Easiest Way To Make Money From Social Media

There are actually many ways to make money from social media. However, you need a strong fan base to make it work. In this post, we will discuss about some ways, which could help you to earn some money from your social media.

Twitter is a great way for people with same interest to connect and share their ideas and thoughts. You may know some Twitter accounts with some large number of followers. They just tweet funny things and some links. It's hard to accept but they are probably making some big amount of money with their tweets.

Just like them, you can also earn some money with your 140 chars. You may have to tweet, blog, tout, post, upload or pin. Here are some ways to use your social media power:

Social Media Manager:

A social media manager is the person responsible for managing a brand or company’s social media presence. Social media management doesn’t require a lot of education or experience as you may already have the skills to start doing it right now.

A social media manager manages their client's social presence across all the social platforms. As a social media manager, you'll be represent your client across all the social platforms that they intend to use like Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, LinkedIn, Google+, Pinterest…etc.

It's your duty to interact with your brand's audience, reply them, build social media strategies, keep it clean, and more. I bet that you already know how to do most of the things. According to Mashable.com, a social media manager’s salary could go beyond the $100k mark depending on their location and expertise.

Advertising Products:

If you have a strong fan base then you can also use your social media profile to advertise a client's products or websites. Your client will pay you for tweeting or posting his product on your social networking profile. It could be a tweet, blog post or even a YouTube video.

Get started by contacting local dealers and new websites who want to get out into the market. It's just like putting a banner on your blog. Twitter and YouTube are the best way to advertise your client's products.

You can also promote and recommend certain products or services to your followers. You can also use some pay-per-click services that allows you to earn by tweeting their products.

Affiliate Marketing:

Affiliate marketing is a type of performance-based marketing in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought about by the affiliate's own marketing efforts.

Your affiliate host will provide you with your personal affiliate link. You can always track your link by using url shortening services, such as bit.ly. So whenever a follower clicks on your link, it is considered as a referral on your behalf, and you will get some percentage of that sale.

For example, if someone is asking your advice on the best domain registrar, you can refer them to your domain registrar via your referral link. The amount varies with different affiliate programs.

That's all for this time folks. Remember, you can earn with all above methods but keep it clean and spam free. In some future posts, we will be focusing on Money Blogging.

Combine Multiple Feeds Into One

Using web feed is a way of providing content to the user's browser or desktop in an efficient and easy way. In this post, we will not talk about creating a feed or anything like that. It's always hard to track every single feed, so we'll combine them into one.

By combining feeds you'll be able to put a variety of content into your website or favorite rss aggregator with a single rss feed by merging RSS feeds.

We don't need to download any crappy software, plugin or extension to combine our feeds. Last night, I searched and used bunch of services to combine/merge/mix feeds into one. Finally, I found three great services to do this, which are following:

RSS Mix: Mix any number of RSS feeds into one unique new feed! To create a new RSS Mix, copy and paste the URLs of the existing source feeds into the RSS Mix and hit Create! No signup required!!!

Feed Killer: The service is extremely simple and it is completely free! Enter the URLs of the feeds you want to merge Specify how many stories/entries from that feed you would like to have in your custom feed. No signup required!!!

Feed Combine: Feed combine can mix your feeds and combine RSS, RDF and Atom feeds into one feed-format! Just register, combine your favorite RSS feeds and subscribe the easy-to-use RSS feed URL.

That was easy....Don't forget to leave your response.

Twitter Followers Box Widget For Blogger

Facebook provides us a Like Box widget, which is great way to get more likes to your Facebook page from your blog/site. While Twitter developers were just too lazy to create something like that, Mark Carey created a Twitter Fan Box, which works just like the popular Facebook Fan Box, with a few small differences.

Twitter Fan Box displays the 10 most recent followers, which encourages people to follow your Twitter account. When someone clicks the "Follow" button, a popup appears for them to login to their Twitter account or authorize Twitter Fan Box.

Add Twitter Fan Box To Blogger:

• Go To Blogger > Layout > Add A Gadget > HTML/JavaScript

• Paste following code and click on Save:

<!-- Twitter Fan Box -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://s.moopz.com/fanbox_init.js"></script><div id="twitterfanbox"></div><script type="text/javascript">fanbox_init("HardeepAsrani");</script>
<!-- End Twitter Fan Box -->

Don't forget to replace HardeepAsrani with your Twitter handler. You can test this widget by following me:

Choosing A Perfect Name For Your Blog

Choosing a perfect name for your blog can be one of the most hardest and important thing. You want a name that portrays whatever your blog is about in a clear and concise manner. You can choose two types of names for your blog, relevant or something outside the box. Below are things to consider when choosing a blog name:

Related To Your Niche:  Make sure your blog's name is related to your blog's niche. It should give your visitors an idea about your blog. It's recommended that you focus on the main topic of your blog.

Easy To Remember: It must be easy for your visitors to remember. Be creative with your name but make it short and easy. Don't choose a ten word name for blog, which would look a bit awful. Stick with easy to remember names. Always try to pick a name with two or three words. Bored Panda is an epic name!!

Search For Available Domain Names:  This point is often ignored by people, probably because it's really hard to find a domain name of your choice that has not been registered yet. Always choose .com, .net or .org for your blog. If you're blogging about yourself then .me or .name is also a good choice.

Don't Be A Copycat: Copying a famous website or blog's name is not a great idea. You don't want to copy one of your competitor's blog names, so don't forget to Google a name before choosing it. Picking a famous website's name is also not good for your reputation. People will look your blog as a copy, even if it's not. Make sure it’s a name that will not get confused with other products, or services for that matter.

That's all for this time. These are just some few tips from me. In additional, asking your family and friends is also a great idea.

Hiding Links Inside Blogger Comments

Good News!!! The percentage on SPAM has not increased since the last year. Great, you know how high was the percentage last year? 100%!!!

Spam everywhere on your blog comments? Well, it's hard to find and delete every single spam comment from your blog. Even in Blogger, spammers will always target your blog's comment form to spread spam. Blogger's inbuilt spam filter will stop almost every possible spam comments but this will not solve the problem.

Last year, I shared a nice way to reduce email spam. Prayag Verma came up with a simple jQuery powered hack that hides any clickable link and just displays its text.

Code:

<script src='https://widcraft.googlecode.com/svn/jquery.js'/>
<script> 

$('.comment-content a[rel$=nofollow]').replaceWith(function(){return ($(this).text());});

</script>

Add it just before the </body> tag in the Edit HTML. If you want to completely remove the links from the comments , then use this code instead:

<script src='https://widcraft.googlecode.com/svn/jquery.js'/>
<script> 

$('.comment-content a[rel$=nofollow]').hide());

</script>

This works for the Threaded Comments in Blogger, incase you want to make it work for the old Comments in Blogger , then the code is as follows:

<script src='https://widcraft.googlecode.com/svn/jquery.js'/>
<script> 

$('.comment-body p a[rel$=nofollow]').replaceWith(function(){return ($(this).text());});

</script>

Hope this will reduce some spam from your comments. Don't forget to leave your comments...

3D Flipping Menu For Blogger

Here is a pure css based menu with 3d flip concept. Menu items will flip on mouse hover. Menu is inspired from bunch of flipping menus, and is created by David Walsh. Seriously, David is one of my favorite web developers.

You can download or check a demo of this menu at this link. The HTML structure consists of a list with links. The animation centers around transitions and transforms.  The actual A element wont move -- the parent SPAN element will.

Adding This Menu To Blogger:

Finally, it's time for me to begin the tutorial, which is not much tricky. We're going to add this menu to blogger in two steps. Time for the first one:

• Go To Blogger > Template > Edit HTML > Click on "Proceed"

• Search for ]]></b:skin>

• Post following css just above ]]></b:skin>:

        /* 3d flipping menu by BWidgets.com */
        .block-menu {

10 Stylish CSS Blockquotes For Blogger

Blockquote element defines "a section [within a document] that is quoted from another source". Earlier today, I spent several hours to find and create these 10 stylish blockquotes. Some are created by me and rest are from bunch of sites. Demo and download of this project is available at this link.

How To Add Blockquote Styling On Your Blog:

Before I post styling, you should know how to replace these stylish blockquotes with your template's default one.

Go To Blogger > Template > Edit HTML > Search for following code:

.post blockquote

 or

.post-body blockquote

Now replace whole CSS with our custom styles, you can find them in next heading. Here is an example of your template's default blockquote:

.post blockquote {
 Some CSS HERE
}

10 Stylish Blockquotes:

Below are our 10 CSS blockquotes examples and their code, which is quoted in it:

New Floating Social Sharing Widget For Blogger

Earlier this year, I shared an awesome jQuery floating social sharing widget for Blogger. Now, it's time to share another one, which is from Making Different. It'll really approach your visitors to like, tweet and +1 your blog posts.

Also, it'll appear when your reader will reach your blog post's footer, which will allow him to share this post after reading it.

As of writing, I'am also using this widget on BWidgets. Hopefully, I'll also add this widget to my other blogs, which will help me to gain more social media attention.

Adding This Widget:

Adding this widget is so simple but a bit lengthy. We'll add this widget on our blog in four simple steps. First one is below:

• Go To Blogger > Template > Edit HTML > Click on "Proceed" > Mark the "Expand Template Widgets" option:

Adding jQuery Script:

If your blog already have a jQuery script, then you can skip this step. Now, after following first step, we have to add jQuery script on our template:

• Search and add below snippet code before </head> tag:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://widcraft.googlecode.com/svn/jquery.js"></script>

Adding Trigger:

This step will work as our widget trigger. Make sure you that "Expand Template Widgets" option is marked:

• Search following code in your template:

<data:post.body/>

• Immediately below it, add the following snippet.

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<div id='md-active-share-comment-marker'></div>
</b:if>

All Done....Final part time...

Adding Social Sharing Widget:

Finally, it's time for our final step. After this, you can check your blog to see this awesome widget.

• Find and add the below snippet code before </body> tag:

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>
<script src='https://widcraft.googlecode.com/svn/FloatingSocialSharingWidget.js' type='text/javascript'/>
<div id='md-share-window' style='width: 100%; display: block; position: fixed; top: -450px; left: 0px; background-color: rgba(235, 88, 60, 0.8); z-index: 100; padding: 0 0 10px 0;'>
<div style='width: 800px; margin: 20px auto;'>
<span id='twitter' style='float:left; margin: 0 5px; padding: 3px 0 0 0;'>
<a class='twitter-share-button' data-count='vertical' href='http://twitter.com/share'>Tweet</a>
<script src='http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js' type='text/javascript'/></span>
<span id='md-plusone' style='float:left; padding-top: 4px; margin: 0 5px;'>
<script src='https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js' type='text/javascript'/>
<g:plusone size='tall'/></span>
<span id='md-fblike' style='float: left; margin: 0 5px; padding: 4px 0 0; width: 50px; overflow: hidden;'>
<div id='fb-root'/>
<script src='http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1'/>
<fb:like font='' href='' layout='box_count' send='false' show_faces='false' width='50'>
</fb:like>
</span>          
<div style='display:block; margin: 0 5px; padding: 5px 0px 0px; color: #FFFFFF'>
Are you Awesome? Legend has it that Awesome people can and will share this post!<br/>
<span style='color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 18px;'><data:blog.pageName/></span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</b:if>

Save your template....It's done :)

Still Not Working?

Widget still not working?? Then just blame it on BIEBER!!! Just kidding,

The Like Box is a social plugin that enables Facebook Page owners to attract and gain Likes from their own website. Almost every blogger is using bunch of Facebook plugins on their blog, which is the easiest way to attract new fans to your Facebook page.

Don't you just hate that default Facebook like box design, which really sucks with that header and footer. Do you want to remove it? Yupp, Digital Inspiration (Oppa Labnol Style! ) has found an amazing way to customize your simple like boxes with some CSS touch.

So, I found two amazing customized Facebook like boxes from Digital Inspiration, which are really great. Below is an image of default Facebook like box, which is so common.

Default Facebook Like Box:

Now, as you can see in above image, which is an image of default Facebook like box, it really sucks. I guess, it's only for blue and plain sites. However, you can generate your page's like box widget at this link. You'll find millions of like boxes around the internet.

Custom Facebook Like Box Style #1:

Finally, we got rid of that ugly header and footer. Also, you can check a pic of mine in above widget, which is located at first block. Me and Eminem (Photoshop Rocks!!!). Anyways, copy the code below and paste it anywhere inside your blog or website:

<style type="text/css">
 .facebookOuter {
    background-color:#F4F4F4;
    width:250px;
    padding:10px 0 10px 10px;
    height:250px;
    border:1px solid #CCCCCC;
  }
 .facebookInner {
    height:250px;
    overflow:hidden;
  }
</style>

<div class="facebookOuter">
 <div class="facebookInner">
  <div class="fb-like-box"
      data-width="245" data-height="290"
      data-href="http://www.facebook.com/bwidgetz"
      data-border-color="#F4F4F4" data-show-faces="true"
      data-stream="false" data-header="false">
  </div>         
 </div>
</div>
          
<div id="fb-root"></div>

<script>(function(d, s, id) {
  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
  js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1";
  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
</script>

 Replace bwidgetz with your Facebook page's username.

Custom Facebook Like Box Style #2:

This one is even more better. As you can see in above image, this widget is customized very well with some beautiful CSS. Also, you can again see an image of mine with Eminem :p

Finally, it's time to share code of this beautiful like box. Copy the code below and paste it anywhere inside your blog or website:

<style>
.facebookOuter {
width: 280px;
height: 150px;
border-radius: 3px;
position: relative;
background-color:#f4f4f4;
padding:5px 10px 15px 0;
}
.facebookOuter, .facebookOuter:before, .facebookOuter:after {
background: #f4f4f4;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
}
.facebookOuter:before, .facebookOuter:after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
bottom: -3px;
left: 2px;
right: 2px;
height: 1px;
border-top: none;
}
.facebookOuter:after {
left: 4px;
right: 4px;
bottom: -5px;
box-shadow: 0 0 2px #ccc;
}
.facebookInner {
height:155px;
overflow:hidden;
}
</style>

<div class="facebookOuter" style="float:left;">
<div class="facebookInner">
  <div class="fb-like-box"
      data-width="300" data-height="179"
      data-href="http://www.facebook.com/bwidgetz"
      data-border-color="#F4F4F4" data-show-faces="true"
      data-stream="false" data-header="false">
  </div>
 </div>
</div>
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
</script>

Replace bwidgetz with your Facebook page's username.

More Customization:

The default background color of both Facebook Like boxes is #F4F4F4 but you can use any other web color. Also, if you want to have a more wider or taller Like box for your website, you can need to change the width and height values. All credits on this amazing work goes to Digital Inspiration.

Also, I used Purple Purse fonts on images for this article. Don't forget to leave your comments...
