Facebook Future ? Long Term Business?

[LS430]

I have had seen couple of good "WSO" on Facebook CPA marketing. I know that it has a great traffic, as it's one of the most visited sites in the world and we can have laser targeted users.

My main question is, Is it for a long term? Does it works like other traffic networks like 7serach, Traffic Vance, Lead Impact?

I mean how long can we monetize traffic from facebook? Can somebody gives me tips on facebook CPA marketing.

How many landing page should i test for one offer?
How many Ad Images should i use to test?
How much budget should i set for each of the Ad Copy?

I mean Big Guys in media buying, who spend thousands every day to make 200% plus. They use Ad Networks. My point is .. Is it possible on Facebook? Make Millions a year?

Let's say, my mind set is to spend thousand $$$ to test, find the wining campaign and then spend $1000 a day in order to make $1000 in return (ROI).

Note: I am only talking about CPA offers. NOT teespring or other physical or info products.

I hope i made myself clear. If i didn't ask me, and sorry for bad English, i couldn't explain my self properly

P:S; I am not a newbie ... but i want to scale my business super high.

start low and if you see results go high.

Nothing is 100% sure, noone can give you exact numbers and noone will share their winning campaigns unless it's over.
Facebook will still be alive for years but always keep in mind that you shouldn't put all your eggs in the same basket.

I have study a few programs on Facebook Advertising and begun testing 2 weeks ago. My take, facebook is not a place to make serious money. This is why I feel that way

I tested dating offers from peerfly, Did my precise interest targeting for online dating and dating precise interest, Ran one campaign offer for women one for men. Spent about $60 and got 37 clicks and 2 conversions of 4.75 a piece (CPA dating offer) an average price of 87 cents per click. CTR of .003. Terrible. But everytime I wanted to change the ad to re test. My CPC went up like crazy. It started of at 25 – 53 cents then the next day it went up to 1:83 – 2.02 per click overnight.. WTF.. Then after that I changed to CPM. Because I had a good image and wanted to test new copy. When I did that FaceBook denied my offer giving me the following message WTF:

---------------------
We've recently updated our Advertising Guidelines for dating sites and apps.

To ensure a positive experience for everyone on Facebook, ads for dating sites
and apps are only allowed from approved advertisers through a direct sales
partnership. We hope this change will help encourage greater accountability and
maintain the quality of dating-related advertising on Facebook.

This means that you must have prior authorization from Facebook in order to buy
dating ads on Facebook. We are not currently accepting new partners at this
time, but we expect to open applications for new advertisers by February 15,
2014.

Thanks,

I also noticed that my ads when I did CPM keep being show to the same 3500 people althought the audience size showed 500,000 WTF. I don’t think you can get one cent or 4 cent clicks going to off sites on facebook. Just my opinion..If anyone has had success marketing on face book getting a 50% or more ROI. Please give me a few pointers as I think Facebook advertising sucks and is a money pit where you cannot make a good ROI.. With a budger of 1K to spend on ads.

Again advice or other Facebook Experiences?

Yes facebook has long term plan
Facebook enter in everybody life and it is not going to end soon
Facebook has some big plan I am sure that will change the users experience and it will come soon

[kuzmanin]

advertisement in facebook will become next google story
they will regulate it and it will be expensive

use Facebook or any other platform. but ultimately build your list, because whatever the name of the platform, it is still theirs and if you get banned or something very ridiculous happens to the platform at least you will have your list.

My two cents on this
