Solo Ads too Expensive?

Why are Solo Ads Expensive especially for the newbie?

    Hi,

    Solo ads prices varies a lot. You can get cheap clicks from $0.30 and "expensive" clicks for about $1.00. The price gives an indication of several things.

    1. Cheap clicks are often low quality traffic that doesn't convert into sales. This is often from T2 countries. Spending $100 on cheap clicks can give you few opt ins and no sales.

    2. Expensive clicks are often because the traffic is hight quality from T1 countries and from fresh lists. Spending $100 on hight quality clicks gives you lots of opt ins and sales.

    There is no point looking for cheap clicks. What you want is quality traffic.

    Heres a couple of quality Solo ads providers:

    Igor kheifets
    Juan Morales
    Justin Spencer
    Igor Finkel
    Moshe Lugasi
    Ron Green

    To mention a few...

    I Hope this helps

    They're not - last I checked both you or I could get the same rates on them, and I'm far from a newbie

    Prices of solo ads varies. It may sound expensive for beginner or newbie because they haven't seen the outcome yet. But once these newbies finally got returns on these solo ads, they would soon realized that it's not that expensive after all!

    The price varies also according to your niche. When you are in trading for example or in high profitable niche. Swap will be good for you if you are newbie.

      A very good question

      I would say whatever price you pay for solo ads (or any traffic source for that matter), is only expensive if you are not getting results (people on your list and sales made) coming out the other end.

      I therefore would answer your question by saying that solos can appear expensive to newbies because they are yet to find out the ways to effectively and efficiently leverage their clicks. This is achieved with an efficient well converting sales funnel, followed by consistent follow up communication to both build a relationship and make sales by offering products or services that can help the subscribers.

      As mentioned above, there is also the issue of making sure the provider of the solo is one of the good guys and this they would have to do with a bit of research. Fortunately with both Udimi and the various Facebook groups that have been set up, this is fairly straight forward to do.

    The real trick is to make sure your funnel is paying you more than you spend - you can buy solos all day long if you get it right

    I think it's more about expectation. Often you get what you pay for, in almost every case I'd rather pay the extra for higher quality traffic then pay less for more traffic that is lower quality

    Your main focus should be return on investment (ROI). If your affiliates were generating you $4 EPCs (Earnings Per Click) you would go out and buy $1 clicks from a solo ad vendor all day long.

      I still find it hard to believe all those quotes people are getting from their sales of solo ads. Probably because I have never bought any. I mean how many offers in your daily email inbox to you actually read?

        That's because they have really good sales funnels with one or several up-sells on top of their one-time offer.

        You can't think in terms of "oh, who's ever going to read my emails anyway..." because that's seriously defeatist thinking. You've lost before you even began.

        Many of the top solo people put many hours into their product sales pages and funnels to make sure they pulls in the most sales. It's a lot of work upfront but it's worth it when they make the $$ back. For solo ads the sales funnel matters 100%.

        Not many, but the ones I do read it is usually because for the subject line.

        And, I am on a few lits that I read because of who sent it, but I do not get daily mails from them. Usually weekly and usually good stuff. But, again, that is only 3 of the lists that I am on. the rest get unsubscribed when I have the time

    Contact people in your niche and you can possibly negotiate.

    I suggest taking great caution with so called popular solo ad sellers or you'll risk losing money you invest to poor quality subs.

    If you are going to use solo ads, don't build your list with them. Send people directly to your offer. If you are going to use solo ads to build your list, just know that many of your subscribers are also on 5-10-15 and even 20 others lists.

    If you really want to build your list, go with pay per click ads.

      I totally disagree with this statement, i usually use a landing page to leech the emails from persons from solo ads. The members on such list are usually highly targeted and converts best than other methods like PPC etc. However it depends on who you are buying the solo ads from. I do not buy any solo ads that charge below $100, the high cost ones are usually the high quality solo ads.

    Solo ads aren't very expensive.

    They are actually one of the best paid traffic sources..

    Of course there are better, cheaper traffic sources (Insane ones)

    However, solo ads are great, and get leads + sales

    Supply and demand...

    When I first started you could buy quality clicks at 30 cents all day - every day...

    These days - they tend to go for 50 cents and upwards simply because people caught on... Also, many courses have been released that glamorize the solo ad business - both for being a buyer and being a seller...

    Unfortunately - the cost per click is not always an accurate measurement of the quality of the traffic...

    I've had good results with "cheap" clicks and terrible results with "expensive" clicks. It can really be a hit or miss sometimes - which is why it's good to use places like Udimi that have peer review systems in place. However, even these don't guarantee good results...

    If you are in the IM niche - then using FB ads will be just as expensive - maybe more. It's just a cost of doing business - put together a good sales funnel and track everything! Then watch your data and make improvements where needed.

    Solo ads aren't for everyone, FB ads aren't for everyone. Try a few different paid traffic sources and stick with the ones you like best and can get the best results from.

    Hope this helps.

    Cheers,
    Coby

    If you are new to solo ads, remember to buy only from reputable sources. Read the testimonial to get some ideas and start small. Monitor the clicks you bought closely to tweak your offer and identify best provider. Next, scale up accordingly.

    As long as it give you a positive ROI, it doesn't matter whether it costs 0.30 or $0.90, you are making money and that's what really matter.

    Somewhere in the past I used to deal with free web hosts, they imposed ads to my site and it got on my nerves. So I decided to use paid host, hostwinds, and from that time I never switched off. I like it. This is my experience, and I hope it will also help newbies here.

    Depending on your strategy, you can use Funnel Click
    It's cheaper and you I usually get a higher conversion.

    It all depends on your budget and were your looking to get your solo ads from. Not all solo ads are alike. I have been using Facebook groups ( just type: solo ads ) it will give you a list. Also,I have been using to.Another solo ad source.Called " Click Drop " here they make sure everyone follows the rules and if,someone.Doesn't follow through or you don't get your full clicks.You bought. They will get you a refund back.

    I do not agree solo ads are not expensive if you do your homework. Do not just purchase solo ads Make sure the seller is in the same market as you and also test your squeeze pages with free advertising before you spend on solo ads. Robert

    You will want to invest in high quality solo ads, plain and simple. Why? Because if you build a good sales funnel (and this is the kicker) you will have a list of people who are willing to buy.

    You want to keep them on your list by giving them regular emails that give them value... get them into the habit of opening your email and then introduce them to relevant products that you actually believe in.

    If you do this your money will be well spent...
