If you wanna make money online so you can develop an application on facebook. Once Application get popular so you can earn a lot from that application. I saw many companies are working for application development of social networks like facebook, myspace, linkedin and orkut.

Creating an application for social network is also a very good business

**twinscythe12332** · 18-May-09, 03:06 PM

and what languages are you supposed to use to be able to develop for it?

Dave, by linking to your the site when used properly. Most of them aren't at this stage and are being used as data accumulators for the designers.

Twinscythe - my son is doing this and he is a LAMP programmer - using Linux, something, My SQL and PHP.

I must admit I still don't get how this turns into making money online. Arnold, could you give an example of a Facebook app that is making its developer useful money?

**twinscythe12332** · 19-May-09, 12:26 PM

gifts. you can buy someone a personal gift for a dollar. they can attach it to their profile. poker. small amounts of advertising, I think you can also buy chips. loooooots of traffic.

OK - that makes sense, if people will buy. Obviously I don't spend enough time on Facebook.

I went hunting around Facebookster and they've got a page about monetization. It all looks reasonable (they insist on the numbers being conservative) until I get to the eCPM. They base their numbers on an advertising return of $150 eCPM, which is incredibly high.

I give you an example of a gaming application name Mob wars and Living Social. These are the highest earning applications of facebook so just think about the developers of that application how much they are earning. Living social is just a normal application but it is so popular and the developer of that application are earning alot.
