Now these are not part of any scam or “get rich quick” scheme that you may have read or heard about. Facebook is not a marketplace per se, and most of the time the “promote your blog or affiliate on another person’s wall” will not get you the results that you want. Rather, these tips use the recognized applications already available on the site so you can optimize your stay on facebook.


* CafePress Listings. If you are not very familiar with CafePress, it is actually an application in facebook that allows you to design and sell CafePress items. You can create your very own CafePress account from within facebook and you can also sell your products by offering them to people within facebook, whether they are contacts or not.

* Use e3Buy Auction. This is an application where you can sell off things that you want to sell. You can start making money with this feature because people who visit your site will be able to see this application on your profile. So for them to be able to see it, what you need to do is to visit as many profile pages as possible to let other people know you exist.

* Use FlameTunes. Love music? Maybe you are a DJ or someone who just loves to mix and match good music. With this facebook application, you can play and record music with whatever instrument you have then sell it to your contacts and other people on facebook. You can also use mixers or other equipment so you have better flexibility and sound quality.

* Garage Sale. This is an application that is as trusty as air. Garage Sale is a very easy way to sell your old belongings and other second hand items to other people. You can also sell other things that you produce like custom made bead bracelets or other accessories.

* Cash Cliques. This application will pay you to visit or click onto and leave a comment in a certain number of advertisement websites. Other than this pay-per-click scheme, you can also earn by referring or other people to visit the site.

Their are some other traditional ways to earn from facebook like:

* From branding and selling your product
* Put an advertising space on your profile page
