In this article, I'm going to break down how you can get easy commissions via Facebook ADs and Community Pages promoting TedsWoodworking. So listen up because this might just be the best advice you can use as an affiliate.

Also, I'm going to assume you already have a Facebook AD account or know how to sign up for one. In not, google it. There're plenty of free articles to teach you how to sign up.

So lets get started:

If you haven't already watch this, take a look at an official ClickBank's case study on TedsWoodworking.

You'll learn step by step how to make your first sale with FB Ads.

Choosing the right audience is essential for a successful Facebook ads campaigns. You need laser-focused targeting. Start with a defined audience size (arrow in the middle).  

As you scale, you can go broader within the woodworking interests.  You can add more interests as long as they are related to woodworking. 

With your first AD, I recommend you only start with Newsfeed and Mobile targeting.

Why? 

You can however, target all sources (we've affiliates that do that) but MAKE SURE you split test your ADs and disable those with poor ROI.

Do NOT use your main affiliate link as the landing page on your Facebook AD.

You have to use our FB compliant link  as it has no exit pop ups or autoplay videos:

You can find the FB compliant page in our affiliate resource section

You can also use your own domain and have more control over the landing page (recommended!)

That means you can add your own pixel in your domain and do re-targetting

That also mean you can collect your own leads and send them marketing email for better engagement to get warm leads -> which leads to higher conversions!

It helps to give away a FREE PLAN on your landing page -  then for the "thank you" page (after they have opt-in), use this affiliate link:

https://hop.clickbank.net/?affiliate=XXXXX&vendor=tedsplans&cbpage=plandl

This affiliate link simply tells the customer to check their inbox and presents them with a salespage (with your affiliate cookie)

I would HIGHLY recommend you use TID tracking codes for your affiliate links. Find out more about using Clickbank's tracking integration on Clickbanks help page

You can place all your tracking pixels from PPC networks from your own Clickbank account.

If a sale was made via your Facebook ADs, in the sales reporting you would see that Tracking ID listed in the TID column, indicating how many of that tracking ID is accounted for the sales.

For Ad optimization, switch to "optimize for link clicks" instead of "Page Views" if you're sending traffic to our landers.

Alternatively, you can also see this article on domain verification:

You can use RedTrack to verify your own domains for conversion tracking. The workaround allows you to track conversions for your affiliate campaigns.

We also recommend taking a look at Clickmagick as a tracking solution.

I'd say the importance of the image is 90%. The copy is just about 10%.

In Facebook ADs, the most important element is choosing the right image to INTERRUPT your audience.

The audience on Facebook is VERY different from those searching on Google. They're primarily there to interact with friends, gossip, etc. You need the right image, targeted at your audience to STOP THEM in their tracks.

Try to create an ad that uses natural text versus something that seems like an advertisement. Imagine what you naturally write / post on Facebook compared something that seems like a paid placement.

The copy doesn't really matter much in our experience. The image is about 90% of the work. The copy just asks for the action. (eg: Click here to get free plans! or Get Access to 16,000 plans etc)

Even better, create an AD that offers free plans. CTR will be higher since visitors will be getting a free plan when they click on your AD.

Remember to SPLIT-TEST. Ideally you should run 6-10 images and copy at once. Pause those with CTR of less than 0.05%.

Remember to take note of advertising decays. Over time you need to refresh your advertising, even if it’s working, to prevent it from going stale.
