How to make money with facebook!
Well, its a new year, happy 2008 everybody!I have been slack on the old blogging for the last week, but I blame it on an overindulgence of mince pies, mulled wine and assorted cold turkey sandwiches.
Now that the whole holiday season is regrettably past us, it would be time to focus on the year ahead and try and replicate the successes of last year, and improve upon them. The first thing that I am looking at this year, is extending my facebook businesses further.
So far I have created/launched/sold 7 apps, and so far I have made around $5,000 in the last three months with facebook - not through selling advertising, but by selling the apps themselves.
Whats the secret? Well, there isnt one really, its just you need to realign your expectations and ambitions when you move from traditional web based marketing to facebook marketing. Fb isnt a platform where you should be happy with 500 u/v per day, you should be totally distraught if you have that level of users. With the way the facebook platform is underdeveloped as far as available apps is concerned, you should be concentrating on having 20,000 per day or higher - it really isnt that hard!
Not everyone can program a facebook app though, it is a new and therefore relatively uncommon skill set, that is why I am writing this blog post, because I have a way round it! Here is the 3 step plan to marketing success with facebook:
1) Buy a turnkey facebook app from Turnkey Facebook Apps
Cost: $29.95 to $59.95
2) Launch the app and buy installs, these can be bought for as little as $0.05 per person. I suggest investing a few hundred dollars in this bit:
Cost $200 to $300
3) Wait a week for the viral marketing to run its course, by now you should have no less than 20,000 users installed, and your app is worth around $1,500 to $2,000.
Thats a NET PROFIT of NEARLY $1500 PER WEEK, PER APPLICATION.
It really is that simple, but what are the drawbacks?
Well, at the moment it is possible, but this system will no doubt only work for a few months, maybe 3 maybe 4 but this new goldrush will undoubtadly close up or be swamped by apps, so for the time being get in, and get in big!
Dont say I never told you!
