Last week I spoke about How To Go Viral on social media. This weeks blog is about using your audience/following to generate income.
When I first started my YouTube and blogger site years ago I had no idea of its potential. I carelessly vlogged about my life, which of course consisted mostly of beauty and cosmetics. I began to receive numerous messages to join campaigns, promote advertisers, and review products. For many I was hesitant but I did get free products and joined blogging social sites. years later after the buzz i had dwindled I realized I could have monetized many of my videos, or obtained money from my former post. I wish I knew what I know now, I wish I was more consistent and I wish I took it more serious regardless of my situations.
Although I wont go to in-depth, here are a few ways to make money from your online presence:
1. Advertising (ie: Google Adsense): usually getting paid per click when you post about the company. You can use links or have actual ads on your site or social media page.
2. Affiliate Marketing: Companies will pay per person that visits their site or purchase products. Some sites pay based on the amount of people that follow you.
3. Selling Your Own/Service: Most people you know will either support or share, its free publicity on your own page.
Now, I know at first it may start off as chump change but when you are persistent and consistent the possibilities can make you a millionaire, as many on YouTube.
QUESTIONS TO THE AUDIENCE: Are you making money online? doing what? | Will you now consider using your following to generate income?

This is truly amazing, I too wasn’t always knowledgeable about getting paid from a following until I found out that YouTube will pay you about four cents for each view. I do not currently make an income except for what I post on The Buzz, but I do need to better market myself.
