“Twitter and Facebook are tools for doing business? Have you heard of that friend who sells jewelry and purses through Facebook? Or that person that made a very popular game and became an advertising panel on Facebook? Every business idea has always aimed to sell to make money because if you are not sure that goal will be anything but a business. So the big question is why is that big companies have been dabbling heavily in social networks? … The answer is simple: because they know that there are potential customers and hence can make money on these social networks.
Perhaps the motivation you when you opened your account on Facebook or Twitter was connected with friends and experience communicating with people who do not know. Large companies however they do because they want to make money. One of the great advantages that the internet has given us, is that one need not have large amounts of money to develop business strategies before they could be reserved for large enterprises.
That is why we too can make money on social networks like Facebook or Twitter.
But then, how I can make money on Facebook and Twitter?. Here is a step forward and then three business models that can be combined to earn money in social networks:
1. Previous Step – Build My Own Social Network. On the Internet, like any other business idea, you must have an audience, an audience with which we can then go on to develop our business model to sell and make money.
So before thinking about making money on Facebook or Twitter or any other network, we have a network of contacts within these social networks. Facebook will be the construction of “fanatics ¨ page of our business idea on Facebook and Twitter will be building a ¨ network of followers” to our tweets.
To build that home network within these social networks should follow a clear strategy to provide valuable content that is relevant to capture the attention of our fans or followers. Such content must be designed taking into account the sales process then I will develop.
I mean, if I have intended to sell floral arrangements and social networks, publications or my tweets on my “wall” will have to be a matter relating to enlist people who are interested then buy those flower arrangements. Perhaps valuable tips on how to woo a woman, valuable tips on decorating, care of plants or related topics. The subsequent sale process will thus be much more easy and natural as the fans that I will be of higher quality than quantity maybe.
2. Models for making money in social networks. Once you have your own social network on Twitter or Facebook, will I have to go to the sale to earn money as a business idea that I was always my goal.
Building my own network but I must never stop moving ceremony following the process of making money and there are several business models that can be followed and which are not mutually exclusive as can be combined. Among the most important are the following:
2.1. Use only as leverage social networking to generate traffic to my website which will develop the sales process. This is the most common and perhaps the most advisable given that social networks are very sensitive to direct sales process.
Both Twitter and Facebook all you do is give news of interest to attract the attention of my potential clients and proceed very carefully to drift to my website where they find the products I’m selling.
One way is by example, that more information about the note I posted is on my website.
2.2. Develop direct sales. The previous model can be recommended for more established business ideas but for someone who wants to start earning money on Twitter and Facebook may not be able to refer traffic to your personal website that might not have.
In this case, no choice but to go to direct sales of products in social networks and there are some basic tips:
- To publish news that is selling 2 to 3 times at most during the day. Once in the morning, once at noon and again at night so that the news reaching the largest number of audience. Do not do more to avoid falling into the SPAM.
- Add to Twitter as a hashtag # enventa which is very popular.
- In Facebook add photos of product to sell and use Twitter apps that let you do the same (eg Twitpic or use TweetDeck).
- While you do not have a personal website to provide more information about the product using free tools such as Free Market or a classified system.
- Geographically locate the place where you are on Facebook and on Twitter as the sale usually closed it with someone close to you so hard that you will ship the products to other cities or even countries unless you are selling digital products .
2.3. Earn money through advertising of third parties. In this business model the step explained in section 1. is essential and there they more interested in the number of people we have on our network rather than the quality of our followers.
In this model I earn money by promoting products, for advertising and for that I must be a person of great “influence” on social networking and this is measured by the number of followers or the amount of fans you have.
More and more programs are emerging to develop advertising on social networks so this model will become more profitable by the competition that exists.
Good luck in your business over the Internet, if you have a clear strategy, make money online using social networking can become a very profitable business idea that can develop at home.

LinkedIN, This network has become an indispensable tool for professionals listed on the market, and also for the Headhunters. That social networks are part of the strategy of almost every business márketig is nothing new. But Linkedin , created in 2002 especially for professionals, is a tool that is less talked about, even though its features make it convenient to know what it is.
Developed for users to set the world on 2.0 an action to raise awareness of skills, experience and skills, Linkedin and reached 80 million users worldwide and can generate an extensive network of contacts, encouraging networking.
To Ximena Rodriguez, manager of customer headhunting firm Chilean SommerGroup , Linkedin is a real showcase for professionals, where they can place their careers to the market.
In addition, it lists as a great opportunity for headhunters. “You can locate someone with the ideal profile for a particular job,” he says. Also indicates that professionals can receive offers but they are not looking, even abroad, “he says. But LinkedIn is also a good platform to exchange information and discuss issues of particular interest. “People can obtain knowledge and contact with people you normally could not, in particular to develop and provide knowledge,” said Miguel Fernandez, a telecommunications engineer and professor of Spanish Mondragon.
To make the most of Linkedin possible, we ask advice on these and other experts who gave us their “tips”:
1. Update your profile and think the picture
“The first recommendation is to constantly update your information, those interested in your profile will have more information about what you do and how to work. It analyzes the content of your resume online, “said Juan Lozano, CEO of the Mexican agency Online Direct Advertising . For Internet marketing consultant Carlos Cabrera , of Peru, the state-defined in the header of the profile-is extremely important. “Try to be specific but showing your skills in a couple of lines. That will be the first impression to visitors of your profile, so be smart and think about it what you put in that little space, “he warns. This network was created for professionals has 80 million users worldwide.
Miguel Fernandez stressed that the picture is essential, “A profile without a photo is not interested in anybody,” he said. Of course, find LinkedIn is not the same as Twitter or Facebook. “Keep in mind that it is a professional profile, obviously not going to upload a photo that makes you look funny or sexy (even if you are), you must look professional,” adds Cabrera.
2. Do not neglect the extract, which is where the essence
“In many profiles there extract, despite its importance, it is a few paragraphs summarizing what you’re good. That can make the difference between hire you or your company or not do, “says Fernandez.
With the implementation of Google Presentation , you can record a short video which you can then add to a profile. “It has an effect,” says Fernandez.

3. Develop good and true contacts
“If you have contacts, you will have visibility on Linkedin is very limited,” said Fernandez. To add to people who do not know, you always have to be submitted with justification. There must always be some link, even the simple interest in the work of the other person.
Customize the direction of public profile and add it to your own e-mail signature is a good trick for adding contacts. “So you’re more likely to have more contacts when exchanging emails with people,” says Fernandez.
“This is a professional network, not friends, no hobbies,” says Juan Carlos Barahona, professor of management in technology innovation and INCAE Business School , adding that one should never accept strangers.
“Look for quality rather than quantity of contacts, as the value of this network is that the people you can find is through people you know who can give professional references,” says Baker.
Explains the academic evidence shows that in executive positions, the recommendations of the “friends of friends” are those that facilitate recruitment.
Carlos Cabrera noted that the contacts should be cultured, ie, the relations must have a value on their own to stay in time, “otherwise you would become a collector of connections,” he says.
“The idea is to look at LinkedIn as your conference room versus your relationships on Facebook or Twitter, which are cafeteria conversations,” says Cabrera.
4. Participate in forums
Should be active, to arouse the curiosity of people on LinkedIn, they should not forget that if you enter almost always for something specific. Thus, you can search for groups by topic, with discussions and news sector, where it is possible to obtain new knowledge and demonstrate competence.
“The other peculiarity of the groups is that you can access the profiles of all members, whether or not your own contacts,” said Fernandez, which in practice is access to resume databases on specialized topics and use of leave own, as if they want the thing.
5. Recommend
Although according to Ximena Rodriguez “headhunting companies will always require recommendations from the previous employer,” is good to have a lot of recommendations from the network. “Ask your friends, colleagues or coworkers that you recommend, and have higher qualifications in Linkedin” says Lozano. And attention, which is also good to recommend, since the act confers authority and legitimacy
