Getting started with Facebook, Google, TikTok ads for affiliates

[Haze]

Right, so you wanna get into media buying on these platforms. First thing, pick a niche that actually sells, not just random offers. You need to understand your creatives, CTR is king here so test multiple angles fast. Forget fancy strategies right now, focus on building a whitelisted pixel, keep your targeting tight and keep the testing budget small till you see some traction. Once you find a good hook, scale fast.

Hard disagree on just "picking a niche that sells". That's lazy thinking. Anyone can tell you weight loss or dating sell, but if you cant make creatives that hit with CVR, all that niche talk is just noise. You gotta obsess over the hook and creative angles, not just pick a hot offer and hope. Scale fast only after you've proven your creatives crush it.

Yeah, I get that creatives matter but acting like niche doesn't set the baseline for success is a bit naive. If you pick a niche that's dead or saturated, even the sickest creative won't save you. Niche research is about finding the open spaces where your creatives can actually resonate, then craft hooks that stick. You gotta have both, not just one.

Honestly, scaffold's right but I think in the end it's about the order.

Scale fast only after you've proven your creatives crush it

You gotta start with a niche that's open and then obsess over the creative to make it work. If the niche is dead, all the creative in the world won't save you.

Honestly, I think there's a lot of overthinking about niches and creatives. In 2023, if you're relying on a "hot" niche or perfect creative, you're already behind. The real game is about razor-sharp targeting, quick iteration, and scalable systems. Pick a niche that can still be milked for volume and keep testing angles until you hit a winner. The moment you start chasing the perfect niche or creative, you're just shaving your LTV down to pennies.

Smh, scaffold, you gotta pick your battles. Yeah, niche matters but if you rely solely on that, you cope. Dead niches are just a challenge you gotta crack with the right angles and creative. You find an open space, then you go ham on the creative, but the niche still sets the base. Without that, you just throwing money at a wall. Focus on both, can't just lean on one. This is the way.

niches are just a starting point, its all about how you cloak and target. if your creatives and targeting are tight, even dead niches can turn into cash. don't overthink it, just keep testing and scaling what works.

i stand corrected but if you think the game is just razor-sharp targeting and quick iteration you clearly haven't seen the scale some of us are doing with dead niches. just saying, the niche is the foundation, not an afterthought

creatives are just part of the puzzle imo CTR is all about the angle and hook not just the visuals. test different headlines, offers, and messaging fast, see what sticks. check your landing page too, that can kill CTR if its off.

Let me unpack that for you, sure niche is a start but if your tracking is off or your attribution model is weak then you just chasing ghosts and scaling dead ends you need server-side tracking and proper attribution if you want to really scale in 2024 otherwise you just spinning your wheels and hoping for a miracle

Thanks, Amplify. I get the point, but my advice is about not overcomplicating the initial steps. Open niche, solid creative, then scale. Don't waste time chasing the perfect niche before you even have data.

Starting with those big platforms is a bit of a wild west these days, especially for affiliates. You gotta understand their rules are constantly changing and they're always tightening the screws. My advice is to focus on building a solid pre-lander that warms up the traffic before sending them to the main offer. That way you stay a step ahead of the bans and get better conversion. TikTok can be a goldmine but it's also the most burned out of the bunch right now. FB and Google are more strict but still possible if you keep your landing pages compliant and avoid the banned keywords. The key is testing and iteration, not just copying some generic approach. Always keep a close eye on what works in your niche and adapt fast.

so u think the traffic from those platforms is sustainable for affiliates or just a ticking time bomb? Bet most u haven't checked the CPCs or churn rate lately.

 

[Streamline]

been there, done that. those platforms are a gamble now, especially for affiliates. CPCs keep rising and churn is brutal if you don't have a tight LP and whitelist. i saw some guys get lucky but most just burn money. better off focusing on landing page tweaks and post-click flows if you wanna get real ROI.

Honestly I think the ticking bomb idea is a bit overdone, sure CPCs are up and churn is higher but with the right angles and offers you can still crush it for a while. some guys are just throwing money at bad creatives and wonder why it burns out fast, gotta keep testing and tweaking. anyway moving on

Trust me on this one, jumping into those platforms without solid tracking and a proven angle is just asking for trouble. U gotta test small, optimize hard, and u MUST track everything with a proper tracker like Binom or Voluum. Otherwise u just guess and get rekt.

getting into ads now is like playing with fire, especially without serious tracking. Seen this movie before. Pick the right offers, keep a close eye on CPCs and CTRs, and don't burn through your budget too fast.
