First Step to more freedom and more time with my Daughter! (13)

First Step to more freedom and more time with my Daughter!

Hi guys, this is my second post on STM. I decided to make a follow along, because it's going
to keep me motivated throughout the whole process.

I quick story about me.

I've been doing affiliate marketing with SEO for about 4 years, back and forth. I've had some
success with it, and it landed me a full time job in a Norwegian Digital Marketing Agency.

I'm also running 15 adwords accounts for medium business to some of Norways biggest brands.
So i'm not unfamilliar with PPC.

My motivation

A long story short, the mother of my child moved to Oslo, so I have my daughter full time for the next
few years. I want more freedom to spend with my daughter, more free time to take care of myself.

Why Facebook

I'm seeing lots of people doing very well with facebook, and I also plan on starting a few Pages in
some of my passion niches when the time is right.


I'l update this thread with my first campaign later today, and talk a little about my strategy and
first impression with Facebook.


Thanks!

Hey mate, why wouldn't you start with adwords since you have most experience with it?

@MR Green

I am, eventually. But i want to give facebook a try, because of the possibility of direct linking to offers.

Right now I amin the proccess of creating a new website for the Norwegian Market, and are probably going to implement Adwords when I get some traction in Search with it.

1 Day Update

I'm just not getting my ads approved.

I'm currently testing First Date offer from Peerfly, with a payout of 12$.

I'm using Prosper for tracking, and Their DMR cloaking function.

Also, I have an unlimited account on Facebook, my ads get Approved/dissaproved quite fast. Approx 2h.

I tested another Affiliate Network (Euroads), Without any redirection, and they got approved instantly.

Anyone had any experience with Peerfly offers on Facebook?

I think with dating you should go for Adsimilis, they have a ton of dating offer with a lot of country available.

Make sure to check your chosen offers on MyWOT before submitting them to Facebook - if the offer is yellow or red on MyWOT, FB will probably reject direct-linked ads.

Well, there you got it. Thank you for the information, my site was just RED across the board. Guess that explains it

Day 2

Back with another update.

My first run at dating was really painful. I spent two days trying to get my ads approved. When they eventually where approved, disapproved 1 hour later.

Like @Caurmen mentioned the website of the offer had really bad rating at WOT, and probably why i had a hard time with it.
I have signed up to BE2 Norway on one of my affiliate network, and are awaiting approval.

In the meantime......

I've started a Survey campaign instead, where the partisipant can win a wine tasting trip up to 30.000 NOK.

I just want to get the feel of how the facebook advertising platform works.

Campaign: Survey / Wine tasting Trip

This ad targets 62,000 people:
who live in Norway
exactly between the ages of 30 and 40 inclusive
who are female
who like ving norge as, reise, norwegian, sas, travel, rødvin or wine
Spend: 2.99$
Clicks: 7
Conversions: 0

I have lots of impressions, but not many clicks, so I am going to be a bit more creative with my angle and split test more images.

Currently I am running 1 campaign with 10 ads, 10 different pictures, same headline and body.
