Here’s a brand new way that you can monetize your Facebook profile by including laser targeted adverts for whatever you want, right there in the middle of your Profile page
One of the leading online advertising companies AdBrite has very recently launched a service where you can add targeted advertising into 100 different applications.
So, take a look at the Facebook module here.
First, you need to decide what it is you want to advertise remembering that you must not be too obvious with any kind of promotional materials on Facebook.
The idea is that your advert will take the viewer directly to a page on your own site, or another site of your choosing.
One idea is to see if you can tie in the idea of a good cause with you making money at the back-end somehow, rather than going straight for the sale.
Whichever way you do it, choose the application that you want to tie your advert to, and then follow the instructions on the first screen for creating your AdBrite advertising campaign, making sure you set it up to only place advertising on Facebook.
Now, these ads are going to be charged on what is known as a ‘Pay Per Click’ (PPC) basis. That is, every time someone clicks on your ad, you are going to pay for it.
If your ad is written badly or inaccurately, then you might end up spending all of your advertising budget drawing clicks from folks who never had any real intention of looking at your product or service anyway. So, you must make sure your ad is effective and that it is designed to draw clicks only from those people who would be genuinely interested in your topic. You want to try to dissuade the ‘tire kickers’ as far as possible.
Create your AdBrite ads campaign, pay for it, and then get the code from the site so that you can add the application to your profile, with the ad embedded in it.
It’s a great way to make money by using Facebook!
