How to make money through Facebook in Africa.


I greatly doubt if there is any one who has no idea what Facebook is in. If you don’t know Facebook, then you just know that this method of making money online is not the best for you. Day by day the number of internet users is growing world over due to it’s numerous advantages it has come with. I am posting this this blog because I found out that there are a lot of people who would like to make sense out of Facebook rather than just connect with friends and people you don’t even know. Take a second and think about the number of friends that you have. What if all your friends gave you $1 each in a day, how much would that change your life.

BUT,… there is one thing you should think of when you are planning to make money out of Facebook and that is MARKETING. Basically any product can be sold through Facebook, be it digital or not. So the first thing you have to do is to have the love for marketing. Just like any other thing if you don’t have the passion for it you will NEVER succeed.


You can choose to market your own product or just look for a product online or a website that you can market. Don’t forget that there are lot’s of scams online, I would recommend you signup in freelancer and look for companies that need people to market their websites or products. I like getting them through freelancer because I feel safe and secure that I will be paid as all the companies are genuine and they would not like to loose their integrity and credibility. Secondly freelancer is available in all African countries.

After all that is done, you can now go to your Facebook account and follow these steps.
1-      Make the right friends. Concentrate on making the right friends. By the right friends I mean the potential customers, people whom you think are the most in need of the product that you are marketing.
2-      Like fan pages. This is actually the best place to find potential customers as being a fan will definitely show that they like what it is about. Try fan pages with information relative to what you are marketing.
3-      Post, post and post. After making enough friends,[I am talking about not less than 2000 friends and having liked a lot of fan pages, place posts every where you find your self. Then link your posts to url provided to you by the website you work for.

This is a proved way of getting traffic through Facebook, I thought it wise to share this because I have just used it for 2 weeks but I get an average of 300 visitors out of which about 30% take the product making myself a minimum of $90 every day. I don’t consider this bad since I am just a beginner.
Good luck my fellow Africans in the search for online money.
