money from Facebook apps?
 

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

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 £££

What apps ? Spamm apps?

There was just some video conference I was watching the other day about it. Try searching google, can prly find it

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.

Theres a couple of good articles and vids on here.

This is run by the folks over at millnic media.

if the app is virally successful how though do you make money from it? what are app owners allowed to do?

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.

thanks for the info. even very softcore nudes aren't allowed on FB?

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