I believe Facebook has at least 6 business models in operation today, including:
* ads in margin
* special paid for groups
* sponsored likes
(these are discussed in Kirkpatricks book of Facebook - and here: http://www.quora.com/Facebook-1/What-is-the-revenue-distribution-of-Facebook?q=facebook+revenue http://www.quora.com/Facebook-1/What-is-the-revenue-distribu...)
Additionally, Facebook has just launched Facebook Credits. Zynga (revenues $600M+) is their launch partner. Facebook gets 30% of their spend.
I do not think they are struggling to monetize.
- jacquesm 16y agoI always figured they'd go and do a payment system because in facebook the 'graph' of your friends validates you to the point that doing business with someone becomes a lot less risky than on paypal, but for some reason they seem to be holding back on that. Maybe the zynga deal is a prelude to that. It would make good sense to do that, facebook is the closest we've got to a verified ID on the net. The issues to contend with would then of course be hacked accounts and such but that's not different from other payment systems.
