I made a post about this on WickedFire, here.  Anybody who thinks they can use the suggestions in the thread and apply it accordingly, feel free to do so.

Here’s an example of one of my campaigns on Facebook. This particular campaign wasn’t profitable, but I believed it had potential. This is also a recurring niche for those of you who are familiar with big sporting events and can take advantage.

Alright, I’ve blown through a decent amount of my $250 in Facebook coupons in my account. I have yet to get a SINGLE conversion using Facebook.

I wanted to get some insight on what I’m doing wrong in a particular campaign. Sorry if I’m outing anybody’s niche right here. I tried this as and I knew I would get some conversions for it because people feel strongly about their college football team.

I didn’t get the opportunity to split test because I only threw this offer up the Tuesday before the game.

Here’s my ad:

It is direct linking to the offer which is here: Sportsviews – Sports Social Network

I was targeting males between 16 and 24 years old in Florida and Oklahoma. I had a CTR of 0.07% and was paying and average of $0.28 per click. The payout was $3 per signup and I sent them 66 clicks and didn’t see a single conversion.

I know my targeting could’ve been better using keywords such as Florida Gators and/or Oklahoma Sooners. But I was in a hurry to launch this campaign.

After trying god knows how many campaigns over at facebook I finally found one that was profitable. I have to give a big thanks to Aequitas over at the WickedFire forums. He makes it easy for any affiliate marketer to make some money using facebook ads. He’s literally giving away gold in the Faceboook Ads post over at WickedFire. If you haven’t read it’s multitude of pages, I suggest giving it a read.

I recently have been talking to a rep over at Facebook and he’s been extremely helpful. If you guys need to talk to one yourself, go hit up WickedFire and look for the user Facebook. His name is Keith and he’s awesome.

I also found out from him that if you’ve been in touch previously with ANY other rep, that is your dedicated rep. So in my case I talked to another guy at facebook and he’s the one that is assigned to me. Just a heads up to all you people that have been in touch with a facebook rep.

I found a few template landing pages over on WickedFire and am putting one of them to use on one of my Facebook campaigns. I haven’t had any conversions with it yet, but I also haven’t had many clicks either so I’m not concerned about it, yet.

Well, I spent my free $100 and the $30 I added to my own account and made a whopping $62. At least I made my $30 back plus my domain registration fee and hosting for a couple months. I think I’ll just take a step back and get better at doing PPC on Facebook before I tackle Yahoo again.

I’m still working on spending my $250 worth of coupons. I figured out who to target for most dating ads and I figured out how to get dating ads approved. I’ve also been able to get a number of other ads approved. I haven’t had a single conversion from facebook, but I’m working on it.

I emailed my Facebook Ad Manager today and will see what kind of advice he has for me concerning Acai, Surveys, IQ Tests and Ringtones.

While driving to meet some friends at Buffalo Wild Wings the other day for Guy’s Night Out I was thinking I should be able to setup an Autoblog every 3 days. And that’s being generous with my time.

We get to watch sports, play trivia against the restaurant, have a beer and eat $0.40 wings til we’re stuffed. You can’t beat $0.40 wings. I can drink a tall draft Bud Light, watch sports on a bunch of different TV’s and/or projectors, play trivia against the restaurant and more importantly, my buddies, and I can get outta there for under $10 every time. That’s not bad for a fun 2 – 3 hours on a otherwise boring Tuesday night.

But anyways, here’s what I think can be done to do an autoblog every 3 days. I will attempt to

Day 01: Find niche, setup subdomain, install wordpress, install plugins, find feeds
Day 02: Find theme, install tracking/adsense/affiliate Offers
Day 03: Content, traffic generation

I just was in touch with a Facebook Ad Manager and we’re going to be working together next week to get some offers up.

I sent him an email late this afternoon to find out if at all possible would any of the following offers be approved and what it will take to be approved. They include Acai, Surveys, IQ Tests and Ringtones.

If anybody has some questions they would like for me to direct towards him, please, let me know.

After reading a ton of posts over on WickedFire about how hard it is to get an ad approved over at Facebook I started submitting the most random ads and start attempting to comply with their Advertising Guidelines. After about 50 ads I finally got one approved.

I don’t know how well this marketing idea would work because of the payouts on these offers but there’s only one way to find out.

To begin, I know you’ve seen the meetCITYNAMEsingles.com posters around your town. If you’ve ever tried going to those sites just to see what was up you’ll see it was a redirect to some singles network where someone obviously would be paid for your signup. Well my idea is just that with a small twist.

There are a ton of email and zip submits that pay $1 – $1.50 per lead. Well find an offer such as the Quizno’s vs. Subway. Create a small posterboard such as the singles offer and make some domain (et. quinos-vs-subway.com), put that info on your posterboard along with the free gift certificate or free whatever-the-fuck to your choice and go around to your local Subway’s and Quizno’s and place the signs somewhere close to those restaurants. Make sure you don’t put it on their property. That’ll probably spell you trouble.

There’s a ton of offers on your affiliate networks, just search for them. There’s $250 Grocery card zip submits, place those somewhere near your local grocery.

For the win, you might even want to find your local pay day loan places and place the same signs near those places.

Talk about finding your target audience. Its just a matter of making those signs and purchasing those domains. It wouldn’t take much for you to earn your investment back.

That’s just my idea though, who knows… I’m a newbie.
