Being a Successful Solo Ad Provider (Complete Guide for Starters)

If you want to sell Solo Ads and make money, but did't know how to start, then you have come to the right place. I am going to share with you my own experience and all the pits and falls in the Solo Ads business.

Before we jump into Solo Ads business and start selling solo ads, we have to understand what actually a solo ad is ?

Essentially solo advertisements are clicks that originates from Email Blasts, or Campaigns, Sequences. You can buy a set number of snaps from different solo promotion venders.

Now lets see how you can start the Solo Ads business and what are the come basic steps toward being a successful seller. In this article I have divided the whole story into two sections; One Becoming a Solo Ad Seller and Second Becoming a successful Solo Ads Provider.

Becoming a Solo Ads Seller or Provider:

As we know so far that if you want to be a solo ads provider then you must have an email list of people to whom you can send the ads or links or offers or anything you call it, so first we will take a look on ways of making an email list from the scratch.

1. Making My Email List from the Scratch:

To start build your own email list first you need an Email Marketing Service so that you can actually put the emails you have collect on it and can utilize them with the passage of time.

There are hundreds of Email Marketing Services out there, like Constant Contact, SendinBlue, Drip, AWeber, MailChimp and so on. Some of them are FREE while other have their monthly or yearly fee.

Now I know that if someone is just starting Solo Ads Business then he or she might not want to spend money on any Marketing Service initially, So here is the one from where you can start without paying anything 

Mailchimp's Forever Free Plan gives you access to most Mailchimp features, but limits your total subscribers, as well as your daily and weekly sends. Keep up to 2,000 subscribers across all audiences in your account, and send up to 12,000 emails per month. In any 24-hour period, you can send up to 2,000 emails.

 Go there and create a FREE account and make a New Email List which you can use to collect Emails.

2. Collecting Emails of People in your List:

Well!! There are plenty of ways to build your own email list, some of them you might already know. Lets see some genuine techniques to build an email list.

1. Use Pop-ups, Slide-Ins and other type of ways on your Website or Blog to capture the Emails of your visitors.
2. Use paid and non-paid Social Media to build Email List, Specially Facebook's Lead Generations Ad is best way to capture the Email and other details of people.
3. Buy Leads from other solo Ads providers, because it the cheapest way to get leads as compare to any other paid campaign.

Once you collect enough emails then its time for you to sell your ads via any Solo Ads Marketplace like Udimi or Fivirr etc

Becoming a Successful Solo Ads Provider:

Here are few tips that will help you to be successful and make lots of money out of email list. 

1. Choosing ONE niche:

Before you actually begin collecting emails of the people you have to decide which niche you are going to focus.  Once you decide then just stick to it. Because people with different niches or topics in your email list will not give you good open-rate and sales when you start sending ads to them in future.

2. Choosing the right Audience:

Well most of the successful Solo Ads Providers have email of people from Tier One countries like United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia. 

Its simple most of the third world or tier 3 and tier 2 countries did not gives you good results and that's why advertisers will only pay you for Tier 1 countries.

3. Build Trust with subscribers:

If you want High op-in rate and great results then be honest and don't just blast millions of email to your subscribers. You better go with a strategy and understand the behavior of your subscribers.

Here are some Tips:

• Post Articles on Your Blog.
• Share engaging content on with your social Media followers.
• Make Videos on YouTube about your niche.

In this way people will trust you more, its like being an Influencer not just a Solo Ads Provider who just send emails to the people. 

Extra Tip:

I said above that you can buy leads from other solo ads providers but actually it is not the best way, you should build your own list so that you will know your subscribers and the their triggered points.
