Hey all. I’m still having a try at the affiliate marketing stuff. I just signed up with Facebook Advertising to try my hand at that.
I have decided I was going to try and use the targeting in Facebook to help show my ad to ONLY those I want interested in the offer. The setup was pretty easy, and once I figured out what Facebook wanted for criteria, it was easy to get them approved. Normally I go with the CPC model, but with Facebook, I am trying the CPM model. So far it seems to be rather cost effective. So far I haven’t made a conversion yet, but it is still the beginning.
I will keep you tuned.

Taking a small change of pace from the rails stuff, I have looked into doing some affiliate marketing. I have been reading a lot on the WarriorForum and signed up with NeverBlueAds.
I decided I was going to pick an offer, create a landing page, and drive traffic to it using Adwords. I picked an offer that was a low paying one as I figured I wouldn’t have to spend too much in Adwords while I tested the waters.
Once I picked the offer, I created a landing page trying to push potential “customers” to the affiliate link. Next I went into Adwords and created a new ad, using only the Content network. I decided to do this because I could control what pages and what keywords I wanted the ads to show for. I picked a bunch of sites that were relevant to the offer.
I ended up making about $24, but spending about $50 in adwords. Not too bad for my first attempt. I will continue to refine my processes and try to build a winner!
