Can a free traffic campaign be scaled up to $500 a day? (10)

Can a free traffic campaign be scaled up to $500 a day?

Background

This question has been going in my mind for quite some time now. I have been running some CPA offers using free Facebook(fanpage) traffic and some Youtube traffic. The earnings are good enough to give it a decent shot. I even had a $700 day.
So, can this be done?

The Offer:

Me and my friends own quite a number of Facebook fanpages in the category music, especially about the band "One Direction". So, we will promote One Direction ringtones. The number of likes on our pages are pretty high. By high, I mean upwards of 1.5 million total. So I plan to send at least 1k US hops per day as most of the traffic is US. The income coming from rest of the countries would be considered as bonus.
Since the offer pays around $10 per lead, a conversion rate of 5% with 1k hops per day would fetch me 500 per day, that's the target for now.

Steps Already Taken:
I have made some landing pages. There are just two themes, one good and one relatively ugly. Here are some screenshots:
First Lander (Has variations with different background pics):



Second Lander :



My Hurdles:
I am a complete beginner at tracking, trying to learn real fast. Would be a real help to get help from here!
Moreover, I would love to here some decent "angles" to use on my FB Fanpage posts. Keep in mind that the users are mainly teen less than 18 years of age!

Next Steps:
To set up tracking properly and do my first post. Test different Landing Pages and keep on scaling the campaign.


I will keep updating this thread. Any suggestions already?

P.S. Does anyone know any network with the "Dada - US" ringtone offer? It was converting pretty well but Ringtone Partner paused it.

Good luck mate. Just keep an eye on the comments, this will get a few of your pages banned quite quickly.
Will help your overall CR adding a question beforehand so the user feels like they've won the ringtone.

Most teenage girls are in love with at least one of the band members, so an angle like..
Who's the hottest in 1d? Then what's XXX's favorite 1d song? Then would you like XXX to send you xxx as a ringtone?

How you currently doing CTR/CR wise after the user clicks on a ringtone?

Really? I have been doing it for over a month now. And did the same thing for 6 months in a more risky angle. I take care that the link looks natural with the FB post and blends in well. Or maybe I was plain lucky, who knows. But I don't think I will get banned untill and unless I start spamming.
And yes, I have tried the "Win A ringtone" angle before. But the thing is, by now, all the fans know its a paid thing. So I don think it would work anymore.

Updating this thread after a long time. After DADA pulled their US web ringtone offer off, I ran from pillar to post trying to find a way top monetize the traffic.

Doing coreg now.

I have put the Silver Path live and can already see some conversions. Next step would be to add more landing pages and start tracking everything. Any suggestions guys?

My first day with coreg:

Number of hops sent : 2545
RPU: $0.12
Money Made: $308.04

The RPU is very low. Probably because I have not set up exit pop-ups and my coreg path isn't optimized yet. Talking to my Silver Path AM regarding that.

I think I need to improve my coreg funnel too.

Here is my LP:

Would appreciate criticism about my LP/funnel.

That lander is sick! I would add some social justice to it though. Maybe a facepile div since you're using fan pages?

Good idea, but I am using multiple fanpages with a total of 1.3 million odd fans. Would get a bit difficult. Why dont I just add a step and make them SHARE this?
