Marketplace: This was the first application that had caught my eyes as I was browsing through various applications when I first signed up on Facebook. Although at that time I didn't quite understand what Marketplace was all about, a lot of my friends who had been using Facebook before I signed up told me about how it is a valuable application that allows users to sell various goods, whether brand new or secondhand, online. A lesser known utility of this application is using it effectively for searching employment opportunities.

Radical Buy: This application is made on the lines of eBay and it enables you to sell your stuff on Facebook. Besides allowing you to list your ware and make it visible to other Facebook users, this application also allows you to yoke in others online to help sell your product in exchange for commission! This also means that if you don't happen to have anything to sell yourself, you can still make money by displaying products of others on your own page and earn commission thereby.

CafePress: If you've ever used any online marketing tool such as Zazzle, you'll get an idea how this Facebook application works. You can use this online store application to sell your own as well as others' products to Facebook users. You have an equal chance of making money in both cases!

Shopit: Whether you wanna sell a product or buy one or both, Shopit is the online one-stop-shop for you! In order to use it, all you need to do is add any free store to your Facebook page!

Lending Club: If you have a knack for banking and if money as a product appears more lucrative than other material goods or services, then Lending Club is definitely what you should check out! This application allows you to extend loans and earn interest therefrom. The procedures and functions are covered in detail by the Lending Club following stringent legal norms and in line with relevant judicial provisions. All this makes it a highly secure online money lending application! So, all set to go Jew?
