How to Get Started With Solo Advertising

By Sallie Mooney


Traffic is the life & blood of any website or blog, without which it can get difficult to find any success. There are both paid and free methods available for attracting plenty of traffic. Some ways to generate traffic will give you great results, while other methods won't. Yet there are methods that bring in excellent results every time when they're done properly, such as placing solo ads in ezines. There's an ezine out there for any possible niche you're thinking of targeting to place an ad in. You have total control over where your ad is placed and when it runs with ezine advertising. This means you're able to test the responses you receive from different ads.

First of all, remember that every ad that you send out has to be professional. An ad that contains grammatical or spelling mistakes isn't going to impress the ezine subscribers who read it. It's essential to use a spellchecker when you write your ads and read them over a couple of times to make sure you've corrected any mistakes. When you place an ad, this is a reflection on you and your product, so if it's sloppy or full of mistakes people will assume what you're offering isn't worth looking at.

Make the effort to communicate with the ezine publisher in advance so you'll be prepared when it's time to send out your ad. This is especially important if you plan to personalize the solo ad, such as adding the subscriber's name into the email subject line. If you can find a way to personalize your ad, your response rates will increase. Personalizing your emails this way is quite easy, so don't miss the opportunity to do this if you can. Before your ad is even sent out, all these terms should have been arranged with the publisher.

If you're okay with offering discounts for your products, there's no better way to utilize them than in your solo ad. Make it an even bigger carrot for the audience by offering a discount only to subscribers to that particular ezine. This discount doesn't have to be a lot, something around 10% to 15% can make a big difference to your conversions. The main goal is to provide a little sweetener for their decision to buy and a small discount will do just that.

In this article, we've looked at some of the best ways to promote your online business using solo advertising. Before investing in solo ads, thoroughly look into which ezines have the highest circulation and are best suited for your niche. Ezine advertising isn't really that complex, because it works like any other advertising, where the same kind of rules apply. Like other aspects of marketing, you have to learn the basics and do some testing to find out what works best. Don't be afraid to get starting with solo ads, as even if you're initial results aren't great, you will learn as you practice.
