Hey guys, literally, I spent $30.80 to make $1.22. I was targeting iPad email submits and here's the result!





I'm a douche!

  • Ouch. You should try article marketing. Just 1 article with a decent searched keyword can make you 1 conversion a day all from free traffic.
  • Email submits is not good to promote on facebook because of bids price. Try other offers with higher payout. And you should get higher ctr. 0.013% is very poor.
  • LOL at least you can admit it.
    Facebook was the wrong place to do this, you don't want to be paying more than .15 a click.

    • Yes, it's tough to promote email/zip submits on FB, because most of them are for the US and it's hard to get a low CPC for the US on this platform.

      Your only chance with this approach would be to get a pretty high CTR (at leats 10x higher than your current one) and then start decreasing the bid gradually, but I think that it still would be not possible to turn a positive ROI.

  • I have made some money with email and zip submit on facebook so it's possible but you should not let the ad runs like this when you know it's a looser....try to stay break even and try to optimize the ad by changing the headline and the image...or even change the offer...
  • Did you do this on Facebook? I've NEVER had any luck with there advertising
  • wow, that sucks man. I've had good results with facebook but I stay away from free ipad offers because the market is saturated with that
  • Burned money?

    Try betting $xxx on the LA Lakers against the worst team in the NBA, and watch the Lakers get blown out.
  • Any more advices for me please?

    • Warrior Mike Christon once said " There is no Winning or Losing. It is Winning and Learning ".

      So don't get frustrated. I've been there just like you. The best thing you can do is start learning from that experience.

      You sure can recover it. With the right strategy and mindset, you'll gain 100 times more.

    its a very sad news. but don't be worried. it happens. try other techniques like social book marking, Youtube, article marketing etc. these are also very much effective.
    thanks
  • Why not take your ad and change just one thing - not the entire ad. Then see if it pulls better. Then you change one other thing - see if it pulls. It can be the headline or even the color and that gives you a better idea if it's the ad or the product.

  • I feel sorry for you. I never spent any dime on advertising but I am making more than $1.22... lol
  • Spending $30.80 to make $1.22 such a crap idea. But don't lose hope bro. Start with new strategy. Try video marketing on youtube. It may return your burned invest through earning.
  • Try different ad variations.
  • Perfect example what paid traffic will do for you. Great investment!

    LOL

  • Unortunately this is what most people are faced with when they first start in CPA and try paid traffic sources without adequate training. Heck, even with adequate training this happens. There is risk involved, particularly in the paid space. There is tremendous upside potential, but the risk is there as well.

    It's part of the learning process. If you think of that "loss" as an investment, it should help. Remember this is a business. Businesses lose money at first, nearly always! Luckily online you can mitigate the risks tremendously, but remember that most offline businesses are already in the hole tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars before they even open up!!

    Wishing you much luck buddy. With hard work you can invert those numbers!!!!
