The Basics
We’re going to make money right now. I’m sick of you being poor, your sick of being poor, let’s make things better. Here’s what your going to need before we start up:
-
- Facebook account, if you don’t have one by now lets get on the bandwagon
- Copeac account (Verla is my AM, she’s a babe)
- Credit card or debit card
- Mailing address
- Domain name
- Hosting account
Once you have gathered up all your supplies lets get going:
- Make a folder on your desktop called “Dating Ad” - I believe it’s important to stay organized and if you can keep everything for ads in seperate folders, you will never have one of those “wait, where did I put that” moments again.
- Login to Copeac and find a dating ad offer, personally, I like True.com because it is pretty good for me on conversions, but definitely trial and error is how to play this game. Take the link and copy and paste it into a notepad file which you should place in your folder.
- Now find a picture of a decent - rediculously good looking girl. I used a picture of an ex, but you might want to try scanning your Facebook friends (kinda shady) or look through some free stock photos, now save it in your folder
- Now lets put together our landing page, start a new file in notepad/textedit and copy and paste the following in:
- Upload it to your hosting account and make sure your domain name is set to forward to the landing page we just made.
- After your new website/forwarding page works, login to Facebook and its time to start the fun… click on the bottom where it says Advertisers, now go through signing up and typing in information until you can create an ad.
- Think of a clever title, some text, and make sure you include somewhere in the description the name of the site your forwarding to. Mess around with keywords until you think you have a good demographic set.
- Facebook hates approving ads, I believe out of the 100-150 I have submitted only 4 have been approved, evar. I refuse to believe I am the one at fault here. However, after your approved set your CPC to .15 cents and play around with your bid until you start getting impressions. Now you are getting traffic to your redirect and life is good.
- Monitor your CTR and create new ads with minor tweaks and improvements to the copy (bb_wolfe). Now, just sit back, relax, and watch the money flow in through your Copeac stats page.

<title>TITLE OF OFFER</title>
<meta http-equiv=”refresh” content=”2;URL=AFFILIATE LINK GOES HERE”>
<script>
url=’AFFILIATE LINK GOES HERE AGAIN’;
if(document.images) { top.location.replace(url); }
else { top.location.href=url; }

Save that sucker as index.html and put it in our folder.

I left a lot of things out in the brief tutorial, especially proper tracking. Nickycakes is the one who turned me on to Facebook ads and he has written a lot of good articles about it. Check them out in order to learn more.
[...] to some tips from Nickycakes and here is my tutorial on how to do the same, written for n00bs Baldizzle.com
You really don’t need the redirect. Facebook approves my ads even if I just direct-link to the offer, and since the user can’t see the URL you’re just adding an extra step (even though it’s automatic).
If you want to track the traffic you might want that redirect.

I have recently started advertising on facebook. I have had some conversions. I feel that once I get the technique down of finding the right ads and the way to present them, then it should work out quite well.

Nice, and damn funny guide!

Put in my free coupon, they declined first ad, 2nd one was approved. Lots of impressions but no clicks yet. Just upped the cost per click and improved the pic to an animated gif. Here’s hoping….!!
