ARE FANBOX ADS WORTH THE INVESTMENT?

I've been asked this question several times by a lot of the new people here on Fanbox. Here's my take on the ads...

When I first started using Fanbox, I didn't use the ads until I had some money in my Fanbox bank. The reason for this is because I didn't want to invest my own money until I knew for sure that Fanbox was the real deal and that I could make money from my blogs. I was very skeptical about this whole thing because it all sounded too good to be true. 

To my surprise, I earned $10.60 on my very first day. I'm not exactly sure how this happened. All I did was write a blog (which took about 10 minutes) and linked it to my Facebook account for my existing friends to see. According to what I've read on Fanbox, each time you write a new blog it also gets posted on the main feed so you also get free advertisement that way. In addition to taking 10 minutes to write my blog, I took about 20 minutes my first day just reading through other people's advice on how to use this Fanbox thing. Johnny Cash's advice to be exact. I also took a look at the top income earner's blogs to check out their writing style and topics...but also to check out the wording of their blogs.

Very nice post, I have also noticed that my daily earnings have dropped a lot due to new payment system. I hope fanbox does something to make it more fruitful, but it will be due to our suggestions and blogs like this. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy blogging :D

When did you join FanBox? I didn't do anything from the end of March to about a week ago and earned about $30 in a week. I created 2 blogs and 2 ads paid for by Fanbox starter money. Since I started writing blogs and advertising with my own $, I have made about $3. My fans went from 8 to over 20 this past week. I post links on my Facebook account and I know people read my blogs by clicking those links and then clicking like on Facebook. FanBox is such a complete mystery when it comes to figuring out how to have success.

You have done a great job. I have been wondering when the leaders joined to see if there has been some type of explosion for the leaders during a certain date range. I only joined a few days before you, but didn't do anything with it then.

It seemed money was being made quickly for new people then, but now it's getting harder for new people. I would consider myself a new person since I only started using fanbox recently on a regular basis. The money isn't flowing like it did the first week for me, and my original blogs were of no real value to anyone. I was #1 in golf tournaments and had 8 fans. I bet I invented that category when I wrote my blog. Last week I created about 16 new blog topics and a total of around 40 posts to go with those topics. I have been earning about 1 penny every day since I actively started blogging. Hopefully something will change for the positive soon.

It would be nice if there was something to tell us how many views our blogs and posts have actually gotten. Even our ads manager only shows a click % instead of how many clicks. I hope Fanbox comes up with a way to be more helpful for people who want to spend their money on advertising and want to see how effective their efforts are.

You know something Rose, when I was on 360 something that has closed down now, I got some one hundred over friends, but most of us are now scattered all over social networks. I am still in contact some some, around 10 or so. Over there we were coming up with all kinds of interesting blogs that were flowing like water. It was really fun and we really had great company. Looking back, how nice if it were Fanbox. How nice to get together again over here and start remaking our blogs....

For the moment, I am quite stuck and not making much progress. Your blog has done a great deal to re-boost my interest and re-position myself here. Cheers to you and to everyone.

@ Dan: It looks like you are definitely an eloquent writer so the blogging part will be no problem for you. But I think on these types of social networks it's not just about the skill in writing, it's also letting the people on these sites get a sense of you as a person. If you don't mind me saying, I think you'd have more success if you posted a photo of yourself at least.
