What Are Solo Ads?

Are you an affiliate marketer wondering what are solo ads? Well, look no further. In this post we’re going to answer that question and provide details on how to run solo ads and include some of the benefits.

Solo Ads is an email-based advertising system where buyers can purchase traffic from email lists. It works by having the owner of a list send promotional emails to their subscribers. For example, if you own a list about making money online you could sell promotional emails to affiliate marketers.

In this post however, we’re going to be looking at getting set up with OGAds and then purchasing traffic.

Thankfully, getting started with Solo Ads is straightforward and doesn’t require a lot of technical skills. Simply order the targeted traffic and the Solo Ads seller handles the rest.

 

Create a Content Locker And Website

To get started you’ll want to create a content locker using OGAds and then a website for a profitable niche. If you don’t already have an account for OGAds you’ll want to create one here.

Once you have an account, log in and create a content locker. This is under Tools and then Content Lockers. You’ll want to make a high converting content locker that matches your websites branding. You’ll want to choose one of the newer themes we have such as Brisco or Lumos. After creating the content locker, you’ll want to add it to the website you plan on promoting.

 

Join a Solo Ads Marketplace

Next up you’ll need to find a reliable Solo Ads seller. One platform we can recommend is Udimi, which is a well known Solo Ads marketplace. They have a solid traffic filtering system in place to help prevent fake traffic.

Getting started with Udimi is as simple as pressing the Signup button in the top right, and filling out the signup form. You can sign up with Google as well!

 

Finding a Seller

Once logged into Udimi, you’ll want to press the option Buy solos in the navbar. This will take you to a list of sellers. You’re able to filter the sellers based on the criteria that you have. You’ll be able to see the list below the filters.

You’ll want to review profiles, checking their reviews, traffic quality and opt-in rates. This can be done by clicking on their profile and reading everything from reviews to disclaimers. In this case Khaled only works with the make money online niche. You’d be best to contact the seller, discuss what you’re offering for your landing page, and ensure they can provide high converting traffic for your needs. We recommend starting with a lower amount of clicks to test the quality of the sellers email list.

 

Purchasing Solo Ads

Purchasing the Solo Ads once you found a seller is the easiest part. You’ll select the total clicks you’d like to purchase, add in your website that you’d like to promote, and then continue with the purchasing process.

 

Conclusion

Getting started with Solo Ads is a relatively straight forward process. You do need to do a bit of outreach with sellers to find the best one for your niche. However, with a bit of dedication I’m sure you can become profitable especially if you nurture the leads that come from it.
