    Why not try using safelists before buying an expensive solo advert?

    That way you'll find out if the offer converts, and work out what sort of return to expect on your solo advert purchase.

    Chances are that most of the people selling solo adverts are using safelists to build their lists in the first place, so you could try and cut out the middle man.

      Is there really any credible save-list providers that anyone has had decent results from?

      I just haven't had any luck finding any

    You could do a google search for something like:

    inurl:affiliate "keyword""email swipe"

    and that'll give you affiliate pages with your keyword & email swipes for you to take a look and see what they're doing for paid products in your exact niche.

    Also, since you're starting out.. I'd recommend writing a few and split testing.

    My main tip...

    Write the email as if it's coming from the list owner...

    "hey {firstname}"
    A friend of mine has put together a new training video series all about
    making $1000 in under a week!
    And it's all Free!
    I recommend you take a look as soon as poss ETC.

    Writing as if the list holder is writing add's trust and increases opt ins.

    Good luck.

    what works best for me is just copying your headline
    and making that the text of your swipe for your solo ad

    Just remember you are selling the click...you want them to click through to your lander. You are not selling anything but the click. Let your lander sell the next step.

    thanks all for you advice
    Question When I google safe lists I see sites offering email blasts on a credit system
    Is this worth while or a waste of time

    What I like to do is to join the list of these solo ad sellers as they will be constantly sending email to their list. Those emails that catches my attention will be kept in another folder as my swipe email. I will study how they write the email and model after them
