    It's an ok start, are you split testing different age groups, ads and other targeting? If not, that's probably your problem. You need to split test different variables to see what converts better

    Its Ok to lose money at beginning. But you need to test and find winning combination.

    It's your targeting.

    You're way way way too broad.

    To be honest, these offers in combination with Facebook ads
    will always result in a loss.
    FB ads are expensive and the commissions on these offers are to low.

    You have two options:

    * promote offers onFB that earn you a bigger commission,
    * find other, more inventive traffic sources to promote your current offers

    Good luck!

    I quit agree that for a beginer its ok to lose some money, some other people may run the same ads and campaign and make money that is where experience come in. U don't quit cos your first one wasn't a winner but u keep testing and tweeking until u hit a winner. Its so easy to buy one of those guides and expect that all of a sudden as a nubie u start making $1000s first week may happen but its no guarantees. But staying on it and working on it is what ensures that u will hit a winner.
    Best of luck.

    Facebook has a "science" behind it, just like any other traffic source. One bad campaign definitely doesn't mean that the whole traffic source is bad.

    You didn't make money with your first test and it's fine, the same happened to me and 99% of the guys who are successful on Facebook now. Don't think that FB sucks and simply move on. If you do it, you will keep doing it with other traffic sources and will never master one of them.

    Analyze your campaigns, get advice, spy on competitors and make changes. Then, try again. If you keep testing and improving your campaigns eventually you will crack the code of facebook, which, btw, isn't a very complex traffic source.

    Try to tighten up your targeting, it is pretty typical for a beginner to lose money when starting out. I took me 3 month to become profitable. If your first few campaigns isn't successful don't blame the traffic source.

    Never give up, you get your campaigns into the green!
