What Is FB Academy About – my review

Welcome to my review on What Is FB Academy About.

I have a lot of experience in Facebook advertising so when I came across this program I had to do a review on it just to see if it’s legit or not.

First, let me congratulate you on taking the action to complete your own research before taking action. This step no doubt will save you a lot of money and time in the long run.

In this review, I will share with you everything you need to know about this training and the chances you have of making money with it.

Let me be clear here, building an online business as an affiliate marketer is real and is relatively easy to do providing you have the correct training program.

As I have pointed out in my bio I’ve spent a fair amount of time and money researching a lot of products to find the right one that worked best for me which I share with you in all my reviews.

Just so you know, I am not associated with FB Academy in any way. I am just sharing my honest opinion here with you so you have a better foundation on basing your decision.

Let’s dive in and determine if this training is worth your time and money…

Is FB Academy A Scam

Name: FB Academy

Owner: Anik Singal

Product: Affiliate Marketing via Facebook advertising

 

Before I can answer that question I think there are a few important facts to look at first.

FB Academy users advertise on Google and Facebook platforms.

Also, keep in mind you don’t know if the amount of money the owner claims to have made is true.

As well, how much he made has no relation to how much you or I can make with it.

When someone makes a claim “You will make 100 dollars a day in 3 days” only indicates to me they are not being honest with you because they can’t say how much you will make.

Keep in mind that most of the Make Money Training programs have exaggerated claims.

Anik Singal is the founder of FB Academy. His training is designed in helping you to make money by advertising on Facebook. I specify helping because again there’s no guarantee that you will make money with it.

FB Academy has been around since 2017 so it’s still a relatively new product at the time when I wrote this review. However, today FB advertising has lost its appeal to many advertisers today due to their quickness to shut your ads down especially if they are doing well. Yes, you did hear that right.

The whole training program teaches you to sell products on Facebook by writing ads. To me this is not enough of a program for anyone to make money.

 

Who Can Benefit From FB Academy

FB Academy is a Facebook ad copy training program that teaches you how to advertise on Facebook.

Unless you are planning on advertising on Facebook I don’t believe you will gain enough knowledge to build a successful business just with their training.

In my opinion from my experience, I believe you will have a difficult time selling anything on Facebook if it’s related to:

• Make money online
• lose weight or buy a magic pill
• anything with Bitcoin

And therefore I don’t recommend this training and especially if you’re new to affiliate marketing.

I believe those that benefit the most from Facebook advertising are those that have their own established business whether that be online or a brick-n-mortar. That is if they use it to drive more traffic by placing ads on Facebook.

 

The Training

FB Academy has been around since 2017. At the time of this review, it was considered to be a relatively new product but not today. If you still find it for sale today I would be surprised because it’s not a quality training product in my opinion.

When it comes to FB advertising there are a lot of better products out there but I personally would not recommend FB advertising at all.

FB changes their policy so frequently that any training should be relative to the year you are taking the training, anything else is outdated.

It is clearly stated in this training it is 2017 which may not be up to date with today’s Facebook policy. Facebook doesn’t ask questions, they just shut you down.

He claims he can easily teach anyone to advertise on Facebook. This depends on:

1. what you are advertising
2. how long you have been advertising on Facebook
3. the amount of money you spend on advertising

Writing simple ad copy and placing it on Facebook is one thing but to make money with it, there is a whole lot more involved.

Copy His Winning Ad

According to Anik, he will give you his ad copy so you can duplicate his success:

1. First, no one will give away their WINNING ad copy (would you?).
2. Ad copy does die out, you will be getting his old ad copy that doesn’t pull anymore and besides, he would have given it to everyone else as well.
3. You can’t copy someone else’s ad and expect it to work, it needs to be New and Yours
4. Facebook doesn’t allow ad copy, they shut down all ads that show up multiple times.

He claims that he got started back in 2016 with $20 and made it all back in a week.

Yes, this could be true because back in 2016 you could have started with 20 bucks but not today:

• Not only has Facebook cracked down on all the false claims, that were used back then but also the people are becoming more educated about the amount of fraud they are exposed to.
• People are learning not to trust what they see or hear and are learning to research for more answers. There are a lot more people today fighting back by exposing fake programs by using blogs like this one.
• The competition has gone up so it costs more to advertise today on Facebook and when they shut you down you don’t get your money back.

The Affordable Price

The price of $697 is very affordable for any program to learn Facebook ad copy but…

… you will quickly learn the cost of the training is pennies compared to the cost of advertising on Facebook.

Yes, you will have to spend between 50 and 100 bucks on Facebook advertising costs… A DAY, every day.

You will need to have your own sales funnel already built or this course will be a waste of time for you.

As an example, I spent a week trying to figure out why Facebook shut one of my ads off. Finally, after a week they responded to me and said, “Sorry for the inconvenience, it was our mistake”. Sure they turned it back on again but it’s not that simple.

When Facebook turns off your working ad it KILLS it. The algorithm that Facebook uses stops working and no longer performs the same way.

There are more affordable, long term and more effective programs available but it can be difficult trying to determine which ones are legit.

I wrote a short article called “How To Know a Scam” that I would recommend for you to read to learn the signs of a scam.

FB Academy Community

They have a community to request assistance from other seasoned entrepreneurs is pretty much like many of the other programs advertising on Facebook.

The success rate of those making money is very low at 2%.

You end up with the majority of the people trying to help others and are still learning themselves.

Everyone tries their best to offer help to the best of their knowledge but you can clearly see there is a lot of frustration within the group. Most of that frustration is due to dealing with Facebook shutting them down.

Within the community you can:

• Chat in the group
• Share links for others to view your ad
• It may take some time to get a response but you usually get one

 

Website Platform & Hosting

They don’t have their own platform or hosting program and all the extra software has to be purchased separately, adding extra expenses to the already overpriced training.

If you don’t have a business setup or a sales funnel then you will need extra training just for that or this program is a waste of time and money.

I already covered a lot about the extra programs you will need. You can go read about them here…

Conclusion

What Is FB Academy About is not considered a scam for the following reasons:

1. They do offer a training program that will teach you all about Facebook advertising
2. They work with you to help create your ad and place it on Facebook
3. They have biweekly live webinars to attend for extra training (most have weekly)

Just because they covered all the basics of what is required to be considered legit does not prevent it from being a scam in those that spend the time and money to really find out what they truly offer.

If you decide to go ahead with this training then:

1. Expect a low success rate because you’re dealing with Facebook.
2. Expect a low success rate if you don’t have a landing page or any other training to go with it.
3. FB Academy spends hundreds of thousands of dollars on Facebook ads, don’t expect the same results if you only spend 20 bucks a day on advertising.

He has a “No Refund Policy” – you have to pay to find out if it’s for you. I don’t like this type of training because where’s the incentive to work with you. Once they got your money they can walk away or pretend to help you as many do.

If you want to learn Facebook advertising and you’re on a budget then yes I could recommend this training. Keep in mind you are only getting Facebook training which is free to learn right from Facebook Blueprint Certification Crse.

Looking to advertise on Facebook to draw traffic to your website or to your brick-n-mortar store? Perhaps then this may be ok for you.
