I&#8217;ve never tried affiliate marketing before, but I&#8217;ve heard numerous success stories.</p>
<p>I came across <a href="http://unlimitedwiidownloads.com/cbae/?a=e6YJ1sCUfl">Unlimited Wii Downloads</a> and thought that this was something that would be of interest to the facebook crowd. This site supposedly lets you download games, videos, and music to your Nintendo Wii system. A quick search on the internet shows that this site has generally favourable reviews, and that the software works. Unfortunately I do not own a Wii, so I can&#8217;t test or vouch for the program.</p>
<p>Membership for the site is either $39.95 (for one month) or $49.95 (for a lifetime). Promising a payout of 75% for each membership sold, I will need to sell either ~3-4 one month memberships, or ~2-3 lifetime memberships to break-even on the $100 facebook voucher.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve applied to create the ad via facebook using the following settings. I&#8217;ve heard they are quite strict on accepting ads, but we&#8217;ll see. Hopefully persistance pays off.</p>
<p align="center"><img height="270" alt="unlimitedwii04" hspace="10" src="http://spiffyowl.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/unlimitedwii04.jpg" width="600" vspace="10" /></p>
<p>The wording of the ad is important. I choose a question for the title, a technique known to capture attention more often than a simple statement. A brief description of the service, as well as a call to action is included in the ad description.</p>
<p align="center"><img height="291" alt="unlimitedwii02" hspace="10" src="http://spiffyowl.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/unlimitedwii02.jpg" width="600" vspace="10" /></p>
<p>I chose the United States as my target market instead of Canada, for the simple reason that the website I am promoting caters first to Americans (the price is listed in USD). I&#8217;m targetting people over 18, since those are the ones who posess credit cards. I&#8217;ve included both males and females since, despite popular opinion, there are almost as many female gamers as males (I should know, I am a female gamer!). Keywords are restricted to anything containing &#8216;Wii&#8217;.</p>
<p align="center"><img height="238" alt="unlimitedwii03" hspace="10" src="http://spiffyowl.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/unlimitedwii03.jpg" width="600" vspace="10" /></p>
<p>And finally, I&#8217;ve set my daily budget to $5.00 and my max bid per click to $0.10. That means that each time a facebook user sees my ad and clicks it, up to 10 cents will be deducted from my account. I will probably need to adjust this later since this budget is quite conservative.</p>
<p>So now I just need to cross my fingers and hope that facebook approves the ad. I&#8217;ll keep you updated!</p>
<p>
<b>Edit:</b> Holy that was fast. Within an hour (and before I could even get this blog post up) facebook has approved the ad! I&#8217;ll watch it for a couple of days and update the Spiffy Owl with any progress.</p>
