Free money to help you get started.

[walaboom]

This is not one of those get rich quick stuff. It is just a way to help you get some extra cash to invest in your projects. Here we go...

1st of all, you will need the to have the following available.
1. Facebook account. If you don't have one, you can sign up at www.Facebook.com

2. Sign up with a CPA network if you dont have one already. NeverblueAD and Advaliant are highly suggested. Those two are one of the best ones. They do not use direct track for tracking (known to scrub leads) and their in house tracking system is accurate, reliable & it is realtime.

Once you got a facebook account and got accepted into advaliant or neverbluead

Add this facebook application to your facebook account.
http://apps.facebook.com/visabusiness

After you add the application, Visa Business Network will send you $100 credit for facebook advertising coupon code in email.

Take your coupon code and go down to the bottom of your facebook page, click on advertising -> manage my existing ads -> billing -> Funding source -> enter coupon codes and put your coupon codes in there.

That will give you $100 in credit.
I have three more coupon codes for $50 each, PM me and I'll shoot you the coupon codes. You can get a total of $250 in credit.

Now you have free credit in your account, let's make some $.

Go into your Neverblue or Advaliant account, pick an offer. Facebook is like a huge content network with almost no targetting and mostly college students, so pick your offer carefully. Dating works well, but it is HARD to get dating ads approved on the facebook network. I don't think they allow email/zip submit either, you need to put a twist to it, like using a poll and etc. Check out the ad board, look at what others are promoting and get an idea of what might be working.

Facebook allows redirect, I am not sure if they will approve the AD if you just use the affiliate link in the ad. I normally use a subdomain and use redirect to the offer.

Set up the link, put up the AD on facebook. Don't follow the facebook suggested price. it is way to high, start off around .40 or .45 cents. If you have good CTR, your click price will drop.

Like I said, this is not a get rich quick method, but you can use the free credit to test the offer and very likely make some cash to help you invest other projects.

Disclaimer - NeverblueAD & Advaliant links are my referral links. If you are to join the network, it'll be really appreciated if you sign up under me, but if you don't sign up under me, no hard feeling, you can still PM me for the coupon codes

[chazmilles]

So how much are you making?

[web_hunk]

That seems to be a good idea. And with free advertising offer, you have nothing to loose. Thanks for sharing!

Have you tracked the advertising traffic and do you have any idea how it has performed?

[chazmilles]

I just redeemed my coupon codes. $250 are now in my facebook advertising account!

Thanks!

May I ask which guideline I broke?

[blogspot]

You are not allowed to post a referral/affiliate link in posts.
Read the New Affiliate Posting Rules

[narutorocker]

Can i have the coupons please i am going to sign up

[walaboom]

Here is the new affiliate posting rules by shoemoney

========================================
The affiliate general section seems to have become overwhelmed with

"If you want to make x send me a pm"

If you have a announcement of a affiliate program just say it. No more pm me for more information.

1) This is a way people are getting around min post counts before posting urls.

2) Creating tons of "pm sent plz send info" post count inflating crap.

3) Lots of scams are going on in pms. If someone really has a good affiliate program they do not need to hide it in a PM

This new rule will probably be adjusted

=========================================


FAQ section stated

Don't spam the forum with things like:

* Affiliate links (they are allowed in signatures though)
=========================================

I am not spamming the forum w/ just affiliate links, and I even put a disclaimer that those are my affiliate links. Like it or not.

I guess I am not suppose to say "PM me for more coupon codes"
Whatever, here are the codes. Yall don't need to PM me anymore. They are $50 each

2JXY-WTFK-72Y0-VJ6Y
T5V6-1JKV-TNH9-2MRH
R1X5-0NH7-5FXW-5YEC

Asked those that PMed me, all I did was provide info in the PM.

Performance depending on the offer.
I tested some diet coaching stuff targeting female age 25 to 40. It did well, but the offer is no longer available.

I have also tried some tea offer and it made me some money.

You may not make a lot of money using the free coupons, but hey, they are free, also it'll get you some valuable data and you can build your campaign around those data you gathered.

[goldmon]

thanks walaboom...very useful info.will try it for sure.

[narutorocker]

Thank u! Got the pm very fast with the coupons

[dfourss]

Thanks for this information. I've been wanting to try advertising on Facebook and this gave me the opportunity

[Sem-Advance]

Advertising on social networks is not the best idea. Most people are not interested in advertisements, and it is also why Myspace and Facebook both had failures in the recommending services they offered.

In fact there is a glaring lack of large brand name advertisers on most social network sites for this very reason.

The advertisers found are usually Entertainment related such as Sony BMG Etc.

I went so far as to hone my ads to groups built around my products and sold absolutely nothing nor generated any traffic to my site worth mentioning.

I am not saying not to try this but be wary of a time waste is my advice......

[kush86]

Free money is free money. I will be using this to make me some money.

[Trioman]

Thanks a lot I've been trying to find ways or ideas to start advertising on facebook, hopefully this will give me a boost.
