Solo Ads – 9 Common Mistakes Advertisers Make

Solo ads are powerful advertising tools. However, any tool has its own limits and if you don’t know how to properly use it, then it won’t help you to achieve your goal. Today’s article reveals some of the most frequent mistakes ezine advertisers make.

1. Writing common subject lines – Your ad is not the only message that lands in recipient’s Inbox. If the subject line doesn’t grab the attention, the solo ad won’t be opened.

2. Writing long and boring solo adverts – People don’t have time to read novels and when they have it, they read real novels, not long advertisements.

3. Talking about themselves – If you’re not a very known person, forget about the pronoun “I”. No one is interested to find out what a John Doe did yesterday or one week ago.

Solo Ads Advertising Tips

Boost the Open Rates of Your Solo Ads with Emotional Headlines

Solo ads that are just advertisements don’t get good results. Why? The average Joe doesn’t like ads but entertainment and related things. Today’s article reveals how emotional copywriting can help you boost the open rates of your solo adverts.

David Ogilvy – known as the Father of Advertising – said, “On the average, five times as many people read the headline as read the body copy. When you have written your headline, you have spent eighty cents out of your dollar.”

What is the simple conclusion that any email marketer should draw? Focus on the subject line of your ad because that is a key point for the success of your solo advertising campaign.

Target Your Solo Ads For Higher Conversion Rates

Solo ads are a necessity in online advertising.

Yes you can have your blogs, hundreds of pages of content, pay-per-click campaigns, and highly optimized pages for search engine rankings, but you still won’t receive the kind of bulk exposure that solo ads can give you. Effective solo ads can give your online business the shot it needs to quickly become a household name.

Think about it. Let’s say, for example, that you have received a solo ad about a brand new product some guru is launching. Pretty soon, you’re going to see that same ad in hundreds of different emails, in blogs, on websites, in reviews written about the product… just about everywhere because of one solo ad.

Pay per click advertising cannot do that for you. Writing hundreds of pages of content can’t do that for you. Only solo ads. Because it’s an instant advertisement. With just one click of a mouse your solo ad is sent to thousands of people all over the world. Anyone who subscribes to the particular mailing list you submitted your ad to will see that solo ad.

What Can I Do About Those Exclusive Mailings?

One of the complaints ezine publishers hear regularly concerns “exclusive mailings” – or “solo ads“. These are emails sent to the ezine subscribers which usually contain an ad or other information. Frankly, I’m tired of hearing about it.

Let’s think about this logically. I subscribe to TIME MAGAZINE – and I pay for it. Yet, TIME makes their money mainly from advertising. They routinely send me extra mailings with special offers – in addition to the regular ads in each issue.

If I don’t like it – they are not going to give me my money back. In fact, I would be lucky if I could make them stop sending the magazine before the subscription ran out.

Solo Advertising: Understanding the Process

It’s almost too good to be true. As if you thought it couldn’t get any better than Direct Mail Advertising, along came “solo ads” or “exclusive ad mailings“. Your ad alone, by itself, sent to all those recipients. The mere thought of it concluded the same with so many people: this is it, my website is going to blow up, I’m going to be RICH. So why are there so many disappointments?

Simple, caught up in the “high” of forthcoming success few come to realize, or understand, how the system works. This article sums up the process, hopefully giving you a better understanding of what to expect with your solo ad. Kind of like a tutorial.

Overall, there are three factors you will want to understand when calculating the results of your solo advertisement.

Free Solo Ads – Stop Lying to Yourself!

A few days ago I got an inquiry from a potential customer who was asking me about the ezine ad space available in one of my newsletters. The final remark from that inquiry made me curious: the prospect pointed very clear that she was interested in any type of ezine ad space, but not in solo ads. You don’t have to be an expert in ezine advertising to know that solo adverts are the best ezine ads, so I asked that lady what was the mistery behind her strange approach. When I read the answer I couldn’t believe it: “There are a lot of places where my solo ad is published for free, so why should I pay for it?”

So I decided to write this article in order to help a lot of newbies who think the same.
