"Clients" for new agency account? (19)

"Clients" for new agency account?

I just bluffed my way in to getting a agency account setup by FB next week.
Now the only think the rep is asking me for to mail him over my 4-5 clients that i want to get setup in the system..

As you might know i dont have local clients atm and i run my biz based on aff offers..

So can i just send the rep 4 "SAFE" and unnown aff offers over to run?
I could mask the aff links by using php for example?

Hope you guys can give me some advice on this.
Since its my first time working with a agency account..

This is the mail i got:

------------------------------------
Thank you for the conversation yesterday. I just want to remind you to send me an email with the 4 or 5 clients you have who could go on the program. In the email I would like to have:
- your clients company names,
- fb pages
- their goal with the campaign
- and their budget
- the start date for the campaign
If you can send it to me before tomorrow at 4pm. Then I have time to put it in my system.
---------------------------------

Any tips on what to send the guy to keep it safe and not bleed money by using fake clients?

Just make up 4 local biz clients. Tell her you dont have fan pages for any of those clients yet because they are being developed. Say you will spend 100k on each account. and start date is ASAP.

Nice Job, but getting accounts via the agency method is probably the most frustrating one. They've adjusted things over the summer where they will only start you out with a $1,000 limit on each account and then after proving yourself they would start increasing your limits. I recommend that you do a good job in setting up the clients because they do call the clients up. Make sure to also have different server IPs and nameservers for each client, they look at that too.

Lastly, good luck.

Thanks for the replys guys! although the opinnions are miles apart..

Darkforces = fuck them and just make something up..
Mgrunin= be very carefull and set it up in detail..

Its getting me even more confused then i already was.. :P

Any more opinions and experiences?

I have no experience with doing facebook on this level so this is probably a dog shit idea but.... could you set up a local ad saying that you are looking to take on x new clients for your ad agency portfolio with the incentive that you will fund their first $100 toward an ad campaign (call it a christmas offer or something). Just explain to your clients that you need their details on your system but theres no guarantee that they will qualify for your offer. Maybe they are in a queue or something. They can then be contacted by facebook. I dunno whether this would complicate things further down the line or not. Just could be a way of getting 'clients'.

If you don't want to lose the account you contacted them through then the clean/safe approach is better. If you play the fuck-it approach then the accounts probably won't last long. What purpose do they server anyway? To sell? To run other campaigns on?

Not sure if it would work, but you could always tell them you're a lead generation company and you're not directing traffic to fan pages etc. but directly generating leads for your clients (aff offers).

Good luck

^^^ GREAT advice.

11-24-2012 12:04 PM #9 peterb ()

Gave it some thought and will go with the method doryphoros suggested.. Thanks

I need the accounts to run some cpa offers on so why not start it direct using this method..
Ill report back with my findings after tuesday.

Let's say you are simply using 2 different FB accounts on separate boxes.

Do you mean you need unique IPs for each domain you link out to in your ads per account? In other words, you have 2 accounts, each outgoing URL being sent to a php redirect/cloaking script. And account #1 goes to outgoing-url-1.com and account #2 goes to outgoing-url-2.com.

So you're saying that to prevent FB from linking your accounts, each of those domains needs to be on a unique IP on your server? What if you just change the nameserver of each domain but they still use the same IP? Will the footprints still link the accounts?

They should be on a different IP even if the nameservers change. If you run trials -diet/skin/teeth/biz opp they do have a dedicated team that will manually attempt to connect accounts. They go as far as connecting the server's IP and nameservers.

Hey Peter if you are planning to run cpa offers Agency accounts over all is the wrong way to go about it, for starters the reps are more a pain in the ass than helpful, and more importantly it makes running non-highrisk cpa offers scrutinized ever more.

Hey partner.

Thanks for your reply.
Dont get me wrong, im not going to rape these accounts be cloaking rebills on them.
I am going to run local clean leadgen and cpa offers on it.
So when i get the accounts up im sure fb would be fine with what im running
