If 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.

As a bonus and if you’re new to CPA marketing, Jason also explains the mechanics of how zip/email submits (more…)
It’s about 47 days to Shawn Collins and Missy Ward’s Affiliate Summit West in Vegas, and if you’re headed there, drop a note in the comments and I’ll be sure to keep an eye out for you.
I added a note to my Facebook profile to add a countdown alert (via the Top Countdowns application).
So some of the choices available:
I picked the 2nd from the bottom cos it looked kinda “slot machine-ish”. [You’d have to pay a hefty sum to see the cupcakes on my profile……….]

The projections coming from eMarketer Senior Analyst and the author of “User-Generated Content: Will Web 2.0 Pay Its Way?” Paul Verna.
Paul projects that YouTube, MySpace and Facebook will led the content change.
Another projection: “On a global basis, user- generated content ad revenues will increase from $1.6 billion in 2007 to $8.2 billion in 2011.”
Which has pundits reinforcing the “It’s about the content, stupid” mantra.
Arrayed against this are Asia-based telcos railing against Web 2.0 applications choking up the submarine cable bandwidth. [Has Web2.0 Broken The Internet?]

There’s an unholy trinity of money making niches that are said to be perpetually profitable.
If you’re looking for a ‘permanent niche’, look no further than ‘Pills, Poker and Porn’.

So Laura Alter’s post “Social networking overtaking porn?” got me thinking: Could Social Networking sites really be more popular than porn sites?
Reader Paul Johns has suggested that social networking sites could be an avenue for people to meet up for sex or to exchange naked pictures.
