UPDATE:The chat issues with LeapViral have been resolved and my account manager has notified me that everyone's December earnings have been finalized regardless of whether or not they made $500 yet in January.
Here are my proofs.
1) Facebook ad spending for the lifetime of my campaign (December 26 to January 4).
2) Total earnings from my LeapViral account ($666.94 is my December earnings, and $553.99 is my earnings so far in January):
3) PayPal payment from LeapViral just a few minutes ago for $671.20 (my $666.94 December earnings plus some bonus):
Total earnings so far are ~$1220, and total spend so far is $363.92. ROI is really nice on this one if you know what you are doing. When I first started it I followed OP's instructions
exactly and I lost about $100 but I have quite a bit of experience tweaking facebook ads since I started doing it for my apps several months ago and I was able to turn my performance around and make this profitable. I don't think OP's instructions are wrong, they might just not work for everybody. You can see from the FB picture above my cpc is on average $0.02 since December 26, but when I first started it was about $0.07 cpc and you will not make any money that way. Since my optimizations my cpc has gone down now to $0.01. If you can't make your cpc go below $0.05, this will definitely not be profitable for you.
Sidenote: quite a few people have PM'd me asking me for the secret to getting really low cpc on FB. Please stop PMing me for this, we're not here to spoonfeed each other. I may consider offering paid services to optimize other people's campaigns, but I'm hesitant because the naysayers will come out and say my entire post is fake and I'm just promoting services...
Besides that, I don't know how quickly this could become saturated. I believe only a few people will be able to actually make money off of this
Anyway, thanks OP for your wonderful tutorial, it works great
