Make something of value.

It's as simple as that. People will pay for something that they think is worth their money. When I made www.friendfury.com it went completely viral and made $600 the first 8 hours and about $200 a day for a few months afterwards until we stopped promoting it heavily to focus on other projects.

People paid for our subscriptions because it was worth the money to them to get 500+ friend requests a day on Myspace for whatever reason.
