how to become a solo ads seller?

19 replies
hi everyone!

over the past few months iv been looking into solo ad selling, from what i understand people buy clicks from sellers with big mailing lists in which they send out an email with your opt in page or sales page etc etc
now im just wondering, as i think this is a great business to earn some income...

how do i go about becoming a solo ad seller myself?
what are the steps i need to take to become one?

is it as easy as...buying solo ads off others, and then selling your solo ads (the ones who opted in) to people who need clicks on there website and sales?

forgive me if i am wrong, i trust you guys can fill me in with more info.

id like to start working from home and to actually own my own business and i think this is one of the best ways to go about it.

looking forward to reading your advice and responses, i hope we can have some good constructive conversations on this thread.

thanks in advance

    It's best to find a coach who can teach you without charging out the you-know-what to do so.

    You can broker solo ads if you like and make a little money on the side. Starting a solo ad business is fun, but can be costly. Be sure to have a high converting funnel in place first and then you need traffic, then you'll re-sell it.

    Not us... Not marketers. We live far above mediocrity. Always keep this in mind at all times..

      thanks for your response, in regards to me finding a Coach to teach me how to sell solo ads, what is the average going rate of a Coach? iv found many people claiming to be coaches but all have different price ranges from hundereds of dollars to thousands. i have a Funnel ready in place, im just in trouble finding people to opt-in, i understand paid traffic is MUCH easier to get opt-ins rather than free traffic where you have to work tirelessly to get Opt-Ins but id like to do this aswell as it will keep me occupied. what are your suggestions?

      thanks

    Hi Sajali316,

    here are some tips for to start your solo ads business:

    1. You could buy some solo ads from other respected solo ad vendors and resell (you could charge a bit more then they've charged)

    2. Another way is to use Facebook or Bing Ads - go to fiverr.com and buy some $50 or $100 vouchers for Facebook and/or bing ads and use them to drive traffic to your squeeze page

    3. Once you've got a small list - i'd recommend you to use clickbanking - go to Facebook there are plenty of groups for this case

    4. Another option are adswaps



    Have a nice day
    Allen

      The highly successful Solo Ad vendors I know are CONSTANTLY making their List bigger and bigger.

      I mean they really concentrate on it. One Vendor I know spends 9K on Solos himself to build his own solo ad List

        Hey, Robert thanks for your reply

        just wondering, is there a certain point where having too many Subs is enough? ideally id like to stop at a certain point where i have X amount of subs (havent decided as too how much yet) but i have already designed my package and pricing details for my website where the maximum a person can buy is a 10,000 solo ad package (this package will be activated/put on my website once i get 10,000subs ofcourse.)

        thanks!

          Hey,

          You seems to have a good plan. However I need to add that you NEVER stop building your list. As a list building you will want to reinvest a good chunks of your profits to maintain and grow your list. But don't worry because if you get this right, the bigger your list, the more money you will make.

          As for selling 10,000 solo ad packages when you have 10k subscribers, you can't do that. 10,000 subscribers doesn't mean that you'll be able to deliver 10,000 clicks to your buyers. In fact, 10,000 is not a really big list, it's a good list for a beginner. You'll be able to buy 100-500 clicks package or more, depending of the responsivness of the list. It's not really about the size, but about the responsivness, but with10,000 subscribers you'll be at $100/day.

          But, as said above, with a coach, this will mostly be $150-$200/day for the same amount of efforts from your part.

          You should have already started I believe?

          Franck

      Hey Allen,

      thanks for your reply,

      in regards to me paying for traffic i will go about buying Solo Ads, i actually have a small list of 5 solo ad buyers who have a good rep and have great testimonials and i also have been delving deep into conversation with them and creating a good future business relationship so i will be using these 5 to buy solo ads off in order to build my list. I will also do some free traffic advertising to keep me ocupied and yes, i understand it is ALOT slower and work rate is upped in so many more levels lol. do you have any suggestions in regards to generating more subs via Free Traffic? social media etc etc..

      i have seen some reviews for Fiverr and paid traffic, although it is really cheap i have found out that alot of buyers only generate traffic to there funnel without getting any Opt-ins ofcourse id like both of them but wouldnt it be a waste of money if i only got traffic i.e 200 people click on my funnel and only 1 subs, would love to know what your thouughts are

      have a great day!

    You will need the following:

    1. 2 domain names...
    2. Web hosting
    3. A squeeze page
    4. An autoresponder
    5. A freebie (a free report,video or audio)
    6. A tracking software.
    7. You can start from scratch, without a list,

    You start building your list...

    If you want to build your list fast, you're going to have to pay for traffic. And the easiest way to build your list is with solo ads.

    When can you start selling solo ads?

    Once you get 50-100 clicks from your daily broadcasts, you can start selling your traffic.

    That it....

      Ninosem, thank you for your informative reply

      can i ask why i would need 2 domain names? i know id need one for my solo ad website but why would i need an extra domain? please advise..

      i have been told one of the best tracking software is one called ClickMagick or something along those lines.. i have actually checked it out and have read reviews on it and i may use that as my tracking system. i will be using Getresponse as my Autoresponder and i already have a free report video set up

      i have no subscribers as of yet but looking to start ASAP, id like to keep it in a ratio of something like 70% paid traffic and 30% free traffic as again, id like to keep myself occupied and try my hand in trying to drive in some subscribers by myself

      thanks

    The easiest way to set up as a solo ad seller and have a ready made audience of buyers is to join udimi.com . If you want to take it seriously I would build my list away from Udimi and use other sources like Facebook (Facebook ads and buy solo ads from there) etc to build your list. And use Udimi as a selling platform.

    Build your list, sale your ads - this is how you can become solo ads seller.
    But I think, it is better to monetize your list selling your own or other people's stuff.

    You will be best advised to get a coach you can trust. As the Business itself can take a year to learn front to back. I myself got a coach and will consider referring. But, whom ever is interested must be willing to sacrifice and invest in themselves. A solo ad biz is not a part time job if you are looking to make $3k,$4k, up to $10k per month.

    There is a lot more to it than just buying low and selling high. You have to learn to market yourself as well or no one will buy from you. At least not regularly like you need to do to sell everyday.

    You will also need to spend money on very good subs to get someone interested in buying from you. No sharing or found lists...for $15. You buy from reputable ad sellers, and build a list to 3000 subs before expecting to sell 100 clicks each day.

    Not for the faint of heart or from the broke!

    Rick

    How does the senders email and return email work? Do you just change it to the solo ad buyer's details?

    Benefits to being A Solo Ad Provider

    Working only two hours each day sending a few broadcasts to their lists.
    Being able to see the money coming in each day verses the money going out.
    Easy to scale up business model. Very little work for very good results.
    Very profitable as a your list of subscribers are grown as you earn money.
    Pros:

    ⦁ Selling Solo Ads is so easy to do that it makes sense to get involved.
    ⦁ Once the Solo Ad business is learned you can start making money almost immediately.
    ⦁ Fast start up and even fast money coming in daily
    ⦁ A Solo Ad Service helps others increase their product sales and grow their business.
    ⦁ You are able to grow a huge list of subscribers and be in demand. While you make huge profits.
    ⦁ Most Solo Ad Vendors promote their own products to their own huge lists so as to make even more money.

    Cons:

    ⦁ Start up costs can be quite expensive due to mentoring requirements. The Solo Ads Business is not something you can learn for free.
    ⦁ Only basics of this business is discussed or outlined in any free blogs or articles as it appears to be taught by the Solo Ad Vendors themselves.this type
    ⦁ The mentoring to create such a rapid growth business online, requires money up front. So those not able to afford to spend $3000 to $10,000 on private lessons, and a list, will often fail to make this work.
    ⦁ High Cost to get started. A list of 2500 to 3000 subscribers, normally costing about $2500 to get, is needed before being able to sell your first 100 clicks to someone for a $35.00 dollar profit.

      First you have to find someone in the sketchy solo ads business.

      Then you have to let them know you'd like to sell solo ads.

      They'll decide if they trust you Or not because they don't let just anyone i on their scam. I mean secret.

      You can usually find these people in Facebook groups. Called something like solo ads testimonials.

      You can read more about the solo ads testimonials scam if you
