The Challenge

Great Product. Wrong Language.
Zero US Trust.

Trade The Pool is the only prop firm built specifically for stock traders. 12,000+ symbols. No PDT rule. Short any penny stock with no restrictions.

The product was exceptional. The problem was everything around it.

Founded in Israel by Michael Katz, TTP had incredible design and a passionate community. But their marketing spoke like a translated document — not like a native English speaker. US traders didn't trust it. Conversions were bleeding.

Their ad accounts had no structured testing methodology. No attribution tracking. No lead generation system. No email nurture sequences. Traffic was being sent to the homepage instead of optimized landing pages.

YouTube was unoptimized. Creative was generic. And 95% of their target audience — American males aged 20-50 who trade stocks — was slipping through the cracks.

They needed more than an ad manager. They needed a complete marketing infrastructure rebuild — from the ground up.

The Strategy

6 Initiatives.
One Integrated System.

We didn't just run ads. We rebuilt their entire marketing infrastructure — from the words on their homepage to the emails in their funnel. Each initiative fed the next, creating a compounding growth engine.

01
Homepage Redesign & US Market Copy

We Rewrote Their Voice.
In Natural English.

Trade The Pool's homepage was beautifully designed. But the copy read like it was written by someone who learned English from a textbook.

Phrases were technically correct but emotionally flat. US traders could feel something was off — and that killed trust before they ever saw the product.

We rewrote every word on the homepage in natural, conversational English. Not just translating — reframing the entire value proposition around what US stock traders actually care about.

Key Copy Changes
  • "A Stock Trading Prop Firm Built to Fund Traders"
  • "You Do the Trading. We Bring the Money."
  • Pain-point questions that hit real trader frustrations
  • 3-step process: Evaluate → Get Funded → Withdraw

The redesigned homepage converted significantly higher once implemented. Trust went up. Bounce rate went down. And for the first time, American traders felt like they were buying from a company that understood them.

02
Pain Point Color Block Testing

Our Secret Sauce.
24 Messages. Real Data. Zero Guessing.

Before spending a dollar on production-quality creative, we needed to know exactly which messages would resonate with US stock traders.

So we ran our proprietary Color Block Test — 24 bold, simple static ads. Each one a single pain-point message on a colored background. No fancy design. Just raw messaging.

We tested across four categories: Capital frustrations, Prop Firm discovery, Day Trading pain points, and True/False engagement hooks. Targeted US males 35+, top 50% income, minimum 2M+ audience.

Success Criteria
Impressions400+ (enough data)
Results5+ clicks (real interest)
Cost Per Result$0.50 or less
Bonus ThresholdCTR above 1.8%

The winners became the foundation for all subsequent ad creative. We knew exactly what traders cared about — before spending big on production.

03
High-Converting Landing Page

2X Higher Conversion.
Than the Homepage.

Sending paid traffic to a homepage is like sending a customer into a department store when they came for one thing. Too many options. Too many exits.

We built a dedicated landing page that did one thing: convert stock traders into evaluation sign-ups. Every element was engineered for that single outcome.

Bold headline. Floating benefit pills. YouTube testimonials from real funded traders. Social proof with specific dollar amounts. And multiple CTA buttons with urgency-driven copy throughout.

04
Lead Generator & Email Nurture

Tens of Thousands of Leads.
From One eBook.

TTP had traffic. What they didn't have was a way to capture it.

We created a high-converting lead magnet — "How to Start Day Trading a Funded Account" by Michael Katz. Positioned as a free guide packed with strategies, risk management, and the path to funded trading.

Deployed as exit-intent popups and placed in strategic areas across the site. The result: tens of thousands of high-quality leads captured from traffic that would have otherwise bounced.

But capturing leads is only half the equation. We built a 6-email nurture sequence that moved leads from curious to converted:

05
YouTube Optimization

From Invisible
to Discoverable.

TTP had YouTube content. But nobody was finding it.

Videos weren't optimized for search. Thumbnails didn't grab attention. Titles were generic. Descriptions lacked CTAs. And the channel structure wasn't built for watch time.

We overhauled their entire YouTube presence — not just cosmetically, but strategically. Every change was designed to increase discovery, engagement, and conversion.

YouTube Overhaul
  • Thumbnail redesign for higher click-through rates
  • Title optimization with highly searched keywords
  • Description templates with CTAs and links
  • Playlist organization for watch time
  • End screen and card strategy for retention
  • Content strategy: leaderboards, funded account updates
06
Video Ad Creative & Scaling

The Ads That Printed Money.
$18K From One Video.

With pain points validated through Color Block Testing and a landing page converting at 27.8%, we had the foundation. Now we needed the creative to pour fuel on the fire.

We developed video ad creative that spoke directly to the pain points we'd already proven resonated. Real traders. Real stories. Real results.

The strategy was simple: find winners, create variations, replace underperformers. Rinse and repeat.
