Hello and welcome to all the readers.

Today in 'back to basics' we explore solo ads

what is a solo ad

A solo ad is a type of advertisement that you send using somebody else email list to promote your product/opportunity.
It is similar to pay-per-click advertising.
The owner of the email list will send the message on your behalf and you receive a highly targeted audience.

Solo ads can also be sent to the members within a program, like a list ads program.
You can exchange your credits earned by viewing solo or other types of ads on the program to buy a solo ads
This type of solo ads are not targeted to a specific niche.

Credit based emails are sent based on the credits to allocate.
While the solo ad goes to all the members on that list/program

Targeted niche solo ads are not cheap. They are basically sold in batches of 100 clicks or more. Targeted niche solo ads do guarantee a set of clicks for the price you pay.

what is a solo ad network.

A solo ad network is a list of programs who join together to send one solo ad across all the participating programs.
i.e. All the members of the participated programs will get the solo ad.

things to be aware

  • Before sending the solo ads, list owners will verify the solo ads. It's their list and bad ads can harm their reputation.
  • Not all email lists are effective for solo ads. You need to make sure you pick the right one suitable for your niche/product/opportunity.
    Sending a crypto related ad to cat lovers may not produce leads.
  • Solo ads may not work for everyone. Poorly drafted emails can be costly.
  • All the emails sent using the solo ads should be tracked properly as cost is involved.

Few benefits:

  • You can grow your list quickly and build a targeted audience
  • List can help you build relations and generate sales in short as well as long term.

Few drawbacks:

  • Solo ads are costly.
  • Leads generated using solo ads may not convert into sales, wasting resource and money.
  • Solo networks may restrict promoting few products/opportunities.

@imfarhad - For my personal experiences, I strongly not recommend any newbie to jump into any Solo Ads Campaign until they have learned and well understand of how things up and go. Because most of the time, the newbies enter into Solo Ads, they probably dream for a quick buck on sale from the mailing list. But they never realize that they are using someone else email list. Yes, you can make some sales to cover the cost and generate some profit or even big profit from other people email list. But at the end you are losing money in the long run in non sustainable way.

Once buying any list from Solo Ads Campaign, you need a well plan to convert those lists to be your own list and know how to warm up those lists to be hot list. As you mentioned earlier, specific target niche list of email may be not that cheap. Whatever it is, the newbie can experience it by allocate some budget to test the market before scale up.
