    A solo ad is when you pay someone to send out marketing to their email list.

      That's exactly what it is...

      here is where you can find some ~> Reed Floren's Solo Ad Directory

        thanks for that directory but it seems almost all ad sellers are in the IM niche.

        i'm in the wine niche as well as the camping/outdoors/survival skills niche. i think i may be S.O.L.

    The main difference a solo ad has compared to other advertising mediums is that a solo ad means you are advertising to a list

    What does it mean?

    A list usually means that it contains targeted customers who are interested in receiving certain information

    They usually converts the best as compared to other advertising medium

    The only risk you have to take is the solo ad that you are going to buy your ad on

    If you buy solo ad on a list that doesn't have responsive customers, you may be throwing your money away

    Hope this helps!

      Not S.O.L. just harder to find - just do a little Googling... I know there is a huge site that Ron Douglas mentioned once that had lots of "other niches"...

      Maybe someone will be smarter than me and be able to remember it...

      For some reason I always think its "ArcaMax" but thats not the one...

    Hi,

    Drop it. Solo ad is dead. It's costly and results are not great.

      Not from my experience and many I know - it's just the opposite... Solo ads in many cases are doing better than ever! Same with banner ads, which some have called 'dead' as well. It's just not the case.

        I think how much success you get from solo ads depends on 2 main factors - quality of the list + quality of the offer.

        If the list is good, well maintained by the owner who sends them quality information and stays in touch with them instead of just sending them one offer after another, plus your offer is well matched and nicely presented, then you may experience good results.
