How I made my first affiliate sale (Clickbank) $25.02 using FB Ads (7 Steps)
(Attention: This post is only suitable for newbies.)
Hi.
In this thread I'm going to do my best to help those who are still blur on making your first affiliate sale, using the combination of Facebook Ads and Clickbank.
Here are the offer details:
Product: Survival Business Cards.
Traffic source: Facebook Ads.
Budget: RM100 (USD25)
Target: US + All survival interest I can possibly find.
Landers: Yes, you can click here - http://survivalcards.pagedemo.co/
Timeline: Around 7 days.
My FB Ads cost (Around USD17).

My CB sale: USD25.02

Your first sale is important. Especially if you are new in this AM industry.
Now lets get into detais. How I make this campaign:
1) Focus on 1 niche.
2) Focus on 1 offer within that niche.
3) Understand the vendor's landing page so that you can understand what angle and traffic source you should use.
4) Use your own landing pages.
5) Create 1 campaign (Click to website), create 1 adset and create minimum 2 ads (test different image and headlines).
6) Run your campaign based on your own budget. Eg: In my case $7 per day.
7) Scaling up is another story. But I really hope that this post will help you to kick start your first profitable affiliate campaign.
How do you find this post? Is it useful?
If yes, I would love to share more tactical stuff in STM.
Sidenote: Why I'm willing to share my landers? Because it is just one of my landers that work. I already have 2 to 4 landers that brings me money. Feel free to go through my landing page, learn from it, and if you want to experience the flow, you can buy the survival cards to (Nah, its a joke. But I'm cool if you really want to do it).
Again, my landing pages: http://survivalcards.pagedemo.co/

I just believe that "The more you give, the more you will get."
It happens like magic.

Is it rebill offer like nutra? The cost for user is $4.95 and only for shipping, product is free. How does Clickbank pay you $25?
They bill the card later?

Its in the upsell. When they buy the first product, the vendor immediately upsell another product. Thats why.
You can experience it. Hehe.

Great post Helonative!
Question:
Why did you add a pre-sell lander instead of direct linking?
Cheers!

Thanks for your post, the first income is allways great.
Do know that this one sale doesnt say anything about your campaign. There is far too little data to tell you or this campaign will do anything in the future. This one sale could be a fluke.
I would advise to run bigger campaigns, where you can spend more in a day, its the same amount of work but the potential rewards are much greater.

Very interested in this. Been struggling to understand it when your own landing page is not doing anything else other that direct link to the offer. I like it if you were linking to other offers, collecting emails... this way seems like you are giving the users more chances of running away!

So I can control my outcome. Landing pages is freaking important.
I have created a free video to explain this. You can go here:

The most important thing is: I can retarget the visitors who visit my landing pages.

If that's the only reason, couldn't you just retarget holding tracking data on an extra redirect when direct-linking?

Its not the only reason. An LP is to presell, give the users the best things of the offer, you pre-qualify them to make the conversion rate better.
Of course you can test direct linking, but usually a LP allways works better

This is true... but in that precise case I would bet it's wrong... the Offer LP is Survival Life, which is Ryan Deiss "playground" and has probably been through 157 rounds of optimization (unless Ryan Deiss isn't involved in this project anymore, not sure).
Always worth testing anyway, but
sometimes you need to do a bit of research as to who is the actual offer owner... some don't know at all what they're doing... whereas some know probably a lot better than you what they're doing ;-) Some Clickbank product owners are real marketing killers.

that is true, but without an LP, there is nothing that makes you different from all the other people sending traffic there.
See it like a car dealer's showroom, its well optimized, but there are still salesguys to sell you a car

Great post! To my opinion following steps is great to set yourself goals as well.
Just worked out similar steps. Only I would create multiple angles.
How is your campaign going now?
PS. Very cool that you actually added your lander!
