Make money with social networks through affiliations
One of the main ways to make money with social media is to resort to affiliate services. How they work is quite simple: you sign up for them (e.g. the affiliate program of Amazon), sponsored links (also called referral link) that must be included in the posts to be published on their social accounts and expects users to purchase goods and services through them.
If users click on the sponsored links and complete the purchase of a certain product within a certain period of time (usually within 24 hours), the company that owns the affiliate network recognizes the user who has published the link a percentage of earnings (in the case of Amazon it is between 1 and 12%) calculated on the price of the product purchased by the user.
Another important thing: when you include a sponsored link in a post, inform your users that you will make a small profit through it, but that this will not affect the purchase price of the advertised product or service. You have to do this not only as a matter of honesty, but also because this is usually required by the terms of use of affiliate programs. Do you understand?
Earning with social networks by collaborating with famous brands
If you have one or more social accounts that are particularly popular, you can propose a collaboration to one or more brands by contacting them via email (you can usually find more information in this regard by consulting the contact page on their websites). In the message that you will send to the companies you propose a collaboration to, remember to link your social accounts, specify the number of followers who follow you on them and provide your contact details.
I also point out the possibility of subscribing to services social advertising network (e.g. AdMingle and FameBit), which facilitate contact with companies willing to collaborate for advertising campaigns on social networks: even if you do not have a particularly popular account, through these services you should be able to find some brands with which to start commercial collaborations, albeit small.
Make money with social media by selling goods and/or services
Selling goods and/or services on social networks is another earning opportunity to consider. On many social platforms, in fact, it is possible to make sales directly or indirectly.
Earning with social media "indirectly"
I conclude this guide by talking to you about some useful strategies for make money with social networks "indirectly". Let me explain better: through the tools listed in the previous chapters, it is possible to obtain direct (potential) earnings, i.e. money deriving from the sale of goods and services on one's own account or on behalf of third parties.
