Make Money Messing Around On Facebook Paying Social Media Jobs
                      
Chapter 1 – Overview
In this short guide you are going  to learn exactly how  you can 
start earning money in as little as 24 hours, doing the things that
you already do on Facebook!
Did you know  that social  media has become one of the biggest
drivers of sales and new customers for businesses? Companies
that used to spend millions of dollars on radio advertising, TV 
commercials and billboard signs,  are now  shifting huge chunks
of their marketing budgets to social  media sites like Facebook.
So why are they doing this? The simple answer is.....
Social Proof
What do you think is more valuable to a business? Someone
seeing an advertisement from a business that says:
'Buy our new smartphone, it has great features and is reasonably
priced!'
Or that same person seeing a Facebook status update from their
friend saying:
I LOVE my new XYZ smartphone, the camera on it is amazing
Of course, it's the latter. And that's why social  media is so
powerful for business.
  
What you may  not realise though, is that you have unwittingly
become an unpaid marketing agent for these companies!
Every time you mention a business on Facebook, recommend a
product or service, or 'like' a businesses page, you are making 
that business money.
And what do you  get in return?
Nothing.
Does it seem fair to you that these businesses should be making
all this money of the back  of your  time and efforts, while you
get nothing?
Imagine if you  could get paid  for the actions you  take
on Facebook?
How great would it be if you could get paid every time you 'liked'
a page, shared an article or left a comment.
Instead of wasting all those hours you spend on Facebook, you 
could turn them into a way to make some extra cash. That would
be pretty awesome right?
Well now you  can!
And the key to all of this is affiliate marketing.
 
So what exactly is affiliate marketing?
At it's most basic level, affiliate marketing is when a business
pays you a commission or fee, for helping them get new 
customers or sales for their business.
For example, a business that sells a weight loss  program online
for $100,  may  have an affiliate program that pays 50% 
commission for each sale you help them generate. You could 
join this affiliate program and then get paid for telling people 
about the businesses website.
As the affiliate program pays 50% commission, and the product
sells for $100,  you would get paid $50 for each customer that 
you send to that businesses website.
It's that easy.
If you were an affiliate for this weight loss  course, all you would 
need to do is find people who  are interested in weight loss,  get 
them to click on your  affiliate link (which will take them to the 
businesses website) and then you get paid $50 for every person
that buys the product.
Facebook is the perfect place to make money doing this as an
affiliate, because through their Facebook accounts people tell 
you exactly what they are interested in (and therefore what they
may be interested in buying!).
  
Through the pages that they like
And the groups that they join
  
You can  then use this information to recommend products they
may  be interested in (using  your  affiliate links), and when they 
buy them, you  get paid!
It's not spam or unwanted marketing because you are only 
giving people information about products and businesses that
you know they will be interested in.
For example, lets say you see a post on Facebook where
someone writes:
Can anyone recommend a good android phone?  I just broke my old
one and I need  to buy a new one ASAP!
Normally you would reply to a post like this with the name of a
phone brand, or a link to a phone manufactures website that 
you have heard good things about.
However, as an affiliate you can  still provide the same helpful 
advice, but you can  get paid for it! Instead of just giving them a
link to the top selling Android phones, you can  give them an 
affiliate link instead.
They will never know  the difference because they still get taken
to the same web page with the top selling Android phones, but
now  if they buy a phone from that website, you  get paid.
How awesome is that!
Are you excited to get started? Well the f i r s t step is to join 
the affiliate programs.
 
Chapter 2 – Join Afliate Programs
There are two major affiliate programs that you should join if 
you want to maximize your  earnings as an affiliate on 
Facebook:
As you probably know,  Amazon is the biggest retail website in 
the world and sells pretty much everything from baby diapers to
coffins. What you might not know  is that you can  become an 
affiliate for Amazon with their program 'Amazon Associates'.
Once you join their affiliate program, you can  earn commissions
when you send someone to their site through your  affiliate link.
Amazon is the best affiliate program for promoting any kind of
physical product, such as a smartphone or watch. They have
over  1,000,000 products that you can  promote, and you can  earn
up to 8.5% commission on the sale price of an item.
8.5% commission might not sound like much, but on a $500 
smartphone for example, it means you get paid $42.50 just for
giving someone a link to the buy page for that phone.
It's very easy money.

Clickbank is the largest digital marketplace online, which
means that it sells anything that can  be downloaded to a 
computer, smartphone or tablet.
This includes things like ebooks, audio courses, videos, 
computer programs etc. Clickbank has an affiliate program 
where you can  join and get paid a commission for promoting
any of the products in their marketplace.
And because all of the products in the Clickbank marketplace are
digital, the commission rates are much higher than with
Amazon. You will typically get paid 50-75%  commission on any
product you promote!

Chapter 3 – Make Money!
After you have joined the affiliate programs, the next step is to
start integrating affiliate marketing into your  daily Facebook 
usage so that you can  make some money!
Don't get ahead of yourself though.
You can't just go and start pasting your  affiliate links for random
products all over  Facebook. The most important thing to 
remember with affiliate marketing on Facebook is....
Relevance
When you post an affiliate link on Facebook it must be relevant
to to the discussion, person or group that you are 
communicating with.
If you just start sending out random affiliate links to anyone you
come across on Facebook, without any thought as to what the 
offer is and whether that person will be interested in it, then 
what you are doing is essentially spam.
And not only is it spam, but it's also  a waste of your  time.
If you are just sending out affiliate links to random offers that 
you don't even know  if people are going  to be interested in, then
it is very unlikely they are going  to buy anything.
 
On the other hand, if you are smart about what you do, and 
give people affiliate links to products and services that are 
relevant to them, you can  make a lot of money.
And as we discussed previously, Facebook makes it super easy 
for you to find out exactly what people are interested in, thinking
about or feeling at any given moment.
From  a persons Facebook account you can  see at a glance:
• Status updates – Tell the story of exactly what is 
happening in a persons life at any given moment (having a
baby, started a diet, going  on a holiday etc.)
• Likes – Give a quick  overview of what types of things
people are interested in.
• Groups – People with similar interests all join together in a
single group on Facebook so that you can  easily reach out 
to a large group of people with a targeted offer. Think
about Facebook groups for people that want to lose weight,
new parents, people looking to make money, cooking
groups and many, many more.
Once you know  what a group of people are interested in,
it's easy to find and recommend products they may  be 
interested in (with your  affiliate links).
• Apps And Games – Facebook allows  you to see what apps 
and games people use on Facebook, which  can  give you 
great information about what else they might be interested
in buying.
 
The 3 Steps To Making  Money On
Facebook
Step 1 – Identify an interest
The first thing you need to do is find someone, or a group of 
people, on Facebook that you have identified as having a 
s p e c i f i c interest (through a status update, comment, like, group 
etc.).
You will come across these all the time just with your  normal use
of Facebook. Your newsfeed is constantly filled with information
saying that someone has liked a particular page, joined a group 
or set themselves a new goal through a status update etc.
If you want to find even more potential people to contact, you 
can look outside of your  own  connections and use the Facebook
search function to identify groups, pages or tags that will help 
you segment a target audience.
 
Step 2 – Find a product to promote
Once you have identified a person or group of people with a 
specific interest, the second step is to find an affiliate 
product that you can  promote to them.
Clickbank has a huge number of digital products like ebooks, 
video courses, audio programs, software, membership sites and
more that cover a plethora of topics. And as I'm sure you know, 
Amazon sells everything from books, to bikes, TV’s, phones, 
tablets and...... well just about everything.
So between the Clickbank affiliate program and the Amazon 
Associates affiliate program, you can  find a product to promote
that will appeal to just about anyone. For example, if you came
across a status update on Facebook where someone said:
Arrrrgh! I love my baby but why won't she sleep for more  than  2
hours  straight!
You could go into the Clickbank marketplace, lookup the
'Parenting and Families' section and find a relevant ebook or 
video course to help them. A quick  search in the Clickbank 
marketplace reveals that there are several products based on 
teaching parents how  to get their children to sleep through the 
night. These would be perfect, and you get $20 or more per  sale.
Once you have found a product that is suitable, the next step is
to get your  affiliate link for it. Clickbank and Amazon both have 
different procedures for this and you can  find detailed 
instructions on their websites, in their affiliate training sections.
 
Step 3 – Give them your  affiliate
link!
The final and easiest step of all is just to give them your affiliate 
link.
If we look back  at the example we gave  earlier where someone
posted on their Facebook timeline:
Can anyone recommend a good android phone?  I just broke my old
one and I need  to buy a new one ASAP!
You could respond to this with a comment like:
Hey there, I've heard  that the new XYZ phone is good. Here is a link
to the top selling Android phones, they all have independent
customer reviews so it should  help you choose:
 h  t t p  : / /y o  u raffi l i a  t el i n  k  . c om
It's as easy as that.
And if you have found a Facebook group with a similar interest 
you could create a new comment in the group with your  link, or 
reply to some status updates or comments from other members
in the group.
Tip: Don't just post your affiliate link as a comment or reply. Write a
personal, helpful  response or comment and only include your 
affiliate link at the end, as an extra source of information they may 
want to look at. This will help your comments seem  more  genuine 
and will help you get more  clicks on your affiliate link.
 
URL Shorteners
Some affiliate links that you get can  be quite long, such as
amazon affiliate links to specific products:
 h  t t p  : / / w  w  w  . a maz o  n  . c  o  m / d p/ B  0  0  0  B  T  E I I U  / ?tag=AX94EF2SSFBB45
This is fine, and will work  if you give it to someone on Facebook.
But it doesn't look very nice, and isn't very practical for the short
message nature that Facebook sometimes calls for.
In these examples you ca n  use a URL shortener such
as:
 h  t  t  p  :/   / b  i t  l y  .c   o  m 
 
By using a URL shortener like Bitly, you can  turn your  long
affiliate URL like this:
 h  t t p  : / / w  w  w  . a maz o  n  . c  o  m / d p/ B  0  0  0  B  T  E I I U  / ?tag=AX94EF2SSFBB45
Into a simple, easy to use url like this:
 h  t t p  : / / a m z  n  .t  o  / T  R  5  H S0
Whenever anyone clicks on your  shortened URL, Bitly will
automatically redirect them to your  full affiliate URL.
