You can not only use social media to make money from your website or online stores but also directly make money on social media.

I use a lot of social media platforms to promote my blog and freelancing services. I receive social media traffic as well as freelancing contracts through social media, therefore, I am already using social media sites to make money. However, I have never directly made money from social media sites, except that I once sold items tough facebook shop, facebook marketplace and Instagram shop. In 2022, I m planning to use social media platforms to make real money.

Influencer marketing on Social Media

The most common way to make money from social media is through influencer marketing. If you have a huge following on social sites, you can attract businesses and individuals to advertise their products and services on your pages. When you have a large following you can endorse products and services and make money from advertisers.

You need to be a good content creator to become an influencer. While celebrities already have a huge fan following in the real world, it is easier for them to become an influencer on social sites, for common people the only way to become a social hit is by creating useful and interesting content.

Being an influencer is all about building followers on your social pages. In order to build followers, you need to be an expert on something and share the content related to your field. I know a Facebook influencer, a doctor by profession. He built 1 million followers on his page without spending any money. Since he is a doctor, he shares useful information about health and people learn so many things from his posts.

The influencer industry is getting bigger and bigger and the most interesting thing is you don't have to be a celebrity or someone who has a big status to become an influencer. With the right marketing strategy and sharing interesting and useful content, you can easily gain a lot of followers ande become an influencer.
