Hey there! I want to share my journey towards (potential) wealth through Facebook traffic arbitrage.
The gist of arbitrage is simple: buy traffic cheap, sell it high. My non-negotiable rule is to avoid using stolen accounts (logs) and cards. Everything else is fair game
I decided to dive into the iGaming niche, targeting Latin America.
For a couple of months, I read everything I could find—forums, Telegram channels, and even attended relevant expos. I have zero experience in this field but about $10,000 that I'm willing to invest in my learning process. By "learning," I mean trial and error. I checked out some paid courses, but they all seemed to have inflated promises, fake reviews, and sponsored articles. In the end, I stuck with a free course on FBKill, which I read multiple times.
My initial plan was to focus on creating funnels and outsource the rest. A funnel is a "sales pipeline" starting with a Facebook banner ad and ending with a purchase.
I chose not to use spy services since they seemed overloaded with unnecessary features. I also skipped TDS (traffic direction systems) and cloaking. To better understand how buyers think and what objections arise in the sales funnel, I decided to personally interact with them via messengers and try closing deals myself. This is also known as traffic handling.
To view Facebook banners, I used the Facebook Ads Library. After a week of browsing, I found a video banner designer and ordered five videos: two inspired by ones I liked and three of my own creation. I spent $150 on this. Then, I rented Facebook accounts remotely and started buying traffic.
### Case 1:
I created a Telegram channel, boosted it to 5,000 followers, posted a welcome message, and got 2,000 likes (bots only). The group was about "tips on winning at casinos." The sales funnel was: Facebook Banner - Linktr.ee - Telegram group page - Casino. The Facebook banner offered free casino winning tips. I bought $50 worth of traffic from Facebook.
**Expenses:**
- $150 for 5 banners
- $50 for FB traffic
-$20 for Telegram bot subs and likes
- **Total:** -$220
**Results:**
- 700 clicks
- 0 customer contacts
- **Revenue:** $0
**Conclusion:**
Even though I saw others using this scheme successfully, it didn’t work for me. I decided to shorten the user path by using WhatsApp instead of Telegram. My goal now is to get a few real customers interested in my offer.
### Case 2:
I revamped the funnel to: Facebook Banner - WhatsApp account - Casino. On WhatsApp, I planned to send a single long message with a registration link to the casino. The Facebook banner again offered free casino winning tips. To set up WhatsApp, I bought an old Gmail account for $10, rented a SIM card for WhatsApp for $10, used a SOCKS server for $5, and downloaded the Chinese Android emulator Memu. I created a WhatsApp business account and launched the traffic campaign. Finally, real people started messaging me on WhatsApp!
I got leads and replied to each one with something like, “To win, do this, get this bonus, and register here.” I customized messages with names and gender-specific details. I managed to reply to 20 people, getting 2 registrations but no deposits. WhatsApp then blocked my account after 60 people contacted me. I retained 20 phone numbers and names; the rest were lost. Facebook charged me $40.
**Expenses:**
- $10 for Gmail account
- $10 for SIM rental
- $5 for SOCKS server (monthly)
- $40 for FB traffic
- **Total:** -$285
**Results:**
- 20 customer contacts
- **Revenue:** $0
**Conclusion:**
I believe some customers reported me, leading to my WhatsApp account being banned. Therefore, I need to smooth out the sales funnel to prevent complaints. I also need to create a group where people can see likes and previous messages. Essentially, I need a Telegram group featuring an influencer with flashy photos, likes, and videos.
### Case 3:
With my first WhatsApp number banned, I had to set up another one, costing me $20. I decided to reuse the old banners. I modified the Telegram group from Case 1 to be a personal group of a "successful beauty from Beverly Hills." I used Instagram photos of a U.S. influencer, showcasing a glamorous lifestyle with thousands of likes on each. Additionally, I found and downloaded a few YouTube videos where a scammer plays Fortune Tiger and wins using a "unique bug."
The plan: Facebook users go to WhatsApp, where I invite them to a free video session showing how to play. If they agree, I ask them to install Telegram and join the group. In the group, I announce a live stream (which is actually a pre-recorded video) of my “student” playing and winning. After the stream, I share a link to register at the casino using my affiliate link.
I'll update you tomorrow with the results of this new approach!
