POF + Peerfly (Black Elite Dating)

Hi everyone,

I have just created my first POF campaign which I am pretty excited about, I'm just waiting for it to get approved.

I am targeting a specific set of people, I am not direct linking I am sending them to a presell page to try and convince them that this dating site is for them. I have created loads of creatives.

The thing is I don't have a huge budget and don't want to waste money doing the wrong thing. Is anyone able to suggest some common mistakes POF beginners make which I can avoid on my first campaign?

Thanks!

    Well common mistake is to start with a low budget, so you can not test it hence you can't get the winning ad that will bring you the best results.

    Many times it happens that when someone reach his budget limits and see no results, he just give up and think that it doesn't work for him.

    So, better to start with more money, enough to spend it just for testing. The rest of the money invest in the winning ad.

    Hi Congrats on your first campaign, POF can be a great site to drive traffic. You are on track with testing different creatives, just make sure you narrow down your audience as much as possible. One big mistake is to target to broad, try several age groups, body types, or even children vs no children and track your results, then you can use this information to ramp up your budget, and continue to reinvest your profits until you have a big winner and then go for it. There are some good threads here on the forum for POF marketing.

    Good luck with your campaigns.

    i don't recommend you starting ad campaign with small budget.
    i would recommend that you invest this money on some other method that require less money.

    once you make some extra money go and start an ad campaign

    POF its kind of expensive for a low budget, you can go better with Bing ads , you can have more control of the campaigns

    good luck with POF tho

    It will work with low budget. But never ever give any info of the niche or targeting you are doing...

    Test the offer. If I recall, that offer asks for a LOT of personal info so may not convert.

    Always have testing campaigns.
    It doesn't matter whether you have low or high budget as long as you are able to identify effective campaigns on POF.

    Congratulations on taking action!

    Some of the main mistakes are direct linking and not using any pre-selling, killing the campaigns too soon (you have to go through an optimization process, the campaigns will never be profitable right from the first day) and split-testing just few ads (you need many variations to reach a decent CTR).

    I hope it helps!

    Do some extremely tight targeting and make sure your ads talk specifically to those you're targeting. Your volume will be low but if you do this right, you'll get a high CTR and you can get a feel for how it's performing with less ad spend....

    in my experience, any time you see a referral code on the landing page, the offer will never convert. i had about 40 clicks to an offer like this w/out a conversion.

    What do you mean by referral code?
