Yep,
Facebook sent out an email to advertisers today stating that you can enter in a contest to get $10,000.00 in free fb ad credits. WTF?! That's freaking awesome. They are giving the ad credits to the top 10 people whom have FB Fan Pages that gain the most "likes" within a certain period of time.
Here is a screeny of the email I got.

Ok - so, looks like almost anyone with a brain can get at least $150 in free ad credits for applying.
The catch here seems to be that you have to have a fb fanpage that already has 50 "likes" on it that was created from the "Local Business Page Creation Flow" BEFORE YOUR APPLY. So make your your setup right before you apply and screw up.
Here is the page for the contest: https://www.facebook.com/marketing?s...08227685926043

Here is a link to that page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php
From what i've read, one should assume that you must create a page for a "local business" and not company, pub figure, etc.

This seems like a pretty easy contest to win (getting a ton of likes is purchasable).
I'm assuming that FB is tracking to make sure that you are getting real "likes" and they are all from the US. There are a bunch of services out there that sell these said "likes". They charge more for targeted likes and a lot of them don't deliver.
I actually know a guy that sells likes and i've used him a lot for past pages i've created for businesses. They are legit and he charges per 1,000 likes. Prices vary depending on if you buy a few or bulk. Usually delivers likes in around 3 days (so it doesn't look super fake). But, they are all real people, no pw is required nor is admin access required.
Those of you wanting to participate in this and buy likes, just look online for these services via google "buy fb likes" -- or you can hit me up and I'll connect you with my friend that delivers as well.
It makes sense to at least try and get the $50 ad credit for entering contest with a page that already has 50 likes. Then get just 100 more likes and get another $100 ad credit.
PS. This is all just now being brainstormed by myself. You may want to further read the details via the apply link and so on.
PPS. If you do this Thank me ... I feel like an impostor with only a few thanks =(
This will be a hard hard contest! Well the $10k atleast. Prob more worth your time actually hustling ads.
The $150 is an easy grab though!
Good stuff, guess I'll be looking for someone that will sell me 50 likes now and then 100 before April 1. ROI should work out alright
Thank you sir! +rep, lol
I won't enter the contest.
Why attract unwanted attention to your account for $10k?
You know they HATE affiliates right?
Sure win with this script
