Right now you can share different types of content (text, video etc) on Facebook. And if your content is eligible or your Facebook Tools (Pages, Groups etc) is eligible as per Facebook Ads you can earn money from them.
Here are 4 different ways you can make money on Facebook.
In-Stream Ads: You can upload videos on Facebook and if your got necessary views, you can monetize those videos.
Fan Subscriptions: You can create a Facebook Page for your business and set up a subscription based model. This feature is available for mostly popular Facebook pages with large & active followers. This facility can be availed as per invitation only.
Collaborate With Brands: Facebook has created a platform called Brand Collabs Manager where you can connect with many brands related to your content. If both parties accept, then you can promote the brands through your content. And for that also you have to get valid approval from Facebook. Applicable for large Facebook Pages or Groups with active followers.
Subscription Groups: If you run a Facebook Group which is very active, large and offers value then you can ask for subscription model. For that you need to apply as per the eligibility rules and if you get the approval you can start accepting paid subscription & earn money from your Facebook Group.
Although it looks like there are various ways Facebook is offering monetization techniques, but the eligibility criteria is not that easy. For more details you can refer to this link (official Facebook Website).

Similarly, a Facebook group is the best place to connect with like minded people. E.g. I have created a list of Facebook Groups for Bloggers where many bloggers are connecting to get their problems resolved.
I also started a Facebook Group which has grown up to 17k+ members in just 1.5 year. If you want to create a Facebook Group and earn money from that then follow the steps below.
Step 1: Visit Facebook.com and click on the create option. Choose Group to create a Group.
Step 2: It will popup a window where you have to provide various details about that group like name, private or public etc.
Step 3: If you have a blog or business running online and you want to create a group to support those people then it will work best for you. Just start sharing your group URL with your visitors or subscribers so that they all can join and start engaging.
Step 4: If you work properly, Facebook Group can become a perfect place like a Forum where people can ask their problems and get solution. Provide helpful content, help regularly and grow with time. This way you can gain the trust of your audience.
So, when you can take your Group audience to a certain level, you can actually utilize that audience to do business a make money.
