Looking to diversify your offer portfolio and tap into high-converting campaigns? If you’re an affiliate marketer, media buyer, or just someone interested in exploring new revenue streams, PIN API offers might be the game-changer you’ve been searching for.


What are PIN API offers

Imagine this: you’re scrolling through your phone and come across an offer that catches your eye. All you need to do to claim it is enter a simple PIN that’s sent straight to your phone. Easy, right? That’s the magic of PIN API offers!

PIN API offers are a special type of offer that asks users to confirm their participation by entering a personal identification number (PIN) sent to their mobile device. It starts with the user providing their phone number, followed by an SMS delivering the PIN. To complete the offer, the user enters the PIN into the designated field, sealing the deal and proving they’re genuinely interested. This hands-on process means these offers usually attract higher-quality leads - great news for advertisers and a sweet spot for affiliates.

Now, let’s crank it up a notch. Traffic Company's PIN API campaigns are like the cooler, tech-savvy cousin of traditional PIN flow campaigns. They use an API (fancy talk for Application Programming Interface) to streamline the whole verification process, making it smoother, faster and less of a hassle for everyone involved. This means the entire process can be automated and seamlessly integrated into various programs, cutting down on the friction for users and boosting conversion rates.

And here’s the best part: Unlike the regular PIN flow campaigns where you’re stuck with whatever landing page the advertiser provides, Traffic Company's PIN API campaigns put you in the driver’s seat. As an affiliate, affiliate marketer, or media buyer, you have complete control- tailoring the design, layout, and overall user experience to perfectly suit your audience. Looking to maximize conversions? Feel free! You have the creative freedom to craft a landing page that truly connects with your audience and boosts those conversions to new heights.

Key characteristics of PIN API offers

  • High engagement: Users actively entering a PIN increases the likelihood that the lead is genuinely interested. 
  • API integration: Streamlines through simple API calls, reducing the number of steps for users- because who likes complicated processes? 
  • Automation: Automate parts of the process, and watch those conversion rates climb.
  • User experience: Typically offers a smoother and faster user experience compared to traditional PIN flow campaigns.
  • Creative freedom: You’re the artist here - design your landing page exactly how you want it, giving you full control over the user experience. 
  • Optimization: A/B testing, tweaking, and refining until your page is a conversion machine- no need to stick to a pre-lander. 
  • Compliance: It’s crucial to ensure that your ads and landing pages comply with the rules of the affiliate network and local regulations.
  • Paid Traffic: To drive high-quality traffic to your PIN API offers, consider using paid traffic sources such as Facebook Ads, Google Ads, and native ads. Each platform offers unique targeting options that can help you reach the right audience. Facebook Ads allow you to target users based on their interests, demographics, and behaviors, making it ideal for niche markets. Google Ads can capture intent-driven traffic through search and display networks, while native ads integrate seamlessly into the user experience on popular websites, making them less intrusive and more engaging. By leveraging these paid traffic sources, you can effectively drive traffic to your custom landing pages and maximize conversions.

How do PIN API offers work?

PIN API offers are commonly used in industries such as mobile content subscriptions, sweepstakes, downloads, and any service that requires an extra layer of verification to filter out non-genuine leads. Once the user successfully enters the PIN, the deal is sealed—conversion locked in, and the affiliate earns the commission. Easy, right?

So, what does this process look like in action?

  1. Custom Landing page:
    • Setup: As an affiliate or media buyer, you have the ability to create and host your own landing page tailored to your audience. This page is where users will be prompted to enter their mobile phone number.
    • User experience: Since you control the design and functionality, you can optimize the page for higher engagement and conversions. Tailor the messaging, visuals, and calls-to-action to your strategy.

  2. Automated PIN submissions:
    • Process: Once the user enters their phone number, the system does its thing- communicating directly with the Traffic Company API. Consequently, The API quickly sends a PIN code to the user’s phone via SMS. 
    • Seamless integration: Depending on the integration, the process may be partially or fully automated. In some cases, the PIN can be automatically submitted in the background, minimizing the need for user input. Alternatively, the user might still need to manually enter the PIN on the same landing page.
  3. Verification and conversions:
    • Verification: The API checks that the PIN entered is legit. If it’s all good, the conversion is logged, and the affiliate gets credited.
    • Speed: This process is typically faster and smoother due to the direct API interaction, which can lead to higher conversion rates as the user journey is more streamlined. 

How to create a landing page for PIN API.

  1. Understand your audience and offer.

    Know your audience like the back of your hand before diving into the design. Think about their demographics, interests, and the key selling points of your offer.

  2. Choose a landing page builder or platform.

    Not a coding whiz? No problem. Use a landing page builder like Unbounce, Leadpages, or Instapage. These tools let you create slick pages with no coding required. If you do have coding skills or access to a developer, you might prefer to create a custom landing page from scratch using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. This gives you complete control over the design and functionality.

  3. Design the landing page layout.

    Keep it clean, focused, and conversion-friendly. Your page should feature a strong headline, a supportive subheadline, and high-quality visuals (images or videos) that stand out. Don’t forget to include a killer CTA button—make it impossible to miss! Also, ensure everything is mobile-friendly, as many users will be accessing your page on their smartphones.

  4. Implement the PIN API integration.

    This is the technical core of your landing page and it’s where the magic happens. You’ll need to integrate the Traffic Company PIN API with your page to handle the process of phone number collection and PIN verification.

    • Phone number input field: Include a form where users can enter their mobile phone number. This should be simple and easy to use, with clear instructions.
    • API Integration: Set up the API to automatically send the phone number to the advertiser’s system, triggering the SMS with the PIN code. Depending on the API, this might involve making HTTP requests and handling responses.
    • PIN Verification field: If required, include a field where users can enter the PIN they received. Alternatively, if your API integration supports it, this step can be automated in the background.

    Tweak, test, and repeat. Experiment with different headlines, CTAs, visuals, and form fields. Find out what resonates best with your audience and optimize accordingly.

  7. Monitor performance and optimize:

    Use analytics tools to keep track of key metrics like conversion rates and bounce rates. Keep refining based on what the data tells you.
