Advertising on Facebook - The Make Money Blogging Campaign

Well, friends the time has come.

Finally, I have decided to delve into the realm of paid advertising. For those of you that have been following my many Ralph Cramden-like escapades, you will have noticed that I have put my heart and soul into many different ways to communicate my great product(s) to the outside world.

Although the money is coming in.... it's not the river rush, but more of a trickling stream.

Today I am joining the "advertise on Facebook" bandwagon.

Here's what I liked about setting up my ad's... It was easy, and it can be as inexpensive as I like.

Today I set up 2 ads, both ads will run for 1 week. Both ads will cost me no more than $2.00 a day.

It will be interesting to see if that little ad will open the flood gates (as I hope), to the mad rush of incoming cash!

My current pet project is making money from blogging.

I have this report, I purchased it, it is AWESOME! I have been blogging for 4 years and I thought I knew everything there was to know about blogging and how to turn a profit doing it... but this report was fantastic and really put me on a different track.

It was worth every penny... and it was incredibly cheap! Click here for more info

But this blog entry isn't a sales pitch for the "Blogging to the Bank" program, even though it changed my blogging life... This blog entry is all about my experiment advertising on Facebook.

Today, I am going to experiment further... by placing an ad for a friend of mine that runs a Closet Organization Company, it will be interesting to see if 'work from home' guide will draw more clients then a physical product like Closet Experts. Hmmmmmmm

I will keep you posted.

3/22/09 is the end of the Facebook Campaign and I will share with you my statistics and the outcome of my first ever venture into advertising on Facebook.

Wish me luck!
