Promoting your business using a Facebook app is not a passing fad but is a new online marketing trend that shows sticking power. Here are some tips to help you if you're seriously considering developing your own Facebook app.

Say No to Ulterior Motives: A lot of Facebook apps are shady and aren't what they appear. Shady apps try to get users to take additional actions as well as using the application itself. Some possible actions are getting them to click on an ad or downloading a program. This won't help you get long term results and isn't the right way to go. When building your app, focus on creating something that people will want to use. Keep your app from deviating from its purpose and avoid trying to make your users do something they don't want. As people see your app is honest and provides real value, you will be able to attract a large audience. You can definitely market your other action oriented apps to your users later on, but not during their interaction with your first app.

One of the most important aspects of a successful app is how viral it can become. That is why your app must be easy to share with no technical issues at all. A word of caution is that people may resent your app forcing them to share it for some reason, or in some way. Perhaps a lot depends on the market you are working in because some may not have a problem with the forced share and others really will have a huge problem with it. This is not hard to do - creating a high quality app that really satisfies people so much they are happy to tell their network about it.
