Rabs To Riches

Flunking with Facebook Flyers (and Ads)

Since I have an actual goal for November, along with the long term projects I’m working on, I figured I should try to concurrently work on things that will possibly help me reach my goal in the short term as well. I got a WSO on Facebook Flyers last week and I thought I’d try my hands on it this past weekend.

I guess I got on this bandwagon kind of late and Facebook had already put fairly strict measures on affiliate links (etc) and squeeze pages. That was basically what I would have been trying to do for the short term. I put out about 3 ads and all of them got disabled pretty quickly.

Most of what I’ve read from the other forums and feedback from other blogs seems to indicate the same thing. The ads that are showing have really bad CTRs. I think it might be that the Facebook crowd is not there to respond to ads. I mean, I joined Facebook because all my friends were on there - to connect with them, write on walls, etc. I feel the majority of the Facebook crowd is such.

Anyway, it cost me Friday night, but at least I tried it. So I don’t feel too bad. But yeah, the WSO was pretty bad considering that this guy charged $57 for it (yeah I know I’m a total sucker).  However, he did make me aware of the opportunity, and I’m horrible with refunds, so live and learn.

Anyway, off to continue on to longer term opportunities and use what I know to reach my short term goal as well.
