Fanbox,

If you're going to run ads, they can be your best friend for

making money on FanBox or they can absolutely work against

you if you don't watch them.
And by watching your ads, I mean watch your ads stats under

the "Share" tab in your dashboard.
Seriously, that's all you need to do is look at your ad stats.

[update] Since the launch of Knowledge Investor, this

article has become somewhat obsolete. FanBox now

only reports one graph (click rate), so you don't need

to learning to read a Cost Per Click (CPC) or Ads Served

because those graphs are no longer part of your stats.
ALSO, I highly recommend you go back and create an

ad for every post you have and let Knowledge Investor

fund it. You still earn on the traffic driven to your posts

via ads whether you fund them or Knowledge Investor does.

FanBox runs roughly 24 hours behind on reporting earnings

and stats so I usually run an ad for 3 solid days before I

make the decision whether or not to continue funding that

particular ad.

Here's the basics on what you need to know:

Okay I'm going to show you an example of an ad that doesn't

do well and the reasons why so you learn to run successful

ads that really perform for you. Read why this ad fails.
Ready?
Okay!

Here is the ad I want to run.
I like this post - it's a great story about

a great lady that basically died unsung

and without a Nobel Peace Prize for

saving 2500 children (at least) and

she buried their personal inform

ation in jars on her property so she could

find their relatives after the war and reunite them. She was

caught, beaten, had bones broken and STILL wouldn't give

up where those jars were. Great lady with an inspiring story!

So I set up an ad, you know the drill and I set my budget to
