Keep trying or find a different approach?

Hello everyone. To start this off I would like to point out that I am new and haven't made any money online besides a handful of Ebay auctions. I Have been working with FB ads and cpa offers. The first 3-4 weeks of my journey were finding ways to get my ads approved, which was very very frustrating. Once I found a way to get them approved I started a few different campaigns to test. After a month of ad variations and testing I still haven't made one conversion.

So my question is.. How long do you stay with one system without any profit before you move on to the next one?

I'm very hesitant on putting FB on pause for a while because I really want to be successful. I have read so many times before the best way to start is to find a system and take action and that many new people fail because they jump around from system to system before they get the first one to work.

Any thoughts, tips, or ideas would be much appreciated.

    You are ahead of 99% of newbies right now because you're actually asking this question. Most make one try, fail and quit, moving along to the next big thing. So good for you in actually knowing that you're going to have to make more then one attempt because you're going to muck it up somehow the first time at least.

    If you haven't made any conversions after a month on facebook ads, then you need to figure out if it's the offer, your ad copy, the image or something else that is not working. The system itself works, but you have to put all the pieces in the right order to make sure they all function properly.

    How many times is up to you, 5,10 but don't retry it without making at least one change so something.

    I guess I've been overlooking one key step somewhere. I've tried 3 different niches with 3-5 different offers per. I tested email/zip, and short form per niche. I tried direct linking to the offer and directing the ad to a blog/landing page that was pretty much a bigger, more detailed version of the ad on fb.

    Yeap, I agree with Coach...good looks on sticking with the method this far within jumping ship. I mean Facebook Ads work, so it's not the overall method. Now the trick becomes finding where in the process you are getting tangled or perhaps you haven't enough data to know that yet.

    It's really hard to tell without knowing more about your situation. Do tell!

      To be honest I thought the whole testing/tracking part was going to be the easy part of it all. I thought I knew more about what I was doing than I actually did.

      My ads were getting clicks but none of them had a real good ctr that I thought I could work with. I'm not sure what information you need from me to make it easier for you to help but I have nothing to hide and obviously no trade secrets lol.

      Thanks a lot for taking the time to help btw I really do appreciate it

    to get good conversion with FB need tweaking and i think if you cant try to sell ppl something on fb cuz they are only for chating and discussing. if you want to get good work on fb then use CPA which need some simple form like email submit etc..

    You got traffic and clicks, but no conversion. Isn't it clear enough?
