2 years ago I had around low $x,xxx to my name, worked a shitty $8/an hour a job but had the drive to succeed. I first started with FB ads, lost a few hundo but then I eventually found a campaign that worked. Spent $50 made $150 back in my pocket, etc, etc.. I doubled that up again and again over and over again hundreds of times.
Since then I've generated millions of dollars in revenues mostly all with Facebook ads alone. I have never looked back, Facebook is a beast! The volume is there and still to this day so are the ROIs!
Good luck!
word. what kind of ads? affiliate network?
