Have you ever looked at the amount of friends you have on Facebook, and wondered how you could profit from that? While you can’t actually get paid just for using Facebook, there are a few ways you can use it to let people know that your site exists. The obvious “Check this link out” strategy can work sometimes, but it will only reach people who have you as a friend on Facebook. There are a few other, better ways to turn traffic on Facebook into traffic for you. Facebook offers an advertising program that will display a like to your site on the right hand side of most pages on the site for as little as a few cents per click. This allows you to have a wider audience, as almost everyone on Facebook will see your ad at some point. Another easy way to get your link out is to send an inbox to all your friends, linking them to your site and telling them to forward the inbox to all of their friends. Don’t make it spam or chain mail, however, because you must have some courtesy when promoting your site. Try out these methods, and see if they work for you!
