Why Are There No Solo Ad Sellers for Other Niches?

7 replies
Hey Warriors,

I'm trying to find a reliable solo ad seller in the smoking niche for a list building test, but have yet to find one. This raised the question as to why there is an abundance of solo ad sellers in the IM/Make Money Online niche and not in others? Can anyone tell me why are give me a platform/website where i can find one? Thanks in advanced!

    Very few other markets want to share their lists, and in fact may have given their subscribers a guarantee that they would not.

      Make sense i guess, but i doubt that every single list owner has made that guarantee.

        I am sure you are correct, there is no resource that acts as a clearinghouse of lists that want to mail on the behalf of others. DOE, is one, it has been around a long time. A regular list broker might have some people willing to send mail to their subscribers.

        Honestly, I am not sure it was ever very popular except for the first years when making a list was considered cutting edge, or outside of MMO.

    The OP is asking too many questions...soon he will figure out the charade. Quick! We must silence him!

    LOL

    Solo ads have turned into a nightmare. It's very difficult to find proper vendors for ANY niche...not just IM. Best advice is to exercise extreme caution when dealing with solo ad vendors. Many times they draw from the same well, so the traffic and leads are 3rd,4th,7th generation leads. Stale and worthless...and from 10 other solo ad sellers lists.

    Are you looking for authority list brokers that are members of accredited direct marketing associations in your target international sectors, individual countries and local areas?

    These authority list brokers generate (and regularly update) user / consumer / customer databases from the things below -- The databases of these authority list brokers consist of names / phone numbers / mailing addresses / email addresses / other important details of specific target user / consumer / customer groups, which they rent out for the promotional campaigns of companies that pass their evaluation protocols...

    • Paid offline and online magazine subscriptions of their private media publication networks;

    • Contests, raffle draws, surveys / forms, opt-in offers and so on of their private profit and non-profit organization networks;

    • Purchases, downloads and renewals for products, services and subscriptions of their private profit and non-profit organization networks; and

    • Pre and post sales inquiries and support calls / live chat requests / support emails received by their private profit and non-profit organization networks...

    Most (if not all) authority list brokers are members of accredited direct marketing associations in their target international sectors, individual countries and local areas. I doubt you'd see many of them promoting their advertising services outside their private networks, since many of them could most likely be getting sufficient business from the other members of their private networks and wouldn't want to risk burning out their databases; and

    I also doubt there'd be many (if any at all) solo ad sellers in the MMO, get-rich-quick and IM spaces (as how it's generally known in places like the WaFo) that are authority list broker members of these accredited direct marketing associations...

    Just because there aren't many solo ad sellers in other niches, doesn't mean you can't find someone willing to do a solo ad. Reach out to product creators, and what they'd charge to send an email advertisement to their list. Most will say no. Some will ask for too much. A few will do it at a reasonable price. Make it happen!
