For the next 30 days you can get free access to my Webinar “The Six Hour WSO” which documents and explains how in August this year I researched, created and had a NEW product launch ready in under six hours.  In a week it did over $5200 in sales, with over $3500 coming direct to me (the rest to affiliates).

Now anyone can start their own Flash Games Empire on Facebook thanks to “Instant Fb Games”, a simple software tool that will have you launching monetized games packed with viral features like leaderboards, score posting to wall, invites and more.

Games on Facebook are big business.  They are naturally viral by nature and often the competitive nature of players draws them in as they try to beat their friends scores.

The ad revenue that can be made from flash games on Facebook is massive, thats why so many big players are in the business.

But wouldn’t it be great if the average Joe could grab a slice of that action?

Facebook has 600 MILLION active users (as of January 2011) and an application database of over 550,000 applications (as of May 2010).  Many of those are Flash Games but until now it took a programmer and a design team to put something together to get a slice of the pie.

But now there’s a push button tool that instantly creates monetized Flash games for Facebook in less than five minutes.

Coming up with a truely viral app will significantly reduce the amount of time and money you have to put into promoting it. The big challenge is coming up with something thats really viral.

It never ceases to amaze me just what works and what doesn’t and the fact that there’s no guarantees. Quite often what works is very surprising indeed.

Just a few days ago we launched a slot machines application.  I use the term “launched” very loosely because what I actually did was stick up a working demo, do a few wall posts and mentioned in in four or five groups (just wall posts in groups – the groups did not belong to me).  I then left it because I wanted to get the new free application written, tested and launched.

So how do you think the slot machine app is performing considering its had virtually no promotion at all?

Take a look at this screen shot of the stats from facebook taken this evening…

A question I get asked frequently is “How can you monetize with Google Adsense ads in a Facebook application?”

Anyone who has tried will find it is not as easy as it sounds.  This is because Facebook plays about with Javascript code as it serves your pages up.  This is a security thing on their part, but it also means that a lot of standard Javascript does not function as you’d expect.

But there is a fairly easy work-around…

I spent almost five years living in the USA before returning to the UK.  While I was there I came across a guy by the name of Steve Humprey.  He is a programmer but he has this uncanny ability to be able to explain how to write and change code so that anyone can understand it.

If you are building monetized sites or you want to do your own Facebook apps then learning PHP is a very sensible step. 

But it looks so complicated doesn’t it?

It doesn’t have to be.  This is not B.S. and I highly recommend it…

As we reported a few days ago the way that Facebook feed stories work is changing to a new system.  The new system can be used right away, but the old system will be depreciated (in other words it will stop working) on 20th December 2009.

If you have looked into the new system of feed stories on Facebook it may have left you a little bemused. The example code they give is a little confusing and doesn’t quite work ‘as-is’.

After much experimenting, hitting my head against the proverbial wall and wading through page loads of posts on the developer forum from people who clearly were having similar problems, I came up with some code that works.

Let us look at this example first which requests extended permissions and then posts a feed to a users wall.  Extended permissions is the new feature where your application has to ask the user to grant permission to access or post to their wall, send them email, have offline access, send them email, etc.

The good news is that buried deep in the explanations on the Facebook developer site it turns out that there is still a way to simply pop up a request to post a feed to the users wall without the extended permissions but it is not accessible directly from the php library. However I will show you that code in a moment.

If you haven’t already you will need to download the latest facebook php libraries.  As always these are downloadable from

http://svn.facebook.com/svnroot/platform/clients/packages/facebook-platform.tar.gz

Here is my modified version of the code which I have turned into a demo that asks you for extended permissions and then posts a sample feed to your wall.  You will notice that I only ask for ‘publish stream’ permission since it is all my application needs.  I would strongly recommend that you only ask for what is necessary as users are already going to be a little wary of granting permissions so the fewer you ask for the more likely the user is going to accept.

Here is the code: (there is a downloadable zip file with all the code samples at the end of this article).
