I'm curious about niches there and CPA, so far I did only for my Telegram channel (with jobs listings) and it was pretty much on pair with buying ads in other channels (something along the lines of $0,3 per subscriber). Asking because got the feeling that most people are using LinkedIn for organic sm traffic, however ads there are pretty straight forward. Maybe just not a lot of offers on the affiliate market (meaning those which fit overall theme of the website)?

I used LinkedIn Ads to promote a local homemade food monthly subscription service (a business of my friend). Super-well targeted ad. ZERO conversions. Thankfully, I used the credits that LinkedIn Ads provides to fisrt time advertisers, so no money was actually spent.
 
Does make a lot of sense, on the other hand I think job listing websites have a certain authority build around them, which may help them outperform your ads in the first place.
 
LinkedIn is solid for B2B, but CPA options are narrow ads work organic is slow stick to platforms where your audience actually hangs out.

I guess it's very different audience. Also, I've been on the website 2 times - one when I was looking for a job, and one when was running ads. Probably same case for many of users.

I guess it's a good place to post ad for a service that boosts your linkedin profile /s :)
 
Might be worth testing smaller niche networks or even reddit communities sometimes the CTR surprises you more than linkedIn.
 
Haha:D exactly linkedIns good for visibility, but dont expect quick returns. Best results come from being where your real audience already is, not just where it feels professional.
 
I’ve tried LinkedIn ads too, but honestly, the results weren’t amazing. It’s solid for B2B, but not the best for CPA. Organic growth takes time, so maybe testing smaller platforms like Reddit could give better results
 
Telegram jobs niches often break even on CPA, while LinkedIn tends to outperform organically, and the real bottleneck usually isn’t traffic but the limited number of affiliate offers that actually align well with the site’s theme and audience.
 
A smarter angle is to focus on creating highly relevant content that naturally funnels your audience to the CPA offer platform doesnt matter as much as context and alignment with what people actually need.
 
LinkedIn ads are straightforward technically, but the bigger issue is offer fit. The affiliate market simply doesn’t have a large volume of CPA offers that align naturally with LinkedIn audiences, unless you’re in B2B SaaS, lead gen, courses, or high-ticket services. That’s why many marketers focus on organic content, then monetize indirectly through leads or partnerships rather than classic CPA.
 
Yes, people do use LinkedIn ads, but mostly for B2B niches like SaaS, jobs, consulting, and lead gen not classic CPA. Ads work, but costs are higher and offers are limited, so most still prefer organically DM funnels over paid CPA campaigns.
 
Yes, LinkedIn ads can work well, especially for B2B, professional services, and job related niches.CPA campaigns are possible but limited by higher costs per click; targeting by job title, company, or industry usually yields the best results.
 
From what you’re seeing, that’s normal—LinkedIn works best for organic, trust-based niches (like B2B, IT, and jobs, which fits your Telegram experience), while paid ads can work but only when the CPA offer closely matches LinkedIn’s professional audience.
 
what kind of product could promote in Linkedin ads? Any restrictions like Finance and Legal services on Reddit?
 
I tried Linkedin Ads. It is stupidly expensive - a spent almost 1k on marketing a SaaS product generating 10 clicks
 
Does anyone know how to run ads on new linkedin accounts? How do I interact with accounts so that I don't get kicked out for verification? I'm just interested in the technical method of launching ads so that the account allows me to run them
