Updated over a week ago

Note: to launch your first campaign, you will first need funds in your account. You can add funds by following these steps.

Note: if you prefer video, a video walkthrough of these steps can be found at the bottom of this page.

Step 1: Log In to Your Advertiser Account

Step 2: Navigate to the Campaigns Tab

  • In the left-hand sidebar, click on Campaigns.

  • Then, click the Create Campaign button in the top-right corner of the screen.

Step 3: Fill Out the Campaign Creation Form

Complete each of the required fields:

  1. Campaign Title

    • This is for your internal reference only. It will not be shown publicly.

  2. Image (191×100 min, 1.91:1 ratio)

    • Upload the image that will appear in your native ad. Make sure it matches the size and aspect ratio for optimal display.

  3. Destination URL

    • Enter the full URL you want users to be taken to when they click the ad.

  4. CPC Bid (Cost Per Click)

    • This is the maximum you are willing to pay for each click.

    • Important: You won’t necessarily pay this full amount. Mintfunnel uses a dynamic auction model that optimizes your spend automatically—you only pay what’s necessary to win the placement, often lower than your max bid .

  5. Daily Budget

    • The maximum amount you want to spend per day on this campaign.

  6. Total Budget

    • The total amount you want to spend over the full lifetime of the campaign. Once this is exhausted, the campaign will automatically stop.

  7. Countries (Optional)

    • Choose whether you want to target All Countries or customize by selecting or excluding specific locations.

  8. Schedule (Optional)

    • If desired, set a specific start date for your campaign to begin running.

Step 4: Set Campaign Status

  • Pending: Select the "Pending" status to submit your campaign for approval. Your ad will go live as soon as it’s approved.

  • Draft: Save the campaign to complete or submit at a later time.

Step 5: Submit Your Campaign

  • Click Create Campaign to save or submit your campaign based on the selected status.
