But when I bid on CPC it just 2000 impressions and 4 clicks.

    Facebook is not a scam, but there is no point to advertise on that platform.

    Same goes with twitter.

    Most of the people there are not trying to buy anything, and the majority of people on Facebook are college students with no money.

      Agree, Facebook is not a scam.

      Facebook ads is not a scam either, but they could make you rich or poor based on your offer and conversion.

      This is wrong. It used to be a few years ago that Facebook was used mostly by college students.

      Today, Facebook is used by mainstream audiences around the world.

      I personally know people making bank with Facebook advertising. After all, you wouldn't spend $300k per month on Facebook advertising, if that advertising did not continue to pay for itself, would you?

      :rolleyes:

    Facebook ads work. I have posted ads that sold forex courses and it has been converted into clicks and thereafter attendance for our class.

    I get plenty of clicks and don't pay much for them. Facebook is NOT a scam. Just because something does not work for you does not mean it is a scam. Here is one of my most recent campaigns:



    Cheap clicks are possible... and lots of them. You need a good image that draws attention, a good headline and ad copy, but most importantly you need to target a small audience so you get a high CTR. This will reduce your costs. Once you CTR rises you can then bid on CPM (cost per 1000 impressions) rather than CPC (cost per click) and this will greatly reduce your click prices.

    I used Facebook ads and found I got better results sending the users to a fan page rather than an external website. I then used the fan page to send users to the externel website. But I guess it all depends on what you are trying to sell and which facebook users you target. For me it was pretty easy because it was a MMORPG gaming site

    I don't believe it is a scam, however, I do not believe the claims of it being a panacea for driving traffic to an offer...and, oh yes, forget those selling FB course's where the seller's headline reads "How I Made $50,000 This Month On Facebook Ads And You Can To If You Buy My Course." Bunch of crap. Good luck and just be patient.

    A lot of people are doing very well with Facebook ads. You will read about it any many threads on this forum. It isn't a scam, you just have to go about it the right way.

    it's not a scam but to sell on FB you need to keep the buyers inside of it. if you want to start making money you have to direct them to a fanpage with a opt in box in order to market to them, otherwise your just losing money unless your ad copy is a real eye catcher.
