How to Make Money from Facebook Apps?

Saturday, September 5th, 2009

doyouThe app industry has really exploded over the past couple of years, and is making big money. In the past if you wanted to get in on the lucrative app business you would have needed to be well versed in the relevant programming language to be able to write the code for your application, but now anyone can get in on it as an entrepreneur and make good money from it without needing to have any kind of technical knowledge or skills whatsoever.

There are two major platforms which really dominate this market – Facebook and the iPhone, both of which have a truly enourmous market for new applications. Since I have already written a hub about how to make iphone apps and make money from them, I thought it was about time I wrote another hubpage focussing on facebook instead.

There are two routes which anyone can take to make money from facebook apps which I know of, so take a look at both and then decide which route suits you best - have a go at both!

Introducing Facebook Connect for Mobile Web

Saturday, September 5th, 2009

Over the last three years, there has been unprecedented innovation in the mobile industry, made evident by a surge of new devices and applications. As engagement with this technology grows, developers are empowered with the opportunity to create compelling experiences that transcend platforms and enable users to engage with applications wherever they are. Last March, we announced Facebook Connect for iPhone, to make it possible for iPhone developers to integrate the power of Facebook with their apps. Today, we are bringing the power of Facebook Connect to every mobile developer with Facebook Connect for Mobile Web.

Facebook Connect for Mobile Web makes mobile sites or applications on any platform more social, and will provide developers with social distribution. Users can now publish Feed stories from their phones to Facebook, and those actions will be instantly distributed to their friends through News Feed. Facebook Connect for Mobile Web has the same rich features you find on Facebook Connect websites and iPhone apps, including:

  • Making API calls so your application can access user data and integrate users’ identities
  • Publishing directly to the Facebook Stream
  • Prompting users for additional permissions

For example, using just a few lines of code, Qik integrated Facebook Connect for Mobile Web with their Symbian client for Nokia smartphones, making it easy for users to connect to Qik and share with their friends from their phones.

We’ll continue to work with the industry to ensure that mobile developers have access to our powerful set of tools and APIs, with which they can enable users to access Facebook wherever they are.
