AD NETWORKS

Hello fellow warriors,

I recently started my CPA journey having taken the switch from selling digital products to now selling CPA. It is what my new focus is on. I have been encouraged by this forum, especially this section of the forum to give CPA a go.

Now I'm having a problem.

I decided to focus on the dating niche as that is where my IM experience has been. I heard the best platform to promote dating CPA offers is facebook. Since you can get very targeted, target people on demographics and interests. It makes sense.

So I have been giving facebook a go.

However, I have had problems.

Firstly, I had a problem getting my ads approved but once I understood the process it is become very easy and now all my ads get approved. I have up to 40 ads in one campaign.

However, the problem is no longer getting the ads there. The problem is getting the CLICKS!!!!!!

I so far had two campaigns with each around 3,000-4,0000 impressions and ZERO clicks.

I have no idea how you can make money if u don't get the clicks.

I am sure i am doing something wrong. Any advice on how to get the clicks and using facebook in general for CPA is much appreciated.

Also is there any resource one can recommend on this issue?

Cheers,

Mark

Your ads suck, that's why nobody clicks, make them interesting and standing out.

  I'm not sure my ad sucks is the reason. I been looking around at works and what converts. I'm familiar with the niche.
  
  Also my ad is going out to a very targeted auidence, that includes demographics, location and interests.
  
  Any other ideas please?
  
  Thanks

you'd need a whole lot more impressions than that before you decide whether your ad lives.
ctr on fb is usually a lot lower than other ppv/social traffic ... just create more ads and see if clicks/conversions start to come in

There is no other ideas, your ads are not interested to your audience, there is a clear reason why I am right - no clicks. So no matter what your assumptions are you are wrong, you need to recreate them

  Wow... I do a few million impressions per day. So yes, there is something to Facebook.Try to be UNIQUE and bend the rules of their accepted adcopy. If you aren't getting 100's of ads rejected you aren't trying hard enough
  
  Thanks

Are you sure you're aiming at the RIGHT target?

There are only so many variables involved -- the ad, the product/niche, the landing page, the demographic targeting, and the timing.

Test until you find the weak links in your campaign -- then fix them.

As you said, getting the ads approved is easy most of the times (there can be some campaigns that are a bit more tricky). The hardest thing on FB, in my opinion, is get a good CTR and keep the campaigns running for more than just a few weeks.

It's pretty easy to get ads approved, find offers and get conversions. So if you learn how to create ads to please the user, not only FB, you can create a bunch of short-term campaigns there without too much effort.

Use the interests wisely, understand what people want, divide your audinece in small groups, create many ads, rotate several images, and keep improving your ads until you learn how to reach a CTR above 0.1%. It is 100% possible with practically any vertical, you just need to find out what's the element that actually make people take action, click on your ad and complete the offer.

Just don't give up! IMO, FB is the easiest place to make some quick bucks. Any other platform will be more complex, so keep testing and don't give up before finding what you neeed!

Just by reading, I think I see the major problem, there appears to be a lack of vision and strategy. I think you should read up a little more on Facebook ads and develop a strategy to use, then keep trying it.

I'm wondering whether collecting e-mails would in fact be helpful when promoting CPA offers via facebook?

I agree with krankxl

Try a bit of a softer approach with a optin page. You of course will need to offer a bribe to collect the name and email address. Once you have the subscription set to work building a relationship, then try and sell struff.

This strategy take significant more work, but in the long run will payoff.

  Thanks interesting. What do you mean you have 5000 likes? Does that mean 5000 people like your ad or your fan page or your group?
  
  Thanks
