Can you really earn money with Facebook ads?

    I have heard of people making money through FB ads. In other words, putting up Affiliate links in Facebook ads. I already know about FB TOS on ads. Assuming those are followed, is the click rate really worth spending $$ on FB ads? It seems that ad costs could add up quick!!

    What about Plenty of Fish? Seems to be an underused market. Anyone have good or bad experiences with either?

    I mean ads... lol It seems like FB can get oversaturated. Although both of these sites can get expensive. Does anyone use FB or other social media ad successfully for affiliate marketing? Just looking for a different way to advertise affiliates without being pushy or creating lists....

    I several campaigns on Facebook, looks like CTR is the most important factor. All started at around 50 cents a click, depending on the CTR this price then slowly moved down to about 10 cent which is pretty nice...but conversions weren't really good, about 5-10% ROI after cost.

    It depends alot on what you are advertising, make sure to use the geotargetting and demographics features to narrow down your audience, everything below 1% CTR (Alot harder to get than with Adwords for example) gets very expensive.

    I actually just finished watching this video but it should be a great help for anyone wanting to get started with facebook ads:
    http://www.shoemoney.com/facebook-advertising-soup-to-nuts-guide/

    Biggest lessons to be learned:
    Most important part of the ad is the image.
    Pictures of women typically do best.
    Start with CPC since ad could get zero clicks, then switch to CPM bidding once you know it's doing well. CPM is typically slightly cheaper.

    Though you can make some money but there isn't much scope of earning, it's useless.
