Do you have success with Solo Ads?

It depends in what niche, but a google search targeted to your niche would help you find some options. To find the good ones however you will need to search for some reviews for the ones that you would have found or come back to this forum and consult on your finds...

Hope this helps...!

I personally have had quite good results with solo ads, often breaking even and even profiting per run depending on the quality of the traffic.

What niche are you promoting?

Instead of asking if solo ads are any good.

Ask yourself how good are your marketing chops & how consistent are you with your message.

Because if you're buying solo ads then that persons email is going to be on several other emails.

What makes you stand out?

You can go here for solo ads: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SoloAdsTestimonials/

Make sure you look for vendors with testimonials about sales sales sales.

Solo ads work but here is the problem, lets say you buy 500 clicks and you get 150 opt ins, cpl sales or no sales, once you get those 500 clicks thats it the money is gone and traffic stops. Also bare in mind those ppl get bombarded by offers every single day or even twice a day so if you really have to buy solo ads dont buy 500 or so clicks from 1 vendor but pick 5 or more and test them all, lets say buy 50 clicks from 5 different vendors and see which one is best than you can scale up right?

I've had mixed results with solo ads. From what I've noticed from my own results and other peoples results...to be successful with solo ads in the Internet marketing space you have to be very hypey which didn't sit right with me.

Solo ad subscribers usually want instant gratification with next to no work. They want everything for free too which was annoying.

You can find solo ad seller on facebook groups and Udimi that's not hard to search just type in google.

Not a problem to generate some sales just make sure you have some nice offers and promote them in a nice way.

I have a list of around 28K that was built entirely with solo ads. While this list does not perform as well as lists I have built using other methods like my blog and PPC advertising, it is still quite profitable. One of the best things about that list is that in the end it cost me very little to build because I usually profit or at least break even on more than 60% of my solo buys.

Solo ads are an awesome way to build a list if you know what sellers to buy from and what kind of offers to advertise (solo ads generally only work well for the "make money online" and "online business" niches).

It's true that you need to be a little more on the "hypey" side when creating your squeeze page copy, and maybe that puts some marketers off, which is fine with me because that means less competition for me!

Once you have a list of reputable sellers, are able to build a squeeze page that converts at 40% or better, and have a back end offer that can convert at least 1 sale per 40 subscribers, there is absolutely no reason why you shouldn't be able to break even with just about every solo ad you buy, thereby getting your leads for free.

As far as the problem of the leads you get often being on many other lists, that's pretty easily solved. You just need to stand out from the crowd and provide value and your emails will get opened. In fact, gaining your subscribers trust is not that hard to do if you know your stuff and are willing to help your subscribers learn.

In my experience, you will want to avoid marketplaces like Safe Swaps and Udimi and buy only from private sellers. Most of the top sellers can be found on Facebook and Skype. However, you need to watch out because there are a lot of scammers. There are several lists floating about that were put together that contain all reputable sellers. If you do a search on the forum you should be able to dig them up.

The concept of "Solo Ads" practically doesn't exist anymore.

Why? Because, nobody sends your swipe. Instead, solo sellers send a "generic swipe" using a rotator link inside which...

A) Redirects the visitors to your site after you've got your clicks (example 100 clicks).
B) Then redirects to another site and so on.

90% of the solo sellers do this is why the quality of the traffic that you get goes down as you get clicks from people who're "cold" and really don't know what will find on your website.

IMHO, funnel clicks (clicks from download pages - not from exit offers - could give you better conversions).

Just my 2 cents.
