Following on from what I wrote yesterday about Facebook ads, I came across a couple of videos about making money from Facebook Applications.
The idea here is to create an app where either your users’ participation is rewarded by a free offer (and your users sign up with a CPA offer) or your app requires ‘points’ to take advantage of extra features (and your users complete CPA offers for points).
It occurs to me that this kind of application would be ideal if combined with current hot trends on the net.
Simply create a generic Facebook app (a voting app, for example) and add a new survey to it whenever you see an appropriate ‘hot trend’ on Google. You’ll be tapping into your audience’s current fascination with the latest celebrity topic instantly. And the very nature of Facebook means your app has a strong chance of going viral. All for free.

Unless an exceptional facebook application is created, don’t you feel that the market is now quite saturated?
Many people seem to be bombarded with facebook apps nowadays..

Absolutely. I can’t stand them all, personally.
But there’s a lot of people who love them, and there’s a lot of things I’d do for money.
I agree it’d have to be a pretty impressive app though to get popular.
