How I make $300+ each day with Facebook...

118 replies
I'm in a good mood today, so Im gonna lay out for you my "playbook" for making money with Facebook.

I basically lost about $3,000 testing on Facebook before I made this campaign profitable. Im gonna share with you what I've learned and how I went from losing money to profiting $300-$1000 a day on Facebook...

The product: The 31 Day Fat Loss Cure (Clickbank product)

This is my own product, so commissions are higher than if you were an affiliate. However the campaigns Im running would still make you about $100 a day as an affiliate.

Targeting

Your target market is EVERYTHING on Facebook. I've had campaigns go from losing $200 a day to profiting $200 a day with just a simple change in my target market.

I usually have 2 different target markets...

1. Keyword based markets (ex... interested in Gardening)
2. Demographic markets... (ex.... women, ages 40-45 in the U.S.)

When it comes to keyword targeting I usually try to target "Likes" that people are interested in. So our product is a fat loss product, and one of the things many of our readers are interested in is "Gardening" - it fits one of our demographics of 40-65 year old women really well.

So in Facebook I would make ads targeted at women age 40+ interested in gardening, who also have a college degree.

I got this little tip from Shoemoney back when I was doing local leadgen through Facebook...

You will get much better conversions when you target people who have a college degree for certain products. In general, people with a college degree are more successful, care more for their health & image, and also have more money so your conversions are sure to go up when promoting something like The 31 Day Fat Loss Cure...

I also used this for a local dentist for a free teeth whitening offer - and when we switched to only targeting people with a college degree the conversions went through the roof.

Thats basically how I setup the targeting for keywords. Like I said, I also do some demographic targeting by age, country etc... and follow a similar method.

The Ads

I currently do all CPC on Facebook.

I used to do CPM, but I found that I was getting a lot of clicks from "App" traffic - and this is terrible traffic when you have a 20 minute sales video like we do. People playing Farmville or Mafia Wars might enter their email or do a lead gen offer, but they wont sit around and watch a 20 minute sales video.

So I stick with mostly CPC for that reason.

When it comes to your ad, the picture is the most important part by FAR... Nothing else is even close. Shoemoney told me that he broke it down like this...

-> 70% Picture
-> 20% Body Copy
-> 10% Headline

Now this is obviously different than the order of importance in a standard sales letter (the headline being the most important part)

Ad Examples

I can't post any of our ads here since I have a low post count...

When I put up new ads, I usually test a combination of 30 different ad images. Just look for pictures on Istockphoto.com and you can grab a bunch of them really quickly for pretty cheap.

BTW make sure you grab the FB Ad Manager from 4HourAffiliate.com. If you're serious about doing FB ads, you MUST have this. It saves me at least 30-40 hours of work per week.

Like I said, the image is the most important part by far. Don't "guess" and say you think you know a certain ad will work. I can guarantee you have no idea what will work on Facebook.

Ive had some pictures that I didnt even want to test because I thought they would suck, end up being the best pulling ad I had.

Other than testing your images, make sure you always put a call to action in your ads!

Something as simple as "Click here now..." works. You will always get a bump in CTR when you have a call to action on Facebook.

Bidding

Like I said, I always do CPC with Facebook...

When I bid on clicks I usually start them out with something like .31 per click (always bid .01 cent more, dont bid on .20, .25, .30 since thats where all the competition is)

Once my campaign is doing well with a good CTR (between .13 - .2) I'll drop the bid price back down to like .21 or so. Sometimes I'll go even lower with .16 or so (all depends on the demographic & conversions)


Ad Burn Out


Over time you're going to have to switch out the pictures and some of the ad copy because they will burn out on FB and your CTR will drop.

Most of the time I find my ads work well for 2-3 weeks with no problems.

Other Resources


Here are a few of the best free resources out there for Facebook Ads...

-> Guest post I did on the Shoemoney blog about Facebook
shoemoney.com/2010/06/21/dialing-in-your-facebook-campaigns/

-> Shoe's Aff. Summit FB presentation
shoemoney.com/facebook-advertising-soup-to-nuts-guide/

-> A good overview of FB ads from our affiliate center
31dayfatlosscure.com/facebook-ad-secrets/

Hopefully this will help a few people who are running campaigns already (or maybe it will get you started with Facebook Ads)

    To add to this, CTR (Click-through-rate) is very important on Facebook, it can mean the difference between an ad getting a few hundred impressions or a few hundred thousand impressions. Facebook will always award more impressions to the ads with good CTR so keep that in mind when creating your ads, make them as appealing as possible and of course at the same time you still want to make them relevant so they convert for you.

        Just thought I'd bump this thread up here with a response...it would be sad to see it fade off the first page so fast....

        I just read through the entire Shoemoney thread, and found it quite enjoyable and insightful. (Thanks, Justin!)

        I definitely don't want this to become an offshoot political discussion, but I did find the ad about the soldier to be quite compelling...the coupling of "NBC" with the word "Soldier", I believe lends quite a bit of trust and credibility regarding what (I hope) many would perceive as an honorable profession. I almost clicked on it on Shoemoney's blog and I know "what's" up with the kind of stuff...lol

        As i have personal experienced doing FB ads is like see a piece paper burning, and the most hard parts are:

        1. Image
        2. Finding the Right Demographics, Age and Interests
        3. Bids
        4. Scale it

        Those above doing manually will take more than 30 minutes for doing 1 Campaign, and no FB Tools for doing automation or may be i miss it?

        Yes I have, but I couldnt get it to be profitable - I would collect emails, and then forward them to the sales video (while putting them in a 14 day autoresponder)

        The open rates of the emails was pretty weak, somewhere around 10%, so I scratched that idea and just went for the quick sale instead.

          Yep - I would start with free traffic sources and build up some capital (this is what I did. I made like $6k, then started to spend that on paid traffic)

          If you just play around with $100 at a time, you're pretty much wasting your money. Because once you get it dialed in, you won't have anything left to spend!

            I am going to promote your product, in your affiliate help.. you say that $20 a day on fb is ok. Is this not the case? I have about $250 to throw at FB, can you help me in terms of showing me where the pitfalls are? This is going to be my first attempt at FB (which is totally different to the content network from what I gather).

    Great post. I have been advertising on FB for quite some time and through trial and error have obtained some good results. As you say the target market is key, and once you poise your ad to a market that has the money to purchase your product you will make many sales.

    I've tried facebook advertising before and I have the damnest time getting the stupid things approved.

    Facebook seems to either think my ad is insulting/demeaning or some other BS.

    How do you get around that? Just keep trying new ads until they get through?

    To the newbies... if you were to start a bricks and mortar store it costs money. If you don't know anything about what your doing... because you enter a market new to you, it costs more money because of overcoming the learning curve. Simple business.

    I wish I'd seen this before. I actually bought a product for I think $47 that described what you did about the importance of demographics and some other stuff. Point is I could have saved some money by just implementing what you wrote. Dammm!

    I can say though that what you're doing does work and I think it was better than the guide bought. Well done Justin.

      Not sure what you mean. I don't have a coaching program, but I do help people who are affiliates of my product to dial in their campaigns...


      justin.... good post.... solid advice 'from the trenches' how are you tracking all the diff ads on facebook?
      I send them through another CB account and make a new TID for each one. Prolly the simplest way there is. I messed around with hypertracker and didnt like it.


      Hey Justin, great post, thanks for that!

      quick question regarding the product: I was under the impression that
      FB didn't like weightloss and similar programs.
      Did I mis-understand that? (I've had a few campaigns disapproved because
      they were promoting weightloss programs, I guess I should've promoted your's, ey?)

      Veit
      They have no problem with them. You just can not do any rebill type offers. You also have to be very careful about how you setup your ads, as you're not allowed to put a health condition in a negative light. This is why I usually base mine around food/exercises and the ad is more about "these foods make people fat". You can't just come out and tell someone they need to lose weight, Facebook doesnt like that...

      What a great success in Facebook. But for me, they didn't approve my ads. Can you share some tips to make a suitable landing page?
      Honestly I would just email Facebook. The support is pretty helpful. its affiliates@facebook.com Ive had ads rejected for the weirdest reasons, and then I just fix that little problem and everything is ok

    I like this kind of post. It get's everyone starting to think about their target market more.

    People waste a ton of time on scattergun approaches when it comes to SEO. Not seeming to care if they are wasting a TON of their own time.

    But when you are paying for the traffic, you need to be pinpointing your audience. What they like, do and want.

      I've been playing around with Facebook ads for a while, mostly low budget. Never had much success with Facebook though...

      I, too, was testing too few images and ad versions. I always knew split testing was what PPC was all about... however, as the OP said: You, split testing 30 different images... That really opened my eyes.

      People who like gardening are usually in our target demographic - they also are somewhat active if they like gardening, so our product will fit them pretty well

      Im not sure how to quote more posts, but heres some more answers...

      1. We have copy-n-paste ads in our affiliate section at Facebook & Plenty Of Fish Ad Examples | 31 Day Fat Loss Cure

      2. When I say Im making $300 a day, that means profit. So 800 in ad spend to make 1100 in commissions...

      3. I used to use FB ad manager, but now just target a little more broad and go from there. FB ad manager was incredible - I havent found anything like it since. Plus Id rather not get banned, if FB doesnt approve of it.

      4. For free traffic to build up capital, I recommend learning SEO and building up killer content and review sites. If you have connections, then do a product launch of your own.

      Hope this helps!

      - Justin

    Love the info but I am a bit confused by th title of the post. It says make $300/day but you say you are currently spending $800-$1000. Does that mean you get $1100-$1400 in commissions/sales for that ad budget? It was good advice to save up about 6k in that case.

    I bet you would get a lot of affiliates if you posted a FB ad swipe file on your affiliates page. I would give it a try if I knew exactly what images and copy is converting for you. The testing is what kills motivation.

    Have you tried other traffic like mobile marketing, media buying, etc? Is FB the best source for your product? I saw conversions are at 1.4% is that because FB users are Luke warm prospects? Don't get me wrong, I know that % is above the average. Just want your insights.

    The product: The 31 Day Fat Loss Cure (Clickbank product)

    This is my own product, so commissions are higher than if you were an affiliate. However the campaigns Im running would still make you about $100 a day as an affiliate.

    Targeting

    Your target market is EVERYTHING on Facebook. I've had campaigns go from losing $200 a day to profiting $200 a day with just a simple change in my target market.

    I usually have 2 different target markets...

    1. Keyword based markets (ex... interested in Gardening)
    2. Demographic markets... (ex.... women, ages 40-45 in the U.S.)

    When it comes to keyword targeting I usually try to target "Likes" that people are interested in. So our product is a fat loss product, and one of the things many of our readers are interested in is "Gardening" - it fits one of our demographics of 40-65 year old women really well.

    So in Facebook I would make ads targeted at women age 40+ interested in gardening, who also have a college degree.

    I got this little tip from Shoemoney back when I was doing local leadgen through Facebook...

    You will get much better conversions when you target people who have a college degree for certain products. In general, people with a college degree are more successful, care more for their health & image, and also have more money so your conversions are sure to go up when promoting something like The 31 Day Fat Loss Cure...

    I also used this for a local dentist for a free teeth whitening offer - and when we switched to only targeting people with a college degree the conversions went through the roof.

    Thats basically how I setup the targeting for keywords. Like I said, I also do some demographic targeting by age, country etc... and follow a similar method.

    The Ads

    I currently do all CPC on Facebook.

    I used to do CPM, but I found that I was getting a lot of clicks from "App" traffic - and this is terrible traffic when you have a 20 minute sales video like we do. People playing Farmville or Mafia Wars might enter their email or do a lead gen offer, but they wont sit around and watch a 20 minute sales video.

    So I stick with mostly CPC for that reason.

    When it comes to your ad, the picture is the most important part by FAR... Nothing else is even close. Shoemoney told me that he broke it down like this...

    -> 70% Picture
    -> 20% Body Copy
    -> 10% Headline

    Now this is obviously different than the order of importance in a standard sales letter (the headline being the most important part)

    Ad Examples

    I can't post any of our ads here since I have a low post count...

    When I put up new ads, I usually test a combination of 30 different ad images. Just look for pictures on Istockphoto.com and you can grab a bunch of them really quickly for pretty cheap.

    BTW make sure you grab the FB Ad Manager from 4HourAffiliate.com. If you're serious about doing FB ads, you MUST have this. It saves me at least 30-40 hours of work per week.

    Like I said, the image is the most important part by far. Don't "guess" and say you think you know a certain ad will work. I can guarantee you have no idea what will work on Facebook.

    Ive had some pictures that I didnt even want to test because I thought they would suck, end up being the best pulling ad I had.

    Other than testing your images, make sure you always put a call to action in your ads!

    Something as simple as "Click here now..." works. You will always get a bump in CTR when you have a call to action on Facebook.

    Bidding

    Like I said, I always do CPC with Facebook...

    When I bid on clicks I usually start them out with something like .31 per click (always bid .01 cent more, dont bid on .20, .25, .30 since thats where all the competition is)

    Once my campaign is doing well with a good CTR (between .13 - .2) I'll drop the bid price back down to like .21 or so. Sometimes I'll go even lower with .16 or so (all depends on the demographic & conversions)


    Ad Burn Out


    Over time you're going to have to switch out the pictures and some of the ad copy because they will burn out on FB and your CTR will drop.

    Most of the time I find my ads work well for 2-3 weeks with no problems.

    Other Resources


    Here are a few of the best free resources out there for Facebook Ads...

    -> Guest post I did on the Shoemoney blog about Facebook
    shoemoney.com/2010/06/21/dialing-in-your-facebook-campaigns/

    -> Shoe's Aff. Summit FB presentation
    shoemoney.com/facebook-advertising-soup-to-nuts-guide/

    -> A good overview of FB ads from our affiliate center31dayfatlosscure.com/facebook-ad-secrets/

    Hopefully this will help a few people who are running campaigns already (or maybe it will get you started with Facebook Ads)

      Go to clickbank, get an account ( if you don't have one already.. it's free.. ), locate his product and get your affiliate hoplink! Easy peasy, then just promote it. Ex. you could use facebook similar to how he explains or any PPC network, blogs, good ole article marketing, many options.


      Hope thats a good starting point for you.

      Simple. If you eat from the garden you will lose weight.

    Awesome and generous post.

    Two quick questions:


    - It seems that FB AD Manager has ben shut down by FB?
    What alternative do you suggest?

    -you said
    "Yep - I would start with free traffic sources and build up some capital (this is what I did. I made like $6k, then started to spend that on paid traffic)"

    Any free traffic sources were most effective for you e.g article marketing, video marketing.

    Thanks again.
    Stay Sunny.

        Not everyone on FB is there to make money. There are those who just want to chat or meet up and there are those who want to play games all day then there's who want to build a huge list of liker's and not everyone in this forum is struggling although we could use a little more of what the web has to offer.

        Same story with POF too - what did he do? Create an amateur looking dating site in .net? But he spread it into the right audience. There were hundreds of sites like that around at the time. Could you do something like that today? Maybe, maybe not....

        Some reasons for Facebook:
        • He was at the right place and at the right time
        • He mastered viral marketing, audience of college students...
        • He didn't wait to be breastfed from WSOs, he took action and had a hungry market. He even hacked into systems and went to prison to get what he wanted.
        • Finally I'll say he had luck too.
        I think that final spark of creativity and perseverance is what determines who sinks or swims...

      Celente, this is a very effective strategy that was also employed by many of the big PPC guys when affiliate marketing on Adwords was still ok, i.e. spying on their competitors. While there isn't a facebook tool out there that lets you spy on competitors' campaigns (to the best of my knowledge), you just have to notice and take note of the Facebook ads that keep showing up every day, because that is the surest sign that the people running those ads are making money.

      The picture is the most important part of your Facebook ad, so make sure it stands out from the rest, and also replace/rotate them so that you have new ones displaying every 48 hours or so.

    I noticed you mentioned capturing emails was not working for you. It's probably because Facebook users spend too much time of FB to check emails. By the time they get around to checking their inbox it's full of crap, and they probably just delete everything.

    Something as simple as "Click here now..." works. You will always get a bump in CTR when you have a call to action on Facebook.

    Bidding

    Like I said, I always do CPC with Facebook...

    When I bid on clicks I usually start them out with something like .31 per click (always bid .01 cent more, dont bid on .20, .25, .30 since thats where all the competition is)

    Once my campaign is doing well with a good CTR (between .13 - .2) I'll drop the bid price back down to like .21 or so. Sometimes I'll go even lower with .16 or so (all depends on the demographic & conversions)


    Ad Burn Out


    Over time you're going to have to switch out the pictures and some of the ad copy because they will burn out on FB and your CTR will drop.

    Most of the time I find my ads work well for 2-3 weeks with no problems.

    Other Resources


    Here are a few of the best free resources out there for Facebook Ads...

    -> Guest post I did on the Shoemoney blog about Facebook
    shoemoney.com/2010/06/21/dialing-in-your-facebook-campaigns/

    -> Shoe's Aff. Summit FB presentation
    shoemoney.com/facebook-advertising-soup-to-nuts-guide/

    -> A good overview of FB ads from our affiliate center31dayfatlosscure.com/facebook-ad-secrets/

    Hopefully this will help a few people who are running campaigns already (or maybe it will get you started with Facebook Ads)

      Of course it still works. Let me give you a tip here - the most important part of the FB ad is the image, and it needs to be rotated every 48 hours or so to keep it fresh and to avoid burn out.

          Regards,
          You obviously have to do it manually. How can you automate such an important task like that? You have to be involved in the image selection process, as this is one crucial area that can either make or break your conversions.

    Yipes!

    Great content Justin!

    I was thinking about running some Facebook ads for my
    new service, and by the looks of how you've laid everything
    out in a step-by-step format for me, I'll set up some campaigns
    tonight...

    Thanks!

    Mary

    How do you do keyword based marketing on facebook.. I mean the usual keyword tools would give keywords but not necessarily "likes". I am sure if I were to do a weight loss based campaign I am not going to find many with one of the likes as "weight loss". (They would probably add body building / muscle building as interest but not weight loss)

      Yes, you're right.

      On Facebook, you have to think what person, product, book, movie, celebrity, show, games, character, artist and even phrase your target audience likes.

      So in your example, probably people who LIKE McDonalds or other fast food restaurants might have a problem with being over-weight so you could test targeting them.

      Or you could target girls who like certain brands of chocolate and so on.

      In other words, think of stuff like that - what could my target prospects most likely LIKE on Facebook.

      I wrote a more detailed post on Facebook targeting, you can check it out here: http://www.warriorforum.com/ad-netwo...-strategy.html

      Take care guys,

      ~Davor

      PS: It's crucial to learn more about your market. So for the same product, you should learn the statistics of obesity, like here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obesity..._United_States (For example, Mississippi is ranked worst, so you could target only people from that state)

    Great information. I have yet to give FB a try but do you think that this system could work with Google also. I have $100 free with Google.

    I have a tip, too. When using a picture, try to have it be a girl with a nice cleavage. Your click through rate will sky rocket.

    Time of thinking is over.
