I knew it could be done, just really hadn’t had a stab at it yet. My inspiration came from an article today over at Mashable where Jawad Shuaib says, “my own source of income on Facebook is generated through Amazon’s affiliate marketing.” I thought, ok…let’s give this a go. Facebook doesn’t let you insert HTML or Javascript normally though the ‘Wall’ application or anywhere else really. We’ll have to go third party to find an app that’s going to let us do exactly this. Thanks to Chris Ridenour and Chris Lamping, we now have the HTML Box application (6,098 users) that essentially allows you to “display text, video, music, pictures and more with minimal HTML knowledge.” After adding this app, I then went to one of my affiliate marketing partners, added my facebook profile as a website and potential source of traffic within my affiliate profile, grabbed an advertiser’s code and pasted it in the HTML Box app. Done! I can now potentially earn some ad dollars from Facebook networking, promoting a service I believe in.

P.S. Your Facebook profile traffic will be greater the more groups and networks your involved with.
