First FB Campaign

Update: Up to 0.17 cpc and still no impressions. I'm capping the campaign at 0.20 and even that's a big risk considering I'm working with a 1.30 email submit. My landing page conversion would be have to be around 15% to break even. I hope that once I get impressions I can lower the cpc and keep'em coming in.

Yeah no problem. I'm glad that this thread got the response it did. Thanks for sticking around :)
 
Update: I'm at the 0.20 cpc now. Still no clicks but I have a reach of 7 so I'm getting some impressions. Now, I just have to wait for the clicks. :) In the meantime, I may tweak my landing page for better conversions. Any suggestions?
 
Update: The 0.20 cpc seems to be the magic spot. I've gotten 13 clicks since I put the price at 0.20. No conversions, meaning my landing page needs work. I might try tweaking the page and then sending more traffic that way.
 
Update: So I actually did end up getting quite a few clicks at the 0.20 when the suggested was around 0.88 or something like that. CRAZY thing is while I was writing this post I checked Facebook and found that the suggested cpc had dropped to 0.52 so I dramatically dropped my bid to 0.10. Now let's see if the clicks keep rolling in. After my campaign ends I'd be willing to share my ad copy and landing page if you guys are interested. :)
 
thanks for the update.

so you think you'll make more money than you're spending? that's my main concern about trying this myself, although i'm probably going to use a voucher the first time.

With this campaign I honestly don't know. That's obviously the goal but everything has to be in order for a good campaign: bidding price, landing page, good converting offer, etc. Right now I have a decent bidding price and high converting offer but I know that my landing page sucks. Unfortunately, I'm not very good at visual elements. But we'll see. My landing page focuses more on interaction so hopefully that'll get me some conversions. Voucher is definitely the way to go for the first campaign. And honestly, I wouldn't use an email/zip submit. I'd try something safer like actual sales, which have a higher payout.
 
I've yet to try FB PPC. I'm glad that someone is sharing this start-up case study. I'm following your thread buddy :) All the best!
 
Update: I stopped the campaign while at about 0.12 cpc because although I was getting more clicks, I wasn't converting well. So, that campaign was both a success and a failure. I found a good spot for getting pretty cheap clicks, I just couldn't make them convert with my landing page. But that's fine, back to the drawing board. Anyway, since my campaign is over I'll reveal what I was doing. I set up a poll on my blog about whether or not Casey Anthony was innocent. When users voted they were redirected to my cpa offer. Here's the ad image

are you going to be trying again? did you convert any at all? how many clicks and how many conversions did you get? what i want to know, is how much did you have to spend???

thanks.

i still haven't started my campaign yet, but i will be in the next few days. waiting for some money to come through. i'm nervous about giving this a shot, but also excited! i haven't done it before.

Yeah I may try again with a different offer and landing page.
Stats:
Clicks: 94
CTR: 0.142%
Conversions: 1
Final CPC: 0.12
Spent: $12.29
This is coupled along with the stats listed above, so this is the campaign's total.
 
sounds good, am going to try this as well.

I'll be keeping an eye on it for your next campaign.

I am studying facebook ads recently and I'll be keeping an eye on it for your next campaign.
thanks ligntning***
 
my first run i think i went something like 0.50$ per click on a 1.20$ offer. i ran it at night and fell asleep. woke up to my first 4.80$. i was happy as hell, but then when i checked my fb, i spent like 43$ LOL. luckily i used a 50$ voucher, but it feels like i couldve used it better. i should have put a daily limit. now im reluctant to put some real money in. lol.

but thanks i learned a few new tips in here.
 
No problem, glad I could help.

LOL at ialready. It's a learning curve but definitely worth it if it can be mastered.

Wow that sucks. I would re-upload them but I deleted them. Sorry :o

Nope I haven't touched it since the last update. I would love to keep going but it takes some extra cash to test things out and I don't have that so.............
If I do make any more moves in regard to this method this thread will be the first to know :)
 
cool.

i have a voucher (i think it's valid, not sure) but still haven't started. i only started working on a landing page for it yesterday. too much other stuff going on at the moment.
