Yes, I know many people 'say' Facebook ads suck. Keep in mind though that's because many lack experience and are advertising crap offers and also don't write proffesional ads. This is why it's good to set small budgets and play with ad variations before going all out.
Let's think about things seriously...
Q: How does Facebook make money?
A: Ads
Q: Have you ever seen a lack of ads?
A: No.
What does this mean. It means they are working and working well for the people who use them 'properly'. Part of the reasons why my CTR was low in the above is because I was going for high impressions. I really didn't put any targeting on the ads in the screenshot above. If your like most people who use Face Book users you'll notice how relevant these ads are to you. That means that when you are driving the right ads to the right people you will make money.
The reason why you see so many complainers is where your looking. Your probably looking at blogs, forums, etc. Where excuse the term 'no-name' marketers are making complaints. Have you ever heard a Big agency complain. NO! or at least I have yet to. That's because they practice and know what their doing.
Now this does NOT mean you can't succede. Not one bit. In fact it means you have all the better ods If you put your mind to it. It's the little guys who are the innovators not the huge corporations who take 20 years to change.
Basically what I'm saying is ignore all the hype. It's like when those MLM guys tell you you can make your first million in month one??? You can it's just not likely. Spending $100 in FB ads and making a return isn't all that hard. Like I said above all you need to make your $15 back is ONE stinking sale... I'm not promising millions of course there's allways that potential down the line. I'm giving you a realistic trade.
Seriously you saw in the screen shot above... Over 500,000 impressions. Now if your telling me that you can't make one super easy sale with 1/2 a million people looking at your ad, well then........
Just think when it comes to Google adsense. Some people are spending what $0.30/click , $ 0.50 / click, I've seen over $10.00/click in some cases! (I'm serious!) Now even with the several hundred clicks I got your still getting a lot more bang for your buck than you would with just about any other ad program.
Even at a small price of $0.10/click your still getting more traffic then would from Google. In fact at $0.10/click your saving 5 bucks by using my codes and getting a lot more exposure to top things off.
well there's my notes. Hope this helps my fellow affiliate marketers wake up and take the game into their own hands.
As for the one fellow who didn't trust me. I understand how you feel and yours and others skepticism because of my low post count. I just hope that as I progress here in BHW maybe I'll make you feel more comfortable around me. We're all here to make a profit in one way or another so I have no intentions of ripping any body off. The more people who are happy with me means more reviews, and more sales for me... So it's to my advantage to be honest here and in business in general.
I believe there's a saying that goes like this:
1 happy customer means he tells 1 friend... 1 angry customer he tells 10 friends
Trust me, I'm happy growing by one happy client after another than losing 10x the business.
~ Hope I straitened things out.
and whether you decide to purchase or not, good luck to all, with your marketing ventures.
