solo ads

Do Affiliate Programs allow you to use solo ads advertising for their products or do you have to ask permission to do so?

    It is more the list owners who don't like selling solo ads to affiliate programs than the affiliate program itself.

    You should check the terms of the affiliate program to make sure it is okay, but that doesn't mean list owners will accept your solo ads.

    Some will accept any ads, some will want the traffic to go to your own unique squeeze page before being redirected to an affiliate offer.

    Same with things like "Empower Network" and MLM offers. Some don't like those kinds of offers, others feel they are saturated, others don't care.

    When working with solo ads as a buyer or seller, communication is the key.

    If you are unsure about anything, for a list owner or an affiliate program, do not be afraid to ask questions.

    Affiliate programs will tell you for each offer what not to do, if there are any restrictions, but there won`t be many for sure.

    And it`s not true, I personally blast my list with affiliate offers. A lot of great offers are promoted through affiliate programs.

    I don't think there are much restriction with blasting affiliate links in your solo-ads but most marketers i know, send their visitors to their own opt-in pages first before you sending them to your affiliate links.

    Some ask you how you intend to promote their products when you complete the affiliate sign up page.

    I have never come across an affiliate program that says you cannot use solo ads.

      No, it is someone else's list.

      You buy Solo Ads to send your offer to other people's lists, not your own.

      The OP is asking if affiliate programs let you send your affiliate links in Solo Ads to lists you do not own.

      Most affiliate programs do allow this, but many list owners do not want direct affiliate links in Solo Ads that they send to their list from someone else.

      So if you are using Solo Ads to send traffic to affiliate offers, many list owners will want the Solo Ad link to go to a unique page you own (like a squeeze page), rather than directly to an affiliate offer sales page.

      Many also don't care.

      But for Solo Ads, you should be directing them to a squeeze page or some other page that lets you capture leads on your own list.

    Basically, each solo ad provider briefly gives the criteria on suitable promotions, somewhere. Most of what I have seen is to a free offer, as on an opt in page. Once you build a list that way, then you can promote anything you want to your list.

    I would rather send them to a squeeze to capture the lead first...make the carrot something relating to the offer you want to promote. Then offer the affiliate product as a OTO, giving a deeper understanding and a more in-depth solution to the free information you gave away as your carrot.

    You will build a list and get sales. Funded proposal. Discounted, free or even get paid to build your list.

    I don't think most affiliate programs would have a problem with that. I would still check their TOS to be sure but you should be fine.

    sellers don't let you promote affiliate products directly or any paid offer for that matter, I never heard of venders restricting promotion types, I only seen cpa networks ban certain promotion types like that.

    I think that depends on the network which you are affiliated. That also depends on the product you are offering. I guess there aren't much restrictions in terms to promoting the offer.

    I've been promoting affiliated products to my list and so far, I have no issues about it. In fact, this method brings me more conversion.
