How to make money off Facebook Apps?
Just wondering, what different revenue channels are possible with a Facebook application? Say: advertising (not sure if its allowed to embed it in), direct sales (the existing $1 gifts app for example), referrals/affiliates etc.?
- danielha 19y agoAdvertising is allowed.
- nickb 19y agoBy all accounts and info available out there, advertising on Facebook produces horrible revenue. Your best bet of making money with FB apps is by selling it to someone else :(.
- karzeem 19y agoSimply putting up some ads in your app is unlikely to do much for you. A few months ago, Valleywag reported on a group that found 0.04% clickthrough rates to be common for ads on Facebook. That's 400 clicks for every million impressions. Not good. Your best bet is finding some highly effective way to target your ads (maybe by letting a third-party company serve them), or use your FB app as a loss leader for something else.
