These are:
Inventory-the algorithm checks all the recent statuses and the content they are interested in.
Signals-it examines a range of signals according to the person's past behavior.
Prediction-it makes a guess on how the person will respond to particular content
Score-it generates a relevant score for every post using its predictions and signals.
How much you can make
There is no limit to the amount of money you can make using Facebook. Here, the sky is the limit.
