Ways to earn money on social networks

Any blogger with any level of the blog someday will contact with monetizing of the created content and the possibility of getting the first income.

And today we’ll talk about the main ways to make money on social networks!


Sale of advertising

Sale of advertising

Selling ad integrations is one of the most obvious and common ways to make money on social media. There’re different ways to make advertising integrations, it can be native advertising; an entire advertising post or video; product testing; even advertising collaborations.

Payment, in this case, goes for the placement of advertising itself, but sometimes the contract may imply certain conditions.

By the way, modern advertisers are interested in placing ads not only with the help of large bloggers but also in small blogs with a loyal audience.


Traffic arbitrage

Such advertising integrations are similar to the previous version, but they differ in the monetization mechanism. If you’re arbitraging traffic, then you’ll earn money for each specific user action: clicking on a link, ordering a product or service, and so on.

This method is most beneficial for bloggers with large or loyal audiences. It’s also worth understanding that when placing such advertising, the interests of your audience must coincide with the company’s offer.


Donations

Donations are a good way to get financial support from your audience in gratitude for the content you make. Often, donations aren’t such a stable way to earn money as advertising integrations, but they complement each other perfectly.


Selling products and services

Selling products and services

Even small bloggers can sell their own product if they have the right audience interested in it. In fact, using your blog you can sell anything from your own goods, merchandise, courses to personal services, and much more.

However, this method of monetization often requires a significant investment of time and money to develop the products and services. Or such products should already exist. But in this case, the blog often acts more as an advertising channel for promoting the product and service than as an independent way of earning.


Monetization and affiliate programs

Some social networks offer their own ways of monetization through affiliate programs. For example, Youtube offers any user who has 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours to get channel monetization. With it, blogger will receive income from each ad viewed, which Youtube automatically integrates into all videos.


Brand Ambassador

This separate type of monetization means very close and long-term cooperation of a blogger with a certain brand. Often in such a situation, the blogger independently uses the brand’s products and is also personally a fan of the company’s products or services.

Such cooperation usually doesn’t cause audience dissonance, which makes integrations more natural and sales faster. Also, long-term cooperation allows you to create more unique advertising campaigns aimed not only at sales but also at increasing brand awareness. A blogger can often temporarily become the face of a brand, which has a very significant effect on his popularity.


These were the main ways to make money on social networks, but each social network also provides unique ways to monetize. For example, selling AR masks on Instagram, advertising other groups on Faceook, and much more.
