1. Secret Solo Ads Success Formula
Introduction:
If you have been involved with Internet Marketing for any length of time, you
would probably have heard of the saying “the money is in the list.” Simply put,
the larger your list, the more sales you can potentially make from your
subscribers. Internet Marketing Gurus have huge lists, which is why they can
“crush it” by sending out a promotion to their list and getting a huge response
in the form of sales.
How can you build a large list, quickly?
For some time now I have tried to build a list by using “Free Traffic” with
methods such as SEO by building websites that have an optin form on them
where people sign up and get some sort of “free offer.”
It might be a free report on a topic that is relevant to the traffic, or a free 10
part series that is sent to their email on a daily basis, or a free video course
that you can download, free software such as a Wordpress plugin. The
possibilities are endless.
However, let me tell you that this is not the fastest way to build a list, unless
you have daily visitors to your site in the thousands, and even in the hundreds
of thousands!
For someone who is new to Internet Marketing and is just starting to build
their list, the chances are that you will not have that many visitors to your site.
So attempting to build a list this way can prove to be very slow going.
Would you like to know of a way of quickly building your list in with a
guaranteed formula that works like clockwork, every time?
If I could do it all over again from scratch, I would get paid traffic to build a
list. Why? Because with paid traffic you can become a lot more “focused” with
your list building. It is literally like turning on a tap!
The great thing about Solo Ads is that the traffic is INSTANT, and there is a lot
of it. If you get in contact with someone that has 100,00 people on their list,
and you pay them the right price then they are going to send you a lot of traffic
with just one click of a mouse.
Because of this rush of traffic to your site, you can build your list very, very
fast, which is why I love solo ads advertising!
Yet so many people who start a business online shy away from actually
spending any money on BUILDING their business, myself included!
Until I “bit the bullet” and tried paid traffic, and I never looked back…

2. We all pay for training – sometimes over and over again as we search for that
golden nugget that promise to make our affiliate account light up like a
Christmas tree with cash. The secret is that there is no secret….
How about spending that money instead on something that will give you sales,
and affiliate income?
What if I could give you a Solo Ads Formula that WILL work, because I use it?
I will reveal this Secret Solo Ads Formula later in this report….
I love solo ads because they are consistent, targeted, predictable traffic.
Using this one technique, you could build yourself and empire in double quick
time.
Running solo ads will be one of the fastest, easiest routes to
building a list that you will ever use.
Make sure that you reinvest back into your advertising the money that you
earn from the traffic that you get.
If you knew that for every dollar you spend, you can multiply it 5 or 10 or even
just 2 times, and all that you really need to do is come up with ads that work,
and then run them over and over again, wouldn’t you want to do this in as
many good places as you could find?
So if you are going to spend some money on your business, one of the BEST
places you can do it is with solo ads.
What are solo ads?
A Solo Ad is an ad that is sent out to an email list, newsletter or ezine.
Have you ever sent out follow-up emails from an auto responder like AWeber?
Or maybe you have started receiving emails after signing up for a free offer?
This is the beginning of a newsletter.
Solo ads are stand-alone ads that are sent to a list, in a newsletter. The ad is
the only thing in the email and because of this the ad is the only thing that has
the reader attention. You can generally write your own subject line, and most
publishers let you make the ad as long as you want.
How Much Do Solo Ads Cost?
This will depend on the list owner and the size of the list. The bigger the list
the more you will have to pay. For anyone that is starting out you can buy solo
ads that will give you 50 or 100 clicks. On average for this you will pay $15 -
$30. Some list owners may charge more.
You could be buying a $50 solo ad today, and it will start generating
subscribers and then sales almost immediately! I do this every week. One of

3. my solo ad last week sent me 249 unique visitors to a squeeze page and
generated 134 subscribers.
You may be thinking, “$50 does sound like a lot of money!” However, last
weeks ad became profitable within 48 hours. It worked out at 20 cents per
click, and just under 40 cents per lead, or subscriber to my list. Can you see
why paid traffic is SO AWESOME?
What is My Solo Ads Formula?
3 Solo Ads = Targeted Traffic
I bought solo ads in three different ezines and ran each one three times.
People need to see an ad a few times before they click. Just like infomercials
where you will see the same message repeated at least 3 times in the same ad,
but in different ways.
By the third time you will find that the desire to buy has become much
stronger, and you feel yourself reaching for your credit card.
Here are two steps to success…
Step #1: Subscribe to 3 Targeted Newsletters related to your niche.
At the time my niche was Affiliate Marketing, so I wanted to find newsletters
that were related to that topic. You can Google with “your niche + newsletter”
or “your niche + ezine” and take some time to dig though the results.
You may get lucky and find a few great newsletters to subscribe to, and also to
run a solo ad in, but I found that this was a rather time consuming process.
If you are in the Internet marketing niche, then you can check out the Warrior
Forum. Try to search for “solo ad” and you will get some hits.
If you are in other niches then you could try browsing around other forums.
Some forums have categories that are created in the forum for people that are
looking for solo ads.
You could also check out websites in your niche. You can contact the list
owners directly and ask them if they are willing to sell you a solo ad.
One of the absolute best resources for solo ads is The Directory of Ezines,
which has the most up to date listings and ad rates. You’ll find that it has a
HUGE ezine directory and the owner Charlie even teaches you how to use solo
ads more effectively.
However, it does cost to join which, if you are just starting out, may be out of
your reach for the moment. Sign up for the free newsletter anyway as Charlie
gives away a lot of great tips and information about newsletter advertising.
Another great resource for solo ads (which is free to join) is Safe-Swaps.com.

4. Aimed around list owners that are wanting to swap solo ads with each other
on the site so that they can grow their lists, many list owners also offer
competitive rates on solo ads.
Safe-Swaps.com allows you to rate the person providing the solo ad. This can
be very useful when deciding whom to buy your solo ad from.
It is very important to find a targeted newsletter. I got a better response from
a newsletter that was about affiliate marketing that I did when I chose a “make
money online” list, for example.
If you have the money it is best to TEST each solo ad, using a unique link for
each ad. Using a tracker such as Hypertracker.com I was able to see how many
click I got on each ad, as well as how responsive each list was to my offer.
Again, if you are just starting out then find a targeted newsletter. As you start
to get a better ROI (return on investment) you can start testing. Although
testing IS important, it is something you can do without to start with if money
is tight.
Other free or lower cost directories you can check out to find newsletters
include:
The Ezine Directory ( $7 for $7-day trial) http://www.ezine-dir.com
EzineAdvertising.com ( $24.95 for 3 months)
http://www.ezineadvertising.com
Ezine Hub http://ezinehub.com
Best Ezines http://bestezines.com
Ezine Finder http://www.ezinefinder.com
Step #2: Contact the owners directly and asked them how much ad space
cost.
I mentioned this idea earlier in this report. Email a list owner directly. Always
ask the owner how many subscribers they have, and whether there is a
discount available for multiple ads.
There are literally THOUSANDS of small ezines that will run your ads
inexpensively, and if the publisher has a great relationship with his readers,
and doesn’t run too many solo ads, you could get some AMAZING results.
If the list owner does not have some sort of relationship with their list, then
you can be sure that any ad you run with them will probably get a low
response.
By contacting list owners directly, you may make friends with them.
Check out the list first by subscribing to it, just in case the list owner sends out
ads for things to buy and nothing else. You can judge the value of the list by

5. the quality of the content.
“The money is not just in the list, but also in the content that is provided to
the people who are subscribed to it…”
Step #3: Ad writing tips
The best tip I can give you, and what worked for me, was to use the word
FREE. “Nothing to buy” can also get great responses too! You really want to
create interest from the reader of your solo ad so that they click through to
your opt-in page or website.
The purpose of the newsletter ad is to “sell the click.”
You should do everything you can to get people to click on the links. Your
website needs to be able to get them to sell them, or get the reader to sign up
etc.
For direct sales emphasize two benefits on your sales page.
Keep all your paragraphs VERY short – don’t write more than 4 lines. Use
short sentences and lots of bullets points because most reader skim to see
what peaks their interest, and if nothing does then they move on.
Most of all repeat your URL and ask them to click on it!
Conclusion:
I don’t see many WSO’s on solo ads in the Warrior Forum. Which is surprising
because it is really one of the BEST ways to build a list quickly.
Solo ads do take some testing and tracking, and once a “guru” finds a
place where his ad converts, he often keeps that to himself. This is a secret
that many Gurus hold close to their chest – building a list with Solo Ads…
Any ad that gives you a good response, scale it up. Repeat the ad, and then
begin testing again by changing things like the subject line or even making
some new ad copy. Keep the original ad running and continue to monitor it
responsiveness.
Common sense dictates that if your paid advertising is not working – you
spend $50 and get nothing for it. Stop running the ad.
