Facebook is a Great Money Making Opportunity

Amy Wood
Facebook is a great money making opportunity, since (it seems) almost everyone between 18-27 years is a Facebook user these days. Is not only possible to make money on Facebook, it's easy. If you know how.

Make money as the owner of a very popular Facebook group. You'll have to heavily promote your group and get as many people to join you. You can generate revenue with click per view ads.

Create a Facebook blog. All things Facebook are increasingly popular around the web. It's still an area with room for growth. Get creative and provide readers with daily content to all things Facebook. Place relevant ads on your blog and get some revenue. One step further, create a Facebook e-book and sell it online.

But the most money to be make off Facebook is to become a developer. On May 24, 2007, Facebook launched the Facebook Platform, which provides a framework for developers to create applications that interact with core Facebook features.

Make money by building a new, inventive Facebook application. Facebook actually makes it easy for beginner developers. Facebook provides you with tools and resources to learn more about building a Facebook application, such as:

You can customize your application settings, request API keys, and you can manage all your developed application from inside Facebook.

Discuss and collaborate on applications with other Facebook developers.

To simplify your development, you'll find client libraries, sample code, and sample applications all in one place.

How to make money with Facebook applications?

You can build applications containing ads that will bring revenue. The more popular your application, the more people will see your ads. For example: popular Facebook applications like Graffiti and iLike have users in the millions.

So, once you've build a Facebook application, do

not put ads on it. Give it away for free and make it very user friendly. Promote your application. Only when you have users in the thousands, should you experiment with advertising. However, once your application is really popular, you'll be able to place higher paying ads on your pages than Adsense.

Great Facebook applications are still in high demand on Facebook and the opportunity to tap into high earning potential is still there. Making money off Facebook by developing applications will require time and commitment, but the payout can be well worth it.

    If you're looking to make money as a facebook user, you could try this app: http://apps.facebook.com/referquest/ -- it's new, but I think that it's the only one out there like it, for the moment, anyway. Pretty soon, though, I'm sure that there will be more apps available for users looking to monetize the system. There's a lot of money to be made online, especially for businesses who successfully infiltrate social networks... so, we just have to wait until more companies setup programs like the one I mentioned.
