Are you using your social networking skills to make money? I know that this may seem a bit off topic for this blog but the reality is that as librarians we are nearly all suffering. There are hiring freezes everywhere. Many of us don’t have jobs or we are underemployed and library school is expensive thus causing many of us to have a lot of debt. I am currently making quite a bit of extra income with social networking so I thought I would share some tips with the rest of you in hopes that I can help you.
1. Develop as many relationships as possible and network with new people.
2. Offer value to others. Give before you can receive.
3. Start some kind of an online business, whether you write and sell your own information products, offer some kind of a service or partner with a direct sales company does not matter but you need to have something to sell.
4. Blog and sell advertising to make money and promote your blog via social networking.
5. Sell your crafts or other items that you make.
6. Do affiliate marketing.
7. Get paid to write. One of my favorite places for this is Examiner.com You can then promote your writing on social networking sites to earn even more money.
8. Use social networking to find a job.
