Facebook isn't a secret money pile just waiting to be found, but it can be a reliable source of extra income with some work and a clever approach. Read the steps below to learn how to make money using Facebook.

Method 1 of 3: The Basics

  1. Import Your Blog Posts to Your Facebook Page Step 8.jpg
    1
    Make great posts. The foundation of any successful plan to make money with social media is good content, and lots of it. On Facebook, that means a stream of interesting links, images, and updates every day.
    • Search for a niche and fill it with quality content. It doesn't have to be a niche nobody else is filling, but it should be specific enough that it's clear to the casual observer. For example, maybe you'll post content for cat lovers, mothers, or people with a certain political affiliation. If you plan to market a product with your account, be sure to link the product to your posts in some way.
    • Consider opening up another Facebook account and keeping it separate from your personal account. Use this account for your posts, and link them on your personal Facebook account to let people know about them. Depending on the approaches you use, you might even consider using multiple extra accounts.
    • Give it time. Let your account build up interest over time by continuing to provide fresh and relevant content every day.

    Make a commitment to earn. The only way to reliably make money using Facebook is through persistent work. Like any job, setting a schedule and sticking to it is the key.
    • Organize. Whatever strategy you plan to pursue, you'll probably have to take care of several things every day to make it work for you. Plan out the order and times you'll do them in advance.
    • Saturate your market. Making money with Facebook is more of a numbers game than anything else. Since marketing on Facebook costs nothing except time, you can market as much as you want – even to a point that would be prohibitively expensive any other way – and let the percentages and statistics work their magic one penny at a time.
    • Add aggressively. One of the best ways to increase the number of people looking at your page is to simply add people as friends as often as you can. Most won't accept, but some will.

Method 2 of 3: Making Money Through Affiliate Advertising

  1. Analyse Literature in an Essay Step 11.jpg
    1
    Find an affiliate program. Affiliate programs provide you with a unique ID and marketing materials, and then pay you a commission based on how much business you generate.
    • Most websites you've heard of offer such a program. Since there's no cost to the site for letting you do this, practically anybody can become an affiliate for as many sites as they want.
    • Start with well-known brands. Amazon offers a competitive affiliate program that pays a percentage of any purchase a person makes after clicking through from your post, even if it's not anything you advertised. Apple's iTunes program has an affiliate program as well.
    • Add in smaller programs. Though less likely to generate money on a given day, you can diversify and gradually increase your affiliate revenue by offering a wide range of advertising services to many different businesses.
  2. Come up With a Thesis Step 7.jpg
    2
    Sign up. Once you've decided to market a company as an affiliate, search the company's site and fill out the required forms. This should always be free, and usually only takes a few minutes.
    • Don't ever pay to become an affiliate.
  3. Use Facebook to Research Your Family Tree Step 1.jpg
    3
    Add accounts. Make a Facebook account for each affiliate program or group of programs you sign up for. This allows people to follow your pages based on the things they're interested in, rather than having to sign up for one page full of all different kinds of ads.
    • As mentioned previously, you can use your primary account to repost things from the other accounts periodically, exposing those pages to the audience you've built.
  4. Import Your Blog Posts to Your Facebook Page Step 7.jpg
    4
    Promote your programs. Make posts for each of them daily, and maintain your accounts fastidiously. With luck, and a good central account with a lot of followers, your affiliate accounts will begin to get followers as well. Whenever anyone clicks your posts and buys something from one of your affiliates, you earn money.

Method 3 of 3: Making Money With an E-book

  1. Be an Instagram Hipster Step 10.jpg
    1
    Write an e-book. E-books are just book-format publications that are distributed electronically, rather than printed on paper. Because there's basically no cost to publish an e-book, pretty much anybody with an idea can do it.
    • Take it easy on yourself. Unlike a paper-and-ink book, your e-book doesn't have to be any particular number of pages. In fact, most e-books that are written to generate income are more like e-pamphlets than whole books.
    • Choose a subject that will generate interest. Nonfiction is almost always a better choice than fiction. Oddly enough, e-books that tell people how to make money selling e-books are a popular option, and they apparently sell enough to at least offset the trouble of writing them.
    • Write in an area where you can claim some kind of authority. It'll add cachet to your book. You don't need to show credentials, but you should write about something you're better at than the average Joe.
  2. Make Money Using Facebook Step 8.jpg
    2
    Pick a publishing option. There are a few free ways to get your e-book published.
    • The most basic option is to save the book as a PDF file, and lock it with a password that you send to people who buy your book. Once the password is out there, anyone with the password can open the book.
    • Createspace is an Amazon.com service that allows you to publish e-books for free on the Amazon website. It offers better usage protection than the PDF method, but can't be directly distributed from anywhere other than Amazon's website. Createspace also has a number of paid services and options available. To maximize your Facebook profit, avoid using them.
    • ReaderWorks is a program that easily formats and published e-books in Microsoft Reader format, one of the most common e-book formats on the web. The Basic version of the program doesn't offer any security, but it's free and easy to learn. There's a paid version of ReaderWorks that adds digital rights management (DRM) protection. Only opt in for the paid version if you're going to be making a lot of books with it.
  3. Buy a Washer and Dryer Step 5.jpg
    3
    Get your e-book online. Createspace will post your book automatically. If you published it on your own computer, you can sell it a few different ways:
    • Amazon will let you upload and sell your e-book as a Kindle book for free. (Kindle is the brand name of Amazon's popular e-reader product line.) This option is calledKindle Direct Publishing, or KDP.
      • On the plus side, KDP is fast and very flexible. You can publish your book in about 5 minutes, and set sale royalties for yourself as high as 70% (with Amazon taking the other 30%).
      • On the other hand, KDP does not publish your book for download outside of the Kindle marketplace. Readers who don't use Kindle won't be able to browse and purchase your book.
    • eBay will let you list items for sale at a set price. By offering a stock of “copies” of your e-book available for purchase on eBay, you can turn the venerable auction site into a de facto bookselling hub.
      • The advantage of eBay is its simplicity. Anyone with access to the site can potentially purchase a copy of your book – no special gadgets or software required.
      • The downside is the cost. eBay sets fees for just about everything; they only get worse when you set a fixed price point for purchases. Some of the fees are percentages, but others are flat, which can really bite into your profit margin if you're not careful.
  4. Make Money Using Facebook Step 10.jpg
    4
    Sell your e-book on Facebook. If you were wise and wrote a book that caters to the audience you've been building up with your primary account, you've got a receptive, ready-made audience for your sales pitch.
    • Advertise it several times a day, both blatantly and at the end of other posts. Be creative and try to engage your readers. Get them excited about reading your book.
    • If you have other accounts (such as affiliate accounts), advertise your book there, too.
    • Always provide a link for readers to click to visit the page where they can purchase your book.

iPhone or Android: Which Smartphone Should You Buy?

13 factors to consider before you buy 

When you're looking for a new smartphone, choosing an iPhone or Android phone isn't a simple task. While both phones offer a lot of great features, they may seem so similar that it's hard to distinguish between them. If you look closely, though, you'll find that there are some key differences. Thirteen of those differences are examined here to help you decide whether an iPhone or Android phone is right for you.

1. Hardware: Choice vs. Polish

Hardware is the first place that the differences between the iPhone and Android become clear. Apple is the only company that makes iPhones, giving it extremely tight control over how the software and hardware work together. On the other hand, Google offers its Android software to many phone makers (Samsung, HTC, LG, and Motorola, among others, offer Android phones). As a result, Android phones vary quite a bit in size, weight, features, user experience, and quality.
It’s not uncommon to hear that some Android phones overheat or freeze up or that some models are simply low quality. While iPhones have also had hardware issues (especially the iPhone 4 antenna problems), inconsistency of quality generally isn’t an issue for the iPhone.
Apple offers users a single choice: what model of iPhone do you want (5, 4S or 4), not what company’s phone and then what model. Of course, some people may prefer the greater choice Android offers. Others, though, will appreciate the simplicity and quality offered by the iPhone.
Winner: Tie

2. OS Compatibility: A Waiting Game

If you want to make sure you always have the latest and greatest features that your chosen smartphone operating system offers, you have no choice but to buy an iPhone. That's because Android makers are very slow about updating their phones to Google's latest Android OS releases--and sometimes don't update their phones at all.
While it's to be expected that eventually older phones will no longer have support for the latest OS, Apple's support for older phones is generally better than Android's. Take for instance, iOS 6, its latest OS. It includes full support for the iPhone 4, a more than two-year-old phone as of this writing. Because of that, the latest version of the iOS, 6.1.2, became the most-used version just a week after its release.
On the other hand, Android 4.0, codenamed Ice Cream Sandwich, isrunning on just 2.9% of Android devices 6 months after its release. This is partly because the makers of the phones control when the OS is released for their phones and, as that linked article shows, some makers have been slow to release it to their users.
So, if you want the latest and greatest as soon as it's ready, you need an iPhone.
Winner: iPhone

3. Apps: Selection vs. Control

While the iPhone App Store offers about the same number of apps asGoogle Play--around 9000,000 (as of June 2013)--overall selection isn’t the only factor. Apple is famously strict (some might say unpredictable) about what apps it allows and how it changes its policies, while Google’s standards for Android are somewhat more lax.
Many developers have complained about the emphasis on free apps for Android and the difficulty of developing for so many different phones. This fragmentation--the large numbers of devices and OS versions to support--makes developing for Android expensive (for instance, the developers of Temple Run reported that early in their Android experience nearly all of their support emails had to do with unsupported devices--but they support over 700 Android phones!). Combine these development costs with an emphasis on free that reduces the likelihood that developers can cover their costs and not all of the best apps make it to Android, and those that do don’t necessarily run on all phones.
Winner: Apple, but not by much

4. Gaming: A Growing Giant

Just a couple of years ago, video gaming--and especially mobile video gaming--was dominated by Nintendo’s DS and Sony’s PSP. The iPhone has changed that. The iPhone (and iPod touch) has rapidly become a major player in the mobile video game market, with tens of thousands of great games. The growth of the iPhone as a gaming platform, in fact, has led some observers to forecast that Apple is well on its way to eclipsing Nintendo and Sony as the leading mobile game platform.
Beyond that, the general expectation that Android apps should be free (noted above) has led game developers interested in making money (i.e., almost all of them, and certainly all the major ones) to develop for iPhone first and Android second. In fact, due to various problems with developing for Android, some game companies have stopped creating games for it all together.
While Android has its fair share of hit games, the iPhone has the clear advantage here.
Winner: iPhone

5. GPS Navigation: Free Wins--For Everyone

As long as you've got access to the Internet and a smartphone, you never have get lost again thanks to the built-in GPS and maps apps on both the iPhone and Android. Both platforms sport GPS apps that can give drivers turn-by-turn directions and, with the arrival of iOS 6, both platforms now have free, built-in, turn-by-turn directions.
Both Android and iPhone users can use Google Maps Navigation to get free turn-by-turn directions to virtually anywhere. It's good that this app is available for both platforms because, while iPhone users running iOS 6 can use the new, built-in Maps app to get directions to their destination, Google Maps is generally thought to be superior.
Winner: Tie

6. Flash: A Difficult Choice

The iPhone famously doesn’t run Flash--and never will--and makers of Android tablets trumpet that their devices do. If tablets using Android can run Flash, will Android phones be able to do the same?
The answer is sort of--and only older models. That's because Adobe, the makers of Flash, have ceased development of Flash for Android. While older Android devices can use Flash, Adobe has said it will no longer support Flash on Android 4.1 and higher, and that it will no longer be available for download through Google Play after August 2012. So, Android users who want Flash will have to decide: do they want to stay on an older operating system or have Flash?
After reports that the experience of running Flash on Android was never very good--many reviewers have pointed out that Flash doesn’t work terrifically well on Android tablets and that it drains batteries quickly--Adobe's decision seems to validate Apple's original point: Flash is bad for batteries and device stability.
While its lack of Flash prevents the iPhone from viewing some web content, many sites have alternate versions that work with the iPhone. So, iPhone users do miss some of the web, but less and less all the time. And, they may miss the parts of the web, but with HTML 5 set to displace Flash and Flash's own maker admitting it can't make a version that works well on Android, you'd have to conclude Apple wins this one.
Winner: iPhone

7. Battery Life: Consistent Improvement

iPhone battery
Because of the greater variety of hardware used in Android phones, Android’s battery life is more varied. While early iPhone models had batteries that required a charge nearly every day, that’s no longer true. With recent models, it’s easy to go days at a time without needing a charge (though that will be tested with the iPhone 5).
The story is much more complex with Android, thanks to the large variety of models that run it. Some Android models now have 4-inch screen or 4G LTE networking, both of which burn through much more battery life. To get a sense of what that means, some 4G LTE Android phones are being touted as successes because they can work 8 hours straight without a charge. That means they don't last an entire day, just a work day. I'm sure the faster networking is great, but that's too much of a trade-off for me. Add that to the battery-intensive apps Android phones run (including some in the background that the user doesn’t necessarily know are there), a charge every day (or less) isn’t unheard of.
That said, there are some Android phones that offer ultra-high capacity batteries. If you don't mind the extra bulk, they'll work much longer than iPhones on a single charge.
Winner: Tie

8. Screen Size: How Big Is Too Big?

If you're looking for the biggest screens available on smartphones, Android is your clear choice. It's not uncommon to find Android phones with 4.3-inch screens, and the HTC One X offers a 4.7-inch screen, while the Samsung Galaxy Note stretches the ruler at 5.3 inches. So, for sheer size, Android it is.
The question, of course, is whether a screen that big on a phone is actually a good idea. After all, phones go in our pockets or purses, they're held in our hands and to our faces, where huge devices may not necessarily be a benefit. And as we've seen already, large screens consume more battery power.
While Apple long held to the 3.5-inch screen size, the iPhone 5 brings a 4-inch screen. However, instead of making the entire device proportionally bigger, and therefore a less comfortable fit in the hand, Apple made the screen taller, but not wider. This allows the phone to still be easily used with one hand. Besides that, the Retina Displaytechnology gives the iPhone's screen much higher pixel density (how many pixels can fight in the same physical space; the more pixels the better the image) than many Android screens. Still, if it's raw size you're after, Android's the choice, but not by much.
Winner: Android

9. Networking: Tied in 4G

AT&T 4G LTEimage copyright AT&T
For the fastest wireless Internet experience, you have to go to Android. That's because--for now--only Android devices support true 4G LTE networking, the wireless data standard that is succeeding, and outspeeding, 3G.
Not all Android devices have 4G LTE, and not all areas of the U.S. have 4G LTE available yet, but if you've got a compatible device, have an available network, and are on a carrier with 4G LTE, some Android phones can offer blazing-fast speeds.
While Android used to hold the lead here, the category is now a tie thanks to the release of the iPhone 5. With true 4G LTE networking, the iPhone 5 is on par with Android for the fastest cellular data speeds.

10. Carriers: Tied at 4

images copyright A&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon
If you like to have a lot of choices, both Android and iPhone offer the same basic options. Just like there are many Android phones from many companies, you can also get Android phones that work on any of the U.S.’s four major phone carriers: AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile.
For years, the iPhone lagged behind Android's carrier selection for various reasons. When T-Mobile began offering the iPhone in the spring of 2013, though, that difference was erased. Now you can get both an iPhone or Android device from all four major carriers in the U.S.
Winner: Tie

cure pimples naturally



edited by raman source: wiki  
Acne medications are one way to prevent breakouts, but they come with other side effects including dry skin, discoloration, and irritation/sensitivity at the problem area. Besides the numerous side effects chemical treatments have on your skin, they are expensive. Stick with mother nature and save some money at the same time by trying home remedies using natural ingredients to get rid of your acne.

Method 1 of 3: Trying Natural Masks

  1. Get Rid of Acne Naturally Step 01.jpg
    1
    Make a honey mask. We ought to thank the bees for the sweet elixir they’ve given us that not only adds flavor to our favorite foods, but also works wonders on reducing acne. Honey is a natural antibiotic, and its sticky consistency works to pull up dirt and grime. Mix two tablespoons of honey with a teaspoon of cinnamon, and apply it over your face. Allow it to set for 5-10 minutes,and then rinse it off with warm water.
  2. Get Rid of Acne Naturally Step 02.jpg
    2
    Use Toothpaste.Apply some toothpaste directly on top of the acne and keep it overnight,as a mask or for an hour. Wash it with water and a soft cloth. This will make the acne less visible.
    • Use steam to open your pores before using the mask to help the honey and cinnamon work its way down into your pores.
    • To help clean out bacteria, press your fingers into the honey and pull up quickly. This will work to clear out especially dirty pores, such as open blackheads.
  3. Get Rid of Acne Naturally Step 03.jpg
    3
    Use an overnight fenugreek mask. The leaves from the fenugreek plant have long been used to help with skin issues of the face. Crush up several of these leaves to form a thick paste, and then apply it onto your acne-prone areas. Leave this on overnight, and then rinse it off with warm water in the morning. It should help to reduce the redness and swelling, as well as the further spread of bacteria.
  4. Get Rid of Acne Quickly Step 14.jpg
    4
    Use garlic. Garlic may have a strong scent and taste, but it also has antiseptic properties that kill the bacteria trapped in your pores. Try cutting a clove of garlic in half, and rubbing the juice on your acne. Alternately, you can mince garlic into a paste and apply it directly to your pimples. Allow the paste to set for 15-20 minutes before rinsing off with warm water.
  5. Get Rid of Acne Naturally Step 05.jpg
    5
    Try using fresh papaya juice. Papayas are full of antioxidants and vitamin A, which help to smooth and soften your skin while reducing inflammation. Grab a fresh papaya and mash it to create a pulpy juice. Spread this onto your skin and allow it to dry before rinsing off with cool water.
  6. Get Rid of Acne Naturally Step 06.jpg
    6
    Try a nutmeg scrub. Nutmeg is a gentle exfoliant that will help to slough off the dead skin that builds up on your face, causing acne. Mix a teaspoon of nutmeg with 1-2 tablespoons of regular milk. Rub the scrub onto your face for a minute, and then rinse off with warm water.

Method 2 of 3: Using Leave-on Treatments

  1. Remove Corns from Your Toes Step 13.jpg
    1
    Coat your face in white vinegar. There are many types of vinegar, each with multiple health benefits. One of the great uses of distilled white vinegar is to help reduce high levels of acne. Use a cotton pad soaked in the vinegar to apply it to your face; if it is too strong on its own, mix it with just a little water. Allow the vinegar to set on your face for 10 minutes, and then rinse it off with cold water.[1]
  2. Get Rid of Acne Naturally Step 08.jpg
    2
    Dab on some lemon juice. The acidic properties work twofold, to lighten the redness caused by your zits and to dry out your acne faster. Use a cotton ball to dab pure lemon juice onto your acne directly before you head to bed at night. The juice may sting a bit if your pimples are open, but the lemon juice should help get rid of your acne faster.
  3. Get Rid of Acne Naturally Step 09.jpg
    3
    Make a baking soda spot treatment. Baking soda, as a fine powder, works to exfoliate your skin as well as clean out dirt and reduce redness. Mix baking soda with a bit of water to form a thick paste. Dab this paste onto your acne, and allow to to set until dry and powdery to the touch again. Rinse the powder off with warm water, and repeat the process daily.
  4. Get Rid of Acne Naturally Step 10.jpg
    4
    Use peppermint leaves. Peppermint, besides smelling and tasting heavenly, is chock full of menthol which helps to soothe your irritated skin and reduce redness. Make a paste of peppermint leaves by crushing a bunch up, and then apply it directly to your acne. Let the peppermint mask dry for 10 minutes and then rinse it off with cool water.
  5. Get Rid of Acne Naturally Step 11.jpg
    5
    Wash your face with cucumber juice. Cucumber works as a great anti-inflammatory, reducing the swelling and redness of pimples on your face. Blend up some cucumbers, or soak a chopped cucumber in water to create a cucumber juice. When you wash you face at night, rinse with this instead of regular water and pat dry.
  6. Get Rid of Acne Naturally Step 12.jpg
    6
    Use tea tree oil. Tea tree oil is an anti-bacterial and anti-fungal medicine used for a wide variety of medical applications. One study looked at the effectiveness of tea tree oil against benzoyl peroxide, a common acne chemical, and found that tea tree oil was just as effective fighting pimples as benzoyl peroxide.[2]
    • Apply to the skin in small amounts. Get equal parts of tea tree oil extract and water, combine them, and use a Q-Tip to dab pimples with the mixture. Use in small quantities.
    • Stay away from tea tree oil if you have very sensitive skin or you have eczema in addition to acne.
  7. Get Rid of Acne Naturally Step 13.jpg
    7
    Aloe Vera: This is great because if you have an acne scar, it will heal it and prevent drying, peeling, and pimples without making skin dry or oily. Use like regular moisturizer once a day, after you wash your face in the morning.
  1. Lose 3 Pounds a Week Step 06.jpg
    1
    Eat healthily. Although a rather broad statement, eating healthy foods will support your skin with the nutrients it needs to fight acne. Make a decision to include more fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet on a daily basis. Doing so will clear up your skin over a period of several weeks, in addition to increasing your all-around health.
  2. Beat Depression Step 03.jpg
    2
    Get in a bit of exercise. Stress is a major cause of breakouts, but you can fight your stress and acne at the same time by working out. Sweating will clear your pores while the exercise increase endorphin production, putting you in a better mood. Try to get in at least thirty minutes of physical activity per day for the best results.
  3. Get Rid of Acne Quickly Step 09.jpg
    3
    Wash your face twice a day. Washing your face is a balance; too little, and oil will build up and clog your pores. Too much washing, and your face will be stripped of natural moisture, dry, peel, and (you guessed it) clog your pores. To get just the right amount of washing in, scrub your face down twice a day. Go for when you wake up in the morning and before you head to bed at night for the best results .
  4. Prevent Anxiety Step 11.jpg
    4
    Get control of your stress levels. Stressing much? Your high anxiety levels could be the cause of your poor skin. Stress creates sebum, the oil that builds up and causes your unsightly pimples. To get your sebum levels under control, take steps to de-stress on a daily basis. Spend some time away from your work, school, or high maintenance people and you’ll be praising your clear skin in no time.[3]
  5. Get a Life Step 11.jpg
    5
    Get enough sleep. Sleep is your body’s way of clearing out toxins and hormonal buildup in your body. If you don’t get enough sleep, these bad chemicals will increase and cause your skin to break out. Aim for getting between 7-8 hours of sleep a night (even on the weekends!) to help your body with its nightly cleanse.
  6. Get Rid of Acne Naturally Step 19.jpg
    6
    Cut dairy out of your diet. The cow’s milk used to make dairy products is full of growth hormones for calves to use to help develop. The hormones don’t get filtered out though, meaning that you may be getting too many just by consuming dairy. Although cutting cheese and milk out of your diet may be difficult, your skin will reap the benefits.

    Drink plenty of water. The same way that sleep cleans out hormonal buildup in your body, water is used to clean out toxins in your body as well. Make sure that you drink around eight full glasses of water a day, even if it does mean extra trips to the bathroom.[4]

    Use a natural toner. Toners are a liquid used to tighten and close pores after washing your face and prior to moisturizing. Take a step to use a natural toner on a daily basis after every wash. Use apple cider vinegar or witch hazel, and apply it with a cotton ball to your entire face. Because your pores will be tightened, it will be harder for bacteria to enter and cause breakouts.

    Avoid touching your face whenever possible. Hands are the dirtiest part of our bodies, as they come into contact with so many things on a regular basis. Because they are coated in bacteria, even just brushing your face or scratching an itch on your cheek can transfer unwanted germs. Keep your hands from your face whenever possible, and your skin will improve.

    Don’t pop your zits. Although those whiteheads can be so tempting to pop, squeezing your pimples opens them up to more bacteria and increases the chances of scarring. When you have a zit that has come to head, apply a spot treatment and leave it be. Popping a zit counts as touching your face, something else you’re trying to avoid as well.
