How to Make Money on Facebook

By Derrick Markotter

What would it be like to be able to generate $25,000 in 21 days? Brian Campbell knows - he did exactly that in May 2008. He did it on Facebook, and he's sharing his knowledge with a small group of people. The methods he uses will work with any social network such as MySpace, Hi5, LinkedIn, Bebo or Zenzuu.

How exactly did Brian do it? Brian gave away access to a 3 1/2 hour video training session in which he revealed everything he did to make that much money. Here are some of the methods he used:

You need to create a network of contacts. Start with your friends. You can invite between 20 and 30 people a day to become your friend - if you invite too many, Facebook will tell you to slow down. You can find people who are interested in the same things you are by joining groups, and looking through the lists of members.

When you invite someone to be your friend, Facebook allows you to send a personal message. You should definitely take advantage of this facility. Letting the person know that you share their interests makes it more likely that they will confirm your request.

You want to be in a position where other people are sending you confirmation requests. One way to do this is by making yourself visible by posting videos, photos and comments on other people's walls. Every time you do this, all their friends get to see your posts as well. If you post good stuff, people will start asking you to be their friend.

Starting a group - and eventually a number of groups - is a great way to expand your network of contacts. Group members don't have to be your friends, but you can start getting members into your group by inviting your friends - and asking them to invite their friends as well. Give away lots of useful information - articles, downloads and videos are all good.

All the people in your groups as well as all your friends form your network of contacts. Ultimately, you want to get people to sign up for your newsletter, so that you can contact them without going through Facebook.

Brian Campbell is giving away free access to a new training course called the Social Media Monetization System. There's over 10 hours of training, including the 3 1/2 hour video series where he shows you step-by-step how he made $25,121 on Facebook in only 21 days. Access is limited, so sign up right now.
