I have to agree with you. There are lots of internet marketers who uses facebook application and has become successful in making money through it. I really believe in the power of social networking to online businesses. Its easy if you only knew how to use it the right way.
Facebook Applications to Make You Money
For those who are the owners of an online business, they should know that they need a website for marketing their products on the internet. For an online business to become a success, the main key is to target more and more traffic to the website. The targeted traffic will be able to increase sales and also increase the business popularity.
Marketing on internet is not an easy thing to do. The owner needs to work hard in order to make effective attraction and traffic in your website.
However, if you have a business website and wants something easier to market your business website, the best way is to work in Facebook with an application that attracts peoples to your website. Facebook is the biggest social networking website having over 62 million active users from all over the world.
Facebook provides you with a lot of tools that you can use in order to market your products, services or business website effectively and efficiently. The number of people subscribing to Facebook each day, you will definitely will be able to generate a lot of targeted traffic to your website.
As Facebook is getting more and more traffic, there are a lot of ways to market your products or services. You can purchase mass banner ads or use flyers targeted to specific people.
After the release of the new platform of Facebook's that endeavor in social media presents a unique opportunity for marketers, developers and businesses to tap into the social network's young, active, and viral crowd.
Now the question comes in to your mind that how the developers of Facebook applications can actually make money?
The past few weeks have been a rising concern among developers to bring out some new ways to monetize their Facebook applications. The developers develop applications for the purpose of selling them to interested parties. The important thing to be noted is that applications can have business value without creating revenue. Facebook Applications can create value/revenue by driving traffic to an outside web property and much more.
These are the several ways that facebook applications can generate revenue:
* There are CPM revenue models for page views of facebook application canvas pages. These vary depending on who is serving the ads.
* Monetization of digital goods that users of an app will pay real money for.
* Cost per app install models (this specific model is short lived: possibly 18-24 months while the app marketplace matures)
* It is my belief that uniform payment collection systems will emerge on facebook: either from facebook or a 3rd party. This will lubricate the wheels of digital commerce.
* Subscription models from application use: Tiered services and payment for higher level of functionality.
