Analysis of changes to the traffic strategy
The affiliate, who initially spent around €1,000 a month on ads, decided to diversify his traffic sources. He started using both Google Ads and Meta Ads, analyzing which platform delivered better returns. Using FreeSpy, he monitored which ads were performing best in the nutra niche and adjusted his campaigns accordingly. After a week of testing, he realized Meta Ads had a lower cost per acquisition (CPA), so he increased the budget on that platform to 80% of the total.
Audience engagement methods
To increase engagement, the affiliate implemented a content strategy. He created short videos and interactive social media posts, offering tips about the products he promoted. He also used remarketing strategies, targeting people who had already visited his website. As a result, the click-through rate (CTR) increased from 2% to 5%, generating more qualified traffic.
Results before and after optimization
Before the changes, the affiliate had an average monthly revenue of €500, with a 1% conversion rate. After a month of implementing the new strategies, his revenue increased to €5,000, with a 3% conversion rate. The increase in conversions was attributed to higher engagement and more precise targeting.
Refining personas and targeting
He revisited his personas and realized he was overlooking a relevant audience: young adults between 20 and 30 who are interested in health and wellness. So he refined his targeting, creating ads specifically for this group. He used demographic and interest data to target ads, resulting in greater relevance and, consequently, a higher conversion rate.
New perspectives and plans for the future
With the strategy’s success, the affiliate plans to expand his campaigns to TikTok, taking advantage of the platform’s growing trend. He’s also considering partnerships with influencers in the health niche, which could boost his sales even further. In addition, he’s looking into the possibility of launching his own product line, using the data collected to understand which items are in the highest demand.
