The idea\nis to find a \u201cSolo Ad Vendor\u201d in other words a small business owner, a blogger,\nan email newsletter publisher, or an email marketer and you PAY them to promote\nyour own advertisement to their own newsletter subscribers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, and in my opinion, Solo Ads are only feasible if\nyou have an email newsletter that\u2019s in a very mainstream niche, such as internet\nmarketing, business opportunity, self-help, weight loss, relationships, or\nsomething that\u2019s VERY mainstream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s because, according to my own experience, and again in\nmy opinion, the majority of sizeable email newsletters who are capable of\nreliably selling advertisements are usually based upon a relatively mass and\ngeneral market, and not a very specific or niche market. That\u2019s because, in\neconomic theory, it would theoretically be easier to build an email newsletter\nsubscription base and attract subscribers if a ton of people were interested in\na topic, as opposed to something that\u2019s not as popular, and in a very narrow or\nultra-targeted niche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Solo Ads Are Simply Put A Form Of\nEmail Advertising Ideally Used To Promote Your Own Email List!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As someone who is admittedly totally addicted to email\nnewsletter publishing (lol), I\u2019ve naturally put a ton of thought into Solo Ads\nas a mechanism upon which to generate leads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve put a ton of thought into the world of Solo Ads, and I\u2019ve\nalso brainstormed a ton about this topic with fellow students, colleagues,\nfriends, and peers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, I\u2019m always trying my best to brainstorm wise\nand frugal strategies for finding the best Solo Ad Vendors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As someone who has always hand a huge \u201ccheapskate\u201d mentality,\nI\u2019d be honored to share my own personal philosophies and strategies for finding\na reliable solo ad vendor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Is My Favorite Solo Ad\nMarketplace?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There have been a few Solo Ad Marketplaces that have come\nand gone over the years, and there are definitely a handful of places where you\ncan find Solo Ads, however, to be honest, Udimi is my favorite marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two main reasons why Udimi is my favorite Solo Ad\nMarketplace. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Udimi Feature # 1 \u2013 Buyer Protection\nPolicies.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I think that buying any type of advertising outside of a\nmarketplace isn\u2019t a very good idea, unless you are very technically savvy and\nknow how to track your results with 100% accuracy and confidence. Because otherwise,\nin my humble opinion, it\u2019s too easy to get taken advantage of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, I usually think that if you are buying any type\nof advertisement, you should definitely consider buying through a reputable marketplace\nthat can keep track of your order, track your clicks, and show you the results of\nyour campaign in plain sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m personally a paranoid type of person. I\u2019m always very\nscared about IT security, data privacy, and certainly I\u2019m paranoid about people\ntrying to rip me off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best things about Udimi, is that they have sound buyer\nprotection policies in place, so you have more control over your Solo Ad\npurchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, what happens if you find some random Solo Ad\nVendor outside of a marketplace, and you buy a $50 advertisement, and then your\nSolo Ad Vendor totally runs off and never sends you the clicks? In other words,\nwhat happens if you get ripped off?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What if you try to contact the Solo Ad Vendor about the\nadvertisement you purchased, and they ignore you? What if they take your cash\nand then ditch you without offering any service at all? Or what happens if they\nonly send you 10 clicks when you ordered 500?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If that was the case, and if you purchased a Solo Ad\nprivately, outside of a trusted marketplace, then it might be difficult (or at\nthe very least frustrating) to get your money back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you purchase your Solo Ads on Udimi, you could then elevate your case to the support staff. They will investigate your case, and if they find out that your Solo Ad Vendor tried to scam you or rip you off, and if the vendor never sent you the clicks, then Udimi can safely and easily issue you a refund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Udimi Feature # 2 \u2013 Public Review\nSystem<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Arguably the single biggest feature that Udimi offers is\nthat the public review system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason why this is very important, is because only\nverified Solo Ad Buyers are allowed to leave reviews. This, in my opinion, can help\nto minimize fake reviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is important, once again, because I\u2019m a very paranoid person.\nI personally believe that reviews are very easy to fake when they are outside\nof a moderated community or marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my opinion, reading reviews are also a huge variable when\ntrying to find high quality Solo Ad Vendors, which I will elaborate on more in\na moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When Trying To Find The Best Solo Ad\nVendor, Always Read And Study The Reviews Of The Solo Ad Vendor!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I think that public reviews are probably one of the\nstrongest indicators when trying to find good Solo Ad Vendors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another huge tip, is to search and scan the reviews and look\nfor keywords that indicate that the Solo Ad Buyer indeed made sales from the\nSolo Ad. Keywords such as \u201cGot Sales\u201d, \u201cSales\u201d, \u201cSale\u201d or other indicators that\nhelp identify when the Solo Ad Buyer actually made sales is always a good thing\nto look for, in my opinion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Udimi also lists the percentage of customers who reported\nsales from their solo ads, so pay very special attention to that statistic,\nbecause in my opinion it\u2019s one of the most important statistics to consider!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Surest Way To Find Good Solo Ad\nVendors? My Humble Two Cents\u2026<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the day, I would say that the single surest\nway to find good Solo Ad Vendors is by experimenting with them yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your statistics are ultimately more valuable, and reliable\nthan anything else, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because nothing is realer than reality; your own statistics;\nyour own actual marketing experimentation, tests, and results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my honest two cents, the main scientific principle of\nadvertising in any form, is that your own data and your own results are the\ntruest metric of what works, and what doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, the only way to tell if your own email list\nbuilding funnels, your own copywriting style, and your own offers work, is to expose\nyour content to your ideal audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Testing Is Always The Truest Form Of\nFeasibility Analysis.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, your own statistics, your own results, and\nyour own experiences help determine what works, and what doesn\u2019t work for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Until you actually test things, you will have no idea what\nworks, and what doesn\u2019t work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ideal end user always decide what works, and what doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Thank You So Much For Reading!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I truly hope that you found this document well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As always, if you ever have any questions, or simply wish to\nbrainstorm, then please never hesitate to give me a buzz!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Until next time, please have a great day, and I wish you the\nbest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cordially and humbly\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Mike \u201cThe Solo Ad Chief\u201d DeVincent<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>MrComputerScience.com<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this blog post I\u2019m going to share my honest two cents on how to find reliable Solo Ad Vendors.
