Alright, you know what!? I’m tired of you little punks signing up with Tatto Media and not doing jack-shit with them. They are an excellent network and I’m surprised to see I’ve got a total of 8 affiliates all together that have pushed a total of $8 in conversions. You think that 8 dollars is gonna pay for the prize Tatto Media is giving away with me? Well, here it is. I’m gonna give you a campaign that you should go out and just try.
The offer I’m looking at is Top Colleges – University of Phoenix. Check it out. It’s got a decent offer that could probably do okay direct linking, but pre-selling it with a landing page will do you a lot more. I think this offer starts out at around $16, but I know if you ask your AM nicely, you can get a bump over $18. That’s some nice money for this easy converting 1-page offer.
First of all, you are going to need to figure out who your demographic is for this offer. We’ll just promote this on Facebook since you can target who you want pretty easily. So, what kind of people are gonna want an education online? Most young kids are already signed up for colleges on state campuses and what not, so stay the hell away from 18-year olds and such. The economy is in piss poor shape, and people are worried about their jobs. You want to target older 30+ aged people that already have decent business jobs, but want to get ahead in their free-time at home so their ass doesn’t get laid off.
I’d just start off by targeting college grads 30 and up. I already tried this just targeting anyone 18 and up to test if it would convert. I spent $50 and got one conversion. That means that there is a chance this can go somewhere if you target it right. Make sure to try out different ad copy. Here are some you could try:
- Extend your education and get a better job in our economy with a Master’s degree from the University of Phoenix. Study online from home anywhere in the world!
- Worried about losing your job in this economy? Keep it with a degree in higher learning at the University of Phoenix. Study anytime, from anywhere with an Internet connection!
- Get your FREE information package about how you can extend your degree at the University of Phoenix, all while learning from the comfort of your home living room!
For pictures, test a bunch out. I just jacked the school logo, extended it to 110 x 80 pixels and went with that. CTR was low, but I wasn’t worried about that as I was just gathering data. Other images you might want to try out are pictures of people in pyjamas on the computer (study at home in your pyjamas!), successful looking business people, money, computers, degrees, students, teachers (sexy teachers to male demographics… you know you want to try it), etc. There is so much you can split test. Make sure you name each ad with its own sub id so you can track which one will give you the highest EPC (CTR is important, too. Just don’t let it drop below .05. Aim for .08% and above if you can.) Bid CPC and if you can get any ads at .1% and above CTR, switch it over to CPM. You’ll end up paying probably have the CPC cost.
If you have trouble getting the ad up by direct linking, it might be because there are too many form fields to fill out on the offer page. Facebook hates that for some reason. Try, A) using a landing page (hell, it will probably increase your conversions if you know how to sell it enough) or B) cloak. I had to cloak to get it up. You can find a cloaking tool and other useful Facebook tools in this post. I cloaked to the University of Phoenix official website. That got it by without any problems whatsoever.
So once you get these ads up and running, keep split testing and toss out the shit that doesn’t work. This offer is already a proven converter, and I’ve seen lots of online educational offers on Facebook. So get with the frickin program. Sign up with Tatto Media, and get your chance to win a free netbook or computer monitor while you are at it!
For you wondering why I’m just giving out a whole campaign that will convert to profit for some (with enough testing) is because I don’t think many of you will actually try it or put in enough effort to actually make it profit. You almost always will lose money in the beginning of every campaign. Get a bunch of credit cards while your credit is still good and just work it till it sticks. I’d think you’d be able to make money off this after losing maybe just 100 – 200 dollars. Not too much! Also, I’ve got other campaigns I’ve been building on that I just can’t be bothered scaling into other niches until I’ve got other things managed. Looks like I’m gonna need a couple more employees with me soon!

I’ve made a nice chunk of change with FB, but it’s all been through direct linking. Never thought landing pages would work with FB’s users. Last few days I’ve heard from a number of people that LPs definitely do work. Thanks Justin. I think I’ll give it a shot.

Did they pull the offer? It is no longer listed in their system and all traffic I was sending is being redirected to MyLuvCrush UK.

No idea. That’s odd. Check with your AM!

Damn. I’ll write up another post then and find something better. The FindMyDegree could probably be used in a similar fashion, just have to tweak your creatives a bit.

I’m working on fixing this problem. The plugin I used to manage this broke when I upgraded Wordpress. For now, you can use this link: CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP WITH TATTO MEDIA

See, and here in lies another problem we’re faced every fucking day!
Sure, lose $1-200 testing a campaign until it starts to break even/make you money. Generally for me this is on day 2-3. and then boom, the offer is pulled/they hit their lead cap. Almost every fucking time! And that’s provided that fb will even approve 20 of the 500 ads that we/i submit. This is why rebills are so lucrative, pity it fucks out the end user.
Adapt or die right?..
