Facebook allows publishers to use coupon codes to induce buying from their audience. In addition to other areas of Facebook marketing, Facebook ads is one of the Pay-Per-Click networks that can be cost effective, where potential prospects are most likely in your friend base to respond to your campaigns AND where Google doesn’t play “watch dog” and boot your ads out of rotation if they don’t like what they see.

Assuming you know where to go to create an ad campaign on Facebook, complete the profile of what your prospect or friend looks like. Are they female? What do they like? Is this the type of prospect that needs what you are offering? Place all of that data on paper so that you can get a composite of each individual prospect. These prospects will be the group you aim for in your ads. Be sure to use the keyword of your service in your headline and body of the ad. Take a look at Google ads in your Gmail and see how ads are written. They are concise, targeted and has a call to action. Enter in the bid type and all other information you want to pinpoint towards your offer. BTW, bid type is simply Cost-Per-Click and how much you are willing to pay for each prospect to click through to your ads. Ideally, you want to set your budget at $10-$25 per day for the duration of your ad campaign. So if you run a campaign on Facebook for 3 days, you will pay $30 for 3 days or $75 for 3 days. If you set your ad budget too low, then your ads has a dramatically less chance for exposure. Out of, say, $30 for 3 days, you want to set the CPC at .50 cents or higher. Each click will deduct from your budget of $30 and your ads will get some exposure.

If set at a medium to high price, you will get a lot of exposure. There are other Facebook guidelines you must comply with so that your ads get approved. Ads can’t promise to make money or make outrageous claims. Your ads shouldn’t convey home business opportunities, although I do see them advertise a lot on Facebook. However, it is the way the sales funnel is setup. Those ads are usually cleverly written and they get approved. Additionally, these ads get click-throughs that further leads the prospect into a funnel, such as collecting email addresses and then setting up communication with those who click through to the ad that follow the path to the destination URL provided; such as a blog or a web form. The destination can’t lead to an affiliate page or any page that you don’t edit, revise or control.

When you set up your funnel, you take control of the sales process from the start. You must have convincing sales copy and a host of other marketing techniques working as a mix to bring traffic to your offer.

Facebook ads is but one way to do this. There are many ways to drive traffic.

Also, when you place your destination URL within the Facebook ad or campaign, you pay a lower COST-PER-CLICK when you drive the traffic from within Facebook. The URL should be a Facebook URL such as a group or business page link. Once you have collected information about your prospect, then you can send communication from within your autoresponder to automate your list and send them to your affiliate-opp or biz-opp.

Before placing Facebook ads, a good way to gauge your potential success is to see how your friends are responding to your current posts. If you don’t have a lot of activity or response to your posts, then chances are, your Facebook ads will not be successful. Conversely, if there is a lot of interactivity to your posts, that means your content is quality which carries weight. Combined with advertising at the right time of day, Facebook advertising can be a real boost to business. The more people click on your ads, the lower your CPC as well.

A good thing about Facebook ads is that you can target exactly the person that fit your product or service. You can target your friends by age range, city or country, sex or criteria you look for that might have a high chance of getting click-throughs. You can target those who “like” certain interests and since your friends or prospects know, like and trust you, they are more likely to click-through to your ad and see your message or offer.

You also must use tracking so that you can control how much you are spending each day. You have to measure which ads are successful and which are not. You will have to mine the data so that you can spend your advertising dollars as judiciously as possible. There are several ways to do this but it takes diligence and constant monitoring. You have an even greater chance of success if you do some split-testing and see which ads pull better. You will use tracking to make such determination.

Using Facebook ads can be a powerful thing if done right. Getting coaching or taking a course is essential. However, if done without diligent study and knowledge, you could end up selling your firstborn along with an arm and a leg.

As we observe Earth Day and reflect on the sustenance the Earth has provided us through the grace and providence of the Divine: Something that has gotten my attention lately is the constant fluctuation of gas and energy prices. When I go to my relatives home, or that of a friend, I am always amazed with the exorbitant amount of wasted energy that I witness with each encounter. Many times, I am tempted to say something thought-provoking, but refrain because I know the best way to get a message across diplomatically is to practice the talk.

Although I clandestinely turn off lights without their noticing, I can’t help but wonder why we are not, as a whole, placing more attention on green energy consciousness, revolting against relentless gouging by using less gas, oil and energy and demanding a better way to consume these resources without further pilfering of the earth? Truly, great effort is expended in trying my best not to get on my soapbox here (and it’s a pretty sudsy one) however, there is something caught in my craw and I just have to yank it out just a wee bit—not much.

I like to remind others just how empowered they are. We are the leaders we seek to change our world globally. Government is not the solution to the resolving the economy, creating jobs or making our quality of life better for ourselves for future generations to come. In our responsibility of freedom and conduct, we must secure what is rightfully ours, that is: an inalienable right to rebuild our world as WE want to see it. We want to envision a world that does not include constant inflation or that which would continue to cause the perpetuity of such conditions. Especially inflation concerning energy consumption in our country and the world abroad. It’s called transportation.

Energy influences everything you do from flipping the switch to gassing at the pump; from getting a meal through a drive-thru to mailing a package or just simply buying a case of bottled water or a cup of brew at Starbucks. As we continue to demand oil and energy at the rate we consume and waste, the demand continues to drive up inflation and this vicious cycle continues. When I think about it, it is mind-boggling that we have not protested in utter outrage, rather, we haven’t so much as blinked an eye. However, disavowing knowledge, or lack thereof, will not provide a way of escape from the continuous harmful affects of the world’s massive and wasted oil and energy consumption. Wherever you are, you are touched by it in many ways.

Imagine not having to spend 1/3, 1/2 or even 2/3 of your paycheck on JUST oil or energy while consuming less combined with affordable, renewable, clean energy? Think about that burger you pay $4.00 for that could easily cost a buck fifty if we built more grids that changed how we consume energy, moreover, that produces clean, green energy? What could you do with your money if you had more of it that could be allocated to other expenses including the possibility of even having disposable income, if the greater sum of your check was not being squandered by your gas or energy bill?

Fact is, the world energy consumption for these resources will continue to rise by almost 50% as denoted in the photo below. If we do not work to build zero-carbon emissions and excise our consumption by then, we could wake up to a world-wide black-out or brown-out with no access to your bank funds or no way to buy food or water because all of the grocer’s shelves would be empty. Computerized systems would be crashed. Transportation would cease operations. The ramifications of this global domino-effect have not even begun to be enumerated here…

In order to abate this dismal outlook, let’s stop in our tracks right where we are and reconsider the little things we do to contribute the problem. While we are at it, let’s consider some solutions too. Consider using green energy and start convincing everyone you encounter to do the same. As we increase our demand for clean, green energy, it will birth new technologies that will help create zero-carbon emissions and make it affordable for everyone, including those in Third-World countries.

I implore you to roll up your sleeves and get in the trenches with green energy. It is time for us to love the planet back as it has sustained us…it sustained us even during times when its resources were pillaged for commodities and greed. It nurtured us and gave us life, life that unite each of us and connect us at every level. It is our choice. It’s your choice. Switching to green energy is easy. Having an opportunity to increase green energy awareness and your income is also a choice you can make to learn to market green energy.

This is how we stand and unite our voices to demand a better world that loves the Earth and each other. Green energy is the best badge of love you can share with everyone you meet. Get involved.

The photos depicts the Cowboys Stadium Tour. The enormity of the stadium is majestic in and of itself. Its exquisiteness is overwhelming. Each locker for the Cowboys and Cowboys Cheerleaders are made from some type of wood imported from Africa and cost $9000 each to construct. The tourists were given instructions not to sit or stand on the lockers. They knew that the temptation would ensue due to the fact that the long walk around Cowboys Stadium would have your feet barking and whimpering like dogs, lol. But it’s all good and it was a wonderfully AMAZING experience.

Cowboys Stadium served excellent gourmet cuisine although informed that a guest could order anything from a PB&J to lobster bisque to bouillabaisse, handcrafted by world-class, 5-star chefs.

To make an already wonderful experience even greater, guests can stay at anyone of the 300 suites on site. I noticed the Legend Suites, The Ring of Honor Suites and the Star Suites offset through the architecture of the stadium so as to be hidden away from the main centrality and activities of the stadium.

Hosting the Texas Green Energy Launch Event at Cowboys Stadium brought with it empowerment, excitement and a new avenue to creating a better environment through implementation of green energy. The best part is that the experience left indelible life-time memories that serves as a benchmark to rise to the next level.

DALLAS, TEXAS was all abuzz with the advent of the new green energy launch at Cowboys Stadium approaching. For three months, everyone that was in the loop in Independence Energy Alliance (IEA) prepared and positioned themselves for the awesome opportunity to come—that is, opening the avenue for consumers and businesses to promote and use green energy in Texas.

The astounding excitement electrified the atmosphere. Everyone that was there were in great expectation of something big happening, of course, it did. The grand introduction filled the stage with energetic, skillful dancers that took an already electrically charged atmosphere to the next level. (See video below.)

Once the dancers gracefully left the stage, Chet Seely, Founder and Co-manager of Independence Energy Alliance gave a motivational pep-talk, reminding us of the value of not being complacent with the missing pieces in our lives. He imparted the vision of how green energy will revolutionize our lives and the world around us. He touched on important issues such as Texas being the NUMBER ONE consumer of energy in our country, If Texas was a country, Texas would be the NUMBER FIVE consumer of energy in the world. Then ending on a positive note, singers were presented to the stage, as you will see below. Also note Chet Seely, as well.

The meeting progressed to presenting $10K and $20K Power Play winners with big checks! Truly the most inspiring and momentous insight on what can be accomplished in the green energy industry when one goes after it. See the photos below.

The intermission greets us as we go out to the Cowboys Stadium and have delicious gourmet lunch. Here, I was with my friend Jayson Arfmann who had me in stitches with his jokes. While he and I had lunch, the overview of the stadium was filled with youth activities and after school games. I took the liberty to film the high definition video screen that measures at 160 feet wide and 72 feet high, as designed by Mitsubishi. The video screen is purported to be the largest video screen in the world. It can be lowered to 20 yards above each 20 yard line of the football field, made of artificial turf.

Cowboys Stadium, built 50 feet below ground level with seating capacity of 80,000 with the capacity of 110,000. With six levels of platforms with varying vantage points from field level to the upper level, sports fans can choose among different amenities and levels of entertainment from exterior seating to interior enclosures accompanied with air-conditioning or heating, area restaurants and special concessions areas. The stadium design lends great entertainment flexibility with its enormous capacity. It is truly an awe-inspiring experience. The videos below do not justly capture the experience, but you can review them below.

This is a continuation of the video above filming of the video screen with fans expressing their love for the Cowboy’s, America’s Team.

This is myself sending a love greeting to my fiancé, Barrett Duran, from Cowboys Stadium. I had to film the video from inside the car since it was raining and very windy outside. Although it rained, it was a very magical day. I met great people of influence who are movers and shakers in the industry.

The Cowboys Stadium Tour and Texas Green Energy Launch Event was simply AWESOME! See the rest of it here with photos included right here.
