    Can those who have had success share what you tried? Do you promote CPA offers? Clickbank Products? Something else? How often do you interact with your fans?

    I've seen some facebook pages that just post the same CPA offer every day around the same time. Then they delete that post and repost it the next day. I'm assuming it works because they have 100,000 plus fans and growing (and they keep posting the same offer) but I'm not a fan of CPA stuff.

    I've had some success with advertising sales for my own products but any clickbank stuff I promoted got maybe 2 sales at the most and the rest, none at all.

    I've also promoted some amazon.com offers and made a few dollars that way.

    Nothing very much though. Just enough to cover the costs of building the 160,000 fans through FB advertising. Looking for ideas to earn more there. They seem to hate ebooks so I'm moving to more physical product promotions.

      Facebook is more effective to use as a relationship builder rather than a place to promote products. People log into Facebook to socialize, not to make purchases like they do on other sites.

      Some people even use FB as their only customer service. The reason being that you have to like their page before you can post on their wall.

        Correct. I myself using facebook for almost two years now but I don't see it a great place to promote my product.

    You are going to get a lot of different opinions. I have never used it, and I have done just fine over the years. I think it really depends on your product/website.

    Facebook is not a good place to promote product.

    Unless if the niche is facebook related, it can sell.

    CPA also works well with facebook.

    For facebook you need to create different accounts based on the Niche you are promoting and then add friends to your list based on their interest. You can do a search on a certain topic and it will show all the people who added that topic to their like list. Once you have a list of 100+ friends start to promote and comment on their pages. Adding notes/photos/events and tagging your friends in them make your post show up on their profile page so if they have a lot of friends they will see what you're promoting as well. That's the beauty of it becoming viral. It's better if you have a main website to direct people to with all of your affiliate links, so it won't get flagged as spam.
    I hope that helps!

      VEry hard to promote in FB.
      The model of the site is based on Freeloaders. They are not potential buyers. They are not ready to buy.
      Yes, from time to time you will get sales, in general, bad conversion.

    It is pretty difficult to try and sell real products to others on facebook the reason being is because people wouldnt mind doing something like a CPA offer as appose to putting in their credit card and trying to sort through pages to get their product.

    I think that building a site and then promoting and doing SEo on it or even PPC would be in your best interest!

    I dont use facebook page to promote anything, I just post links or status updates on valuable info. The point of doing all this is so they can optin my squeeze page when they reach my fanpage. I do all my promotion through email followups.

    Set up a "fan page" get people to 'like' it. (use those words in your facebook ads... "Visit our page and Like Us to get (insert an incentive here)". Now any post you make on that fan page is instantly delivered to their wall. This is list building at its easiest. If you have a reason to be 'liked' and good stuff to send to their walls you will make sales/get traffic.
