1 Super Traffic Method for Putting Your List Building on Steroids
Hey hows it going
Today I am going to reveal to you one of the most powerful traffic generation methods that you can use to build your online business. You could quite possibly only use this method for traffic and build your email list into the thousands very quickly.
I will say though that this is a paid method of traffic but the results that you get from using this method as long as you use my tips, will definitely be worth it.
Introducing….. Solo Ads
Solo ads are Super Powerful for building your email list and building your business.
Even if you do not already have a product or an email list it does not matter because if you take your online business seriously and you want to progress then at some point you will create your own Internet Marketing product and when you do it will be a good move to use solo ads to build your list up.
Firstly lets cover some basic questions to do with solo ads:
What is a Solo Ad?
A solo ad is when you pay for a single advert to another persons email list and in exchange they will send you a certain number of targeted visitors to a designated page that you have created.
How Much do Solo Ads Cost?
It all depends on how many people your solo ad is sent out to. If you buy a solo ad and your ad is sent out to 1000 people then the cost may not be that high unless its a very responsive and targeted email list. If you buy a solo ad and it is sent out to a list of say 20,000 then the cost will probably be much higher.
The actual costs go from as low as $17 up to over $500 and even more
Why Do You Think Solo Ads are So Powerful?
Well…. in case you didnt know, getting targeted traffic on the internet is one of the hardest things to generate when trying to build a profitable online business. When you are able to tap into an almost unlimited traffic supply of targeted traffic then this makes solo ads one of the best traffic methods to use as an internet marketer.
Where Do You Send The Traffic From a Solo Ad?
Most solo ad providers are very strict and will only send you traffic if you have some kind of free offer set up. Generally your best off to have some kind of squeeze page or landing page set up so that you can capture peoples name and email in return for the free report/video/gift or mini course that you are giving away. If you only have a sales page then you won`t be able to use most solo ad services so you will need to set up a squeeze page first.
Where is the Best Place to Buy Solo Ads From?
That is a great question. There are some solo ad providers that I am aware of and I will tell you them at the end of this post
Can I Get Scammed When Using Solo Ads?
Well… if you stick to reputable solo ad providers which are ethical then no you should not ever get scammed. You have to remember that these guys that provide solo ad services took time to build there targeted lists and make money from the services that they provide and also it takes a long time to build a good name, so it`s in there best own interest to keep there good name and not rip somone off to make a few quick bucks.
That being said, if you don`t buy a solo ad from a recognized solo ad provider then the risk of being scammed or being sent worthless traffic is going to be higher. If you follow my tips though you will be fine.
Is the Solo Ad Traffic Good Quality Traffic?
When you order your solo ad you specify and choose the niche that you want the traffic to come from. So for instance if you want traffic that is interested in affiliate marketing then you specify this when buying the solo ad. When you are sent the traffic it will then be lazer targeted to your particular niche.
The traffic will not just be the usual bunch of freebie seekers and prospects that never buy anything. As long as you buy traffic from a reputable solo ad provider then they will send you traffic from there buyers lists and there prospects lists so yes it will be very high quality.
Bonus Tip 1
Before you go and buy a solo ad you need to make sure that you will make the most from the traffic as you possibly can, because after all you are paying for this traffic so you want to get the most return on your investment.
When you set your squeeze page up you need to carry out a “SPLIT TEST” first before you start using paid traffic. You need to find out what your squeeze page converts at.
So for example if you had a squeeze page that converted at 10% then you would know that for every 10 people that you send to your squeeze page you would get 1 opt in. If you want to use solo ads then you need to be getting much better opt in conversions than 10% otherwise you will spending way too much money to get subscribers to build your business.
You need to split test your squeeze page with something like Google Website Optimizer and you need to try to improve your opt in rates by as much as possible.
Lets say you have split tested your squeeze page and you have improved the opt in rate to 33% which perfectly obtainable. My adsense and amazon squeeze page converts at 35%.
So you now know that for every 100 people you send to your squeeze page you will get around 33 subscribers This is much better.
So lets take things one stage further
Lets say you buy a Solo Ad for $97 and they guarantee to send you at least 300 clicks
You now know that your going to get around 99 new subscribers from 300 clicks.
This looks ok but to really work things out in more detail then do this other calculation so that you will know how much you are actually paying per new lead into your business.
You know that you will get roughly 99 new subscribers from 300 clicks by paying $97. So to work out how much you pay for each lead all you do is do $97 divided by 99 opt ins which is$0.97. So you are paying $0.97 per lead.
So you know that each lead that you generate will cost you just under a dollar. This is ok but not great. This is where a high converting squeeze page comes in handy. This is why it is vital to split test and improve your page as much as possible because the higher opt in rates you get the more profitable your business will be.
Imagine if your squeeze page converted at 50% (which some do)
You would then get 150 subscribers from 300 clicks
So the calculation would be $97 divided by 150 opt ins which is $0.64. So now you are only paying $0.64 per lead. This is much better. Anything under a dollar is ok but obviously the lower the better.
Bonus Tip 2
Another tip is working out how much money you can make with your one time offer. This is some kind of an offer which is shown after someone opts in. This is a great strategy to adopt because it can greatly reduce the costs of your solo ads. I will explain.
So say your squeeze page now converts at 33%. We know that if we pay for a solo ad which costs $97 we will get 300 clicks and based on a 33% opt in rate we would end up with 99 subscribers.
if you know what your one time offer converts at then you can calculate how much money you will make on the front end, for instance:
If you had a one time offer which you sold for $7 and your offer converted at 3% and you sent 99 people to it you would make $21.
This may not sound like a lot but now your $97 solo ad has now only cost you $76, and you have also got 3 more customers on your buyers list and also 96 more subscribers on your email list
Remember this is all based off only a 33% conversion rate for your squeeze page and a 3% one time offer conversion rate. The better your conversion rates the more you will make and the bigger you will build your email list and faster.
Bonus Tip 3
The price of the solo ad is also important not just the conversion rate of your squeeze page. If you already know the conversion rates of your one time offer and your squeeze page then you can work out how much you will make and how many subscribers you will get based on how much you are being charged for the solo ad.
Just keep this in mind, it is also very important.
Bonus Tip 4
Below are some Solo Ad Sites that are proven to be very good and are also run by reputable and ethical marketers

PS: If you come across any solo ad providers that seem very cheap and they are not someone that has been recommended before or you are unable to find any feedback from anyone that has used them before then stay clear of them. Generally if it sounds too good to be true then it probably is.
Well done if you have got this far, there was a lot of information in this post, but very valuable none the less. Lastly like I said at the start of this post, if you don`t already have a list or an Internet Marketing product it doesn`t matter because you now know what you have to do when you do end up creating your own product and start building an email list.
