How Does Facebook Make Money?

How does Facebook make money?

A question on the minds of so many thousands of people. Facebook, the biggest social networking website doesn’t charge membership fee, it’s 100% free to join. So how is Facebook making money then?…

How much money does Facebook make?

It’s amazing how fast Facebook has grown, both in terms of attracting more members and also generating revenue. The fact is that no one knows for sure how mcuh money Facebook makes. Just like most other privet companies, Facebook tends to shy away from revealing exact numbers when it comes to their revenue. But, most analysts think that Facebook has been doubling its revenues every single year. According to estimates, in 2007 Facebook banked a “mere” $150 million. In 2008 Facebook generated around $300 million in revenue. But in 2009, Facebook’s revenue was an estimated $500 million. The number being thrown around for Facebook’s earning in 2010 is a jaw dropping $2 billion!

How does Facebook make money?

These numbers certainly answer the question of how Facebook makes money. But these numbers are huge and it just makes you wonder, how is Facebook making money and where did all that revenue came from. Well, it’s simple really. Facebook makes money in 3 ways:

Advertising

Ads are the biggest and most important revenue generator for Facebook. Surly you have seen ads on your Facebook page by now! Those are ads that generate the most revenue for Facebook. With over 800 million users, Facebook is magnet for advertisers. What makes advertising on Facebook even more attracting for advertisers is having all the right information about consumers, YOU!
That’s right, non of this would be possible without “YOU”, the Facebook user. The reason Facebook advertising is so profitable is because of the fact that Facebook knows everything about you. It’s all about the demographics. Facebook uses your data to display ads you would be interested in. That’s what advertisers like about Facebook advertising, which is why more than $450 million of that $500 million Facebook generated in 2009 came from its advertising program.

If you like to get your fair share of this huge pie, read my How to Make Money on Facebook post.

Applications

How does Facebook make money with applications you ask? Well, there are hunderds of thousands of applications sold on Facebook. Parent companies of these applications make millions of dollars. Of course Facebook gets some of that millions of dollars as a “rental fee” (allowing companies to sell their apps on Facebook).

Virtual Goods (Gift Shop)

Have you seen the “send a gift” option on your Facebook page? This is another way Facebook earns money. As a member, you can send what are called “virtual gift” to your friends at an average cost of about $1 per gift. With almost 750 million users, you can imagine how those dollars can add up quickly! Its estimated that the ‘gift shop” generates upwards of $100 million a year.

Facebook has come a long way from Mark Zuckerberg and his friends crating it in a college campus in 2004 to making around $2 billion in 2010. As of 2011, Mark Zuckerberg’s wealth is an estimated $17.5 billion. And believe it or not, Facebook hasn’t even began to explore its real money making potential. As Facebook attracts more and more members, its revenue generating options will increase and with that comes more money. Perhaps the real question we all should be asking ourselves is how we can take our business to the next level so that it can make money just as how Facebook makes money, instead of how does Facebook make money.

Facebook Overview

About Facebook

Facebook (http://facebook.com) is a social networking site where people form connections, both personal and professional. It was originally developed for college and university use but has expanded to include people from all walks of life. People can post status messages on their wall about what they are doing or thinking, share photos and videos, and comment on status messages or media of others in their network. Developers can use hooks into the Facebook system to build small games and applications that people can subscribe to; these allow users to engage socially with their connections, and they integrate with Facebook in a way that allows the applications to post information to the user's walls as well.

How do I use it?

After creating a Facebook profile, you can identify friends and acquaintances who also have Facebook profiles. Once they confirm your relationship with them, you will see each other's status messages in your activity streams. Organizations and groups can also create Facebook profiles (called pages), and you can "like" these to show your membership or interest (there will be a link on the group's page for you to formally "like" the group, which links you in a similar way as friending someone). As you develop your profile, you can allow Facebook to reveal more or less information about yourself to your friends, to friends of friends, and to the general public.

You can post brief updates about things you are doing, add photos identify other Facebook users who appear in them, read and comment on the updates of others, and even chat online with your Facebook friends. You can browse games and applications and add those that interest you to your profile. There are social activities, goal-oriented games, productivity applications, and apps that tie in to other social services you may use, like Twitter or Foursquare. Note that these applications will often add updates to your Facebook stream that can be seen by your community.

Why is it important?

Because of its sheer number of mainstream internet users, Facebook is one of the most important avenues for connecting to and communicating with people who might support or be interested in the work of your organization. By creating a Facebook page, an organization can create a hub for people to follow events and activities that you add, post their own messages and media related to their experiences, and engage with people at your organization as well as with other patrons. Facebook offers an array of advanced analytical tools for you to determine its effectiveness in your overall social media strategy. Other features allow you to integrate Facebook with your website or bring information from your website into Facebook.

Facebook Tips

Build a Facebook page for your organization. Fill out the profile and set up information feeds into the page so that it is not empty when people arrive.
Promote the page through other venues and encourage people to "like" your page.
Use Facebook to reach out to your network or to directly engage with your audience byproviding feedback to their messages.
Integrate your Twitter account with your Facebook account so your Facebook updates areautomatically posted to your Twitter account.
Become a resource for the museum community; in addition to posting information about yourinstitution, be sure to point to relevant content and resources elsewhere, and promote activities at other museums.
Use a casual tone in your Facebook communications. Engage with your audience with an appropriate, professional sense of humor.
Once you are comfortable setting up your page and posting, look into installing apps that can extend your presence.
