    Simple, here on warriorforum there are plenty of soload providers that have testimonials from past and even up to current buyers.

    They normally give their previous buyers discounts if they give a testimonial. Sometimes the results are so good that they dont even need discounts to leave a good feedback

    Hi illusioztan,

    as Joseph mentioned, check sellers testimonials first. There's also a great Facebook group to check sellers credibility - Solo Ads Testimonials .

    Even if a seller has good testimonials contact him personally before buying the package.

    you should always clearly define:
    1) Exact price (always ask for first time buyer discount in 95% you'll get it )
    2) Time of delivery
    3) Top Tier (tier1) traffic percentage
    4) Is it email traffic only or are there other sources included?

    It's always good to have written confirmation regardless of their testimonials plus networking should also be your focus.

    You'll know leads quality only when they are on your list. Be sure to always check follow up open rate (if it's 0 or only few %, that's a good sign you've received fake traffic).

    Be sure to have your funnel and tracking software working, because "it's not you, it's me" situations happen quite often

    Good luck

        Best way to know about solo ads quality is to be present at the right places.
        Become member of well know solo ads testimonials Facebook groups, mingle here , talk to other marketers.

        Word of mouth if by far the best guarantee of a quality traffic.

      Hi Phil,

      Thanks for the suggestion. Regarding item 3 (top tier traffic percentage) and item 4 (email traffic only or other sources), i don't quite understanding about it. Would you mind to explain more?

      By the way, i only know about bit.ly for the tracking software. Is there any other tracking software which i can use?

      Thanks

        Hi guys,

        By the way, i come to know that it is better to buy the solo ads from individual instead from a company that sell solo ads.

        Is it because it is cheaper or there is some other reason behind?

        Thanks

        No problem,

        3) Top Tier traffic comes from Tier1 countries - US,CA,AU,NZ,UK. Best quality leads and potential buyers are from those countries. If you plan to sell solo ads one day, you better make sure that atlease 70% has subs from tier1 countries.

        4) Solo Ads (by definition) is renting part of your list to someone by mailing them swipe including buyers link. Most of the sellers use only this method but some, add other sources (exit traffic, funnel clicks). When buying solo ads expect only email clicks.
        You can also buy funnel clicks but they MUST be cheaper

        I currently use MyClickBoss which is great all-in-one solution for tracking your listbuilding business.

    Check the testimonials of others

    Then test with a low amount of clicks ie 100, where you don't stand to lose a lot of money (circa $50-$75) and if you know you have a good converting squeeze page you can track to find what kind of numbers you get on back end sales

    Sometimes I don't go with the testimonials for one reason. Sometimes they can even be paid for but I will go with those I know have a reputation for quality. They may not have a lot of testimonials but they help me achieve one thing.

    Quality leads - BUYERS That sums it up for me.

      Yeah I don´t really trust testimonials either, reputation and first time discount makes most sense I will give it a go!

    Best way to look at who others are buying from and getting great results from.

    You will quickly see a trend, seeing the same names pop up over and over again.

    Check out a solo ad directory by Reed Floren (free)

    Get a copy of Solo Ad Blackbook by Matt Bacak (paid)

    Read testimonials on their solo ad sales pages, ask them how they built their list.

    Basically what I was doing until I got Solo Ad Blackbook

    Hope that helps

    The best person to buy a solo ad from is the person not selling solo ads. The worst places to buy solo ads are from those who are actively selling solo ads because it means those leads are getting sent offers and emails way to frequently.

      Will, you got a point there, but this isn't the rule. Most solo ad vendors I work with take care of their lists daily by adding few hundred fresh subs.

      The real problem are beginners in solo ads business who are eager to make money without reinvesting par of their profits into further list building.

      Yes, true.

      It's not only that those leads are getting sent offers and emails way to frequently - they are the wrong type of lead: Only interested in free stuff with no intent to buy anything and with no money to buy anything.
