Not because the platform is complicated, but because nobody walked them through the fine print. The TikTok new advertiser credit is one of the most generous first-time incentives in digital advertising right now, up to $10,000 in matched spend, and most people I talk to in my PPC community have never claimed one. The registration step is where they trip up.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">Here&#8217;s why the timing matters. TikTok&#8217;s global ad revenue is expected to nearly quadruple by 2026 compared to 2022 levels, according to <a class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/1305708\/tiktok-ad-revenue\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Statista<\/a>. More advertisers means rising CPMs, which means the value of free matched credit only goes down the longer you wait.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">There&#8217;s a psychological reason the deadline matters too. Kahneman and Tversky&#8217;s research on <a class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/thedecisionlab.com\/biases\/loss-aversion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">loss aversion<\/a> found that people feel the sting of missing out roughly twice as strongly as they enjoy an equivalent gain. Every day your TikTok Ads Manager account sits idle after registration is a day ticked off a credit window you can&#8217;t get back.<\/p><p class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem]

applies to newly registered advertisers. If your business or agency has ever run a paid campaign on TikTok, under any TikTok Ads Manager or Business Center account tied to your organization, you&#8217;re not eligible. This isn&#8217;t a soft rule.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">TikTok enforces a strict one account, one coupon policy. If your company already has a Business Center account, a second advertiser ID under that same account cannot join the program, even if it registers through a completely different channel (say, a landing page instead of Business Center). TikTok&#8217;s system flags the connection at the account level, not just the advertiser ID level.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">Before you do anything else, check:<\/p><ul class=\"[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"><li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Has this legal entity ever spent on TikTok Ads before, under any account?<\/li><li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Is there an existing Business Center or TT4B account tied to your organization?<\/li><li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">If you&#8217;re an agency, is this genuinely a client&#8217;s first TikTok account, not a reactivation?<\/li><\/ul><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">Reactivated accounts, meaning any account that previously spent and went dormant, do not qualify, no matter how long the inactivity period.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">If you&#8217;ve confirmed you&#8217;re a clean, first-time advertiser, you&#8217;re ready to register the right way, which is where most of the value is actually won or lost.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3448104 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3448104\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.22.0 - 24-06-2024 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"309\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adcore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/msft-homepage-1024x494.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-43854\" alt=\"Microsoft Ads Credits for new advertisers\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adcore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/msft-homepage-1024x494.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adcore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/msft-homepage-300x145.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adcore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/msft-homepage-768x370.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.adcore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/msft-homepage-1536x740.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.adcore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/msft-homepage.jpg 1801w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9557f98 MicroFont elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9557f98\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\">Step 2: Register Through Couponer Before You Touch TikTok Ads Manager<\/h3><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">This is the step that separates a $6,000 credit from a $10,000 one, and it has to happen before your TikTok Ads Manager account exists.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">TikTok&#8217;s standard, self-serve new-advertiser offer caps matched credit at $6,000. But TikTok&#8217;s Channel Sales Partner (CSP) program, launched in January 2026 with only 7 companies selected globally, unlocks a higher ceiling: 1:1 matched credit up to $10,000. Adcore is one of those 7 partners, and Couponer (<code class=\"bg-text-200\/5 border border-0.5 border-border-300 text-danger-000 whitespace-pre-wrap rounded-[0.4rem] px-1 py-px text-[0.9rem]\">couponer.app\/tt<\/code>) is the registration portal that routes your new account through Adcore&#8217;s CSP infrastructure.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">Here&#8217;s the mechanic that trips people up: the credit tier is locked in at the moment your TikTok Ads Manager account is created, based on how that account was registered. If you create your account independently first, then try to attach a partner link afterward, you&#8217;re too late. The standard $6,000 offer, not the $10,000 CSP offer, is what applies.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">The fix is simple: go to <code class=\"bg-text-200\/5 border border-0.5 border-border-300 text-danger-000 whitespace-pre-wrap rounded-[0.4rem] px-1 py-px text-[0.9rem]\">couponer.app\/tt<\/code> and register your new-advertiser account from there, before creating anything directly in TikTok Ads Manager. Couponer routes the registration through Adcore&#8217;s CSP link automatically, so your account is tagged for the higher tier from the moment it&#8217;s created.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5848745 MicroFont elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5848745\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\">Step 3: Set Up Your Account and Start the 30-Day Clock<\/h3><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">Once you&#8217;ve registered through Couponer, Adcore&#8217;s team handles the technical setup: your Enterprise Business Center, TikTok Pixel installation, and Events API configuration. This part matters more than most new advertisers realize, because unmeasured spend can still count toward your threshold, but you&#8217;ll be flying blind on performance if your pixel isn&#8217;t firing correctly.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">Here&#8217;s the timeline that actually governs the offer:<\/p><ul class=\"[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"><li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">The 30-day promotion window starts from your account&#8217;s creation date, not from your first dollar spent. The clock is already running the moment the account exists.<\/li><li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Only spend on non-Shop ad products counts toward your matched-credit tier. TikTok Shop ad spend is excluded.<\/li><li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">The credit you receive is based on the highest tier threshold you reach, not your exact spend. Spend $300 and you&#8217;re matched at the $250 tier, not $300. You&#8217;d need to hit $500 to unlock the next one.<\/li><\/ul><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">Here&#8217;s the USD tier breakdown for the CSP-exclusive offer:<\/p><div class=\"overflow-x-auto w-full px-2 mb-6\"><table class=\"min-w-full border-collapse text-sm leading-[1.7] whitespace-normal\"><thead class=\"text-left\"><tr><th class=\"text-text-100 border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)\/0.6)] py-2 pr-4 align-top font-bold\" scope=\"col\">Spend<\/th><th class=\"text-text-100 border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)\/0.6)] py-2 pr-4 align-top font-bold\" scope=\"col\">Get<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)\/0.3)] py-2 pr-4 align-top\">$250<\/td><td class=\"border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)\/0.3)] py-2 pr-4 align-top\">$250<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)\/0.3)] py-2 pr-4 align-top\">$500<\/td><td class=\"border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)\/0.3)] py-2 pr-4 align-top\">$500<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)\/0.3)] py-2 pr-4 align-top\">$1,000<\/td><td class=\"border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)\/0.3)] py-2 pr-4 align-top\">$1,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)\/0.3)] py-2 pr-4 align-top\">$4,000<\/td><td class=\"border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)\/0.3)] py-2 pr-4 align-top\">$4,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)\/0.3)] py-2 pr-4 align-top\">$6,000<\/td><td class=\"border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)\/0.3)] py-2 pr-4 align-top\">$6,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)\/0.3)] py-2 pr-4 align-top\">$10,000<\/td><td class=\"border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)\/0.3)] py-2 pr-4 align-top\">$10,000<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/div><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">Once you cross a tier threshold, TikTok typically deposits the matched credit into your Ads Manager balance within 24-48 hours, though larger tiers may involve a brief verification step.

Watch out for these:<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"><strong>Creating the account before registering through Couponer.<\/strong> This is the single costliest mistake. Once your TikTok Ads Manager account exists without the CSP link attached, you&#8217;re locked into the standard $6,000 program. There&#8217;s no retroactive fix.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"><strong>Spending on TikTok Shop ads and expecting it to count.<\/strong> Only non-Shop campaigns qualify toward your tier threshold. If your first campaigns are Shop-focused, you can burn through your 30-day window without moving toward a single tier.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"><strong>Stopping just short of a tier.<\/strong> Spending $950 gets you matched at the $500 tier, not a proportional reward for the extra $450. If you&#8217;re close to a threshold, a small additional push can be worth far more than the spend itself.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"><strong>Letting the credit expire unused.<\/strong> Matched credits carry their own expiration date, visible under Coupon Progress in Ads Manager. Unused credit that expires is gone. Plan your post-launch spend around that date, not just around the 30-day earning window.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"><strong>Opening a second advertiser ID under an existing Business Center.<\/strong> TikTok&#8217;s system checks at the account level.

The same logic applies at every tier: $3,800 in planned spend is a lot closer to the $4,000 threshold than it looks, and that gap is worth closing.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">This is also where having your <a class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adcore.com\/blog\/tiktok-ads-voucher\/\">TikTok Pixel and Events set up correctly<\/a> pays off. If your tracking isn&#8217;t verified, you risk misjudging which campaigns are actually contributing to your spend total, and pulling back budget from something that was working.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">Before you finalize your 30-day plan, map out:<\/p><ol class=\"[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-decimal flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"><li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Your total planned spend across all non-Shop campaigns<\/li><li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">The nearest tier threshold above that number<\/li><li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Whether a small budget increase gets you there<\/li><\/ol><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">A few hundred extra dollars in planned spend, timed correctly, is often the difference between a $1,000 credit and a $4,000 one.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ff74e7b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ff74e7b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Buttom line<\/h2><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">Claiming your TikTok new advertiser credit isn&#8217;t complicated once you know the order of operations: register through Couponer first, confirm your eligibility, and plan your spend around the tier thresholds instead of a random budget number. The advertisers who miss out almost always made one decision, usually creating their account too early, that locked them out of the higher tier before they even launched a campaign.<\/p><p class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\">If you want the setup handled end-to-end, from CSP registration through pixel configuration and campaign launch, Adcore&#8217;s <a class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adcore.com\/technologies\/media-blast\/?ref=blog\">Media Blast<\/a> team manages the entire TikTok onboarding process alongside your Google and Meta accounts<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5808b8b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5808b8b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [&amp;_&gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"><h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\">Frequently Asked Questions: TikTok New Advertiser Credit<\/h3><h4 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">What is the TikTok new advertiser credit?<\/h4><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">The TikTok new advertiser credit is a matched-spend incentive for first-time TikTok advertisers. TikTok deposits free credit into your Ads Manager account equal to what you spend, up to a set threshold, during your first 30 days.<\/p><hr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\" \/><h4 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">How much is the TikTok new advertiser credit worth?<\/h4><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">TikTok&#8217;s standard public offer matches up to $6,000. Advertisers who register through a TikTok Channel Sales Partner, such as Adcore via Couponer, can access a higher ceiling of up to $10,000 in matched credit.<\/p><hr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\" \/><h4 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Who is eligible for the TikTok new advertiser credit?<\/h4><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Only newly registered advertisers qualify. An account must never have run a paid TikTok campaign before, under any Business Center or TikTok Ads Manager tied to that organization. Reactivated or previously-spent accounts are excluded.<\/p><hr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\" \/><h4 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">How do I claim my TikTok new advertiser credit through Couponer?<\/h4><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Register at couponer.app\/tt before creating a TikTok Ads Manager account. Couponer routes your registration through Adcore&#8217;s TikTok Channel Sales Partner link, which locks your account into the $10,000 matched-credit tier from the moment it&#8217;s created.<\/p><hr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\" \/><h4 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">When does the 30-day credit window start?<\/h4><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">The 30-day promotion window begins on your TikTok Ads Manager account creation date, not from your first ad spend. The clock runs during setup, so delays in launching campaigns reduce the time available to qualify.<\/p><hr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\" \/><h4 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Does TikTok Shop ad spend count toward the new advertiser credit?<\/h4><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">No. Only spend on non-Shop ad products counts toward the matched-credit tier thresholds. TikTok Shop campaigns are excluded from the promotion entirely.<\/p><hr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\" \/><h4 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">How is the matched credit amount calculated?<\/h4><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Credit is matched to the highest spend tier you reach, not your exact spend. For example, spending $300 qualifies you for the $250 tier and $250 in credit, not $300. Reaching $500 in spend is required to unlock the $500 tier.<\/p><hr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\" \/><h4 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Can I combine the Microsoft Ads coupon with other promotions or discounts?<\/strong><\/h4><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">No. Microsoft Ads promotional credits cannot be combined with other offers, coupon codes, or discounts. They also cannot be separated, redeemed for cash, transferred, or sold. Each code is single-use and tied to one account.<\/p><hr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\" \/><h4 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Can I get the TikTok new advertiser credit after already creating my account?<\/h4><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">No. The credit tier is determined by how the account was registered at creation. If a TikTok Ads Manager account is created without a CSP partner link, it defaults to the standard $6,000 program and cannot be upgraded retroactively.<\/p><hr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\" \/><h4 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">How long does it take to receive the TikTok new advertiser credit?<\/h4><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">TikTok typically deposits matched credit into your Ads Manager balance within 24-48 hours of crossing a qualifying spend threshold. Higher tiers may require a brief verification step before the credit settles.<\/p><hr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\" \/><h4 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Does the TikTok new advertiser credit expire?<\/h4><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Yes. Matched credits carry their own expiration date, visible under Coupon Progress in TikTok Ads Manager. Unused credit is forfeited once it expires, so spend should be planned around that date.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-42cbd0d elementor-widget elementor-widget-template\" data-id=\"42cbd0d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"template.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-template\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"29332\" class=\"elementor elementor-29332\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6c9eca04 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6c9eca04\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4798cb28\" data-id=\"4798cb28\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-65cc919a elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-widget elementor-widget-shortcode\" data-id=\"65cc919a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"shortcode.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shortcode\">\n<div class=\"wpcf7 no-js\" id=\"wpcf7-f28319-o1\" lang=\"en-US\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<div class=\"screen-reader-response\"><p role=\"status\" aria-live=\"polite\" aria-atomic=\"true\"><\/p> <ul><\/ul><\/div>\n<form action=\"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43865#wpcf7-f28319-o1\" method=\"post\" class=\"wpcf7-form init\" aria-label=\"Contact form\" novalidate=\"novalidate\" data-status=\"init\">\n<div style=\"display: none;\">\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7\" value=\"28319\" \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_version\" value=\"5.9.6\" \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_locale\" value=\"en_US\" \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_unit_tag\" value=\"wpcf7-f28319-o1\" \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_container_post\" value=\"0\" \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_posted_data_hash\" value=\"\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"yos mobile\">\n\t<div class=\"post-contact\">\n\t\t<p class=\"title\">Get exclusive CMO tips that I only share with email subscribers.\n\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t<div class=\"form-item\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"input\"><span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"email-001\"><input size=\"40\" maxlength=\"80\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-email wpcf7-validates-as-required wpcf7-text wpcf7-validates-as-email\" aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\" placeholder=\"Email address\" value=\"\" type=\"email\" name=\"email-001\" \/><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"send\"><input class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-submit has-spinner\" type=\"submit\" value=\"SUBSCRIBE\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<p class=\"yos-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/NEW_YOS.png\" \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"wpcf7-response-output\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve spent years watching new TikTok advertisers stall out before they even spend a dollar.
