Media Buying For Squeeze Page

I am looking to scale traffic for one of my projects. I have a very specific target market & I already tried these platforms with negative ROI:
1) Adwords
2) Buy Sell Ads
3) LeadImpact - Not good for my target market
4) Facebook
5) Sitescout

The Ads where very targeted in my opinion but basically I am paying more for clicks than the LTV for each lead.

Does anybody know where I can get targetted clicks cheaper than the above platforms?

Who is your target? Some platforms are most specialised in certain niches than others.

Also, are you doing mostly native, search cpc, pops? Could use more info to help you out.

I want to target artists & creators. I haven't tried native yet but I doubt it's a good platform for this target market.

might have to try email list targetted to artist and creator groups, get a hold of a person managing a list. ROI negative is expected sometimes. It's best to capture and convert them into positive down the road.

What do you pay per click on FB?

Are you cold selling or putting people into a funnel?

I'm putting in a funnel which converts good on other channels. the pay per click is around 0.5 to $1
