How do memes make money?

                  Before starting to read this article, do one thing open your social media account ..wait....now what do you see...Yes! exactly there is an 85% chance that you would be given a warm welcome by a meme on your feed. Need of memes nowadays has reached at par with that of having lunch!.....Everyone of us nowadays find it difficult to live without memes (almost an addiction) as they come very close when the point of being relatable to our lives comes up.

So how do they earn?                

                             A very simple basic explanation would be that whenever you come across a meme you click on it, then you are navigated to another webpage where you find loads of other of these attractive things.
                             Next thing you do is that you keep on scrolling down in want for more (before you realise that how your minutes turned into hours)....now during this process of scrolling down you also come across several ads on which you might or might not necessarily click on. 
                             There are fixed rates for everything for example- the website owner earns 'X' amount of money for 'Y' no. of views and the same thing goes on for clicks.Yeah...it's just this much...simple isn't it?? (go start making memes 😜!)

Do meme pages on social media earn anything?

                            The answer would be NO if you're thinking to earn money directly via Facebook or Instagram. What I mean here is that no social media website has a policy to pay you directly based on your followers or likes which most of the people think they do. (I hope this clears your misconception fellas !). Still for those who had a similar thought in their minds....don't worry as gaining followers on social media by making memes is a very good idea to give a boost to any of your future businesses or startups.
                           However there are many indirect ways to earn from your meme pages like:

  • Doing sponsored posts for brands (you need quite a following for that :))
  • Becoming an affiliate and making commission (Amazon affiliate is a very good choice)
  • Creating/Selling your product
  • Providing paid services

**This portion below does not in any form act as a guarantee to earning from memes. Down below are just some tips which may increase your earnings based on your following**
  1. Blogging with AdSense for some extra cash.
  2. Apply for some sort of grant.(In 2011,Indiana University got a $1 million grant to study memes)
  3. Try to become as innovative and creative you can be. Believe this, there is nothing like original content...(irrespective of the source 😉)

Remember that it's quite a tough job to solely depend on what you earn online. So don't ever get trapped by this concept which looks quite attractive but in reality is not so.
