Last week a run into a very interesting youtube video that really caught my eye.  The video explained the world of facebook and how a affiliate marketer like me could make some substantial money on Facebook.

Now, for those that may want to use Facebook in their affiliate marketing career, Facebook is not a beginning way to emerse yourself into this career.  Making money with Facebook is a very advance technique for making money and it involves either programming an application yourself if you have the expertise or hiring out the project to a programmer.

To most programming themselves is not an option, but hiring out the project is an option is you have the resources.  For me a perfect place to get a facebook programmer is to start at your local college.  College students don’t demand as much as an pro and they are easier to negotiate with.  Also, their looking for strong project that they can put on their resumes.  So don’t be scared to approach a computer science department offering a project that a student can really sink their teeth in.

Now that is out of the way and if you would like to program an application yourself.  Well, here are a few good resources to take a look at that can help you out.  One of them walks a beginner through a entire .Net project on creating your first Facebook application.  I recommend that this be the first exercise that you do.

2. http://developers.facebook.com/resources.php
3. http://www.merchantos.com/makebeta/facebook/facebook-php-tutorial/ - This website has links to other websites that touch on php programming. 

These are just the tip of the iceburg.  Their is such a brave new world when you embrace the social network and definitly their is a lot of money to be made.

What is your opinion?  Have you ever made any money on an facebook application?  Lets talk about it if you have..

First off lets give credit were credit is due.

Yesturday, 45n5.com wrote a post about google and getting pages indexed.  Although, I already started testing this technique 45n5.com actually gave me inspiration to write about this.

Now that is done lets get into the content.  Google has given content writers a easy way to get their content indexed in their search engine.  And it does not take much coding to make it happen.  As stated in the google adsense blog http://adsense.blogspot.com/2008/05/adsense-for-search-now-powered-by.html, all content writers have to do is install google search on their websites.  Now, once this is done google will send a spider to index your whole site, granted the spider can get to all the pages on the site.

But what makes this so good is that not only will google handle all of your sites search needs, they will also serve google adsense adds to users of the search.  So, if visitors don’t like the content that your site has and decide to visit another site on the search form you get paid.

This is a win/win proposition.  I like it and I have implemented it on my cheap concert blog as well as a number of other blogs.  Sweet…  And I have actually made some money from this switch..  Even better…

Have you every tried this?  If so, leave a comment about your results?
