What HAS Craig been up to lately???

Well, getting my business stuff going again!  I left a teaser in one of the working/decent living threads so here is the first of a few planned niche eCommerce stores that I'm putting together:
 
https://pif-loves-bluetooth.com/
 
It just went officially live!
 
There are still a few tweaks left to do with the pricing and some descriptions, but the targeted ads will be starting soon.
 
Hopefully, I will be able to afford some nice gear soon!  (Right after a car, a new place to live, hearing aids for my Mom, etc. - Heh...)  

 
Time for all of you to head over to Beyond My DAW!

I guess Facebook doesn't want me to make any money yet.  They've frozen my ad account (which happens too much for several reasons, mine is simply because the page is too new).  Anyway, they're screwing up my timing since they want a copy of a bank statement showing my name and the credit card on file but, since the card is new, I don't have one yet.  Hopefully my monthly statement will arrive tomorrow...  Bastages!

That's weird, I've advertised on Facebook a lot and don't recall them ever wanting a copy of a bank statement, and I started advertising from day 1 of my page creation. Maybe they changed it. By the way keep a close eye on the metrics and stats of your ad campaign - I once started a campaign to generate likes and I specifically targeted New Yorkers and within a 10 mile radius. 2000 likes later and I started noticing that most of them were coming out of Mexico, and of course those likes are useless because they're not local, not potential customers and never engage with anything on your page. Facebook basically ripped me off. I complained about it but as you can imagine never got a response - like Google, Facebook sees itself as this giant automated monolith which deals with customer complaints and questions by referring you to generic help documents.

My restriction was lifted earlier today so my engagement campaign has restarted, but I need to get the "real" ads (for conversion) going (might be tonight).  There are nine ways that I've read about to get your ad account suspended and one is simply to have too new of a Facebook account with credit card attached.

Thankee. 
 
I'm following a tried-and-true program (i.e., training from guys who make over $12 million per year doing this type of thing - I have much smaller goals for now!).
 
I'm already thinking of what my next niche might be.  I thought of Becan naturally, but I'd probably eat all the profits...

Here's the companion Facebook business page.  Since I don't use Facebook for personal stuff, I'm having to learn how to use their site!  Some weird stuff there.

Well, it's REALLY official now!  I only started running ads on two products earlier today and...  JUST got my first order! 
 
I've even already started the fulfillment process (actually, my part is now done!).
 
Next, a few thousand more...
