Do you know how many people are glued to social media platforms every day? Investopedia reported back in 2020 that at least 2.5 billion people are ACTIVE on Facebook every single day of 2019. And the figure is increasing 8 percent annually. This only means that Facebook (and other popular social media apps like Twitter with 321 million active users daily) is a place where a potential market can evolve. Brands will be able to interact with their clients directly. Interaction means the possibility to make a sale even without going to the brand website. With social media, communication and even shopping have become so very easy.

The pandemic has changed everything in this world because physical interaction is limited. Shops are closed, and businesses can only operate on a limit. With this, everything and anything goes through the internet, specifically in the social media world.

And so, making money on social media… A lot of people and companies, as well, have done it and are still doing it because it works. Facebook and Twitter earn because of their advertisements. Since Facebook has about 2.5 billion people clicking on it daily, the average revenue per user is $8.52, a 2019 statistic. It is 2021 now. The amount would be more significant than that, and this is an enormous amount of money.

If advertising through social media can make Facebook and the advertiser some revenue, what else can people do to make money through social media platforms?

Pinterest

People make money through Pinterest. How? If you can take great photos, just do so and pin the pictures of your products on your account. Your photos can go viral, which means your products can have a broad reach, and orders will be coming in. What businesses can one offer through Pinterest? EVERYTHING.

IG

You can also make an Instagram Shop. This is so popular these days. Collaborate with InSelly, connect your IG shop to it, and you can do business.

Copywriter

Did you know that people and companies look for copywriters from time to time on Facebook and Twitter? If you are blessed in that area, then apply to be a copywriter. You can earn from that skill. Brands and companies have various copywriting needs. Follow their instructions and make the best and most captivating ad on social media.

Editor

It is not enough for a brand to post a product on Facebook, Twitter, or IG without proofreading the texts. And who does the meticulous job of checking the wordings of an ad? Are the grammar and spelling correct? How about SEO? Marketing is not just about posting great pictures. The words will have to capture the audience. After a writer provides the best text for the ad, the editor needs to proofread it before giving a GO to publish the post.

Manager

There is money in being a social media manager. Some businesses are busy with operations, and they cannot handle the messages directed to their pages and social media accounts. Being a social media manager, who will deal with the customers directly, you link the business and the clients as you work from home. What a great way to earn!

YT

Who does not know about YT and its subs? To make it simple, here is how people make money on YouTube. You create an account, upload videos of your niche in your channel, AND ask people to like, subscribe, and share. The more subs (subscribers) you have, your channel will receive a rating from YT. When you reach 1000 subscribers, you can monetize your account following their program. Read this article to know more about how the process goes. 

You can also promote posts (and earn by doing that), become an affiliate in Amazon, post your artwork on Tumblr, have a buyer for it, sell your photos, or find onlyfans accounts. There are so many innovative ways these days to use social media and earn from it. Tutorials through Facebook Room and Zoom have become very lucrative for teachers. Today, not only academics are being taught online. Even voice lessons, music lessons, art lessons, and more can now be facilitated through social media for a fee.

Let us not limit ourselves. There is no specific guideline on earning money from social media. As long as you can provide a product or service through the internet using these platforms, it is time well spent clicking your phone or tablet.
