Basic Information About Solo Ads!

Advertising with solo ads is not rocket science! I'm sure that almost anyone has seen at least one solo ad and can figure out how to write one. You only need a little guidance with writing that first solo ad to make it effective.

Placing a solo ad is a very effective way to advertise because it goes out to a crowd of people who ask for your information. It is delivered right to their inbox.

The subject line of you solo ad will be the first thing that they will see, make it something to strike their attention. Your subject line will determine if they are attracted enough to open the e-mail and read it and take action on your information.

With solo ads you are given more space to tell your readers about all the benefits of your product or service. Be personal like you are having a conversation with your friend. Write your ad like you're actually sitting across from the person or talking to them on the phone. Keep it short and to the point. You don't want to sell anything you just want them to get to your web-site.

The most important part of advertising is targeting you audience. Let them know what you can do for them, why do they need this, how will it help them? You really want to focus on their needs here.

You want to find an ezine that has the same topic like the product or service you are promoting. I suggest once you find a ezine that is targeted to what you are selling, that you subscribe to their list. When you subscribe to their list you can learn more about the types of advertising that they do and you will also know when your own ad is sent out

Start testing your solo ad in a smaller ezine as they will be less expensive for you. Then when you have tweaked your ad and it is successful you can move to the larger, more expensive ones. Lots of ezines offer 2 for 1 solo ads, look for the sales. The more times your ad runs, the more profits you should make. And don't forget to test and track your ad.

Include a call to action, tell them what to do! You can also put in more than one link to your website in a solo ad. After a paragraph or two put that link there, if you have created enough interest and they are ready to go on to see what it is you are talking about and buy now, why wait until the end. They may have lost interest by then and you just lost the sale.

Always read through your ad a few times out loud to make sure it sounds good to you and always use spell check on your work. Your goal is to have a professional looking ad that attracts your audience.

Spend your time and attention on what counts. Writing great copy, sticking to your budget, and finding a publisher that you feel is in your niche. Solo ads are not a one shot deal, you will want to place it again and again.

Re: What newsletter program to use? - Just did a quick review of GetResponse and v6.0 is impressive! but you should go with the Premium package which is $10 more than the Basic package per month. Does anyone know if they require Opt-in confirmation on imported contacts? I noticed they also include video emails and twitter integration. Nice product offering.
Re: What Sells Online? - I agree with topeyinka, Information products(how to's) are whats selling right now.
Re: Why Some Websites Sell and Others Don’t? - There is myth that if you build websites people will come. It is never through, you need to do a lot of things to make your website to work. You have many models of attracting traffics to your site. PPC Article Marketing SEO Press Release Banner Ads Forum Posting Classified Advertising Media Buying Solo Ads and a lot of more. If you are not doing any of the above your websites will just be one of the millions of the unknown sites in cyber space
Facebook Fan Pages - I have a Facebook Fan Page for my business, Solo-E.com. But my efforts at really getting it going (getting new fans, promoting discussion/interaction, etc.) have been, I'll admit, half-hearted. The biggest reason? I hardly ever visit the fan pages of other solo entrepreneurs, even those that I hugely admire. How about you? Do you regularly visit fan pages? What draws you to them, if you do visit? If you do have a Fan Page, what has your experience been with making it successful? How do you even measure that success??
Re: Quick Ways To Utilize SEO Effectively - There are many different types of content: blog content, website content, newsletter content, audio & video content, the list can be endless. I'll just list 10 types of website content here: * Index/Introduction * Product Descriptions * Testimonials * Reviews * Resources * How-to Information * Downloads * Contact Information * Navigation/Site Map About/Company Info Anchor text as the others have said is the hyperlinked words on a web page - the words you click on when you click a link. Anchor text is important because it tells the search engines what the page is about. Used wisely, it boosts your rankings in search engines, especially in Google.If you use "click here" as the words people are going to click on, you're telling people the page is about the subject "click here", which is not the phrase you want to rank highly for, the text you need to use is a keyword that you have chosen for your website, blog or article.
