It seems that the face of all the 'Get Rich Quick' Schemes are changing. It seems it is now easier to develop an application for Facebook or the Apple App Store than to set up something like a blog and then get traffic to it.

The mass media may be enamored of the rags-to-riches stories of developers on Apple’s App Store, but it isn’t the only game in town for indie developers to strike it rich. We’ve gotten word from SocialMedia, a popular ad platform for social network applications, that one of the company’s clients pulled in over $700,000 in advertising revenues from their Facebook apps in December alone. Granted, this was spread over 30+ of the client’s applications, but the company only consists of a handful of (very prolific) developers.
