Time to earn with facebook

As (almost) everyone knows Facebook is a social utility that connects people with friends and others who work, study and live around them. People use Facebook to keep up with friends, upload an unlimited number of photos, share links and videos, and learn more about the people they meet.

That’s that! but now a new application (being introducted) is aiming all the facebook members to earn money by helping advertisers and merchants to sell their products to their friends. So now it’s time for facebook members to socialize more and more?

This facebook program is called Market Lodge. It revolves around the notion that consumers are more likely to buy merchandise or services recommended by someone they know and trust so there’s nothing like facebook or myspace.

“Market Lodge, made by a startup called bSocial Networks Inc., will pay Facebook members a 10 percent commission on all sales made on their recommendations.”

10% is a good commission money in my opinion! Good thing is that facebook members who decide to use Market Lodge can customize their own stores, selecting from more than 1,200 products sold by about 50 different merchants.

Referring to NewsVine;

The owner of White Swan, a Boulder, Colo.-based seller of recorded music, thinks paying Facebook members to drum up sales could be more effective than advertising, which can cost up to $15 for every $100 in sales.

“Right now when you do marketing, you are competing with so many voices that it’s easy to get lost,” said Parmita Pushman, White Swan’s owner.

If Market Lodge bears fruit, Pushman said she will face a new problem: figuring out how to persuade more Facebook members to recommend her products in their personal stores.
