    Something like this (http://www.warriorforum.com/ad-netwo...-facebook.html) is considered an angle. It's just a method or technique on converting your traffic to leads. You should always test with and without landing pages and several different variations of landing pages.

    I don't actually. But people always say that FB is a great source of traffic bla bla. but I never got any good luck in FB. So not interested in learning.

      It really does depends on the niche. I basically have the same way of rolling out campaigns. Out of the 4 markets I am in, only two of them works with FB traffic. So yes, I know the feeling.

    You want some examples? Alright, here's an angle I've used in the past on Facebook (although they really can work anywhere). Angles are something you should definitely be throwing into your testing loops, no matter what offer or traffic source you're running on.

    The Offer:

    Many networks carry a generic "race" dating offer. For this example, I'll be using a generic black dating offer (Black People Meet, Black Dating, etc). So the offer's landing page is usually just a normal dating lander - usually with a couple profile pictures of some very good looking people and a nice big CTA.

    The Lander:

    First you're going to want to build a landing page - this is where your 'angle' will be set. The design of your lander should be very similar to the offer page. If the offer's LP has a red theme, try and keep that color theme. I could dig up the numbers on this, but from what I remember an LP with a similar color theme had a better conversion rate by over 30%.

    The Angle:

    Okay so now we need the angle. I tested different angles to run, one that made me the quite a bit of money was "Faithful Black Christian Men". The headline of my lander was something along the lines of “These faithful black christian men are just looking for a women to settle down with.” So I built my landing page with that premise.

    So I basically took a black dating offer, and used an 'angle' to turn it into a black christian men offer. That is my angle. That is my pre-sell.

    Targeting:

    On Facebook, I used precise targeting and used the keywords #Christianity, #Jesus, #God, and so on. (I also, of course, targeted only women) Then I did a bit of research (Since there is not really a way to target race on Facebook) and found the Cities with the most dense black population and targeted those cities and cities around within a 25 mile radius.

    I split tested by age group and cities - my target audience per test group was pretty big (over 100k), I like targeting big groups. I dunno why, it just makes me feel good when I get a profitable offer on a huge target audience, haha.

    *TIP: On my lander, I threw in a Facebook “Like” button just to see how many likes I could get. I now have a Facebook page with thousands of likes. And the best part? About 50% of them are white girls. Well what does that mean? That means that not only are black women signing up for the offer, white women probably are too. So this could potentially open up a new demographic to test.

    Results:

    Alright so what was the end result? Well, my lander had a pretty good CTR and my overall ROI was 150% netting me 5 figures in profit and I exhausted the demographic within a couple months of running it. Not a crazy ROI, but definitely made me a lot of money and was sustainable for a bit. Once I exhausted that demographic, I just moved on and thought of new ways to target. My affiliate manager even gave me a pay bump because the merchant “really liked my traffic” and wanted more volume.

    Summary:

    So overall, the angle isn't just pre-selling, you have to take into consideration who your demographic is and what it takes to market to them. Research your demographic and get creative with your ideas.

        Actually, it makes sense if you think about it -
        • Most dating websites have an option to specify and search by religion.
        • The African-American demographic is mostly Christian.
        • Most religions emphasizes on getting married.
        • The offer I promoted only takes 30+ traffic - Meaning that most of my demographic are single older women, and that means they are more aggressive when looking for love, so they are more likely to convert for the merchant.
        Makes sense, right?

          Yeah said like that it does make some sense lol But even tough older women are more actively looking for love & settling down, i wonder why i've never found headline such as "Looking To Settle Down? to work well...

    Nice post above, that's what I show people too.

    Angles are emotional triggers you use as your "in". Kinda like a pick up line in a bar.

    It's very easy to understand this concept.

    The angle is basically what you use to connect the dots between your offer and your audience.

    Let's say you will promote a dating offerto young men in the UK on Facebook. Instead of going broad and targeting many different men with different interests, you could create a campaign specifically for the fans of Manchester United. You could use images of girls wearing t-shirts of MU and say somethinglike:

    Cute Red Devils
    Don't watch the next Champions League alone - Join xxxxx.com for free!

    In this case, MU would be your angle.

    You could target geeks and say that girls like intelligent men, target guys who like online games and tell them that you have something better for them to do on the internet, etc...

    Every offer and demographic offers endless possibilities for angles, so it's all about being creative and testing different ideas to find the winners.

    Always looking out for tips on FB ads...trying to get into that but just want to know what I'm doing instead of going in blind.
