Niche Marketing: Solo Ads

A solo ad is an ad that is sent out to an email list or ezine that only has your ad. You will want to do a bit of research on this as well. Select ezines or opt-in lists carefully.

Make sure the ezine will allow you to place your own subject line in the email that will be sent out. If they will not allow this, then I recommend not using that ezine.

Find ezines that are targeted to your niche.

Perhaps ask the list owner if they have references. Subscribe to the ezine yourself to get a feel for the quality. Find ezines that are sent out only a few times a week.

If you can find some good affordable ezines, you can create some quick and heavy traffic. Make sure to write a compelling ad copy as well.

Your ad should have a headline that captures people into reading the rest of your copy. Tell the reader what you are going to do (solve a problem).

Then, give them the solution and benefits. If you can, give the reader testimonials. Give the reader your unique selling proposition. What’s unique about your offer?

Then create urgency. “For a limited time” is an excellent urgency creator. Then, close the reader by having a call for action (Don’t delay, take action… click here now).
