Making money is a real deal nowadays. Due to the fact that our economy is dropping, more and more people are searching for ways to make money online. This does not come as a shocker because money online is next 9-5. It really is. If you don't believe me,Google around and search for people who are successful who do a 9-5? Probably going to be hard if not impossible. Now back to our topic, can you really make money on social media such as Facebook or Instagram? Yes and yes and yes!
- Brand Deals/Sponsorship
If you have a big following, say around 1 K followers and above, brand are going to come looking for you to offer brand deals. And why is that might you ask? Its because brand such as Nike and its buddies knows that people are always on social media and no longer want to take strolls around the city to go to their shop. So how can brands attract people if there are no people to see their billboards on the side of Milwaukee? Simple. They used influencers(the people with big following) to spread their message around. They then pay these influencers a certain amount of money to post pictures, stories, videos and even blog post around their social media to inform other people about the brand's product. This is a very good way to earn money with your social media.

Probably a lot of you have heard this one before. Ads are still popular, even though they make us suffer with their annoying pictures, and honestly are hugely demanded. If you like making videos and is planning to go for YouTube, then I highly recommend you to focus on getting 10 K views in order to get monetization enabled. But there are also other sites that you can implement ads such as your blog. When people click on your blog, they see the ads and although they click of it, the last click counted and added to your CPM(cost per 1000 click) and you get paid according to your CPM.
- Affliate Marketing

It's something that you can do without relying on brands or ads publisher. You just go on Amazon , pick something that you like and is relevant to your personal brand and then promote it using your affiliate link. When people buy using your affiliate links, you get commissions that acts as payment to you. Sounds easy enough right? WRONG! Affiliate marketing requires you to have a high marketing skill in order to persuade people to buy the product you promoted. If you can't sell, you don't make money - Robert Kiyosaki
