Is it just me who is taking so long to learn or is it normal?
Hey Guys,
Much confused about what to do next...It's becoming hectic to run Facebook ads(I mean sustaining the accounts). I have literally got 4-5 accounts banned in last 6 months. I guess this is maybe because of the offers that I am running, it's Health and Beauty CPA offers. I am working with 2nd and 3rd tier geos so that I can limit my expenses but here all the offers I have seen till now is CPA offers, E-com and Sweeps. Starting with each one: With CPA offers the flow is difficult for me because the leads actually converts after days(when user pickups a call and finally says yes to order) and I remember that once in my thread @vortex suggested to go with any simple flow where I can get instant lead results but in these geos it's difficult to get them. Also the next issue is I am mainly getting health offers only. So I really want suggestions of networks and offers especially with simple flow. Next is E-com, so here being a newbie I think this is difficult for me because no one is scrolling Facebook getting credit cards in their hands and definitely there are 7 touch points before any user buys online. Sweeps, so the payout is way low in respect to the expense of Facebook.
Once I thought of switching to pop and push because there I can make it work with less expenses and the offer issue will not be there. But then I feel that I have reached to this point and I should not leave it. Should I test tier 1 offers? Like do you guys recommend a newbie to compete with big guys there? Because I think there only I can get CPL offers.
Talking about my loss, I have made $1k loss from the start and I feel like drowning in it, I felt that when I'll scale I can get a bit out of it but no while scaling also that increased. I am not sure what I can do, the more I am testing the more I am losing. I know I am learning I am getting experience but is it just me who is taking so long to learn or is it normal? I know and m quite sure that I'll make it work but let's see when. I've left no option for me rather than AM, it's like do or die for me.
(Some offer and network suggestions are always welcomed!!)
Hi isha_18,
I've got an offer in the health & wellness space that may work with some of your Facebook traffic. Unlike the typical health and beauty offers for weight loss, reduced wrinkles, or tighter abs, the Personalabs offer is for actual medical procedures, namely blood tests and doctor's advice / prescriptions. It's not flashy but at least you're not having to deal with unsubstantiated or unprovable claims, which can get you banned by Facebook. It only works with US based users, but the sale is simple and straightforward... if the user needs the medical test / help, they'll pay for it within moments of hitting the landing page.
The offer is over at cj.com. The advertiser name is Personalabs. The default commission is 10% but I'll set you, and any other STMforum member, up at 15%. Just message me with your CJ username or CID.
you can look into hiring an employee or team up with like minded partner...with whom you cud work.
At AW Dubai, make sure you ask all your doubts to Facebook ads expert there.

It took me years to "master" FB, but I had to teach it myself without a forum or direct help, just focus!
I had some "students" who barely had any experience at start but made their first stable profits in weeks/months. But I also had some students who couldnt cope with it at all and ended up doing other verticals/traffic sources.

If you have a registered business/brand (and you follow their guidelines) your chances of getting banned is less and getting back your account if banned is way higher. In the earlier days of Facebook advertising say 2012 till maybe 2017/2018 it was pretty trendy to run Facebook ads on "trendy" products to make a "chunk of change" with cheap clicks and high quality traffic. Then forget all about it. Still a great way to get started and make some money. But it's pretty tough to do that with Facebook these days. Having said that Facebook is one of the best ways to scale (perhaps the best). But may not be right for your current purposes... If you have a huge customer base Facebook ads is also great to get you quality leads and expanding your customer base. By the way if you get banned on Facebook once they will chase you to Antarctica and ban you again and again and blacklist you for circumventing their systems.
Disclaimer (again): correct me if I am wrong
Also, there are many private groups in Facebook that discuss about FB ads strategies...i wud suggest you to join those groups and discuss ideas with like minded people.

First of all, do not get too moody, you should always TEST TEST TEST ! til you will find the best results.
This is my friend the "big secret"

I would definitely suggest you continuing what you have been doing, try to test a bit more, but maybe with a lower budget to get best results and insights as you can, as eventually you'll find a method that works perfectly for you. Also, it's good that you posted a thread here, connect with more people, join FB groups especially as there you'll probably find the most accurate answers to your questions that could improve your business tactics.
