Ask What’s your strategy for launching native ads with zero social proof?

[SuperAffiliateX]

I've been diving into native ads for a little while now. I've tried running a few campaigns using blog content repurposed into native formats.

I tested different headlines and images to see what sticks. Some ads got clicks, though conversions stayed low.

I also experimented with A/B testing on platforms like Medium and Substack to drive traffic.

I'm still figuring out how to build trust since I don't have much social proof yet. It feels like a puzzle with missing pieces.

What's your strategy for launching native ads with zero social proof?

Focus on content that actually helps or entertains your audience, not just buy this. Use curiosity, stories, or fun hooks to make people stop scrolling. Target the right crowd so your ad lands in front of folks who care. Test a bunch of different headlines and visuals because of the fact that small wins matter when no one's backing you yet. Get people to click, share, or comment to start building credibility.
