Facebook Marketing.. Dream contest

The video I posted sure stirred up some controversy. It seems that some people think that Facebook Social Ads (pay per click or pay per 1000 impressions) is the secret to Facebook marketing.

Well yes and no.

As you heard in the video you can lose a lot of money on Facebook ads but also “invest” money and get a nice return. For example M.G. (who I interviewed at length in a 53 min audio interview) spends $1000 per day on Facebook ads … and makes $2500 to $3000 per day in sales of his product. Some of his affiliates have been taught the same methods and also are having sales up to 4-figures.

So it’s possible.

But not easy unless you know how to monitor the budgets and write the ads so they get the clicks.

And there’s other ways to hit the goldmine.

There’s so much more to Facebook Marketing - whether you have a business already or simply want to make some money using this fast growing social network of 70,000,000 people and 200, 000 new people joining per day.

I know there’s more to it than ppc ads, because I surveyed my list a few months ago and asked them what their biggest question was re Facebook marketing.

Here are the top questions I heard:

  • how do I keep separate my private life from my business life?
  • how do I build a list using Facebook?
  • how do I get started?
  • how can I research a new market using Facebook?

These are questions I had - and maybe you have some of them as well.

As I researched these questions I met some people who are already having success using Facebook for marketing:

  • A realtor who has earned at least $3,000.00 in commissions just by spending 10-12 hours on Facebook following a process
  • A soccer mom from Calgary who is growing her MLM business by at least 3 people per month in her downline, making recurring income of at least $180/month … that’s $180 being ADDED to her monthly income repeatedly as she adds more people each month
  • A 23 year old from Minnesota who has built a list using Facebook that he can email anytime he needs some income, and now as a result he’s semi-retired

So as I got answers to the questions, I discovered proof of regular people having success using some sort of process.

Let’s cut to the chase… I’ll tell you bluntly (heck my own list has known for months) that I’ve developed a product around this process concept that can help you market better and make money using Facebook. More on that later in another post…

Stop and think for a sec.

If you could have a process that you can follow, which shows you how to market and make money with Facebook, what would be your dream come true and can you share it with us?

    Peter,

    Are you aware of any success cases using Facebook for business in Europe ?

    I was checking http://www.facebook.com/press/info.php?statistics but in there I cannot see how many users are for example in Spain.

    Also read this techcrunch note a while ago:
    http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/02/07/facebook-turns-1500-users-into-spanish-translation-slaves/

    I think now that it’s fully translated it will catch up faster. But a while ago I was trying to find groups and I was surprised to see how small the Spanish community is compared to the american / english speaking active users.

    Hi Martin - I’m sure they are out there.

    I interviewed 2 people from the UK for Facebook Payday:
    - Paul R. - a consultant who uses Facebook to get website/marketing projects
    - Fahad M. - an MLM business owner who has seen much better return on investment in recruiting people into his business, using Facebook

    As for central Europe other than the UK I must admit I haven’t searched hard enough. I know someone who sells high end beach/resort real estate out of Brazil … using Facebook. I’ll probably interview them soon if there’s interest.

    You can easily use Facebook to find these people in Spain and elsewhere.

    -Peter
