How to Make Money on Social Media

The network attracts, the website converts

Social networks give access to huge audiences, but they have three limits for anyone who wants to earn from them. First, they do not belong to you: an account can be restricted or deleted, and rules change without notice. Second, their format leaves little room for explanation, whereas a dating offer needs reassurance and information. Finally, their content disappears quickly, whereas a website page ranks in search and stays findable for years.

The method we defend on every platform fits in one sentence: the social network attracts, your own website presents and converts. The link in your bio, a video description or a channel message leads to a page of your site, never to a raw affiliate link. On that page, the visitor discovers the offer, reads your opinion, sees the note about your compensation and decides whether to sign up.

One platform, one article

Each network has its own codes, formats and rules. Here is the overview you will find in this section:

• Make money on TikTok: the possible levers and the platform's rules.
• Affiliate marketing on TikTok: the clean method, from video to landing page.
• Make money on Instagram: posts, stories, bio link and partnerships.
• Make money on Facebook: page, group, advertising, and why you should never post a direct affiliate link.
• Make money on YouTube: partner program, description and pinned comment.
• Make money on Pinterest: a visual search engine for lasting traffic.
• Make money on Snapchat: a young audience and limits to know.
• Make money on Telegram: building a channel and a community.

The common rules to follow

Whatever the platform, certain rules apply as soon as the subject is dating. The target audience must be adults. Content stays sober, with nothing suggestive. Compensation is disclosed, on the platform when it requires it and on your site systematically. And you avoid any promise of results: no serious method guarantees quick earnings. Each network publishes its own conditions, which change: reread them before launching a series of content.

Before choosing a platform

Ask yourself three questions. Where is my audience, and how old is it? Which format can I produce regularly without wearing myself out? Which page of my site will welcome visitors? Choosing your target audience ties in with the thinking on choosing your niche, and dating themes are detailed in dating niches.

To measure what comes from each platform, assign an identifier to each page or campaign: the method is described in SubID and postback. If you do not have a site yet, begin with getting started, which guides you step by step to your first tracked link.
