Nice article and comments on using Google Adsense to monetize a website. But as far as I know you can't use Adsense for in-browser Flex RIA or AIR applications. Anyone tried? Have you seen an AIR app with Adsense ads?

Monetizing a Flash game
Here's a multipart tutorial of an Italian programmer on how he monetized Flash games.

Not exactly my cup-of-tea since I don't do Flash and I don't do games, but it's interesting to read his experience. Is all of the money on internet only being made by games and porn? ;-)

Want to track Adobe Flash? Now you can!
Wouldn't it be nice if you can track where your money is coming from? ;-)
Google Analytics now works for Flash and Flex. I wonder whether it will work for AIR applications as well. Anyone tried already? I will try it out and report the result here. Stay tune.

Monetizing AIR and Flex applications
I am using this blog to discuss and gather ideas on monetizing AIR and Flex applications.
One question I have is whether AIR/Flex developers are actually making money for their creations? I know you can earn a living as a consultant or working for a software company, but what about self-employed folks. Or if you are building a neat RIA app on the side, can you actually make money on that? Most of the AIR/Flex I see out that are neat but most are freeware.
I would love to hear ideas from other plus anyone who want to share their experiences if they have done it. I've got tons of questions on the "HOW" parts too - for example, are you using ads, selling your app, got a website that charges monthly fee, etc.
BTW, here's a great example I found from NYTimes:

I will add entries here as I find info on the subject. Please feel free to share your ideas and experiences.
