We also talked about the rules one has to follow in order to earn money through social media. As discussed in the other post, consistency is key. You need to make sure that followers keep coming and the only way to achieve that is to post engaging content frequently. You have to also endeavour to make your content timely and on-trend.
Your content does not have to be a long blog post that probably takes minutes to read. They could be simple graphics or trivial comments on anything at all. The goal is to let your followers know that you still exist on that platform and you are there for whatever they need.
Other methods through which we can earn money on any social media platform.
Marketable Skills
Skills such as writing, editing, graphic designs, painting, etc. can be marketable. All you have to do is upload a portfolio of the best works on your accounts. You could also put up a video detailing your skilful abilities or showcasing your samples. By doing this, you are informing your followers that you major in so-and-so skills and someone who is in need of those particular skills could reach out to you and be willing to pay for them.
Skills are different from knowledge. Whereas knowledge refers to the amount of information you have acquired in a specific field, skills refer to the ability to apply the acquired knowledge in order to solve a problem.
Product Sales
This particular method does not depend on any number of followers you might have. Even if they are few, they might be interested in what you put up for sale, and they might want to patronize you.
You only have to display and sell your own products or services by turning one of your numerous social media accounts into a business account. You have to post pictures of the products you wish to sell alongside brief descriptions that match them. There are social media sites that allow you to your account into a virtual online store and sell items ranging from shoes to accessories to basically anything.
Become A Brand Influencer
A brand influencer (also known as a social media influencer), is anyone who has built an online reputation for themselves by doing and sharing awesome things online and usually has a very high engagement rate. Their followers often make purchasing decisions under the influence of these brand influencers and they trust their opinions on a particular product. Currently, there is a ton of competition on brand influencing as many people are speedily becoming influencers.
As a brand influencer, because of the level of trust that your followers have for you, large companies will pay you for sponsored posts which would help them make more sales. These companies are not only interested in your content but they want to reach their audience through you; they want access to your followers.
Becoming a brand influencer might seem simple, but it does require hard work, dedication, and ample time. You would also need a good smartphone so you can post high-quality pictures.
To start your brand influencing career, you need to choose a topic to talk about. Topics could include lifestyle, food, health, travel, books, fashion, positivity, etc. Most importantly, a large and loyal fanbase sets you on the right path to becoming a successful brand influencer.
