Whether you want to handle advertising for another company, and charge them a fee, or you want to advertise your own services, this is a great way to make money online. FaceBook ads are especially targeted, because they know a lot about their users and target down the demographic to exactly what you are looking for.
2. Developing Apps. Apps are the new craze on social networks. If you are app developer, there are many ways you can make money.

Blogging can be great for some extra money. I still get around $300-$500 a month off of my blog, which I work on 30 minutes twice a week! To monetize your blog, there are a few things you will need to do to maximize the revenue you will make. Here are a few tips I can give you:

• Use Google AdSense! AdSense is great for easy money. People click and you get paid, as easy as that! Google automatically puts up ads that are relative to the content on your website.
• Use WordPress on your own host and buy a .com domain! This will make your website look a lot more professional, plus, you have no limits on how much you want to monetize your blog.
• Register for Clickbank and find some products that are relative to the content on your blog and would appeal to your target demographic.
• Connect with similar blogs, leave comments and encourage them to leave comments on your blog. This will encourage discussions, resulting in more traffic, and more money for you.
• Once your traffic is high and steady, approach companies that sell products in your target demographic. Tell them you are willing to offer private ad space. This is the most lucrative method of making money on your blog.
• Offer companies reviews of their products for a fee. This is an easy couple hundred dollars you can make.
• Sign up for Amazon Associates and place relative products on your blog’s sidebar, and within posts.
• Sign up for Aweber or GetResponse and build a mailing list. Mailing lists look great to private advertisers and provide you with another potential source of revenue.
