Make Money With Facebook Ads – Part 1

For the first post of ‘Make Money With Facebook’ I think it would be best to start with finding offers to promote. For this you will need to be a member of an affiliate network. As far as Facebook goes, I and many others have found that NeverBlueAds have many programs for making serious cash.

Getting Signed Up
Head over to NeverBlueAds and get your account set up, this can take a few days depending on your experience level and credentials you supply them with. Alternativly you can use other networks but for the sole purpose of not getting too confusing I will use NeverBlueAds for my examples.

Finding Promotions
Now the question I see the most of is “what are teh best programs to promote on Facebook???” The answer is simple. The targeting features on Facebook allow you to really target certain age groups well so take advantage of it. Ads that seem to convert the best are Email Submit, Zip Submit, etc, but can also be hard to get through the approval system. To be generous I will even give you a money making example: Knowing that the highest percentage of coffee drinkers are between the ages 25 and 39, you could target that age group and display ads for the Gevalia gourmet coffee club. Touting its free blender, two boxes of coffee, and stainless steel travel mugs I was making a decent profit off this just last week… It was not converting as well as I wanted it to though.

Also keep in mind that Facebook has some pretty tight guidelines and anything that involves downloads or could be considered “misleading” will have a tough time making it through approval.

My Plea To Facebook – Get Rid Of The Ad Board

I really don’t understand why Facebook has this feature… Let me paint you a picture real quick.

So last night I am going through NeverBlueAds looking for some possible promos that would work well on Facebook. NeverBlueAds has some awesome offers so it did not take long. Within 20 minuets I had my campaign set up on Facebook with 10 ads running. About three hours later the ads are approved and running. I already had 56 clicks and after checking NBA I noticed that 21 of them had converted at $3.50. Not bad!

About an hour later I was up $200 bucks and then I started to noticed my clicks die down. A quick check of the ad board brought up countless ads for the exact same promo. Within 2 1/2 hours of being approved I got swiped.

I think if Facebook wants to keep people happy (and spending their money there) they need to get rid of this retarded ad board… Whats the use of spending $500 a day in clicks with 1,000,000 ads for the same thing running against you?

Facebook Marketing Resource Super Post

I decided it would be a good idea to take all of the best posts and information I have read online lately and put them in one list. Keep in mind that while a lot of this information will give you great insight on making money and leveraging social media, SMM and affiliate marketing is not for everyone. Those who are creative, driven, and LIVE outside the box are those who make the buku bucks.

And now for the list:

Facebook and Landing Pages?

In my experiances I have found that Facebook can be highly profitable if you are willing to put the time in. It will not take long before 100 other people are running ads that are for the same thing (even exact copies of your ads lol) so have ideas waiting in the wing.

If you can stay ahead of the game, you can make some big bucks off Facebook.
