Salute to all of you, dear friends!
iMonetizeIt team is happy to be in touch with you to share relevant and up-to-date information.
So make yourselves comfortable, because we'd like to talk about this... We know very clearly that there is one social network, which you very quickly and dramatically fell in love with. You direct your traffic exclusively there (no wonder, because it shows just a cosmic ROI), because as the old saying goes: "Strike while the iron is hot." and we fully support this idea!
There is no sense in describing what this social network is, what it is famous for, and what makes it so attractive, so let's get right to the point.
Today we would like to touch upon the theme of Tik-Tok and its new restrictions, which "shocked" all affiliate marketing. Everything is done for the purpose to make people switch to TikTok Ads and promote their content for a fee (acting in the footsteps of the "best" facebook).
That's why now most of the major Affiliate Programs that accept traffic from TikTok, propose their “Agents Ads Managers” in TikTok (provide free or a % of the total profits).
What is an Agent Ads Manager? It's a special TikTok account that is provided to affiliates, so that you can advertise your traffic without too much stress. In case you set up TikTok Ads, you'll probably have to fight with moderators, pay VAT (if you can't bypass it), be afraid of bans, etc. Everything is done for your convenience:
- you will not have to pay additional VAT,
- trust accounts,
- in practice we see a good stats without blocking,
- accounts in advance have already been moderated by Tik-Tok, respectively, they can safely advertise traffic,
- if you don’t break the rules of the TikTok, then the account will operate for a long time
Let's move closer to the case and take a look at the Advertising Manager (AM) and its specific features.
At the moment, the launch of the AM in Tik-Tok looks in 3 formats:
- Brand Takeover. Creativity is displayed when a user enters the application (displaying an image for up to 3 seconds, a video for up to 5 seconds).
- In-feed Native Video. The format is similar to promotional posts in other social networks - your creative is shown in a feed along with other videos and users can leave a reaction (like, comment).
- Hashtag Challenge. Here you can come up with your own challenge, and TikTok will make a separate hashtag in the menu for it.
Creating and optimizing TikTok Advertising Campaign processes
- The market and the "formula for success"
TikTok Ads (just like Facebook and Twitter) are based on an auction model, considering bid size, the Ad targeting, the intended target audience and the competition. Usually the focus is on improving metrics such as CVR (use more creative content that matches the app or target URL) and CTR (test more creatives) to attract more traffic to the campaign.
The formula is as follows:
– Algorithm training
The first few days of algorithm training are very important in TikTok, because if the Ad group does not get good results during this period, it will be impossible to get them later. Any change in targeting or bid changes the learning period (requires more time to adapt), so the solution is to change the bid/budget.
Important: You should not change your bid more than once every 2 days.
– Low price or manual bid
iMonetizeIt team recommends using both options when promoting traffic to TikTok. If you choose manual bidding, it’s worth creating 2 or more ad groups with different bids.
Important: We highly recommend running tests up to $5. For what? To see how creatives and ad manager work. Also, make a minimal financial loss.
Free traffic in TikTok
Let’s get to the most interesting: how to get traffic from TikTok without investing?
Due to recent restrictions and updates of TikTok, the account must have 1000 subscribers to activate a business account now, and after that it also needs to be verified. Be warned! You’ll have to work hard as much as you did with Facebook or Google UAC, but this source with organic free traffic is worth it.
1) Difficulties
Right now it’s a huge challenge to get subscribers. If you’re aiming for “free traffic” in TT, you’ll have to make a lot of effort. There are a few tricks, because of which the account is farmed pretty quickly, but still, it’s going to take some time (practice shows that on average, under favorable conditions, the account reach 1000 subscribers for 3 days):
- today there are many lives, where people have a rule of “subscription for subscription”, a kind of follow to follow, but there is a high chance that after the live broadcast you will be unsubscribed, because you did not sign any contracts, which will be very sad,
- we can go live to increase our followers, but in this situation everyone faces another problem: the fear of live broadcasts, no desire, no understanding of what content you need to broadcast. There is a way out of this just the same: conventionally, you can broadcast to the monitor PC, good examples in the TikTok itself is enough, so you need to be smart, allocate time and set a real goal. Recently, we have noticed how farming Dating accounts with a bit of strange airs, but if it works, then why not?
- you can have a fairly small amount (in the range of $30), connect to agent Ads manager and never have to worry. This way you will save time and nerves, but our promotion is no longer free, so the choice is yours.
The iMonetizeIt team wants to close this issue:
Social network content is promoted in the country in which the account is registered. Use an anti-detect browser with a proxy or simply disable geo-tracking on your phone when registering an account (if you register via smartphone). If all was successful, you will see a video in the language of the desired geo in the recommendations. Accordingly, targeting the U.S. in this way, our video is visible to residents of this country, thereby in the case of promoting the campaign we monetize them specifically.
3) Warming up accounts.
It does not matter: you buy your accounts or farm by yourself – take a week to warm up.You need to upload 2-3 videos a day with attractive girls ( no matter if you’re going to continue advertising on Casual Dating or mainstream Dating offers). Just beautiful girls without any erotic content is ideal, as you can catch a decline in activity and a shadow ban (which we don’t want, and there is no way out of this situation yet).
4) Creative works.
There are three ways to do this, and all of them are easy to do.
1) use a photo or video for 6-7 seconds of attractive girls. In this case, just add text and be sure to note that you can meet via a link in the description, also in the video itself can add a call to action, like: “Let’s get to know each other?” and some information: name, age, nationality, etc.
Example:
2) select story clips (for example, a cut from the beginning of ***ZZ*** videos) that do not show anything provocative, but it is obvious what will happen next. And also in comments or in the video we point out that the continuation is waiting at the link in bio
Example:
3) adjusting to trends and showing content that is becoming popular or has already achieved viral: a variety of challenges + viral music.
Example:
Important! Don’t forget about the music in the video, since TikTok is an entertainment social network and the algorithms are much better at promoting videos with at least some sound than without any sound at all. It’s ideal if you select music from the top charts in iTunes or Spotify.
To help you understand that you shouldn’t download to your creos, we provide community rules for creatives and forbidden content, which are best to follow.
General tips and advice from the iMonetizeIt team
- Use thematic hashtags below the video (#girl, #blond, #fyp, #viral).
- It’s best to upload videos no more than once every 2 hours. If you upload a new video every 30 minutes, there’s a good chance you’ll end up in a shadow ban.
- Do not close comments, because any activity gives a big push to recommendations.
- TikTok traffic requires multi-stage funnels. You can take a user to a closed Instagram, Snapchat, preland, warm up and push them there, moving him to the right offer.
- TikTok likes to promote videos with any trending challenges. Another example, relevant to the actuality of Dating offers, we give below:
iMonetizeIt team believes that TikTok is a very promising source for affiliate marketing. If you learn how to work with it, you can easily get ROI over 150%. approach can be adapted to any GEO, improve and scale. If there is high activity on the videos, the algorithms actively recommend videos to users, which increases our profit.
In the next guide, we’ll show you in detail how to set up a pixel in Tiktok Ads to get even better sampling statistics. But for now we’ll leave you with an easy practice, so that you can read and implement your knowledge:
1) Read up on all the general TikTok information, and be sure to learn the rules of creo + the rules of forbidden content.
2) Try to make, or make a unique a video using one of our three creative approaches and upload it to TikTok, so you can already have an idea of what the viewer is getting and start building your army of subscribers.
3) Subscribe to iMonetizeIt to get knowledge and don’t miss out on new and exciting features.
