Making Money With Facebook?

Hi,

No, not me! I just don't trust them yet. They seems have issues with the security.

and their site is down all around the world today... I have started thinking, may be they are not capable of handling the volume of people???

No, they are back up now. They were briefly down for 5-10 minutes I guess. But I've heard too many people claiming to make a ton of money from FB other than ads. Anyone making money with FB care to share?

I will tell you a personal method i inented myself to earn with Facebook :

First one : Like an E-mail list build a page and drive targeted traffic to it (Market it on facebook - do some seo optimization for it ..etc) and try to have as minimum as 50.000 members in your fan page and send them some cool news + offers like CPA offers or products ...etc

Is this a FB account with real friends on it, or people you want to market to, or both?

Either way, you can try posting affiliate links a few times a day- especially simple CPA offers like lead gens, zip submits, or email submits.

But if you have a bunch of real friends and family up there, I'd recommend starting a different account and building FB friends up on that one and market on there.

You don't want your real friends and family getting annoyed with all your aff. posts.

You can also start a Facebook fan page or group, get lots of members/fans, and start marketing to them when your page gets big.

Friend of mine makes at least 2k weekly just with FB and CPAlead

I am indirectly getting business via fan page marketing.
I show prospects some awesome fan pages (especially those of their competition) and ask them if they want one

There are loads of ways of making money in there. I have a few acquintances who source a lot of their customers from facebook.

The basic process flow is like this:

-join every last facebook group/fan page in whatever niche you are in
-make loads of contacts in those.... add them as friends. Especially the highly active ones who comment a lot
-create your own group and get them in there. Offer some lucrative freebie, such as the free review copies of upcoming product, free coaching sessions etc
-encourage them to ask you questions and offer free help. Answer all the n00b questions & help them out
-invite them to free webinar, giving some useful and valuable info and preselling your product at the same time
-make a series of webinars.... make q&a sessions at the end of the webinars. people loooove their questions answered live by an expert
-get them into the sales funnel by putting the webinar infos behind an optin form
-compile the frequently asked questions from the webinars and give it away as free product
-presell, upsell, cross sell whatever you wish to them down the road

This is exactly what the coaching, self help, personal improvement, NLP crowd is doing. They hook people up with webinars/freebies, build up a following by being the friendly, easily accessible guy who helps them out, then upsell them coaching sessions and continuity stuff.

People I know make a killing this way NEVER ever spam CPA offers or affiliate links. First they build a trusting relationship with people, position themselves as experts/gurus, then upsell their own products.

Facebook ads earn me way more money then any ppc engine has ever.
Facebook plus clickbank is money in the bank.

Who needs google.

Only on facebook can I get thousand clicks on the same day I launch the damn campaign!
