The Big 5 Mistakes That Kill Most Native Advertising Campaigns
Mistake #1: Vague valueless headline provides no reason to be interested
Solution: Use a headline which describes the benefit to come 
An accurate headline will also help ad platforms place your ad on the most relevant publisher sites
Mistake #2: Boring Ad image which doesn’t catch attention
Solution: Use evocative images or ones that appeal to your demographic. 
The image draws attention, the title engages. Images of celebrities and peoples faces can work really well. Use Native Ad Buzz to find the best performing images in your niche.
Mistake #3: Image inconsistency between Ad and content page causes viewer friction
Solution: Consistency creates a seamless user experience which is key in native advertising as users make the transition from a publisher’s content to yours. 
Mistake #4: Ad leads to a squeeze or sales page that provides no value Use a content page that offers value
Solution: Viewers are expecting to stay on the publishers content and see a published article which contains some form of value. An article or blog post often work best. 
Keep people interested and engaged and your content will be shared and go viral! But REMEMBER A SOCIAL SHARING WIDGET.
Mistake #5: Landing page purpose is confused with multiple or unclear calls to action
Solution: Have only 1 purpose or desired action per pageHave only 1 purpose or desired action per page. 
Be clear on the purpose or action you desire before creating the call to action and content. You can be subtle if you choose.
