Looking To Buy an eMail Blast Advertising

13 replies
Hi Warriors:

I'm looking into buying a blast from someone with a niche list to test out how a landing page performs. So, my questions are:

1. What is a good price for one blast? (do they price it per 100 subscribers? on the avg. open rate?)

2. Is there a directory that list email list owners of different niches and the number of subscribers they have, the open rates, etc.

Are these stats verified or can they lie?

3. What are the pros and cons of solo ads vs PPC


Thanks for sharing your experiences!

    One of the best places to buy soloads is right here on this forum, go to the Warrior Forum Classified Ads subforum and you'll see plenty of fellow warriors selling soloads to their lists and more importantly you'll be able to read the reviews.

    Another good place is the SafeSwaps network. Here you get to see how many subs the provider has on his list and the feedback from other members.

    Good luck to you.

      Hey thanks, Mike. I didn't know you can find that here.

      Anyone have comments on how it compares to PPC?

    Solo ad is the best solution to get high quality & targeted traffic and you don't need to search the best keywords to target or etc. If you get the good solo ad sellers then the conversion will be good as well. You can find on the soloaddirectory(dot)com or safe-swaps.

    If you use PPC then you need to search for the best keywords and pay for just a click, it's totally wasting your money. Just my 2cents.

    Solo Ads are a great way to start sending targeted visitors to your FREE offers in order for you to grow your list faster than FREE Traffic Generation Strategies.

    You should be using both FREE & Paid traffic to build your list but using Solo Ads is a great way to find that initial momentum.

    I have tried several solo ad providers and here are a couple I would recommend:

    1. Safe Swaps.com

    2. Reed Florens Solo Ad Directory

    These two are enough to get you started and once your list begins to grow you can start doing Ad Swaps with other list owners and this won't cost you anything as you are both only sending an ad to each others lists.

    You can find these ad swap partners at this very forum.

    Hope this helps have a great day my firend!!!

    ppc does work well but often there are a lot of hoops that you have to jump through

    solo ads are a lot easier, its just a case of contacting the solo vendor and arranging your mail out

    most of the solo ads which i have had best results with are $35 - $50 for 100 - 200 unique clicks to my squeeze page

    the key with solo ads is to generate as much as you can on the front end and squeeze out as much as you can from every solo ad campaign

      Great point about the hoops one has to jump through just to get approved by Adwords, for example.

    Thanks for the info on how to get soloads from other warrior members. I was wondering how many times it takes to get a good response from them? I've heard that with newspaper ads they usually have to see it listed at least a few times before they will decide to check it out. Do these work the same way? Anybody have any good reviews using soloads? Thanks.

      Great questions I'd like to know, too. Paying for traffic is new to me, too. So, thanks for asking these

    Thanks for sharing your experiences!

    1. If you want a specific category like "nutrition" and want to blast to thousands set up an account with HOME - Rent-A-List.com: Advertise Online using Email Advertising, Sponsorship Advertising, Solo Advertising, Direct Mail List and get Guaranteed Visitors and make more leads and sales online
    Lowest price is 300 subscribers for $20.

    The pros of doing an email blast is quick traffic and leads. Not to mention a residual lead flow from people who don't open up their email every day. I personally have used solo email blasts to generate thousands of leads and sign ups. The only draw back is spam filters may catch some of the emails so the prospect never sees the message.

    PPC is also a great way to get quick targeted leads for whatever you are promoting. The only downside is is can be expensive. You may get a lot of clicks and only a few leads. You can go through $100 in clicks super fast. There are different alternative PPC companies other than Google that are much cheaper with a ton of traffic
