Seems like everyone (including parents and grandparents!) is on Facebook now. And based on personal experience, its astoundingly easy to spend large chunks of time surfing around on the social networking site and not accomplishing much else! But with the help of a new website, it may be possible to change that, and actually make some money while having fun on Facebook.

AppBank, which just recently launched in beta mode, is a platform that lets any registered Facebook user create different applications to be used on Facebook itself and make money off of them. The best part is that you don’t even have to have any developing experience to create the app! Appbank’s straight-forward forms allow you to create a quiz, a gift, or a poll, among other games. You can then receive a portion of the revenue made from ads placed on the facebook page where your app will be found. 

The higher the quality of your app, the more people will see it, which increases the potential for scoring ad revenue. While this is not a way to make millions, if you create enough good applications that people visit often, you could make a significant amount of cash – right now the top monthly user has made just over $1000, and the top application (a quiz) has brought in almost $800. We’ve got some guinea pigs currently creating applications to test out, so we’ll let you know how it turns out for us!
