Getting small business owners a pile of cash they don't have to pay back!
Hey, today I want to answer the question can I really earn money doing affiliate marketing in Facebook?
The short answer is absolutely. The catch is you have to be a little bit of a ninja.
I’m very proud to say that I’ve been banned from Facebook many times.
Facebook wants you to pay for advertising. If you want to be cheap, I’m very cheap then you have to use a few tricks to advertise.
The first step is to add friends in your target audience. What I do is go to the search bar and search my niche for groups.
Then sometimes you have to join the group or sometimes you don’t, but then on the left hand side is the members tab, click on that and start adding people as friends.
After around 30 Facebook gives you a warning message. Then I usually stop. Do that twice a day and you will have 5,000 friends in your target audience.
The next step is to post. You can post whatever you want, but now and then you can advertise your landing page to get someone on your list and you should. Otherwise Facebook just uses you to make themselves rich.
It’s there platform, so we have to play by their rules.
With the list then you can promote various affiliate offers and make money. When you post a link in Facebook, you just have to make sure it’s not clickable, so it bypasses their filter. That is the first way.
How I do this is I use a free link shortening service called Bitly. Then what I do is put a space between the dot com and the domain and this makes it so it’s not clickable. Then next to it I will write remove the space to create the link.
Now, lots of people will see your post and you will get traffic from it to your website. Cool right?
The second way is using messenger. Sometimes I like to just talk to people on messenger and ask how their business is going.
Then I will ask if they are interested in whatever your niche is. If they are then send them the link to your website.
Of course, who can forget about Facebook Groups.
The thing about Facebook groups is they probably don’t want everyone in there just advertising there stuff to sale.
So, you have to give value first. You have to give.
What I do, is write a short Ebook on a topic. What I like about the Ebook is you sat down and really thought about something and wrote about it.
There is value in an Ebook. You could post a video, as well but you just have to give away something of value.
Then you simply give away the Ebook to groups. At the end of the Ebook I then promote my website, so it’s almost like a positive Trojan Horse.
So far I’ve done it a lot and only 1 person said something. In business it should be a win / win.
As long as you are giving something of value, then it’s fair for you to ask for business at the end, if you can’t do that then don’t do business with that person because it’s not a good deal for you.
I hope this helps. Any questions, just leave a comment. Also your thoughts are appreciated. What challenges are you facing?
Lastly, when it comes to affiliate marketing the right education does make a big difference. There is only 1 person I recommend because he is very good and he helped me out a lot.
