Just give me some motivation. I have spent 2000$ and still struggling to get that back. I bought some Facebook training courses too.

I have even created 3 fanpages with 200k fans, but to monetize them its more like spamming.
Luckily i got those fans with 0,01 cpc, but that was 2 months ago, its quite hard to do it now..Facebook always changing.

I have tried all kinds of CPA offers. I have made some money back with my fan pages now about 500$, but still cant find solid offers with good ROI.

I did one Dating offer today and i spent 70$ and made back 63$ so its not going anywhere, but i had CRT 0,16% but just cpc was 0,49%

Please give me some motivation that you really are making money with FB payd ads and CPA...

    Dating was one of the best for me on facebook especially targeted toward Australia...

    use some cool images man to get your CTR high ...also were you direct linking?

    Use a landing page with "call to action" and three main points...for dating ads I've achieved a 0.01 CPC!...so you can actually scale it up as well...though achieving that CPC meant, me burning some hard earned cash

    nevertheless it all worked out in the end...also what cpa network are you with? to me EWA is the best for dating offers

    yep i have done only direct linking. I thought that the landing page makes things too difficulty to users and they just click X. But how do you get dating ads approved on Facebook? Because they just randomly disapprove some ads.

    I work with mundomedia at the moment. Im in Peerfly, WolfStorm, Qwikmedia also.
    What is your conversion rate on dating offers usually?

    HELLO?!!?!? You spent $70 made $63 back and think this campaign is going nowhere?? you're willing to give up on it??

    Let me tell you just by the figures this campaign has huge potential, are you testing?? Image, text, headline, you need to play around with these variations until your campaign flies out of the red and into the green, constantly tweak and adapt to increase your CTR and overall conversions.

    Now I know FB ad prices have increased considerably but that is why it is important to really target your ads, if you're focusing on putting up a dating ad targeting all males in a certain country/city from the ages 25-40 then not only are you doing what everyone else is doing but you're also targeting too large a demographic.
    With initial tests on FB ads I like to go really niche, my ads will generally only be served to an audience of 100,000. Anymore than that is just overkill and potentially throwing money away.

    This is actually a very good start. If you spent $70 and made 0 conversions then THAT would be going nowhere.

    Making back that amount on your first try says that this might have pretty big potential.

      Not the first but yea..

      On this ad i did about 15 different images and copys, facebook disapproved 13 of them so i had 2 working left.
      And my target was single males 25 to 44
      and i targeted only who has POF, match.com etc on their interest. So about 220000 people.

      I can make good images and copys, but i cant figure out the bidding system. Its like constantly changing.
      When i want to get on a good positon i raise the bid and daily budget right?

    Try promoting other peoples CPA offers and charge them a base rate

    You have 200k fans you should definitely do some testing and find a way to take advantage of this. I usually do giveaways for their email addresses

    Get out of the "one night stand" mindset and think of those fan pages as more of a marriage. If you've got 200k fans, you've got a huge audience. Don't spam them with stupid offers that will only piss them off but try some CPS stuff from Amazon too.

    When recommending physical products, as if anyone has tried it and post a link to it. Don't sell to them, talk to them.

    Your fanpage is a long term asset. Get them on a list for emailing and build out a whole community off FB for it if it's big enough. Then you can flip that site if you want fast cast.

    Affiliates never seem to think past the moment they're in. They want a campaign that produces instant results or it stinks, (in their minds). Don't fall into that mindset, it's a different world with FB.

    But do you always use landing pages when you do ads on FB? Like on mobile pin offers and email submits? Or just for dating offers?

    Many people have had success, instead of using a fan page, go straight from the facebook ad to either a landing page or to the offer

    Agreed, if your fanpages aren't working, then try your own landing page.

    If that's not working, then have a look at your offer and rotate through a couple of them in the same niche to find one that works.

    I recently did an offer for jackets, but it's summertime. That doesn't work. BUT it will work in the winter when people actually wear them.
