How Much Have You Made With Facebook Social Ads?
Filed Under (Finances) by Ross on 09-09-2008
Ever since I’ve started this blog (and made the mistake of giving out my AIM), I’ve been hurassed by people asking me how much I have made using Facebook social ads. All of these people have been met with a firm fuck off and mind your own business as my finances are my private information. I don’t know how you all were raised but finances are a personal thing that should bairly be shared with family members let alone complete strangers. The only person in my family that has a clue at how much I make is my mother who happens to be my (certified) accountant and financial advisor.
Money should have absolutely no baring on who a person is and whether or not the information they provide is legitamit. Either the information I write down is useful and makes you money, or you move along. I have found this blog quite useful just for myself as a type of journal to write down things and put them in perspective, much like a log or a journal.
Rather than discuss how much I have actually made from Facebook Social Ad’s (as you can blatently tell I’m not going to ever do that) I’ll show you the things I’ve been able to buy because of it:
- A new car - 2003 Saab 9-3 Linear (click to see it). My wife needed a car that she could drive and wasn’t comfortable driving the manual transmission in our other car.
- Pay off all my debts aside from half my student loans. Prior to starting affiliate marketing, I and my wife both had about $90,000 worth of debt.
- A new house. Although we are currently still living in our shitty little apartment, we’ve been preapproved for a mortgage of over $300,000. Not bad for a first house eh?
- A honeymoon. My wife and I had to delay our honeymoon for an entire year due to lack of funding. We partied it up in the Dominican like nothing else.
- A bitching computer setup. A Quad-core AMD Phenom (I <3 AMD), two 22″ samsung monitors, a sweet ass desk (which was actually free thanks to a friends failed living arrangement) and a $300 keyboard and mouse set.
- Alot of other miscellaneous crap.

Ross, glad you didn’t reveal your finances. Who cares anyway? Why do people need to achieve the same level of profit to be successful? They should be setting their target and aiming for that. Once they have achieved that target consistently, aim higher.
I am falling in love with this blog because I have an identical one. The purpose of my blog is to serve as a diary to keep track of great links that I find and to document my thought process for affiliate marketing. I think it is a great resource for when you need to look back and review your mistakes or even your successes.
Keep it up.
