Social Media Monetization: Marketing Products Vs. Selling Your Own Products

[Nomad]

Some common social media monetization methods include marketing products for businesses and individuals and selling your own products. If you have a huge following, businesses and individuals will contact you to promote their products or services. You can earn through sponsored posts, shout outs, etc. If you have your own products, you can also use your social platforms to sell your own products, like hand crafted items, or merch, digital goods, or services. Which one do you prefer?

I would personally go with selling my own products or services through the use of social media. Since i don't have other products to market and my social media account still has a long way to go before i can monetize it.

I liked how you explained the different ways to earn money through social media. It’s true that having a large following increases your chances of getting ads and business partnerships.

Personally, I prefer to sell my own products—like handmade items or digital products. It gives me freedom and builds my own brand.

But also, partnering with other businesses is a great way to increase your income. The key is to choose a method that fits your goals.
