Promote your business
Your ad shows on other people's sites and apps and you pay only when someone taps it. You do not need to know what a campaign is.
Step 1: Open «Promote»
It is the shortest way for someone who has never run a campaign. You also get there by choosing «Promote my business» on the first screen.
Where: Promote, in the dashboard menu
Step 2: Upload the image
The dashboard crops it to the size most sites use, 300×250, and you can adjust the crop. Add a short sentence for people who cannot see the image.
What you will see: Next to it, the ad as it will show.Step 3: Say where it leads
Whoever taps the ad goes to your WhatsApp (pick the country code and type the number), your site, your Facebook page or your Instagram profile.
Step 4: Choose the countries
The ad shows to people in the countries you pick. It starts with your country; add any others.
Step 5: How much and for how long
Choose the most per day, from €1. Seeing the ad costs nothing: you pay each tap, €0.10 by default, and the more you pay per tap the more often it shows ahead of others. Choose 7 days, 30 days or until you stop it.
What you will see: The most you can spend in total, before you publish.Step 6: Top up and publish
Taps are paid from the wallet balance, which you top up by card from €1. With no balance, the ad shows only in your own spaces and starts by itself on other people's sites when you top up.
Where: Money › Wallet
Step 7: Wait for review and follow it
adPluga reviews the ad before it shows on other people's sites, usually the same day, and tells you in the dashboard and by email; if it is declined, it says why. Changing what the ad shows puts it back in review. Then, in Ads, you see views, taps and spend, and you can pause.
Where: Ads
If it does not happen: If it does not show on other sites: check it is approved, that there is balance, that today's maximum was not reached (the day changes at midnight UTC) and that the end date has not passed.
When you want more control
Campaigns › New campaign has everything «Promote» simplifies:
- Pay per thousand views, per click, per sale or per lead.
- Countries and screens (computer, phone, tablet) where it shows, and how many times the same person sees it per day.
- Start and end dates, spend pacing and total spend.
- Other sizes and formats: native, carousel, video, interstitial and HTML5.
- «Also show on other people's sites» to join the adPluga network, and «Visible on the marketplace» so sites can ask you for the ad.
