Why registrations are not turning into FTDs
Registrations grow and first deposits do not. Six pictures on where the funnel leaks after the sign-up, and what to check before buying more traffic.
Regs are up. FTDs are not.
Do not buy more traffic yet.
Where the funnel leaks
- Day 0: no deposit guide for the trader's country
- Day 1: nobody answered the first question
- Day 3: the trader forgot which link they used
The case in numbers
NO FOLLOW-UP: 11% reg → FTD — Partners who only post and never DM.
DM WITHIN 24 H: 23% reg → FTD — One message with the local deposit method.
DM + DEPOSIT GUIDE: 29% reg → FTD — Plus a 60-second how-to-deposit clip.
Check before you buy
- Registration → FTD below 15%? Fix the follow-up first
- Is the local payment method in the pinned post?
- Did every registered user get one message in 24 hours?
The short of it
When registrations grow and first deposits do not, the leak is almost never the traffic — it is what happens in the three days after the sign-up.
Partners who send one message within 24 hours roughly double their registration → FTD rate; adding a short deposit guide for the trader's country lifts it again.
Before buying more traffic: check the rate, the pinned post and the follow-up. Then scale.
