How To Use Facebook To Make Affiliate Sales

How To Use Facebook To Make Affiliate Sales:

By now, I am sure you have a Facebook page, right? The reason I say this is because most people in the world have a Facebook page of some kind. Whether you have a fan page, a personal page, a website page or whatever it may be doesn’t matter and the reason is because you can still make affiliate sales from that page.

One of the things that most people don’t realize is that there are over 800 million people on Facebook, over 500 million people on Facebook each day and all of them are potential sales. If you want to make it in affiliate marketing, then you need to utilize Facebook for what it is worth. Trust me on this one, making money on Facebook is really easy once you know what you are doing.

Facebook Marketing Tips

Get Interested Fans

One of the first things that you need to do, other than start a Facebook page of some kind is to get interested fans. The reason why you need to get fans that are interested in what you are talking about is because selling an affiliate product to somebody that is not interested in buying it is not going to go over so well. Think about it, doesn’t that make sense to you?

If you look around online you will see a lot of people being marketed to even though they have no interest in the product. If you want to make the most money from Facebook, then it is imperative that you get fans that will be interested in what you are talking about and what you are offering.

Update Daily

Another tip that you need to follow is to simply update your status on a daily basis. The reason you need to do this is to make sure that people know you are still there. The reason I advise you on updating your status daily is because the more updates you do, the more affiliate links you can put in. Just remember, if you don’t do any updates, then your followers will find it odd when you finally do add something.

Limit Affiliate Links

Something else that you really need to keep to a minimum is the amount of affiliate links you post. What many people do is post an affiliate link every time they make a status update and that is not what you want to do. What I highly recommend doing is posting no more than 3 affiliate links per week. If you can do this, then I am sure you will get some sales without making it look like that is the only reason you post status updates.

Giveaways

One other tip is to simply give something for free. This doesn’t mean that you need to send people new Ipods of things like that but you do need to give people something so they think they are getting a great deal from you. Some of the best things to give for free are ebooks, links to great deals online and even other giveaways that you spot online.

Now, I know what you are wondering, “How do I get people to like my page”. This is not as tough as many people think it is and the reason is because there are so many ways that you can get people to like your page. Below I created a list of three great ways to grow your following on Facebook and I hope you use them.

How To Grow Your Following

Comment On Related Pages

One of the best things you can do it create links to your page within Facebook. The best way to go about doing this is by commenting on other Facebook pages. The nice thing about doing this is that the fans of that particular Facebook page will see what you wrote and they might head over to your page and become a fan. This is one of the fastest ways to get more followers but you need to put in the time and effort into writing comments on other pages.

Build Backlinks To Your Page

Just like with a webpage, you need backlinks. The best part about a backlink is not that your page will go higher and higher on the search engines, the best part is that you will have a new door to get to your Facebook page. Now, I know that backlinks are not that fun to build but if you have a website or you like to read other blogs around the internet, then that would be a great time to leave a link back to your Facebook page.

Create Youtube Videos To Your Page

Something that most people don’t do, which you should, is simply create Youtube videos to your Facebook page. The reason why I highly recommend this is because that Youtube video could become viral and if it does, then you will get a lot of fans in a very short amount of time. On tip that I have for you is to also place the video that you make on your Facebook page and the reason is because the video could attract more fans to your page. Just know that the more stuff you have on your Facebook page, the more people you will be able to get. One last thing about Youtube is that people would rather watch a video than read a post so if you want to you can just update your Facebook page with videos and that will make you extremely different than what is already out there.

If you are serious about making money from affiliate sales, then it is a must to get a following on Facebook. Most people think that you need thousands of fans to make any money but that is not the truth. You don’t need a lot of fans, but you will need fans that are interested in what you are talking about. Trust me, if you follow what you have learned here, you will be making affiliate sales in no time at all.
