I don't know if this has been shared or not. If yes, do tell me and I'll close it.

There is a way to use Facebook ads without paying a cent, by using their coupon. The coupon is not too hard to find, just spend some time on Google and you'll eventually find one that is still valid (I have a code for $25 coupon which is valid till the end of this month, but not going to tell you =P). Actually this is old news. But what I just find out is, how to use a coupon TWICE with a single credit/debit card.

Only 1 coupon is accepted for every Facebook account. And for each FB account, you have to link your credit/debit card before you can redeem the coupon. But if you have a PayPal account (verified) with the same card, you can actually link that PayPal account to another FB account, a fake one. Now use that fake FB account to redeem the same coupon, or another coupon.

If you have more than 1 credit/debit card, you can make more fake account and redeem more coupon.

I've already claimed around USD200 of facebook coupon and used around $50. Balance expired so I can't use them anymore.

Facebook ads? Not so sure, they don't really deliver me quality traffics. I got around 100 clicks for $10, non of those clicks deliver my any profit. Or maybe its my fault for targetting Malaysian. LOL

It depends. Yesterday I get 991 clicks for only $5 (equal to $0.005 for each click). Mine is niche blog, I guess it's harder for personal blog to attract fans.

p/s: AMiRU go back to CT la, abuse admin power.

$0.005 per click?? OMG.. That's freaking low.. They recommend me $0.08 to $0.12 per click so I put $0.10 per click. You... put $0.005 and got almost 1000 clicks???

>.<

I use CPM. My bid is $0.15 per 1000 impressions (yeah, my keyword is cheap). But in the end, it turns out to be $0.037 per 1000 impressions.

This is what I get from $5:

Aha.. mind showing me your ad? Maybe u put a hot chicks as the image that so many people clicks on your ad. LOL

Hmm.. shud I try CPM ad then? If I can get approximately 1000 clicks from $5, at least I'm getting low cost traffic.

My ad is nothing catchy. As you can see, the CTR is only 0.7%, which is average. What makes my ad a good deal is the low cost per click, not high CTR.

My CTR was 0.019% I guess my setting was not optimized? Looks like I'm gonna advertise in Facebook again to try out new setting.

I got FB coupons from godaddy and FB but FB 1 already expired, godaddy 1 valid until Dec. So, does it mean if the coupon is $50, means once it hit $50, the ad will auto expired or they will continue to charge to my CC? Can we set the max payout like Adword? I didnt try coz scare they will charge to my CC after the amount exceeded $50, anyone of u can share more info here? Thanks.

Yes, you can set lifetime limit for the budget.

which means it's safe to use FB Ad Coupon? I shld try it this weekend, thanks

You can set daily budget, make sure you set your maximum budget to the amount you want so they won't charge your CC.
I'm currently running my campaign using my CC.

so, how's the performance of FB ad? How much you are paying monthly and how many visitors you received via FB ad? Mind to share? Thanks.

For my case, it's quite satisfying. For $70 ($50 from coupon), my FB page now got almost 8k fans. But I only recommend it for new blog with no visitors, like mine. Why? Because it won't increase your traffic by much. Out of those many fans, I get only 500 UV every day. Nothing compared to your site which get few thousands of UV every day.

But if you plan on using coupons, why not give it a try? At least you'll get a few extra unique viewers for the cost of nothing.

How can I get the coupon? I googled facebook ads coupon but not sure is it open for everyone to use.

As for the payment method, can I use paypal instead of credit card?

It is open for everyone to use, but only 1 coupon per FB account. You can find the coupon on google, just try harder.

You can use PayPal, but for best result, use both on separated FB accounts.

ya, agree with you but still no time to setup the ad, hopefully this weekend I can do it, thanks so much. BYW, 8K FB fans is awesome, my FB fan page was created in June and got only 1.4K in 4 months...

this can help u

use ur cousin or friend or anyone who can lend u is account

then u can get quite alot of visitor

beware of making fake account to redeem more coupons because it may ended up getting suspended

Why should I care if they want to suspend me? I lose nothing. They're not adsense.
