is there much money to be made from Facebook apps? if so, how?

Spudman · 03-17-2008, 02:58 PM

my friend made £70,000 GBP from these apps in 6 months, the only one i know he made was one where if displays your footballs teams badge on your page, i think he sold that one to an american for a few Grand.

crazy money for what seems to be silly apps but i've never really spoken in detail with him about it all, although last time we spoke he said that the money train has passed now and its getting much harder to make any £££

You really need to develop an app where it will virally be installed. Its the only chance you really have of making descent coin so you need to develop something that people really want and would want their friends to have too. Its definitely not easy but the potential is definitely there.

You have quite a few options including being able to contact the user (if the user allows it), ads from within the app, putting links, trading links with other apps (just like recip links), etc. etc.

The best way is to probably install a few apps yourself and take a look at where facebook ends and where developers are building and generating revenue.

I have seen a babe of the day type app before on FB, no nudity allowed though, not even nipples.
