There are all kinds of social media - from social networks such as Facebook and LinkedIn and 'micro-blogging' sites such as Twitter and Tumblr to photo-sharing sites Instagram and Flickr - and all offer direct access to a huge range of people, groups and companies.

LinkedIn is a good example of a business-based social network designed to help jobseekers find a new role, and other networks such as Facebook and Twitter can also link up employers and employees. However, there are plenty of other ways that you can make money without leaving your job.

Social media can be a great place to advertise your services and can help you sell anything from electronics and technology to language skills and photos.

Talented photographers can upload their images to photo-sharing site Flickr and be paid when they are used.Also, skilled videographers can sell their clips to YouTube and if they are successful and get lots of views, it could translate into a regular income stream.

Many brands regularly run giveaways on networks such as Twitter,  Facebook or Linkedin in order to increase their followers. Competitions could range from a $50 gift card to a year's worth of holidays, but you'll need a keen eye and time on your hands to make money.

Another way to make some cash is to show advertising on your Facebook or blog page. Typically, if you have a lot of connections on Facebook and are what a company might label 'an influencer', you can show advertising from big brands and you'll earn money from the number of clicks your advertising generates.

To do this, you'll need to sign up as an 'affiliate' to marketing programmes, which is easy to do on company websites.

There is another option for bloggers and frequent Facebook users. Rather than carry advertising for a brand, some social media users can write positive messages about a product and get paid by advertisers for an 'advertorial', which is not as obvious as a paid-for ad.
