I wonder why such simple and boring applications like those in my Facebook (or maybe yours too) draw much attention from users.

I got at least two invitations a day inviting me to play Facebook applications. So I tried to see it in a different way: some applications like Farmville, Poker (now those ones aren’t as goofy as the others), Cafe Remodel and Pet Society require you to use real money to play better, even though you can always play without buying any extra tokens, chips, or coins. But you sure will play better if you buy. Is it another online money making ideas? Yap for sure! A lot of it!

Here are some hints to get you started. In order to create a Facebook application, you should know or need the following:

• You should be well versed in PHP or some other programming language, such as Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, or Python, especially one that has a client library for Facebook API.
• You need to have a basic understanding of the Internet, SSH, MySQL, and Unix
• You need to be familiar with Web hosting fundamentals and have a place to host your application.

Some outline in http://wiki.developers.Facebook.com/index.php/Creating_Your_First_Application and http://www.virtualmarketingblog.com/how-to-make-Facebook-applications/ should give you good enough idea to get you going. They sure are a long list to do. But looking at how much interest Facebook applications are getting from the crowds, I’m sure they will all pay off.

Here are 4 more advantages you’ll get by making applications for Facebook:

1. A January 2009 Compete.com study has ranked Facebook as the most used social network by worldwide monthly active users, followed by MySpace. According to comScore, Facebook is the leading social networking site based on monthly unique visitors, having overtaken main competitor MySpace in April 2008. ComScore reports that Facebook attracted 132.1 million unique visitors in June 2008, compared to MySpace, which attracted 117.6 million. More than 63 million active users, An average of 250,000 new registrations per day since January 2007, An average of 3% weekly growth since January 2007 and Active users doubling every 6 months. You’ll sure get the crowds.
2. The Facebook iPhone website was launched August 2007 and as of July 2008 over 1.5 million people use it regularly. You can also make applications for iPhone and get paid! [read the article from us].
3. Many large companies are paying top dollar to developers who know how to build Facebook applications. Just do a search on any of the major job search sites for ‘Facebook developer’ and you’ll see just how large the demand for developers is.
4. Even the stupid goofy applications can earn a lot of cash!

Of course, you need to also consider some things below:

1. You’ll compete with many application creators like you. Make sure you have something “more” in your application to attract users (though the stupidest application on earth still sells in Facebook, but we’re sure you want to earn more)
2. It takes time. Creating Facebook application is not an easy money job, but you’ll earn way more than any other easy online money making ideas.

Just by seeing how much Facebook has taken over the society, we’re sure you’ll be a “big fish” in the business. Try it and figure it out. Good Luck!

Now you know Facebook can be used to sell your products or your second hand (but still in a good quality) things. It is called Facebook Marketplace. You can sell things with no charge at all and the advantage of being a seller in Facebook is you can make your advertisement appear on targeted Facebooker. What does that mean? First you can choose which group of people who you think will be attract more to your products. The second thing is you can choose whether you want your items to be visible to the user group or not.

Even after you choose a specific crowd and you have targeted your customers on Facebook, other Facebookers (your friends) can see your advertisement in your profile. So, you are getting a lot of eyes on your products. Free, quick, and guaranteed to be seen for all users. Remember, you have to choose the right location. Or if you want to provide selling to other countries, it’s up to you! Make sure you have read the Terms and Condition carefully.

Not only sell your own things, you can sell your affiliate links. Affiliate websites are some website that are using you and other user to promote their links and you will get an advantage from them based on what system you prefer (Pay per click or Pay per sale). Affiliate websites usually have products to sell, like website or hosting, so they want you to promote their links. If you don’t know any affiliate websites, try Paydotcom or Clickbank. Those affiliate links also can be sold in your Wall, Group, Page, and anywhere on Facebook area! Facebook is way more convenient because others won’t give you many facilities to promote.

Maybe you don’t have things to buy and you don’t interested in selling affiliate links. Start to buy other products on commission to you. It means that you want to leverage the market place. How? Use the Radical Buy application on Facebook. This application allows you to sell and buy personal things and the unusual is it lets you to promote other user’s item and you will get commission!

Probably people would think Facebook is not as good as the famous eBay, but who knows? Facebook is getting really famous right now. Not everyone have an eBay account. And you can socialize better on Facebook, of course you will get more attention with Facebook Marketplace. The advertising is more functional than eBay, it is free, it has more options to get money, and you can target your customers! Don’t expect to get money fast, though, it all still depends on the products you sell to the Facebooker. If you sell quality products that would interest many of the Facebooker, you are about to get big bucks in your saving! Let’s follow this online making money ideas and make money with Facebook!

The world is conquered by this website which is pretty familiar in our ears. Facebook. It amazes me to see all generations are signing up to be a ‘facebooker’, that’s how I call them. Ow, and myself of course. I am actually a facebooker too, yes.. of course I have Facebook (psstt.. add me!). Everyone who is trendy have Facebook account. Parents have Facebook account, children also have Facebook account, teachers have Facebook account, all the teenagers MUST have Facebook account or their reputation will be harmed or whatever, and people I admire so much… the smart people who is getting money with their Facebook. Really??? Maybe it is only known by several people from millions of people who are listed as a Facebook users. Yes, beside connecting people and reunite separated people, Facebook also helping people to gain money.

How?

With Facebook Social Ads. What is that? Social ads are advertisement you’ve seen on Facebook, but different from the other ad banners, Facebook Social ads are way more affordable and get noticed by more people like appearing in News Feed or Friend’s Activity. Of course this Social Ads only gain money for people who have their own business they want to promote. See, the advantage of creating Facebook is it gives us the latest news and update from our friends. The disadvantage of creating Facebook is it gives us what we often don’t want to know about people who we don’t even know. Yes, a little bit annoying, but it comes with socialize and networking with people.

So, how Social Ads works? First, you won’t get money super fast and easy like everyone wants. You may have a chance of losing money, too. So be really careful and read the instructions if you are interested to make money on Facebook. This Social Ads advertise with a two systems. CPC (Cost Per Click) and CPM (Cost Per Mille). With CPC, you have to pay when someone interested and clicked to your ad. CPM is charging you for impressions (the number of times your ad shows up).

The things that you have to know about Social Ads are:

1. There are several advertisements that are prohibited from Facebook. Like cigarettes, ringtones, software, downloads, alcohol, etc. You need read the Facebook Advertising Guidelines carefully before you post an ad
2. Don’t expect to get huge number per day. You won’t because there are a lot of competitions on Facebook. And you have to design your Ad to get more revenue and profit!

How to make a Social Ad? First, you purchase account credit that will go towards the clicks. The good thing is your advertisement will keep running until you get all the clicks and your credit runs out. The categories that very popular and will work really well are: ONLINE DATING SITES, HEALTH AND DIET, and MONEY SAVING. From these categories, you will get profit instead of losing money. The great thing is you don’t really have to own the sites you promote. Grab something from Clickbank or Paydotcom Marketplace, create your nice ad and you are set!

And after posting your Social Ad (easy steps from Facebook), you have to set your Bids, Budget, and Determining. Facebook will keep you up to date with the ad statistic with Facebook Insights.
