At first, I thought it was just another\u00a0common advertising platform or marketplace. But curiosity got the better of me, so I decided to check it out. Let me tell you; I\u2019m glad I did.  <\/p>\n<h3>What is Click2Sell? \u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/logo_c2s_long_black-1024x256.png\" alt=\"logo_c2s_long_black\" width=\"1024\" height=\"256\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-33941 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/logo_c2s_long_black-1024x256.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/logo_c2s_long_black-768x192.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/256;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.click2sell.co\/\"><b>Click2Sell.co<\/b><\/a> is an ad campaign management platform that allows users to\u00a0design and create banner ad campaigns online. The platform is suitable also for newbies with little to no previous\u00a0marketing\u00a0experience, and it&#8217;s powered by a complete suite of campaign management tools and analytics features.\u00a0Here,\u00a0famous brands\u00a0and companies can\u00a0use the platform and marketplace to advertise their products using banner ad campaigns\u00a0done by online marketers worldwide.\u00a0Marketers who launch the campaign on behalf of the company can get up to 85% of the revenues\/commissions generated by the banner ad (or multiple ads). \u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>First impressions<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/click2sell-dashboard-1024x493.jpg\" alt=\"click2sell-dashboard\" width=\"1024\" height=\"493\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-33942 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/click2sell-dashboard.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/click2sell-dashboard-768x370.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/493;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Once you sign-up (free, but you need to make an initial deposit to start creating campaigns, we&#8217;ll get to that in a moment) you\u2019re taken to the dashboard, which is a full-fledged analytics page. On the left-hand side of the page, there are options to manage your ad campaign and your Cick2Sell account. There&#8217;s also a Refer a Friend option, which can get you $100 for each successful referral.<\/p>\n<p>The central part of the dashboard contains information about your account\u2019s total balance, deposits, and withdrawals. You also have a section where you can compare your performance with your competitors (i.e., other marketers). Overall, the dashboard looks pretty professional, although a bit cramped.<\/p>\n<p>The platform offers five distinct campaign packages \u2013 Starter, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond; all provide a variety of different features and benefits.\u00a0Just choose the package you want and get started (you don&#8217;t have to invest a lot, the minimum\u00a0deposit amount is only $250). \u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Creating my ad campaign<\/h3>\n<p><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3pJvgS-U4CE\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Once you click the Create Campaign button on the dashboard, you&#8217;ll be\u00a0taken to the first page- Basic Info. Here you fill in your campaign name and select the campaign period, anywhere between two weeks and five months.<\/p>\n<p>Next, you&#8217;ll be taken to the Content page, where you can design your ad campaign and the banner ad. The platform offers eight different categories (Art, Business, Sports, Games, and others) for you to select from, and each one has its own unique set of banner ad templates. On this page, you can select the banner template you want, and enter the amount you wish to spend on the ad campaign. The platform will then auto-populate the number of web-impressions this amount will buy you. <\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll then be directed to the Placement page, where you\u2019re given\u00a0several options to determine the size and placement of the banner ad on the publisher&#8217;s website (in other words, where the ad will be displayed,\u00a0also applicable to mobile devices). There is a demo picture available below each option, allowing you to see how your banner ad will look like when live. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Next, you\u2019ll\u00a0be taken\u00a0to the Targeting page. The platform provides a list of headlines for your campaign to\u00a0choose\u00a0from. Once you select the headline that appeals the most to you, you can save and preview your newly created campaign. If you\u2019re not happy with it, you can go back to the previous pages and make the necessary changes. Then you can save and launch your campaign. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There are two main ways to make money using the platform &#8211; \u00a0PPC &amp; PPA: <\/p>\n<p>&#8211; PPC (pay-per-click) \u2013 the advertiser\u00a0(i.e., active member) receives 85% of the revenue generated by each click resulting from his\/her banner ad campaign. <\/p>\n<p>&#8211; PPA (pay-per-acquisition) \u2013\u00a0 the advertiser receives 85% of the commission paid for the acquisition (or sale) generated by the advertiser&#8217;s\u00a0banner ad campaign. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Campaign analytics<\/h3>\n<p>Once your campaign\u00a0is launched\u00a0and activated, you&#8217;ll then\u00a0be redirected\u00a0to the analytics page. This page contains information about all the\u00a0campaigns\u00a0you\u2019ve previously created, with the number of impressions each campaign has received, the number of clicks, start and end date, and its status (active or expired). Clicking on the campaign takes you to the campaign dashboard, where you can view its performance and see how much profit your banner ad has made. You can also buy additional web-impressions during any point of your campaign. <\/p>\n<h3>Verdict<\/h3>\n<p>Overall, the Click2Sell platform is a quite easy-to-use ad campaign management platform. It contains a good selection of features, which are more than enough for a newbie who has limited experience using this type of platforms, as well as for experienced\u00a0marketers.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I would have liked the platform better if I had been allowed to create my own headlines. But that\u2019s just me. The choice of headlines was pretty decent, and someone with no experience in creating promotional content can definitely benefit from this list. The analytics section is also\u00a0good, providing valuable insights for each\u00a0campaign. In all, Click2Sell.co is a user-friendly advertising platform and marketplace, with plenty to offer for both newbie and veteran online marketers. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I ran into Click2Sell by accident as I was scrolling through the internet looking for freelance assignments in content marketing.
