Next Wednesday, Offerpal is hosting a Facebook Developer Garage that focuses on the ins and outs of monetizing Facebook apps through virtual currency. We’ll look at the different ways to create a virtual economy within your app and the best practices for extracting real revenues from your virtual dollars. We’ll examine such issues as how to:
- Offer virtual goods and services that will inspire and motivate your users
- Promote virtual currency where it will gain the most traction
- Integrate virtual currency into the user experience
- Optimize revenues
Speakers include:
- Anu Shukla, Founder & CEO, Offerpal Media
- John Hwang, Director of Products, RockYou
- Siqi Chen, Founder & CEO, Serious Business
- Nicholas Talarico, Director of Operations, Sibblingz
- Markus Weichselbaum, PhD, CEO, TheBroth
Also, we are excited to announce that Kelly Winters, Platform Program Manager at Facebook, is going to be attending to give an update on Facebook Platform.
Here are the details:
