The beginning

I haven’t worked with adult offers before. But once I found out that they work better than other offers on the market. That moment I have already worked with Leadbit, that’s why asked my personal manager to give me a piece of advice and tell me the most profitable GEO and offers. The manager tells that Maxisize in Vietnam is the best!

Before to start I decided to spy and check what creatives and what links colleagues use to promote this offer. On the first page of Adplexity I found the link, that my manager told to try. That’s why I decided to test it on FB.

There I was looking for the competitors creatives and found some ideas which would work on FB.

I have worked with Adplexity for a long time and I have tried different ways of spying but for me Adplexity is the best one – more reliable and I’m sure that this guys provide more useful information. I always use their pre-landing pages and banners, it takes some time to adapt them for FB but then I get super conversion. I recommend!

Also, it’s easy to find the promotional codes with the discount, usually Adplexity or Leadbit managers give them easily.

Creatives

Of course, I became a victim of FB ban, but one of my accounts was safe and was working well. But I spent a lot of time to get it. I’ve tested different options but I stopped only at bright and short creatives without dirty signs. Also, I have changed the pre-landing page and used the neutral approach.

To sum up

Some creatives was working but the best one was this one which is above. The price of lead was about $3 for nice conversion and result it’s ok.

Talking about approve, the manager was right, approve in Vietnam was more than 60%, that made me happy.

Some statistics from Leadbit

I liked working with adult offers. They are really more profitable. To promote it on FB was quite difficult but nothing is impossible. I think that every day it’ll become more and more difficult but everybody loves a risk!

I’m sure that spy tool services can facilitate your work and make your life easier on the preparatory phase. You can see the creatives which your competitors use and understand what works better. When the traffic is expensive and every lead is gold, every mistake can be the last.

Don’t waste your time! Analyze your work!
