Facebook Ads success stories?

Thanks for the heads up. I was planning to use that sidebar ads myself..

People have built whole CPA businesses around that one platform. Ive never had a successful campaign there. To make things better they banned me for no reason.

Really just depends on the offer, how much you're willing to spend, and what kind of experience you have

Very true. No free trials, for example, is a big disadvantage. I always suggest running:

• Dating
• Download
• International
• Facebook Compliant Mobile

I submitted 3 ads in the make money online and dating niches but Facebook disapproved all of them. One of them was promoting my own product, not a CPA offer. Their advertising policies are too restrictive.
I don't know which niches they want you to promote in.

Any suggestions on getting ads approved on Facebook?

I just got into facebook ads today and here's what I found.

You need a CTR over .08% for winning campaigns.

CPC sucks, go with CPM, but be sure to watch your ads closely if your using CPM bidding.

Here's what I found:

1.

I just tested about 15 different images and varying about 20 different demographics for a few offers and let me tell you it's as real pain to find converting offers because there are so many variables. I spent all day, approx. 14 hours loading images, finding new ones, loading new ad copy ect... at the end of the day I found a few winning campaigns.

2. Facebook is odd, a campaign I had approved last night was rejected for a different age group, same image, same copy, same offer it just doesn't make sense. I didn't change a single thing.

3. Target less than 300k people to increase your CTR. I know I know it seems like going after 5 million people to get massive traffic is tempting, but trust me, if your CTR sucks facebook won't server you impressions, especially for CPC.

At the end of the day I found a campaign that will scale to near $100 daily profit. I spent about $60 today runnin offers and made about $15, but out of that I found a winner that will easily got to $100 daily profit now that I found the right image that pulls well and the right demographic combine with the right offer.

I'll post back tomorrow and let you know how I am doing.

I've continued to put in a ton more of facebook ads. I am planning on getting the facebook tools software that John Volk recommends.

Just to give you an idea, I've created over 80 variations of ads on facebook. This software I am hoping will make it a lot easier.

So far the best converting offers on facebook are e-mail and zip submits. I've had a few convert on the long form insurance offers.

My zip submits conversion went through the roof after changing the landing page where I literally tell the end user what to do... ie "submit your zip"

Localized targeting also helped for conversions. >>> Age 33 FL Drivers for example. Targeting the city works even better.

To date:

1 profitable campaign yielding about $15 a day in 1 state (if I scale this to more states and more targeting I'll probably get it to near $100 daily)

1 campaign (cartoon me) at break even.... a little tweaking on the lander will probably get this one profitable.

Don't get me wrong I went through a TON of losing campaigns with what are now profitable ones by only changing the demographics, images and titles.... once you get one near break even you have to keep tweaking.

Since no one else seems to know anything about facebook I am sharing my learning experience and I will master this #@!@
