Announcement for CTPX users: please add Your comments and Your ideas to this Blog post to make a difference.
This screenshot of my campaign in #CTPX explains everything:
Almost 120 Hits and only 24 of them are Unique! This is not an effective marketing channel for me and I have no desire to recommend this to others.
What is the reason for this failure?
- the 3 to 1 credits exchange ratio for free members - this is the first thing that pushes away - at least me. The only reason I'm still there is because I wanna earn some #CTP, but this will not last long.
- the reward system is targeted only at those who wanna earn #CTP coins. But not all users (I think most) are interested in cryptos. There should be a way to exchange those CTPs for credits or an option to choose between classical credit-based rewards or CTPs.
- there is no transparency - How many members? How many active users? How many are active right now?
- it is not clear, what I will get if I complete daily, weekly, and monthly tasks
- what's with XP? I'm reaching levels, so what? I think the climbing in Levels should be rewarded to be more attractive for users.
- the reviews - ok, my content gets reviews, but only I can see them. This will not affect anything until other users see them. If those reviews were visible for surfers somehow - it would be cool if I would see them in the header changing like a slider every 2-5 seconds and if I had the option to see all reviews. This will help the marketing efforts of any user because a review is a value (E.A.T. -thing) and will make sense to write them.
- No tutorials, FAQs, no information about how to and what means what.
- No campaign settings that are really important for every serious marketer:
- no language and geo-targeting - I would like to target some of my campaigns in different countries or languages. It really makes a difference in some Traffic Exchanges that I am using for over 10 Years, like EasyHits4You, TrafficG.
- no 24 h unique traffic option - so far I know that EasyHits4U gives this option, but the best solution would be the ability to choose how many times to show the page to the same user in 24 H. This would be a really unique option. I'd like to show no more than 2 or 3 times. This should be available also for banners.
9 . The affiliate marketing materials are misleading in some cases:
Just check out the first sentence from a given email from the affiliate tools section:
Isn't it time you changed your approach to generating targeted and quality website traffic?
... really? If all the above-described needs was about CTPX, then Yes, it would be true. But right now every user, that has read the letter and decides to try will be disappointed.
