Assessing a Solo Ads Offer – Case Study

Incomplete Puzzle A few hours ago, my Facebook friend Neil Ashworth has pointed to me some solo ads questions posted by Glenn B. on the wall of the Facebook group Internet Marketing Super Friends.

I’m not a member of that group and anyway by reading the questions I quickly understood that the length of a proper answer is more appropriate for a blog post than for a Facebook reply.

So I decided to write this article. In this way, even if in the meantime Glenn gets the answers from the members of that group, more people will be able to benefit from such a public case study.

Different Types of Solo Ads, Different Approaches

Recently, while being on GooglePlus, I was discussing with a nice lady different things about solo ads. She suddenly asked me for the link to the page where I sell solo ads. Guess what?
