Well, thanks to some very useful and user-friendly applications, today almost anyone who has a Facebook page, can make money in a variety of ways. With one simple installation, you can be on your way to making money on Facebook.
Of course, like any other method of making money, especially making money on the Internet, it takes hard work and persistence to be able to make a decent amount of money on Facebook.
Although, these applications make it very easy to get started on the path of making money with Facebook, it’s the strategy and a well thought out plan, combined with persistence and hard work that ultimately factors in your success or failure in making money with Facebook.
More than anything, to make this opportunity a profitable one, you will have to promote your Facebook page and get as many fans as you can. If you look at people who make money with Twitter, their biggest concern is to add as many followers as they can. Obviously, the more fans and friends you have, the more money you will ultimately make with these apps on your Facebook page.
With that said, let’s find out how to get money from Facebook. Here are some applications you can use to make money with Facebook:

1- Radical Buy This is almost like a Facebook-made eBay. You can sell anything on your Facebook page using this unique app. List an item and have it visible to all Facebook users instantly. Now, the cool think is that you can offer commission to others who will sell your items on their Facebook page, allowing you to reach more potential buyers. Of course, that means even if you don’t have any item for sale, you can show other people’s item on your Facebook page and make money with the commission you get for selling their stuff.

Sadly, RadicalBuy has discontinued its widgets and apps and doesn’t work any more. I will try to find another good app that can be help you make money with your Facebook account, as soon as I can.

2- My Merch Store Zazzle is an innovative website where you can make money selling T-shirts and other customizable items. It allows you to create and design any product on their site (which is free) and sell them on your Facebook page. Think about the potential buyer base for customized T-shirts, hats, etc, specially if you have a lot of Facebook friends. You can also sell products created by other artists and earn a commission on those. So, even if you don’t want to deal with designing, you have a way to earn extra cash using Facebook with the help of this app.
3- Cafe Press  It’s the same idea as Zazzle, but with a much bigger and well-known online store. CafePress lets you easily sell any product from anti Obama Shirts to pro Obama Shirts and everything in between on your Facebook page and make money, whether it was created by you or someone else.
4- Ether Ether is a website where you can make money answering questions asked by different people. But now, you can use their new application on Facebook to make money while giving advice to people over the phone. If you’re good at giving advice, this may be the way for you to make some extra money on Facebook. Also if you know a second language, this app makes it easy to teach others and make money. You set the rates and Ether provides a number that individuals can call. The call will then be forwarded to your personal telephone number.
5- Music Blaster With MusicBlaster you can put a simple little music store on your Facebook page and sell music from BlastMyMusic.com. You earn 5% for each song sold.

6- Garage Sale The name says it all, it’s the good old Garage Sale, but a Facebook style Garage Sale. Simply add Garage Sale to your profile page and list everything you want to sell. When someone buys something, Garage Sale automatically bills the buyer’s credit card and lets you know when to ship the item. Your money is deposited directly into your PayPal account, or if you prefer, you can request payment by check. However, they do charge a 5% commission on the total sales price, but that’s all. No other fee for setup or anything like that.
