Has Anyone Actually Used Solo Ads Successfully?

I personally have not done a lot with solo ads but I have done a bit and researched the topic a good amount. There is a reason why they are considered so valuable for list building and I expect that reason is that they work. The key of course is that you need the correct solo ad provider sending it to a quality list that is well targeted for your type of offer.

I know there are a lot of solo ads sold via this forum and I have noticed that they often have many very positive testimonials. I do not think that those testimonilas would exist if positive results were not there.

Hi,

1. Go to Facebook and join some Solo Ad groups there.

FREE to join most of them.

Get a feel for WHO, why what and are the most trustworthy sellers out
there who will actually try and help you with your ads.

2. DON'T just throw your money at it and expect the WORLD the MOVE
for you.

YOU must look for people who sell solos that are adding FRESH leads and
BUYERS into their business and have lists that are best suited to your
offers.

3. DON'T just throw a shoddy PLR ebook and expect to get results.

Create a video recording of yourself, sell yourself, tell your visitors what
they are going to get if they join your list and how you can help them.

STAND out from the crowd and get them to LIKE YOU!

If people like you they will OPEN your emails all day long.

Give them your PHONE number, SKYPE ID etc and add it to the
end of your emails.

Let them know you are there to HELP them first.

Give, give and give some more until YOU can see from your stats that
you have a following who will listen to you as their 'GO TO' person.

Then you will find it TEN times easier to make sales anyway.

You'll find you won't have to sell but just help and then the sales will come
naturally thereafter.

HELP people first and they will then PAY you to help them once you
have a great offer they know will help solve or reach a GOAL they
want to reach.

yes, you surely raised a good valid concern. I wish there is a way that they will give us a test-drive before we pay them for nothing. As my parent always told me that honesty is the best policy. I hope they will pick up on that and deliver good product.

I don't currently use solo ads but this does not mean that they don't work.

Solo Ads require a 'learning curve' just like any other type of marketing [Paid or FREE].

Sure there are some solo ad vendors who actually want to rent their lists instead of selling their own stuff. It's just a personal choice.

It takes money, time & constant effort to find the solo ads that will work for you.

Not every list provider will work for everyone.

Those aren't gurus. They are get rich quick scammers telling you exactly what you want to hear.

I promoted a book on Facebook for about 2 months and didn't get any conversions AT ALL. Mind you, this was a book about the NFL. Total waste.

You can join FB groups as already said by mark. I just want to add that there you will find a Group Named Solo Ads Testimonials. I saw many of Internet marketer's share their experience with solo ad providers and you can pick some Good providers easily.

Also,If you need Subscribers in IM niche then i can help you. You can checkout my signature.

Thanks

There are always a good and a bad way of doing any marketing activity.

With Solo ads, You need to select few good reputable solo sellers (Who actually add fresh subscribers daily from various different sources) and try 100 clicks only ...
If your offer of squeeze page is converting with their traffic then only purchase more from them and keep finding more such sellers who are fit in with your own marketing objectives.

I had more success using mobile marketing than I ever did with solo adds.

One company I used was Buzzcity.com and I had a more responsive audience then I did from solos.

Yes I did get sign-ups using them but have not usedBuzzcity for awhile so you will need to do your own research on them.

Just be cautious before sending your offer - make sure you don't allow offers to be sent blackberry phone - for some reason Nigerian scammers have tapped into the blackberry system. Other than that I had a positive experience with Buzz

Good Luck

Here's a group on facebook if you're looking for some good solo ad testimonials.

Bingo! You just answered your own question

Solo ads really aren't that viable of a traffic method. I prefer to use PPC or banner ads and direct the clicks to a landing page.

Most solo ad subscribers only have about a 2% click through rate which is absolutely terrible. I get roughly 30-40% to click through with my list built with PPC.

I've been using solo ads since July 2014 for the internet marketing niche and have identified three providers out of about 10 who are giving me consistent and mostly profitable results up to January 2015.

I got one from searching this forum and two were from a long list of recommended sources.

The others have been a total waste, without opt ins or very few opt ins and no conversions to sales.

So what's the story? I'm not really interested. My interest is in getting profitable conversions and once that happens on a consistent basis, I increase my spend with that source.

LB.

I only have little bit of experience with solo ads. What I have learned so far is that you will need to be very very good at creating the most powerful Ad Copies for your offers.

I see what you mean here too. If a solo ad vendor brags about how good the quality of their list is, why wouldn't he take advantage of that and make even more money by selling any products he wants to sell.

But again, we dont know what we dont know. We will never really know this side of the Solo Ads strategies. I do know that they work. But you have to be very good at email marketing in order to make it a profitable strategy.

I hope this helps!

I wish you the best of the best!

Keep up the great work!

Cheers!

i agree with the above...i have 50% optin rate with solo ads and terrible sales. you have to realize you are not the only pitching to these people. they have a 100 other people sending them stuff to buy.
i think the best buyers are from paid per click traffic....
forget the bull shit of posting in facebook groups .....does not work
