You can make a lot of money with solo ads if you do things the right way and find good ezines.  Some tips when using solo email advertising.

Finding good places to place ads is the hardest part. It is important to track each ad with a tracking link. You can find ad tracking software/websites that give you the link. These are well worth doing for each and every ad you buy.

Unlike typical links, in a solo ad most people wont care if it looks like an affiliate link. As long as you target the right person and give them what they want.

Ie. a solution to a common problem

Track your clicks with something like clickaudit.com or adstracker.com
You can also setup a tracking link on your own domain with freelinkcloaker.com or a simple redirect page or a subdomain.

Keys to solo ads success:

1. Don’t be too salesy
-instead agitate a problem/frustration and offer a solution

2. Keep it short and to the point

3. Offer a compelling solution

4. Give the link

The subject line is the key to get people to open a solo ad. ASK A Question. “Are You Sick Of This?

Sample:

Subject: Are You Sick Of Not Getting Traffic? Get This New Strategy…

If you are sick and tired of not getting traffic to your website then this email is for you.

A short email like that will get more clicks.

Where do you find good places to run solo ads?

I like traffictesters.com they test ads for you every month and share which work and which don’t.

You can also find gurus in your niche with huge lists and ask to buy an ad directly from them.

There are also quite a few mailing companies that will send your ad to millions of double opt-in addresses for a reasonable price. Do this after testing and finding a good ad to send. It can be a $1000+ to send to millions.

One mailing list broker I have heard good things about is http://www.headstrong-media.com/

Or http://www.infousa.com

Make sure they are mailing your ad to their opt in lists. You don’t want to buy email addresses and try to send your own ads. Good way to get shut down by your host or ISP.

Typical cost for a big email blast is

Reaching Targeted/Business niche (double opt in)
3 million emails – $3,200 (3 separate 1,000,000 email deployments)
5 million emails – $4,500 (1 deployment of 5,000,000 emails)

Give solo ads a try. With a great ad you can do well. Some ads fail so it is no guarantee but you can reach a lot of people with one ad.
