If the op is still following this post, I would recommend a few basic marketing tips.

First, publish some content on your blog or simply remove the blog section altogether...having one outdated article appears like you aren't in business any longer, or that you don't have anything to say about your business area. Write blog posts that deal with technical analysis to prove that you know something.

Second, update the reviews on your course sales page. Two reviews from the same date look suspicious, and one of the reviewers hasn't even read the material. If you can't find anyone to review, give copies of the PDF away in return for a review or testimonial.

Last, and most important: how is this technical analysis course different from all the other free and paid TA courses out there? I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt that you know how to perform TA in general, but how does this relate to cryptocurrency? What have your results been, if you actively trade crypto? Have you documented any results from your students and customers? You really need to make a strong argument that your course is superior to my ability to go to YouTube and watch some random guy explain support and resistance.

All the answers for you are in the feedback provided on this forum! Just pay attention to the comments and make some adjustments and I'm sure you will start to sell more PDFs. The objections and critiques offered here are from real members of your potential audience!

Good luck!

I have been trying to promote a video course on basic blockchain and crypto fundamentals, and part of the marketing strategy is to use paid ads (on Google, Bing, Facebook, Quora, etc.) to send traffic to our site. None of the platforms mentioned will allow us to run ads. None of them will explain the reasoning, outside of ambiguous statements in their Terms of Service. Even when the terms seem to allow for certain types of crypto-related content, such as purely educational material, they have still banned our ads. Some of the policies are simply ridiculous.

Quora, for example, ONLY allows advertising for exchanges, wallets, and financial services...these are the most likely products and services to be scams, in my experience. Is this insane or is it just me?

AdWords approved the first ad I created after I appealed the initial ban (which I assume is AI-driven via keyword flagging), because my product was so obviously NOT a scam. Then they reversed that decision with no explanation when I tried to create a second ad, and blocked my entire campaign from running.

Bing doesn't explicitly block my ads from running, but their algorithm assigns all my keywords a "quality score" of 0, even when I have exact matching phrases from keyword to ad to landing page.

I have been kicked off of 3 email platforms so far, 2 of them simply for drafting emails with crypto-related keywords that I NEVER SENT.

Believe me, I have worked in marketing for 20 years and my content is way better than much of the spammy content that litters the Web. I do not promise anyone riches, or amazing profits, or any outlandish statements in that vein.

Anyway, it's very frustrating that I am trying to promote content that actually SAVES people from scammers, but I am being defined as a potential scammer by all these companies that regularly publish fraudulent marketing claims and ads for completely scam products.

Does anyone else promoting crypto products or services that AREN'T scams have any of these problems? I have never encountered anything like this irrational fear...or maybe there are other reasons that I haven't considered?

Anyone have any thoughts? Does anyone know of any crypto-specific ad channels that you've had success with?

Thanks for your help!
