35 CommentsFor those of you who are not advertising on Facebook already (and even if you are) and want to give it a try, now there is a completely free way to test the waters.
As part of the Visa Business promotion, Visa are offering $100 USD in advertising credit to facebook users/advertisers. To get the free credit all you need to do is…
Update: We are now offering $100 to one lucky fan of our Facebook page each month. Simply “like” our page for more details.
Click here to enter our monthly $100 Facebook advertising coupon code giveaway.
Log into facebook and add the Visa Business Network App. Once added, Facebook will send you a coupon code with instructions on how to add the credit to your account.Perfect if you want to test the waters on facebook and perfect if you’re already spending a fortune with them. There’s more to PPC than just the big three :)
Seems like Alexia was WAY ahead of me finding this. Also, Master Mulley is running a competition for the best stats on a facebook campaign. Have a look!
UPDATE *** You can now receive this free facebook advertising code credit by following the instructions here.

Nice find, thanks for sharing Dave. I just signed up, will let you know how it goes.

I added the Visa Business Network App but never got a email or a msg with the coupon. How long does it take to get the coupon code?

Love the advice and the blog, good to see you back with a new post. What has been your experience with advertising on Facebook? To me it seems as if users would just tune out all of the banners/ads becuase people are so engaged in their social community. I mean banner ads are pretty much dead as a viable advertising platform as a whole these days.
Don’t get me wrong, we still run huge online media campaigns with banner ads of all shapes and sizes for clients but they are definitely not nearly as effective as they used to be.

Never really thought about about trying Facebook for advertising. Though I guess it is worth a shot if it’s free. It will make an intresting experiment at least

Thanks for the link, Sally :)

Thanks for the heads up. I *still* haven’t really got into Facebook yet, so I would never have found out about this. Something for nothing is always good :)

Aren’t Facebook already syndicating Google Ads to an extent? I know if you type in any of my sites I’m advertising they’ll at least pop up under mails sent via Facebook?

Thanks – Will give it a try, but I wonder given the stats I’ve seen on click through on FaceBook if I will get much for $100, but good to get a go for nothing. Cheers.

Excellento ! $100 should get a nice few leads all right. I’ve never used FaceBook Ads, but I like the idea about being able to drill down to the demographics. Damien has a nice guide to it here : http://www.mulley.net/2007/11/21/how-to-advertise-on-facebook-a-perspective-from-ireland/

John : I applied and got my confirmation almost instantly. You should get an email with the voucher code. Maybe you should remove it and try again. (sorry about 2nd post, feel free to merge them)
July 4th, 2008 at 11:48 am
Cheers for the $100 Dave :) no idea if I’ll get around to using it but still handy to have the option
July 4th, 2008 at 4:37 pm
@John, you don’t even need to fill out your profile. I got the mail within seconds of adding the app.
@Organic SEO Consultant, I ahve found that the work well in some verticals and not as well in others. You just have to jump in and see.
@Sally, You’re welcome. (was going to unlink your comment).
@Janine, go for it! Damien’s competition is more than enough incentive!
@Aisling, no, Google have nothing to do with facebook or their ad serving.
@James, no probs but it’s not me that’s giving it away ;) Handy if you want to get some quick traffic to something or want to test a new affiliate offer.

You can also get $50 free in Yahoo! Search Marketing with a new domain purchase on Yahoo! Small Business. Free is good!

hi
thanks for sharing us this valuable information

Hello, Thank you for the coupon. Before i jump in to the offer, would you happen to know what are the requirements to join? would facebook marketing work for attorneys?
August 12th, 2008 at 9:01 pm
I love facebook adds as the ability to tighten in on a specific demographic is great for me. That said I was thrilled at a $100 coupon. But I have not gotten an email? I installed the applications, but no coupon code. How long does this take?

It seems that Visa is encoutering some troubles with e-mails…
October 8th, 2008 at 3:15 am
That’s a great find. I just signed up for the application and already received a credit.

Just started with my first Facebook ad two days ago. Although CTR is abysmal, that is not surprising considering that the ads are demo-targeted rather than keyword-targeted. But the good news is that they were still able to send me my maximum number of clicks per day, and the traffic has a much lower bounce rate than Google AdWords traffic.

Hi,
Once in a while I get these promotions, however I usually don’t use them since I always have the sensation that one will be prompt with requests to sign for this and for that.
Maybe that’s why my promotions don’t work that well either :-)
best regards,
José

Awesome. Just saved me $100.
Another place to get a Facebook coupon is Godaddy. Order an eligible product and you get a $50 Facebook ad credit. I believe it’s only for new accounts though.
December 17th, 2008 at 12:39 pm
I dont believe, these coupons work perfect. Instead, these are all big companies’ craps, with what they collect the datas of people… Free coupons in any case are used for non-targeted advertisements out of understanding…
January 1st, 2009 at 7:02 pm
Awesome thanks, going to use these later, should get my website a few new members! Does anyone know if this offer can be used more than once? Or if there are any strings attached?
January 2nd, 2009 at 4:44 am
I followed the link “Visa Business Network App”… The certificate was there. 100 dollar ad credit… Funny, ive never heard of you you or your website before, ive read 4 of your post so far and ive come to the following conclusion… Your Good.
March 14th, 2009 at 12:55 pm
$100 !!! that’s a big amount. I am going to add Visa Business Network App in my facebook account now. thanks for the information and links.

Is this available in New Zealand? I cannot have access of this application here. It doesn’t show up in application list in NZ.
April 7th, 2009 at 7:09 am
Hi I think this could be a great way to get people started but I didn’t get my email either! how long do we have to wait for it… Most sites now are automatic!
April 13th, 2009 at 7:40 am
FYI. The Visa Business Network App.-offer has ended March 18th 2009.
July 16th, 2009 at 6:52 pm

Hope this helps.

A hundred bucks is a nice tidy amount to test the Facebook waters, and see if you get any results…I’m game to give it a try. Although, I’ve heard that Facebook has been placing a lot of restrictions on their PPC marketers lately.
August 8th, 2009 at 12:39 am
Thank you, I already redeemed $100 successfully from Visa Business Network Facebook apps. Thats cool :)
September 20th, 2009 at 10:58 pm
I tried facebook advertising in August. For $8, I received 16 very targeted clicks; one of whom converted into a customer. The profit of that one customer was thousands of times greater than the investment.
September 24th, 2009 at 2:36 pm
I got excited reading your article, only to be cooled off at the end with your update that the offer has ended. But I thank you for at least I learned of another way to get free advertising and I will now search for similar ways on Google (maybe Mastercard will be offering one soon, too)
