You can upload your products’ images and add the price and description. You can create an online store on the Facebook marketplace and send people to buy your stuff online. 

2. Videos: Facebook as a social media platform has a video section where you can find any kind of video from entertainment to sports and even news. You can make money with the video section by posting videos related to what you do or the products and services you sell or if you have a talent like art painting, you can post videos and in the description on the video can include a link to 

• Affiliate offers
• Your ecommerce website 
• Your freelance profile/ portfolio 
• Donation page and so on

If you have any kind of link where people can pay you, just simply add it to your videos. Its very powerful. 

3. Gaming: Playing games on your computer, console or even mobile phone is a lot of fun but do you know you can take it to the next level and get paid for playing your games on Facebook. The gaming industry is now a multi billion dollar industry and because of this Facebook literally has created a gaming section on their platform dedicated specifically for gamers.

You can play your games and stream them live on Facebook. Once you are consistently using Facebook to stream your games and growing your followers you can monetize your gaming channel in so many different ways like collecting donations, doing sponsorship ads, selling your own merchandise, products, affiliate marketing and so much more. Gamers now have a lot of opportunities to make money online with Facebook. 

4. Facebook groups: This is another way to make money with Facebook. Creating Facebook groups has been one of the oldest forms of doing business on the platform and this works really well especially with network Marketing and investment schemes. Facebook groups are for building an online community within Facebook. Its an online community that shares the same interests and values. It’s quite easy to build connections and trust with your group members when you help nd provide value. You can make money with your Facebook group once you have a substantial amount of active members. You can sell your products or specifically promotional offers and send links to your website.

5. Join Facebook groups: You can join multiple Facebook groups in your niche and Post engaging and valuable pieces of content with the community and build some authority and trust within the groups. Then you can refer people to your website, affiliate offers, Landing pages etc. It is a gradual process but you can use this method to generate free organic traffic to your website. Just make sure you provide value to your groups and don’t spam groups with links, you could get kicked out or banned.

6. Facebook page: This is very similar to Facebook groups. But a Facebook page can do a bit more. While Facebook groups are more of a close circle thing, a Facebook page has other features that you can use to make money like, running online Advertisement for your products and services and you send traffic to your landing page/ sales page, collect leads and make sales on your ecommerce store. Facebook allows you to do this only with your Facebook page. You can also grow your Facebook page organically with Facebook likes and eventually monetize your Facebook page.

7. Running Facebook Ads: This is one of the most direct and most powerful ways to make money with Facebook. It’s a paid method but it can be super effective when you are advertising the right thing at the right time. You can Run a Facebook advertising campaign, start getting traffic and see results in a matter of hours. If you have some budget to run Facebook ads and you don’t want to spend too much time and energy growing a Facebook page or group to sell your stuff then please run Facebook Ads. If you want to learn how to run profitable Facebook Ads for your business then I can show you how to become a pro.

8. Facebook Live: Live streaming videos is also a very powerful way to make money on Facebook. Since gamers already have a dedicated section, Facebook live is more like for people that are not really into playing games but for other niches. You can build a following on Facebook Live by providing great content for your followers and then start monetizing.

9. Being an Influencer: Becoming an Influencer on Facebook is also very powerful but you need to be very consistent and creative. You can build a strong fan base on Facebook and it can actually change your life forever. Influencers can always influence their followers to buy their stuff or other people’s stuff because the fans will always support them and than can generate a lot of money.

10. Fundraiser: If you have an amazing project or a powerful cause, the Facebook fundraiser section can be what you need to get donations. People will have to follow and support your project for them to use the fundraiser for donations. For those who are Influencers or page owners with lots of followers, this might be much easier to use. 

11. Facebook messenger: Although there have been some limitations with the Facebook messenger in regards to business owners sending product offers but I still included it on this list because it still works if you know your way around it. It works like every other messaging platform (WhatsApp, Instagram DM) and you can chat with leads and convert them into customers. If you run Facebook messaging Ads you can use it to sell your offers. 

12. Facebook stories: This is quite a new method of selling things on Facebook but it actually works like WhatsApp status. If you have people on your Facebook account that follow your stories then you can use it to promote your business as well.

13. Facebook ads management: Now this is when you actually use Facebook as a service to other businesses. You can become a Facebook Ads manager for other people. Facebook has a lot of technicalities and business owners most of the time do not have enough time or the skills to run Facebook ads properly and successfully. If you have the skills and experience in running successful Ad campaigns then you can offer your expertise to other business owners. You can find clients on freelance websites like Fiverr and Upwork who are looking for a Facebook Ads manager.

14. Sell Facebook accounts: This is not a conventional way of doing business or making money on Facebook but I added it on this list because it is something some people are looking for and if you have multiple Facebook accounts then you can sell them to make some cash. Some business owners need new Facebook accounts to run Ads as a result of probably losing their previous Ads account. So it’s something people need. But I must warn you that Facebook frowns at using multiple accounts and your account can be blocked so you need to understand Facebook terms and conditions as regards to using more than one account and how you can avoid getting banned before selling your account.

15. Facebook page management: This is similar to being a Facebook Ads manager only this time it’s all about managing Facebook Pages. Some businesses want to grow their online presence on Facebook and they need someone that can also post content and respond to feedback. You can provide such services to business owners and earn a monthly income.

16. Facebook page cover design: This is also service based and you will need to know how to do graphic design for Facebook pages. There is demand for this fairly simple work online. It’s something you can easily learn and do for people and get paid as a side hustle.

17. Facebook jobs: You can also get jobs on Facebook. Remote jobs are quite popular these days. A lot of businesses can hire you from home and you still get paid as long as you deliver the job. For example, let’s say you want to work as a Facebook page manager, you can simply search for such jobs on Facebook now and apply with your CV and cover letter.

18. Revive blocked Facebook Ads account: This is a serious problem for businesses using Facebook to run Ads for their business. If you know how to appeal to Facebook and revive blocked Facebook Ads accounts then you can turn it into a service based business and I can assure that there are a lot of people facing this problem and would be glad to get it resolved.

19. Events: You can also host events and get people on Facebook to attend. Whether it’s like an online live event or in person, Facebook has the events section for you to use. You can create your event and drive some attention to it with your followers or run ads so that you can get people to be interested and register for the event. You can also promote your product or service at the event and make money.  

20. Facebook personal account: Your Facebook personal account usually consist of your friends and family, but if you are just start a business or you are just starting to promote your business on Facebook one of the best ways is to get your business of the ground is by selling your stuff to people who already know you and they are on your Facebook personal account. You can also get your friends and family to help you share your promotion and it can really help you make your first sales online.
