```

### **Step 4: Create Your Video Ad (2 hours)**

The video is what users see BEFORE they click to take the quiz.

#### **Video Ad Best Practices:**

**Format:**
- Duration: 9-15 seconds (shorter = better)
- Orientation: Vertical (9:16 ratio, 1080x1920px)
- File: MP4 or MOV, under 500MB
- Sound: Include (most TikTok users have sound ON)

**Content Ideas:**

**Hook (First 3 seconds):**
```
Option 1: "Stop scrolling if you've ever asked someone to repeat themselves"
Option 2: "This 2-minute quiz will tell you if you need better hearing"
Option 3: "I created a hearing quiz and the results shocked me..."
```

**Body (4-9 seconds):**
- Show person struggling to hear
- Quick montage of quiz questions
- Show relief/happiness after getting Soundbites

**CTA (Last 3 seconds):**
```
Text on screen: "Take the quiz now ⬇️"
Voiceover: "Click below to take the 2-minute quiz"
```

**Visual Style:**
- ✅ User-generated content (UGC) style (not polished ads)
- ✅ Fast-paced editing
- ✅ Bold text overlays
- ✅ Hook in first 1 second
- ❌ No boring corporate feel
- ❌ No long intros

### **Step 5: Launch Campaign (15 minutes)**

#### **5.1 - Campaign Settings:**
```
Campaign Objective: Lead Generation
Campaign Name: Soundbites Hearing Quiz - October 2025
Budget Type: Daily Budget
Daily Budget: $20-50 (start small, scale up)
```

```

### **Step 6: Set Up Pixel Tracking (5 minutes)**

## 💰 Cost Breakdown

### TikTok Ads Pricing:

**Minimums:**
- Daily budget: $20 minimum
- Campaign budget: $50 minimum
- Bid: $0.10-2.00 per lead

**Realistic Costs:**
- Cost Per Lead (CPL): $2-8 (hearing health niche)
- Cost Per Click (CPC): $0.50-2.00
- Daily Spend: $20-100 (start at $20, scale up)

**Example Budget:**
```
Budget: $50/day
CPL: $5 average
Leads per day: 10 people complete quiz
Monthly cost: $1,500
Monthly leads: 300 quiz completions
```

### ROI Calculation:
```
If 10% of quiz takers buy Soundbites at $50 average:
300 leads × 10% conversion × $50 = $1,500 revenue
$1,500 revenue - $1,500 ad spend = Break even

If 20% convert:
300 × 20% × $50 = $3,000 revenue
$3,000 - $1,500 = $1,500 profit (100% ROI)
```
