Making Money with a lot of LinkedIn and Facebook connections??

11 replies
Hi,

I have accounts on LinkedIN and Facebook which have a lot of followers. What is the best cost effective way to make money? For example is there a site I can go to to get Ads and paste them in my news feeds where they can click on them and I'll get PPC? I am trying to find out the easiest and best way to start doing this. I am obviously a newbie and there is copious information but I feel its overwhelming

Any easy advice on where to go and what ad to start with is very much appreciated!

    The easiest way to me is to find products in the niches your accounts are focused on and promote those products.

    Hi RomeWashington,

    very tricky question...

    But if i were you i would stick with cpa marketing - because no one needs to buy something.

    For this purpose i've created a New WSO which will be released in a few days - needs approval.


    Have a nice day
    Allen

      Neither of those sites is for doing things like you are suggesting, pasting ads in your new feeds. They are basically advertising and social media platforms where you promote yourself first by being a good citizen and second by offering something of value. usually some service of good you produce - not always - but usually.

        Exactly. Oftentimes, you can make money from these sites, but you really need to know that building your brand, name, and providing value is so important if you ever want to use the above sites to your advantage. There is big money to be made, but you need to be very careful with spamming.

    Both sites are really chalk and cheese when we're talking niche marketing. I push volume on both and there's a steep learning curve to do it well. I strongly suggest you read around the topic before taking action. You'll save time and money, buddy.

    One of the best strategies on LinkedIn & Facebook is to start your own groups
    on a topic related to your chosen niche. You become an authority in the niche,
    and grow you tribe. They grow to know, like and trust you and follow your
    recommendations.

    Also, with LinkedIn you are allowed to send an "announcement" email to your
    group members once a week. Nothing prohibits you from making that
    announcement a product recommendation.

    There are dozens of other ways to monetize both Facebook and LinkedIn,
    but the learning curve can be fairly steep.

      Great tips and advice! Announcements are definitely the way to go.

      Both sites can be monetized, that's for sure, and it's all about handling the learning curve since there will be trial and error involved.

    Thanks for the responses all.... I guess what I am looking for are instructions of where to get and put these ads..

    I am on ClickBank but this seems to be geared toward web sites.... How can I paste an ad with a tracking code on these social media sites? Is there a specific area on ClickBank or should I look at a different site?

    You can create a lot of followers on linkedIn and FB just as long as you give people value first. You will be creating 'authority' as you give people value. When ever you are focused on your followers and not just on your wallet, people will feel that.

    When this starts to happen, they will start to trust and like you naturally.

    But remember, this takes time (not something that happens in one month). It takes a lot of time to cultivate a following large enough to matter.

    Make sure not to be labelled as a spammer because those platforms already have enough people doing that already.

    Getting people to just go and click on your ads, isn't as easy as it sounds.

    If you are going to go through all that effort, make sure that you use a business model that can actually be profitable enough (for you).

    If your Facebook friend list is just comprised of a generic mix of people who like hanging out on Facebook and playing games, socializing, etc, then you might try to find some site that offers Facebook game related items or even T-shirts they might enjoy.
