$10 solo ads, for real?

57 replies
Has anyone tried those types of sites that advertise solo ads for $10? Are they even worth trying?

Or have you tried optindatalist.com? 300,000 for $49? That seems low to me, especially if it is a targeted list, like for me to artist.

What is the best solo ads site out there?

    Hi Masterpaintingnow,

    The Solo ad providers that sell $10 solo ads are usually a lower quality. The reason I find this is because the good solo ad providers that have a higher quality list usually don't sell really low priced solo ads.

    Having said that most of the bigger more higher quality vendors will sell $50 packages.

    You can find solo ad providers here on the Warrior forum.

    If you have any other questions about solo ads message me here.

      Why is that? I am asking about websites, not about personal people that you might get solo ads from or swap ads from.

      Then you have a lack mentality, dude - which means you don't think there's more than enough customers for everyone. Do you know there are over 7 billion (BILLION) people surfing the internet everyday? People who are successful on in the internet are more than willing to share any and everything they know because helping other people is what life is all about. I feel sorry for you, man!!

    I ordered a $10 solo ad a while back just to test it for other WF members, there's a thread here somewhere. Anyways, it was a COMPLETE waste of time. I made nothing. No decent clicks. All low quality. You're better putting that $10 into Adwords and advertising that way.

    $10 for a solo ad is very very cheap and the chances are the traffic will be absolutely terrible

    no serious solo ad seller with a good targeted list with buyers is going to sell a solo ad for $10 unless of course he only gives you about 25 clicks

    just rmemeber, if it sounds too good to be true it probably is

    if your curious then just buy the ad and post your results back in here and let us know how you got on but i very much doubt the results will be good

      Well, its official, people are getting desperate but they don't want to increase their resources. Its a poor news, Internet Marketer should be able to distinguish stuff and think careful before putting the precious resources into total waste.
      well, 50,000 for 7 dollar? can you do that everyday? or just lucky ...

        I've seen a ton of hype and positive things said about Fiverr, but apart from paying someone to juggle chainsaws for $5 or something entertaining, I don't get why everyone is so obsessed with Fiverr.

            Some of their top gigs are Xrumer blasts, a bunch of .edu relevant links and thousands of Twitter followers

            I'm sure those are legit, not fake and totally targeted. :rolleyes:

        Make sure to pay attention to the gig's reviews closely. There might be clues there regarding the value you're getting. Also, focus on lists that are relevant to your target audience.

    Aside from a few people getting lucky with those type of advertisements, you're going to get what you pay for.

    But then again, maybe roll the dice...who knows you may get lucky.

    Either way I'd be interested in hearing your results.

      As with anything in business, especially in IM you MUST test, test, teat any new traffic source you're looking at.

      While others' testimonials, advice and input may help give you some background and a general idea of how the source will preform, It's not wise to make your decisions based off of what someone else tells you.

      And with the traffic source only being 10 bucks, it's worth it to test it out for YOURSELF and see what results it yields you.

    You get what you pay for.

    However, If you have an extraordinary back-end set up - you can make apple juice out of apples.

    If your back end setup is less than stellar and your (front - end setup too for that matter) than the semi quality eyeballs you are investing in - are not going to give you that munch bang for your buck.

    I highly recommend thoroughly understanding who's attention your buying so you can adjust your front end and back end processes to match their tastes.

    You have to test and track. If $10 list doesn't produce, scale it up and try a $50-$100 list. More than likely, the more expensive the list, the better quality it is.

        That is why the fiverr/clone platform works well, you go buy other reviews.

    I figured it is only $10. Might as well see what happens. They use a tracker so you can see your open rate.

    They let me pick a catergory. I chose art general. Not sure if they are honest about their categories and if these people are actually interested in art courses, but I will see. The campaign runs tomorrow. I will update with stats.

    For $10 I get 1,000.

    I don't think it will make you money. If the 50,000 is legit, then at least 1% of that should convert. If they are charging that little, it may mean that you cannot even break even afterwards. I suggest that you look at the feedback. It is better if you will get your solos here in WF or in Safe Swaps.

    So here are the results using 10dollarsoloads.

    Of the 1,000--I think they already sent it all out. I also believe you can few the results here https://bitly.com/THvrfh+/global

    It seems to be they use a twitter bot or something.

    I'd say it was a waste of $10. 36 clicks might = a sell, but I don't have any way to check if any of them bought.

    I wouldn't recommend these guys. Don't get me wrong, they are sending traffic as I am getting about 20 hits a day and a couple of signups to my membership site but the pattern of the users is incredibly strange.

    I have noticed every single user that has signed up from them has registered for the site but not actually looked at any of the content that they signed up for. Now this is very strange since the users they are sending are apparently targetted to my site and they are reading the squeeze page before signing up.

    I emailed them asking if they incentivise their traffic in any way but they predictably said no. They only suggested that I was targetting the wrong users but the category I chose from them is an exact match.

    It's just junk traffic. I don't know, you may get super lucky and come across a sale or genuine user but wouldn't recommend.

    That way, you'll know for sure.

    $10 for a solo ad - Depends on how many clicks the vendor is guaranteeing for that outlay.

    Anything more than 25-30 clicks then the solo ad is likely to be low quality. However, there are valid reasons that someone may offer a low priced solo ad such as:

    1) To gather testimonials
    2) To build up a feedback profile
    3) As a 'tester' to get repeat business at a higher price later.

    $10 for how many clicks should be your first question?
    How was the list built?
    What traffic tiers will the clicks be coming from.
    Is the vendor using generic or targeted swipes?
    And so on.

    What keeps these incredulous offers alive? It is not
    the stupidity nor boldness of the seller but the greed
    of the buyer--thinking that we'll get something
    for nothing.

    Reminds me of those 10,000 hits for $30 that were
    so popular about 10 years ago.

    buying solo ad for 10$ to 50K list is like buying those safelists ads to send, those people don't even login to that email boxes, because those contacts already dead from spamming. The more active big list owners sells solo ads to their list, the more ads become declaring as spam. For about 10$ you can expect not more than 8K lists solo ad, but high targeted and more than 30% opened email. Another important thing is your email letter, if you try to send those hyip emails, that forces people to opt in you will lose

    I am going to play devils advocate and say it depends on your niche.

    The price for quality solo ads that target the IM market and sub niches are probably going to cost a lot more than in other niches. The reason is demand.

    I buy solo ads in a few other niches where there is not much demand and get good quality for $10.

    I pay $10, make 3-4 sales and easily make my money back and more.

    I am a new marketer and am not able to invest a lot of money yet. I almost bought $10 solo ads so I could get 1000 subscribers but figured I'd do a quick Google search. So glad I didn't buy into the hype. I still need to get a list and am looking into all possible places but this saved me $10. Actually, more than that. My autoresponder price would increase by $10 a month so this really saved me a lot in the long run. Feel free to message me with ideas to get started with quality clicks for cheap.

    It´s worth than "terrible traffic". After I canceled in the first week the seller wrote to me and I explained I felt the traffic was low quality and did not show the same behavior and conversion rate I was used to from other solo-ads.

    Short after I received a ton of dubious sign-ups. All from the same IP and always several in the same minute. Last but not least - all did not confirm the 2nd step (2-step sign-up).

    I wondered who might have interest to go through the trouble of fake sign-ups to my brand new and not widely known webinar.

    So ... I checked my landing page stats and the IP of 10 dollar ads. Some fake sign-ups were directly from them - the others were all from the same city and through my click tracking I could see that 10 dollar was the referrer.

    I would say: You get what you pay for. But I can´t. Even for cheap you deserve at least low-quality traffic.
