Any of you guys cultivate your accounts up to $2k-$5k limits legitimately? I am wondering what are the offers to run that don't flag you as an affliate and preferably break even or close to break even?
I understand if you don't want to post on the board so would appreciate PMs if you can help out.
I am not looking to sell accounts so wont step on anyones toes, just want to try to cultivate some of my own.
May Be Dating Apps as Such....or keep searching for good ads, in the process may be if you find any break even or near profit ad, keep that in mind and you can use it for hitting daily limit...or may be keep your positive ROI ads running until you reach your desired limits...
What are you going to do once you get a 5k account? Lose it right away because you'll run the stuff you're actually profitable on? I assume that's your plan as you want "some" accounts, not "one". With the going rate at above-face-value for high-spend accounts, I can see why you would want to chase your own.
From 1k to 2k/5k: done via request form. Any and all affiliates will have slim chances here as they scrutinise your account status, campaigns etc. very heavily, and they ask themselves what risk are they taking with giving you potential to piss off 100s of thousands of people if you decide to just fuck Facebook one day. As a dating/weightloss affiliate, you have a near-zero chance to move past the 1k mark, unless you are working on behalf of the advertised company legitimately. If you are masquerading as an agency, Facebook can and will request client details (phone numbers) to verify with them that you are running ads on their behalf. Dating/weightloss/skin are the most reported ads.
Run gaming or similar, don't piss anyone off, request bump to 5k after you've spent 1k once or twice (they might give you 2k, if you ask for 2k they will give you 1.5k), then run what you want and prepare another account asap. Save the campaigns that allowed you to generate that high-spend account at break-even or better, and do it again for another account.
Have a look at all the Finch Premium Posts for great gaming advice, and the STM gaming follow-alongs (many of them are terrible and end abruptly after a few updates, but still you can pick up some good stuff).
and how about 250$ increase to 500$, same process? I haven't dared to reach my 250 limits. You had success bumping 250 accounts?
"Facebook"
"legitimately"
hahahaha. Facebook doesn't like affiliates. Anything you do won't be considered legitimate in their books.
That's why I want to find a way that isn't considered "affiliate" in their eyes, hence this thread 
Create multiple accounts and have each of them run a different offer. You can see which gets bumps, and which actually breaks even / profits from.
facebook is dead
Run daily deals
Gaming is your best bet.
Here's my tip. Since I recently got a bump to $250.
Run your own offer 
It's not that hard 
I have gotten "suspended" 3 times, because of credit
card/paypal payment method changes... but I am a legit
advertiser so I just contacted them and got it unsuspended.
Cheers
When you say run your own offer what do you mean? A fan page or something that doesn't make money? Or are you talking about running your own actual offer that makes money?
If the second then are you profiting with it or just breaking even?
I'm honestly no expert as I've only been running this for about 2 weeks...
@gettinpie - Great tips!
I'd love to see a Follow-Along from someone running, developing and improving your own offer! (I'd do one myself but I don't have time for a new project right now.) It's a damn good idea, particularly with Facebook as twitchy as it is these days.
Yeah I could possibly do one, though I would probably do it in a separate industry from
the one I am currently in, seeing as how it's a unique opportunity.
