Free, practical guides: campaign basics, targeting, and how to measure what works. No paywall — learn at your pace, then apply with your product URLs.
Channels
Each platform has its strengths. Point every ad to a clear destination — usually your BluePay product or store URL — so checkout stays consistent.
Interest-based targeting, retargeting, and creative testing. Match your landing page to the ad promise.
Short hooks and demos scale well. Pair in-feed or Spark-style ads with organic posts for reach.
Search catches high intent; Performance Max can combine placements. Use UTMs on your BluePay links.
Comparison
Which platform fits your product, budget, and creative style best.
| Platform | Best for | Minimum budget | Creative format | Targeting strength |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Meta | Retargeting, broad audiences | ~$3–5 / day | Image, video, carousel | Excellent |
| TikTok | Gen Z, impulse products | ~$20 / day (campaign min) | Short video only | Very good |
| Search intent, known products | ~$5–10 / day | Text, display, video | Good |

Quick wins
Practical moves that consistently improve results — regardless of budget size.
Target a tight interest or lookalike first. Once you have winning data, broaden audiences with confidence.
Hook viewers before they scroll. State the benefit or problem immediately — don't save it for a later slide.
Send every ad to a single product page on BluePay. Multiple links in a caption dilute intent and confuse buyers.
Keep spend consistent and swap creatives. Let the platform tell you which image or hook wins, then scale that.
People who clicked your BluePay link but didn't buy are your warmest audience. Retarget them within 7 days.
Append ?utm_source=facebook&utm_campaign=launch to every link. BluePay analytics will show you which ad drove each sale.
Budget
Start small, validate, then scale only on what works. Most sellers on BluePay start seeing results within their first $20–$50 of ad spend if the offer and targeting are right.
Rule of thumb: You need at least 50 conversion events for the platform algorithm to exit the learning phase. With a $5/day budget and a $5 product, that could take a while — a $15–30 product gives you faster data.
