Advertising CB products with Facebook

Hi guys, I'm looking into advertising CB products using Facebook ads.

Has anyone had much success with this... I'm looking at about $25 a day budget.

I've been reading up online and some people reckon that linking to a fanpage is better?

Or, even a squeeze page, with a freebie of some sort...

    To advertise clickbank on facebook you need social like products 'how to get your ex back' , 'social media jobs', 'text the romance' you get the idea.

    Seems like Clickbank is slowly making it harder and harder for affiliates and vendors...

    It depends. Bigger PPC networks - Bing, Facebook & Google AdWords have a lot of rules around landing page quality. Google is the strictest with Bing & Facebook being more lenient but not as lenient as 2nd tier PPC.

    I would not advertise the product but the niche and your website instead. Get the leads and then market the backend.

    And btw - just about anything works in Facebook. Including dieting products, IM, MMO blah blah blah.

    Facebook's targeting has come a long way!

    IMO,
    The calculation in doing ads on FB and Adword is not aboslute.
    You have to calculate the Refund factor.

    As far I know FB doesn't allow any ads in "making money" niche. However, FB allows people get involved in "making money" niche for FB page and also FB group.

    I suggest you create a FB page and insert opt in into it and also put your website/ blog url into it. Then buy ads on FB for generating likes/ fans. This is smiliar to list building.

      This definitely seems to be the way to go. Facebook is much more lenient when you are driving traffic to their own platform instead of to a potential affiliate website. Create a nice little Facebook page and you can turn that traffic into e-mail subscribers, and turn those into buyers.

      You could also market CPA offers to your list instead of CB products, since as someone else noted CB is getting much more difficult to use indiscriminately.

      Mind you, I haven't messed with Facebook in over a year; PPC was never really my thing.

    Strangely enough I see "make money" and marketing ads all the time displayed to me on facebook - all driven by my interests/likes of other pages.

    Facebook has tightened their ad guidelines.

    Every successful advertising platform eventually tightens their editorial guidelines.

    I know a CB vendor who still advertises and sells everything thru AdWords themselves. They just clickbank as the payment processor and don't care if anyone signs up to be an affiliate or not.

    It's a high quality site, lots of content and very interactive.

      Well, I decided to just link directly to the CB offer page, it's in the health niche.

      My ad was successful and I also used a $50 coupon.

      Don't really have time to set up my own squeeze page, this is more of a test run to see what happens.

      If there's a good response to this ad, then I'll try one with my own squeeze page, or FB fan page.

    Good luck. But i wouldn't be surprised in the future if Facebook disapproves on the practice of direct linking to affiliate products.

    Hi Guys, I have a question (i'm relatively new to affiliate marketing, hope to learn something from you pros here):

    I have domains which I redirected to clickbank products via my hoplink. But FB won't allow me to create ads pointing to that link (#2606 error where the ad preview normaly is is what I get when I try to create that ad; please, it doesn't get approved)

    However, I've seen many ads promoting themusclemaximizer product on FB, they use links such as musclenow.weebly.com (just an example), etc.

    How can I promote through FB ads (if not through a FB fan page)?

    Thanks in advance for any help

    This what you need to do.
    First find a product that is very very good converting offer that is hot at the moment.
    Second you need to promote them to the right group, make you make the interest very specific.
    Another important thing is make sure that you do a high priced product so it widens your profit gap.
    For example I have a 997$ product I made and I promote it, sometimes I spend 300$ just to make 1 sales, but I still make 697 per sale.
    Also make sure to use a squeeze page first to collect the lead so you can keep selling to the.

      Thanks for the info, this surely is valuable.

      But how do I solve the FB ad problem?

    Thats what i do for FB ads. To get more clicks, get some high converting ppc copy and use Cpm. Which is cost per 1000 views. You can get like .10 for 1000 displays on your ad

      Yeah but my FB ads don't get approved; FB won't allow me to create ads pointing to that link (#2606 error where the ad preview normaly is is what I get when I try to create that ad; please, it doesn't get approved)

      Has anyone had that problem before?
