No matter where you look it seems like everyone is talking about Facebook as the number one source of internet traffic these days. And for good reason I understand why, their stats are extremely impressive to say the least and as an online marketer you simply can’t ignore them.

There is a lot of hype about at the moment however, and it is good to try and styay aware of what is going on and not get too caught up in it all, typically when there is a tipping point like this every man and his dog with a sniff of success start creating products about getting a million visitors to your site in a minute from Facebook.

If you are looking for a course to show you how to navigate and profit from the tsunami of traffic in social media then there are some awesome one out there however they are few are far between. Make sure to do your due diligence.

Facebook statistics speak for themselves, even Google has mentioned that Facebook pose a threat to them, however if you are going into to Facebook to get a flood of traffic and make some quick money, understand that  the traffic from Facebook is different from other sources of traffic like PPC for instance.

Facebook users are in a different mind frame, this does not mean you cannot sell to them or anything like that, it’s the complete opposite in fact, and you just have to funnel them to your offers in different ways. Making money from Facebook can be fast and easy – but and it is a big but only if you do it the right way.

That’s the Million dollar question – What’s The Right Way?

Well I am glad you asked because I have the answer, ok I don’t personally I am not that smart but I know someone who is.

My friend Robert has been quietly working away in his lad since 2008 cracking the code of Facebook traffic. Robert’s strategies work so well he has helped people like Anthony Robbins, famous basketball player Yao Ming and millionaire entrepreneur Alex Madossian create huge followings of fans on Facebook.

For a very limited time Robert has made available for FREE 3 detailed videos explaining his closely guarded secrets to Facebook traffic…but hurry they won’t be online for long.

Well, well, well…it has been quite a while since I last posted something on here and I apologize for I have been flat-out getting new projects going and well…just been lazy.

What I want to share with you today are some of the findings I have found after some small facebook advertising tests I have done.

Fist up I have to tell you that I have not had much luck with PPC in the past, most of the time I lost money or broke even and just didn’t know how to leverage it to become profitable in a big way.

However, like myself I am sure you have been hearing more and more about facebook ads and for good reason facebook has some extremely impressive stats when it comes to traffic, I believe they have over 400 million users now, with the average user spending up to 55 minutes EVERY day on facebook and that is only scratching the surface.

The first thing you will want to do is look around to see if you can find some free money!

I found a couple of facebook ad coupons that gave me some free money to start myself off, you can find one of them here or type in ‘facebook ad coupons’ in Google and search around.

The products that I personally found to convert well are game related products, like ‘how to unlocking your wii’, ‘Farmville secrets’ type of products.

The only problem is that most of these products only pay out around $20 commission which doesn’t leave much room for profit margin.

The cheapest clicks I got were an average 0.06 cents this happened when my CTR was around 2% or better. I found when it was lower than that I would pay between 0.12 cents – 0.30 cents a click. I believe Facebook ads can work if you employ the right strategy.

Some Tips For Getting The Most Out Of Your Facebook Ads:

Create landing pages that capture names and emails, this way if your campaign isn’t profitable you still walk away with a return of investment. I also believe this is the best way to sell high ticket items to facebook users.

A lot of people are saying that facebook users don’t like ads, and whether this is true or not, I don’t think it really matters, what the reason cause is, is the mind frame of the average facebook user, people go to facebook to socialize, talk to friends, get the latest gossip, escape from work, cure boredom, etc.

Someone in that mind frame is not the most likely candidate to suddenly purchase a product worth $1000, yet!  But if you get this people to opt in to you list and you build trust by providing great value then these people will be more willing to part with their hard-earned cash when they are in the appropriate mind frame.

Extra Tips – Getting Traffic From Facebook

One very interesting statistic I heard recently is that 20 million people join fan pages on facebook everyday. The cool thing about facebook fan and group pages is that you can email and market to these people as often as you like.

Start creating groups and fan pages that will go viral within the facebook community – I am starting to do a lot more of this and I will keep you updated on my findings.
