Should I Earn Cash with Facebook Marketplace?

by John Peters
written by John Peters

​Let’s talk about the art of selling your unused items online. You’ve attempted to feel boujiee using Poshmark. You’ve counted your blessings before a Craigslist transaction. You’ve even tested patience with the overeager eBay customer asking where his item is every 12 hours.

Selling your unused items doesn’t have to be such an uncertain experience, guys. Facebook Marketplace combines the positive aspects of multiple re-selling sites.

  1. It’s connected to the seller’s Facebook which makes it easy to see if it’s a shady situation or not. Check out their friends list (some might even be mutual), interactions, date their page was created, etc. Same goes for the seller being informed about the buyer.
  2. You can usually pick the item up immediately which minimizes turnaround time, and you don’t have to deal with any kind of shipping ordeals or prices.
  3. You can also see the quality and authenticity of the product in person. Users usually meet up in public places and are located close to each other.

Personally, I love re-selling on Facebook Marketplace. If I get a great deal on items, I can sell them and turn a little profit using Marketplace. Now if you’re trying to be super consumer savvy like me, you can even fund the initial purchases with free money from Zap Surveys. I’m all about the side-hustle.

4 Ways To Make Money From YouTube

written by John Peters

Wondering how to make some extra cash off of YouTube? You’re in the right place!

4. Advertise with AdWords

Do you have an existing Youtube channel and looking to build your following? Great! You can extend the reach and impressions of your videos by using Google AdWords. Make sure to go for In-Display ads instead of In-Stream ads. In-Display ads will show up as a suggested video at the top of the results when users search for videos. With this method, you will increase your overall subscriber and viewer-base, and make more money from your channel! Don’t have a YouTube channel? Check out some alternative ways to make money with side jobs here!

3. Affiliate Marketing

If you have even a semi-popular Youtube channel, or a channel geared at a specific audience, you can do affiliate marketing promotions with companies looking to promote their products. How most affiliate campaigns work is you will promote the product at the very beginning of the video, and provide a link to the product / company website in the description of your video. Depending on the deal, you can get paid a flat rate, cost per click (CPC), cost per install (CPI), or a combination of the above for your promotion. You can do the same thing with Twitter and Instagram – for a more in-depth look check out our blog posts about Making Money With Twitter and with Instagram. 

2. Cash Giveaway Channels

There are many YouTube channels that frequently post videos where viewers can be entered into a giveaway to potentially earn free money. Often the only thing you have to do is enter is like or subscribe to the channel, or sometimes comment something specific on the video as well. One such channel is Cash Giveaway.

1. Subscribe to Apps That Pay

How to Make Cash with Twitter

by John Peters
written by John Peters

You’re always excited by how many likes and retweets you can get on whatever combination of 140 characters you can come up with, but what if you could also be making some serious cash while you do it? We came up with a quick list of things you can do to make cash with Twitter !

1. Gain a Following
This one is a no-brainer; to have a decent Twitter account you have to have a lot of followers. There are an infinite amount of ways that you can do this. Maybe you post some hilarious pictures/videos with clever captions. Maybe you post super intriguing articles about history and science that most people would not have found on their own. Maybe you just post cute animal pictures every day. Whatever it is, do it consistently, and make sure everything you post is something you yourself would pay attention to if it were on your feed. 

2. Use the Right Hashtags
This one kind of goes along with step one. There are millions of bots on Twitter with the sole purpose of detecting new posts using certain hashtags then following that account. These may be good early on to boost follower numbers, however this is not the audience you are ultimately trying to reach. Use hashtags that real people would actually be searching, for example if your account was focused on pizza and you used the hashtag #NationalPizzaDay. Do not use hashtags such as #follow4follow or anything of the sort because this will only reach those bots mentioned earlier.

3. Find Advertisers
Once you’ve gained any sort of notoriety and have a decent following, your account is now valuable and you can start finding ways to monetize your popularity. Depending on what demographics you are reaching, different companies will be willing to pay you for sponsored tweets about their products.

4. Use an Ad Platform
There are many reputable ad platforms you can sign up for which take all the pressure of reaching out to companies off of you. Platforms like MyLikes, Ad.ly, and Rev Twt all allow you to choose what advertisers you would like to work with and when you want to tweet promotions for them. Some of these platforms allow you to state how much you want to charge advertisers for promotions from your account, while others take your followers and reputation into account and connect you with campaigns willing to pay you for how extensive your reach is. 

5. Promote your Brand

If you already have an Instagram and YouTube account, keep your viewers engaged across all platforms! It is important to keep a loyal audience, and the best way to do that is to reach them from several different mediums. Continuously cross referencing yourself across various websites is a great way to increase your own popularity and thus add value to your personal brand. If your YouTube channel is monetized, directing all your newfound Twitter followers there is an easy way to generate some extra revenue for yourself.

How to Make Cash With Instagram

by John Peters
written by John Peters

You’re always excited about how many likes you get on your Instagram post, but it’d be more exciting to get paid for those likes. We came up with a pretty awesome way to make cash with Instagram likes

Social media advertising is huge and extremely valuable. Companies will pour money into advertising if it means they can connect to the right customer. And what better way to do so than reaching people on one of the most used social media platforms?

Step 1: Find Your Niche

Question: Why is Instagram advertising so valuable?
Answer: Companies want to reach a specific person that will be interested in their project.

For example, let’s say you start a fishing Instagram page. You make the perfect @name and have the perfect profile picture logo. You post pictures of huge fish, cool ponds and bays, and sentimental fishing pictures.

Let’s fast forward to when you have a ton of followers. You have now created your own niche: An Instagram page full of fishermen. Any company trying to sell a lure or fishing clothes is going to be willing to pay you money to make a post about their product.

Step 2: Get Followers

You have your niche and the page is up. But how do you find people to follow it? This is the hardest part but we have a couple of tricks up our sleeves…

First, you’ll need content. You may have to post for a few weeks without many followers or likes. That’s okay, people aren’t going to follow a page with nothing on it.

Second, you start using hashtags. Use relevant hashtags to your post, that’s how you’ll find the right people. For our fishing example you might use hashtags such as #fishing or #bigbass. And you can use as many hashtags as your heart desires.

Third, follow other people and comment on other fishing posts. This is a great way to directly get your Instagram name out to multiple, specific people.

DO NOT use hashtags such as #likeforlike or #follow4follow because you aren’t going to get the right type of people liking your page. Remember, you need to get followers that campanies want to reach.

Step 3: Find Advertisers

Now that you have all these followers, you can start making money… once you find people willing to pay you. Start with smaller companies. Reach out to companies in your niche through Instagram, Twitter, and their website to tell them you can boost their sales, because you can. You now have a valuable service not only for other companies, but for your audience interested in your niche. In our example, people interested in fishing would be excited to hear about a new crank bait that was just released.

After you find a couple of potential advertisers, you’ll find a perfect price point. Gauge what people are willing to pay and how. You could charge companies a flat rate (one time fee, upfront) or something more creative such as Pay-Per-Like (companies pay $x.xx per like on your post).

In this example, you agree with a lure company that they’ll pay $0.10 per like. You post on Instagram and get 2,100 likes. You just made $210.00 for posting an Instagram picture. I bet you’re more excited about likes now.

How To Make Money Playing Video Games

by John Peters
written by John Peters

There are thousands of successful gamers who make a majority of their income simply by uploading videos of them playing games to YouTube or streaming live on Twitch. Here are a few tips to stand out from the crowd. 

 

1. Pick the Right Game
Unless you are on Ninja-esque levels of Fortnite ability, there is almost no point in starting a channel on games like that. YouTube and Twitch are extremely over saturated with huge titles like Fortnite and Call of Duty, so if you choose to brand your channel around these games be prepared to be buried by other well established channels. A much better strategy is to play a variety of games, and figure out which games you enjoy which also appeal to a wide audience. Some of the best gaming channels play more nostalgic titles on older consoles or mobile apps, while other successful channels play  games you may have never even heard of.

2. Be Entertaining
This one may be a given, but you can’t expect anyone to enjoy watching you if you are completely silent for the entirety of the video. Our advice on this one is pretty straightforward; practice. Record some videos just for yourself, figure out your style and how you want to present yourself. Eventually you will build up enough confidence to produce videos that flow well and engage your audience.

3. Two Heads Are Better Than One
Channels like Game Grumps, Achievement Hunter, TwoBestFriends Play, Funhaus and many other of the most successful gaming channels have all figured out that it is very hard to be engaging by just talking to yourself while playing a game. Sure there are many other gamers who do every video alone, and still manage to get insane amounts of views, but these people possess a very rare talent to be entertaining all on their own. Find a friend or a group of friends and build up a good rapport that viewers will find engaging. This will build confidence and allow you to create content which feels more natural to the audience.

4. Monetize
Once you’ve built up a loyal fan base and become practiced at regularly producing content, it’s time to monetize. There are many ways you can do this, and often times if your channel is big enough you will actually be approached by companies looking to advertise their products on your channel. Obviously most YouTubers opt into pop up ads or videos which play before videos, and while these are a great place to start, the most profitable channels give brief shout outs to various companies or products and include links in their bios.

5. Make the Right Deal
There are many platforms available which connect YouTube personalities with companies willing to pay for promotions on their channels, such as FameBit. While these sites can be an extremely valuable way to make connections, a majority of these platforms actually take a cut of whatever deal you make with advertisers, which instantly reduces the value of your deal. Another common practice is to set a flat rate for a promotion which runs a specified amount of time, for example a 30 second shout out at the beginning of a video for $150. This may be a good deal for your channel, but in many cases channels will prefer this option and turn a blind eye to other deals which could potentially be much more valuable. PPA, or pay per action, is a method of payment which offers you a small amount of money for each user you directly create for a company. For example, if a company is trying to promote an app and offers you a PPI or CPI, that means they will pay you for each install your video generates. This can be an absolutely fantastic option, because you have essentially unlimited earning potential and, depending on how loyal your audience is, you will most likely generate much more income than any fixed rate.
