$1,290 Profit in 13 Days from TikTok - Dating Case Study

[Cpamatica]

Hi everyone👋

We wanted to share an interesting case study on free TikTok traffic - showing how you can ride the algorithms and spot hidden opportunities most people miss.

In April 2025, our affiliate ran a dating campaign with Tinely and achieved some impressive results: $1,311 in revenue in just 13 days - almost without any expenses!

Case highlights:

Vertical: Dating
Offer: Tinely
Traffic Source: TikTok
GEOs: Ukraine + smartlink
Duration: April 3 - April 20, 2025
Expenses: ~$20 on services
Revenue: $1,311
Net Profit: $1,290



Key insight: Even with minimal resources, dating traffic can generate solid profits if you use the right offer and traffic source combination.

What worked:

The entire traffic flow was built on photo creatives. At that time, TikTok was pushing static images much better than video - and our partner used that to their advantage. To boost engagement, they paired the visuals with trigger sounds with a sexual context. This combination caught attention quickly, and the creatives easily reached hundreds of thousands or even millions of views.

Where the photos came from & how they were optimized:

Sourced from Instagram profiles of women with Slavic looks.

Age range: 25-45 years old.

Photos were hand-picked, downloaded via @SaveAsBot on Telegram, and quickly modified using Samsung’s default photo editor (screenshotting, filters, cropping corners).

If extra editing was needed, tools like CapCut were used.

The key trick was simple: eye-catching photo + attention-grabbing audio trigger = scroll-stopping content.

Examples of sounds that worked well:

Traffic flow setup:

• TikTok accounts were created manually by our partner, with no purchased accounts, allowing a 7-day cooling-off period.
• Accounts were warmed up for 2 days before starting the campaigns.
• Creatives consisted of photos of women aged 25–45 paired with trigger sounds.
• TikTok’s algorithm boosted these photo creatives naturally.
• Users engaged by liking, commenting, and visiting the profile, which further pushed the creatives into feeds if viewed for more than 3 seconds.
• In the profile, a cloaked link led to a Linkpop prelanding, which then redirected to the Tinely offer.

Team & Scale:

• 1 traffic manager handled the entire process.
• Up to 50 TikTok accounts were active concurrently.
• All accounts were manually managed.
• Due to the aggressive campaign setup, accounts typically lasted around a week before either being banned or shadowbanned.

Technical setup:

Devices:
Samsung A16 - main device
iPhone 11 Pro - test device, used only when Android misbehaved

Why Android mainly? Easier for uploading; iPhone sometimes shadowbans videos. Android allows a full reset and smooth operation.

Android setup:

• No SIM card
• Airplane mode
• Language & region set to Ukraine
• Only mobile internet (no home Wi-Fi)
• TikTok and Telegram were freshly installed after each reset

Workflow:

• Uploaded 5 accounts at a time
• Full phone reset
• Changed IP via mobile hotspot from a third device (any carrier)
• Installed TikTok and Telegram, logged into email to access app stores, and repeated

iPhone Setup:

• Reset network settings only
• Removed apps and reinstalled without SIM
• Shared internet from a third device

Link & Prelanding:
Cloaked via Keitaro (bot cleaning)
Link tree via Linkpop.com (Shopify-based)
At the time of the case, it outperformed other solutions. Note: Linkpop site is currently down (possibly temporarily).

Hashtags:
Maximum 3-4 per post
Examples:
#дівчатау#дівчатаукраїним#знайомствавтіктокB#самот ніжінки30]

Post Description:

• Either 👉, ☝️, or none at all
• Key: do not overload the post
