How To Make Money From Social Media Sites
Social media is far more than just entertainment, it has also become a vital means to make money.
Most don’t realize that anything we share is basically advertising. Advertising generates millions and up to billions of dollars for the top companies in the world. You can have a piece of the pie and create a passive income stream for yourself.
The top social media sites such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Pinterest are not just helping businesses make money but also the normal everyday person.
Some people like to brag about their high count of social media followers because it makes them feel important. A small percentage actually takes advantage of having a strong following and learned how to make money from it.
You can earn income on social media with hundreds of followers but of course the more followers you have the better your chances.

The Right Niche
If you already have a following, you might know what your audience’s interest are. Whether if it’s fitness, fashion, making money, etc. These are considered niches and are among the most popular.
If you typically post about fitness and receive the most engagement (likes, shares) then fitness is your niche.
Therefore you wouldn’t post or advertise fast food to your followers.
Instead you would post fitness training, workout accessories or clothing, healthy meal plans, and anything else related to a healthy lifestyle.
Now, how do you earn income from your niche?
Make Money With Affiliate Products
Now that you know your niche, you’re one step closer to start earning income from social media.
Becoming an Affiliate is one of the easiest and quickest ways to start earning. Affiliate programs such as Amazon and Clickbank are great to use because they have countless products for almost every niche.
Remember to only post and promote relevant products. Post your affiliate links with every product that you promote.
For sites like Instagram that only allow links in your bio, don’t forget to add your main link there.
Earn With Your Own Products or Skills
What’s better than selling someone else’s product? Selling your own.
Of course, selling your own product takes more work because you have to create it but it could possibly lead to more income. By creating and promoting it yourself, you can also keep all the income generated from it.
You can create physical products which will take money to create or you can create digital products. If you can create digital products on your own, you can save money and just dedicate the time needed to create it. Digital products such as ebooks and courses could be very helpful to your followers.
If you have skills in graphic design or painting, you can sell your skill set to other’s that may need it.
Pictures and memes have basically taken over social media. Posting pics that you have painted or created through graphic design shows samples of your work to potential customers.
Closing
Whether if you have a strong social media following or you’re currently building one, you can earn income from these platforms.
Start of by trying one of these methods, then continue to build and try them all.
