I plan to keep posting about my progress on Facebook, whether it exposes my super stupid affiliate techniques or not.  Right now I am pretty much breaking even overall with the offer I chose to learn Facebook Ads with. I've spent about $60 and have made back nearly that much in commissions.  I'm pretty frickin' happy with this! I'm running a new offer in a new niche,  on a new ad platform and breaking even, so I'm 100% confident that I'll be able to continue making adjustments until I'm profitable.

Actually, over the past two days, since I started using my pseudo- ad scheduling technique, and writing new ads,  my campaign has been profitable! So, now that I have a system in place that I know works, and is making me money, I'll increase my budget. I'm not going to increase my CPC bid though. Instead I'll increase the overall campaign budget.

If I were using someone else's money (ie. credit cards) like so many affiliate do, I'd max out the budget and start rocking it. But, I hate credit cards and have sworn to never use them again (and haven't in at least 4 years), so I have to stick to a budget that I can afford to spend out-of-pocket right now.  This simply means it's going to take me more time (and a shit-load of patience) to turn over my profits, and increase my volume than someone borrowing money from a credit card.

Once I get a good feel for Facebook traffic with this campaign, I'll have a solid foundation for launching new campaigns there too.
