So we all know that affiliate marketing isn’t the “easiest” thing in the world. I am sure you can all find other jobs, businesses and activities that are probably easier than affiliate marketing. With that said I think it’s also important to realize how easy it is when compared to the revenue you can generate from it. Working at home, sitting on my computer, marketing other people’s products and earning money is a lot easier than being the CEO of some major corporation, and I probably make close to the same money. So when you put it in perspective it’s not really “that hard”, right?
Anyway the goal of this post is to share with you one thing that you absolutely must do as an affiliate. You have to target the customer YOU want and ONLY that customer. You don’t get paid when people just browse around you need them purchasing things so you can earn commissions. One of the easiest ways I have found to really refine and target your audience is to use Facebook as a marketing platform.
Remember when you sign up on Facebook they ask you just about every questions you could possible dream of about yourself which is a marketers dream. Now as an advertisers on Facebook you can target by things such as age, gender, relationship status, college, education level, city, state, hobbies, interest and so much more. This makes targeting that exact customer pretty easy.
Over the next few weeks I am going to share some really cool Facebook marketing tips with you so it’s best you don’t miss any of the blogs coming your way…
Here’s my tip for this week.
Use the Facebook “Birthday” feature. This allows you to target people on their birthday’s. So let’s say you have an ad running that says something like:
Happy Birthday
Click here for your gift
www.yourwebsite.com
Now the ONLY people that will see this are people who login to Facebook on their birthday’s. This allows you to use “happy birthday” in your ad and really increase your click through ratios….. go use it! Check back next week for more tips!

I just want o know what the most effective way to get many friends quickly on facebook so you have an audience to advertise products and services too?
How do you develop that grab line to sell the product?
I’ve never advertised on Facebook. Please explain step-by-step how to start. Also, please show step-by-step how to do free advertising on Facebook.

Anthony, I would like to know how the money will be made by advertising on facebook. Should I have the facebook readers to click on my website or what should I do? I probably should invest in you learning class, but I don’t have any money. As a matter of fact I need to make some money fast. I am creating a sewing and alteration business and I cannot advertise to get business. Please help me even if I have to pay you when I make money.

Thanks for the training videos! Can you teach me more about how I can check and make sure that I posted the ads correctly enough for the search engines like Yahoo, Google, etc. to be linked back to my website for potential payment to me?

Hello Anthony
I’ve been reading “The Hidden Millionaire” for this past week n is very interesting.
My question is: how can I maki money fast? and how the money is send? I’m willing to learn but I do not know anything about internet
Hi!, Anthony,
Can’t enter you drawing for $50 this time as I have not as yet learned about facebook or twitter.
I do get your newsletter, though.
As far as “what I want you to teach me”………..everything!…I’m just getting started.
Thanx……………..DR
I would like you to give a page or two? telling me what everything means…like (copied from Tim Davidson’s (no relation) reply)
I.Create squeeze page/ landing page – guess they are the same thing but exactly what is it?; 2. Create web page – how many can we have or do we need?; 3. Hosting & domain – what is it & what is it used for?;
4. Auto-responder – what’s this?; 5.Drive traffic LGS – what’s LGS.
Remember, there are a lot of us who know nothing about the internet or what acronyms stand for. We do not know HOW to do anything, including how to navigate on the internet.
Sharon Davidson
please explain what a Squeeze page is in your set up Tim
Im new to this whole thing..I seen web pag’es in my email to “sign up and make money instantly” so i signed up.(who wouldn’t?) but i spent my money and I don’t know what to do..I tried the facebook thing but they charge..is there anyway around paying for advertisement when your just starting out??
This is a great start,I NEED A SETUP ALSO.
Hi Anthony, thanks for contact me…I would really appreciate learning how to make money in the internet….I love marketing!!!! thanks…
im not sure were to start this prossice
Thanks for the Facebook tip.
How can we advertise on a limited budget or without any extra money?
There are some great suggestions already looking through the 42 posts, I’m looking forward to hearing about all of them. I’m very new to this whole thing so if you could teach us step by step like we were in 1st grade I’d greatly appreciate it. 🙂 Thanks Anthony for taking your time to do so.
To be honest I bought your program only because we had the same last name, at first I ignored your emails but recently started reading them and am starting to gain interest. I want you to teach me how to be succesfull doing what you do from step 1
I would like to know how to spend less and how to turn advertising ads into profits on internet in ppc marketing, tne steps necessary.
Thanks Anthony for all you do. Would like to learn how market using flyers and emails. I have a vista print site. How can I use a market plan from that site.
Facebook sounds good, so I will await more info in the future. Do you think I can create my own website using MS Office Publisher? or maybe it would be better to use a friend who knows how & is willing to help? I have ideas for at least 6 sites and 6 domain names. Or should I focus on blogging and/or blogsites?? Thanks A.M., you are the greatest!
Tell me how to make my landing page nicer, a place where users want to stay. Also how do I get affiliates to approve me when I am so new?
I was kicked off face-book. Recent e-mails from face-book team asks where am I etc. I don’t figure to use it or twitter but I do use your advice on my off line work. Like your video lesson on ads eg. The “Your Wife Is Hot” billboard. I’ll be 78 on the 26th. Striving to make millions is not my bag but making a good living and being comfortable without touching my investments mutual funds etc. is important.You are the best.
Great tip but I would like to know more about free advertising. I believe that would help those just getting started like myself who really need some income.

Very interesting your tip. Although I haven’t advertised in FC, I’m gonna try since now on. What I want you to teach me or recommend to me is what can I do with Google Adwords now that they just suspended my account for recurrent violations?
How do I use your program to start making money on a very limited start up budget and have success?
hoping to do bussinesss soon.
Your blogs are so informative & detailed I suggest you keep doing what you’re doing :). The consistent communication is KEY. We need to continually hear from you since the teaching arena is virtual. You are doing a tremendous service to all of us who are interested in online advertising/marketing. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!
365 Days is the clearest and most simple step by step explanation of affiliate marketing and/or eCommerce! At first I thought it was TOO simple and then I realized that I try to jump into projects that I can just breeze through. NOT! At least not in the world of technology. I grew up “watching” the radio and then finally we had a 6″ TV -B&W! I’m a jewelry designer, classical pianist and love to cook so I didn’t think there was a place for me in technology!(also 69 years young) HELLO!!! Every time I turn on the TV someone is either cooking or selling jewelry!!! Then I found Anthony on line and he made me feel like I COULD do this!
I purchased 365 Days@Thanksgiving and finally got to it 20 days ago! GO FOR IT!!! He even has a special offer right now! JJ
I would like to know step by step how to advertise on Facebook. From phase one and on.
This Facebook business is brand new to me I need all the info I can get.
Please help.
Thank you
Hi Anthony,
Hope this note finds you doing well. Looking forward to class in Utah the first week of April! It will be my last in the series!
I have been learning the ‘landing pages’.
Debbi in AZ
A am ready to begin advertising on Facebook. My question is: if I have two different products in my WEB: Real State investments and Quality Control (Lean Enteprise inplementation), Can I advertise this in only one web or it is better in two different WEBs?
Good afternoon Anthony,
It’s interesting reading the various comments and questions. I’m eager to get started and to earn money is essential. I’m sorry to say that I have been badly scammed and earning an income is number one. I think a dictionary of terms used in “computer language” would be very helpful!!!!
I am in need to be successful and looking forward to realizing a dream coming true. You are a good teacher (I hear!) and I’m looking forward to getting what I need to have my dreams come true . . soon.
Elizabeth

Regards Dan B
