    Where have you had the most success?

    How big is your list and how much money do you make from it at the moment?

    Would the $1,000 (based on past conversion rates, opt-ins and upsell buys) bring in good leads and prospects through your funnel from Solo Ads?

    If so then that is a good investment.

    How have your previous display ads gone? Have you had successful PPV campaigns that you can tweak and re-launch? What is the ROI on your Bing campaigns?

    These two traffic sources are quite different so the conversions and value of the customer will differ.

    Best to compare these two options for past performance and choose which has performed best for you.

      Kill 2 birds with one stone here and do both and spend $500 to each and see what pays off in dividends for you.

    I wouldn't use all of it on solo ads unless you have trusted sources to buy from. Even then I would save a little and start creating your own products of high quality. Also, make sure your squeeze page is converting at a high rate before you start throwing hundreds of dollars at solos. If it isn't good then search the many many posts of what constitutes a good squeeze page.

        The exact thing I wanted to say! I've started earning with CPA but after this want to use CPA with List building.

        The money is in the list

    My vote goes towards testing solo ads....I have experimented with Bing and Yahoo ppv advertising the past 6 months and the biggest roadblock I faced there was low search volume (Bing and Yahoo get about %15 of all the search volume)

    Start researching different solo ad sites and start testing there.

    Also, be very very wary if venturing into the world of safe-swap solo ads. I have spent a small fortune there with little to no return.

    Good luck to you!

    Don't invest too much at one time if you're just testing strategies out. You mentioned that you have the choice to build more email list. How many leads are you getting from solo ads? Did you test price? Did you get any sales? What is your niche? What do you sell? Gotta reveal more details.

    If you are trying to build a brand, maybe. If you want a ROI, then no.

    If you think oil has hit rock bottom then try investing it in an oil etf. Do your own homework though.

    Hmmm. I would think you would do better with solo ads for the money & would reach more people

    Before you part with any of your money I would personally test of all areas before you embark on the next leg of your online journey.

    Do all the necessary due diligence and see which area works best for you and from there will be able to make a more sound judgement.

    Both options are good.

    I would in Bing first.. Master this time of advertising and set it on autopilot.. Then move to solo ads and master it. And so on..

    Cheers,

    dont spend any money on paid ads until you have
    the proper funnel in place for you to recoup the
    cost of the ad spend quickly through your funel

    It would be very hard to answer your question. I don't know you, how much experience you have, what your desired out come is, how powerful you system is in regards to conversions ETC.

    Have you made any sales so far? If you did, how did you do it? Were these 'knock over' sales or did you make them with 'follow up emails'?

    If I were you, and have made sales (with what ever you are selling), I would consider this a 'win' and focus more on this area.

    Expand on what already is working instead of looking for quicker 'shinier' objects to bring you in magic traffic.

    The REAL Magic is in what's already working for you right now.

    There are too many factors involved including, your offer, sales copy etc to say for sure. The best bet is to pick one strategy and test it with as little money down as you can, and tweek it until you have mastered it. Then keep it going and move onto the next.

    All of the strategies you mentioned work, but results vary for different offers. You may find for example that solo ads work brilliantly for your offer but Facebook ads do not. But this certainly doesn't mean that Facebook ads are a bad form of advertising.
