    Outbrain was mentioned here...

    Am wondering if anyone has used their service.

    If yes - what were the results?

    As I said before.
    "Don't use them."
    That's my opinion.

    Didn't see where you said that before.

    Have you actually used "OUTBRAIN" - or is it just an opinion?

    Definitely avoid Kickstartmyads - they did absolutely nothing - will be disputing their charge. However, Green Inbox was very useful to us!

    MathFour wrote:I agree, CompostChopper - it would be nice if folks would do a "we'll work like dogs to get you funded, then you can pay us" model. But from what I understand, statistically, most campaigns are failures. And it's not due to the lack of facebook ads.

    (I'm pretty stinkin' new to this, so I might be wrong, but that's what I've seen.)

    Assuming I'm right, that would mean that a company would have to somehow be guaranteed that you would work your tail off and do all the things you're supposed to do to be successful before going in on the deal with you. If you had them work to put the ads out and you neglected to call, email, tweet, pin, share... your own stuff, then they would be out the time AND the money.

    With their current business model, they know:

    1. They'll get paid
    2. If you do pay them, you're more likely to do your part, thus making you both look awesome.

    I doubt they'll be changing their business model anytime soon.


    I agree with you, they need to do something that is we help you reach your goal, then you pay us, maybe even automatically out of the funds raised. Not pay us first. If you don't get any funds or little funds, then you wasted money.

    I just hired them, but I don't know their value yet. I would recommend NOT buying ads from the "Facebook Marketing Queen." Her ads were certainly NOT worth the money.

    Hey There! Welcome to the forum :)

    Please let us know how effective their advertising method was, how much was spent, and the results of your ad spend. It's always interesting to hear about other experiences and keeping everyone informed about the services that are not effective is always a good thing to do as well.

    Cheers mate!


    Kind Regards,

    Actually, after reading this thread and another source outside, I called and asked them to cancel my order. They acted like it was no problem and that they wouldn't charge my credit card. I suppose the jury is out on if that is true or not. haha. I opted for a cheaper, and from what 2 others said, better option. I sent a message to all my fb friends via Green Inbox. I'll let you know how that goes.

    Cheers,
