Facebook Traffic – Tests & Findings

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.

Would You Bank It or Double It? This Will Determine Your Success

July7

The basis of human behaviour and what drives all of us is the pursuit for pleasure and the avoidance of pain.

What is very interesting about this however is that most people will do whatever they can to avoid pain instead of what they can to gain more pleasure.

I know this sounds funny and strange however when you think this. If you won $50000 cash would you feel more comfortable about putting it in the bank so it is safe and so no one can take it off you or would you prefer to invest it and try and turn it into $100000 or more?

For most people the pain of losing the money is more powerful than the pleasure of doubling it.

This happens with everything in life and influences every decision you make. This is often what the difference is between someone who succeeds and someone who fails.

Most people focus on the action that brings them the instant pleasure and avoid the pain rather than experience a little bit of pain in the present to experience a lot of pleasure in the future.

Take exercising for example. If you haven’t created the habit of exercising regularly going to the gym for a hour session may bring up some pain in the present however if you go to the gym and do an hour session and create that habit you may experience a bit of pain in the present however what impact would this habit have in your life over the long term?

Ultimately it would bring you a lot of pleasure in the future and you could also have more energy and vitality which could save you a lot of pain in the future.

The difference between success and failure is the actions you do in the present that take you closer to your goal, not the actions that bring you short term pleasure in the now moment.

Have a look at the actions and habits you are doing and ask yourself “Are they taking you closer to your goal or just providing some short term pleasure?”

The Secret Behind Using The Law Of Attraction

June18

Frankly, the secret behind the secret is a lot different than what you might already understand about the law of attraction. I think knowing the secret behind the secret makes a big difference. Do you know it? Know it if you don’t!

If you know and use the secret behind the secret it will improve your life 100%. I’ll give you my secret in a second for free; but first lets clear something up here about the way the Secret has portrayed the law of attraction; and this is not the secret behind the secret just an explanation.

To call it: the law of attraction, is not entirely true. It should be called the law of resonance. What the heck?

In science it is opposites that actually attract each other, not things that are the same. Carl Jung, the famous psychologists and spiritualist, talks about synchronicities, which are patterns of reality. Taking the Mandelbrot Set into consideration, (this is a mathematical formula that describes the universe), you will see that all things seem to break down into patterns, or fractals, of similarities. These patterns are at the same time eternally different.

This cool mathematical formula really does seem to shed light on how the entire universe works, which is now referred to by quantum physicists as the multi-verse, no longer seen as a singularity. Why multi-verse?

It appears that similar patterns of new born universes are popping up like bubbles all the time. Thus, all patterns exists at the same time in eternity, or with in timelessness.

This means instead of attracting something, you are actually just resonating with a pattern that already exists, so you are not really attracting it, but connecting to it. After connecting to it you are changing it just slightly, which just slightly changes every other pattern simultaneously because everything is connected in the multi-verse.

This is my secret behind the secret, secret to becoming successful with the law: just be happy all the time, resonate with fractals of happiness. Happiness is a means in itself. All other goals lead to happiness. Its the goal to end all goals. The longer you stay in the pattern of happiness, you will become happier, happiness will become your pattern. Really good things come with happiness: chocolate, love, wealth, and health, etc.

Through your subconscious is the the way to be happy all the time, not through your conscious thought. Your subconscious is what truly creates your reality. You must connect, and transform your subconscious, and the secret behind the secret by Dr Eric Amidi will be helpful to you.

Just imagine if your consciousness was running in accordance with your subconscious, how more powerful would that be if just positive thinking can help you:

  • Builds bridges
  • Combats seasonal illnesses
  • Creates wealth

If you want to be a master of the Secret to apply it to your life and be a winner, and not just some one who thinks it is just about visualizing and daydreaming then it is vital to take a look at the secret behind the secret. Get the meat not just the concepts about manifesting your reality. Access the secret behind the secret here.
