Social Networks Part 3: How To Maximize Your Facebook Application’s Profit Potential

In the final part of our interview, Jason Bailey (AKA Chickenhole) and I discussed how to maximize your application’s profit potential by incorporating some tips during the development, marketing and monetization phases.

We talked about the criteria a successful FB App MUST incorporate to ensure that it takes on a life of its own through viral distribution.  We also talked about how you get started, especially if you don’t have any programming skills.

If you are already developing a Facebook Application, you will want to know about the free application hosting with programming functions. This is especially critical because successful Facebook applications could have 500,000 or more daily active users a day.

To access this massive 45-minute recording, you should add the $uperRewards application.

After you have added it, you can submit your application to join the $uperRewards Developers group.

The developers group will also contain tips on application design and game mechanics and ideas for incorporating the $uperRewards application into your application and increase your monetization.

Current Facebook Application owners who have added $uperRewards have reported up to a 20 times increase in profit since adding the application.

As we are manually reviewing each application, it may take up to 48 hours to approve your application.

A Guide To Monetizing Social Networks and MMPOGs

Social marketing can be used to not only market and promote your own products, but you can use it to effectively convert traffic (human visitors) into cash.

Following the post on the launch of Jason “Chickenhole” Bailey’s $uperRewards Facebook monetization service, I have been hearing that a lack of programming skills (PHP especially) seems to be the biggest stumbling block.

It’s actually the least of the issues you will face, because you can easily outsource the programming and API work to a developer in an Eastern European country or to India.

The biggest challenges you will face are:

  • Create something that is useful for your visitors AND profitable for yourself
  • How to stand out from the crowd

I’m finding that social network applications tend to fall into 2 categories:

  • Monetization isn’t planned into the application and tends to be loosely added on

Take a look at this Facebook application – Defense of the Ancients –

There are banners for the AceBucks monetization application at the top and the bottom of the page.

In these instances, it’s very much “interruptive” monetization – like having ads in a TV program.

If you have a Tivo, you can wipe them out.

Facebook Monetization Service $uper Rewards Officially Launches

A key indicator that a technology has reached maturity is when people are able to make full time incomes from it. In this case, Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook social network has grown beyond just college kids, to include a development architecture where independent programmers can develop applications which ride on the Facebook platform.

Even better, Facebook applications and their developers are banking big, to the tune of a couple of hundred thousand dollars, and possibly even a million dollars in a week.

Enter the latest entrant, Facebook application $uper Rewards, spearheaded by Jason “Chickenhole” Bailey.

While Jason is one of the owners of CPA network Millnic Media, he has mentioned that $uper Rewards is independent of Millnic Media and will work other networks and merchants to expand it’s business opportunity.

What is $uper Rewards?

$uper Rewards functions as a “Facebook Application monetization widget” that Facebook Application developers can insert in their applications.

It’s based on a PHP architecture and provides access to more than 300 offers from about 12 different affiliate/CPA networks.

The $uper Rewards platform includes features like geo-targeting functions to provide geographically appropriate offers to the application users.

As Jason describes the service: “$R is a tool for any points/rewards based application which allows developers to easily manage incentivzable offers from dozens of CPA networks. This is a DEAD SIMPLE cut and paste solution that does 95% of the work associated with monetizing such an app for you.

Among the key features of $uper Rewards:

  • Incentivizable Offers to cover EVERY COUNTRY on the planet
  • Over 30 Canada Specific offers
  • Over 25 UK specific offers

Some of the other features, include:

  • Geo Targeting management
  • Managing all of the creative
  • Maximizing revenue from each user, including customer support

Some of the Facebook Applications already incorporating $R include:

Some feedback from an early adopter: “$uperRewards rocks. We tried the main CPA networks – offerpal, cpalead etc etc. Right now $uperRewards is generating exactly 20 times the revenue per daily active user of the next best network we used.

Compared to other comparable services, $R offers the highest (more…)

Monetizing Facebook Applications – An Insider’s Look

jason bailey chickenholeIf you’ve wondered how Facebook Applications can be effectively monetized, one of the players in the market is Jason Bailey AKA Chickenhole (right).

Jason’s one of the super affiliates that I’ve learned a number of techniques from and he’s also one of the partners at CPA network Millnic Media.

I had a chance to talk to Jason and he’s mentioned that he’s spending lots of time monetizing the Facebook social network through the applications.

If you’re still wondering about the financial viability of developing a Facebook App, Jason talks about how a particular app generated $1 MILLION in a week (did I get your attention?), and how the arbitrage mechanics work on Facebook.

In fact, to get an insight, you might want to check out the presentation he gave at a Facebook Developer’s Garage in Vancouver last October.
