Here is a guide from a top vendor from a reputable site I use to buy solo ads for building my list.  I cover 5 secret tips to ensure the quality of the traffic you purchase is the best possible. It comes from one of the most successful solo ads sellers. I will reveal the site below.

“If you’re new to buying traffic online you may have some reservations or worries about how to know which sellers are trustworthy and provide a high quality traffic.

To help you out, here’s my top 5 tips for identifying quality vendors:

#1 – Avoid or minimize traffic purchases from people who directly canvass you to buy from them without even attempting to build a relationship with you or provide value first.

And once you have made a purchase, they simply deliver bot traffic (which simulates real human traffic but isn’t real) or they do not even deliver a single click.

If you’re buying through Udimi, you’re already benefiting from its advanced seller validation – we run a three stage ID check which stops scammers advertising on our platform. But if you’re shopping elsewhere, bear this point in mind.

#2 – Avoid getting traffic that is priced way below the market. At this point, it is between 10 to 35 cents per click & this can vary and fluctuate!

Good quality traffic usually costs at least 45 to 50 cents a click as it reflects accurate targeted audiences coupled with the vendors’ level of service, ability & competency to improve your squeeze, and sales & funnel pages.

In the solo ad market, price is often (though not always) an indication of quality.

#3​ – Only purchase from vendors with multiple SALES testimonials.

There are numerous testimonials out there but what really differentiates between good and bad testimonials? Simply ones that generate SALES! Opt-ins can be high but if the vendorhas a low percentage of testimonials with sales compared to the rest, it is better to avoid them.

#4 – Great vendors assist you with your squeeze or sales funnels.

Vendors who run a long-term sustainable business want you to profit from solo ads and they will try to help you in optimizing your squeeze or sales pages. Avoid dealing with vendors who take your money and offer zero advice on your funnel. Note you are creating partnerships with them so choose wisely.

#5​ – Top tier vendors often have multiple video testimonials of SALES which you can verify with their clients or customers themselves.

Vendors with multiple video testimonials tend to be the real deal. This indicates they have been in the industry for enough time and they take care of their customers – hence their customers in turn return the favor by creating a testimonial for them.

Once you’ve managed to find vendors that fulfil the above requirements, the chance of you buying low performing traffic is GREATLY reduced & minimised!”

Affiliate marketing business is so accessible today with so many product and brand services looking for people to recommend and help sell their offers. It is easier now compared to the days when people have to make use of the telephones and slower other mediums of information like mail and post – just to get the latest updates on the way their program is coming along.

So with technology at hand, and assuming that the affiliate is working from home, a day in his or her life could look something like this…

Upon waking up and after having breakfast, the computer is turned on to check out new developments in the network. As far as the marketer is concerned there might be new things to update and statistics to keep track on. The marketer is the owner of the product being promoted that affiliates are selling to their lists.

The site design has to be revised. The marketer knows that a well-designed site can increase sign ups from visitors. It can also help in the affiliate’s conversion rates.

That done, it is time to submit the affiliate program to directories that lists affiliate programs. These directories are means to attract people in joining your affiliate program. A sure way of promoting the affiliate program is registering it with the most popular directories.  

It is time to check sales you are getting from your affiliates fairly and accurately. There are phone orders and mails to track down. See if they are new clients checking the products out. Noting down the contact information that might be a viable source in the future.

There are lots of resources to sort out. Adverts, banners, button ads and sample recommendations to give out because the marketer knows that this is one way of ensuring more sales. It is important to stay visible and accessible too.

The affiliate marketer remembers that there are questions to answer from site or article visitors. This has to be done quickly. Nothing can turn off a customer than a delay in answering emails. Nobody wants to be ignored and customers are not always the most patient of all people. Quick answer that should appear professional yet friendly too. There’s an option to use a Virtual Assistant trained to check library of FAQs in future….but the marketer wants to stay involved so he can see how things are developing and if changes are needed in messaging or elements of the campaign.

In the process of driving, promoting and supporting their campaigns, the marketer is logged on to a chat room where he or she interacts with other affiliates and those supporting that same program. This is where they can discuss things on how to best promote the products.

There are things to be identified, corrected and refined and it is always a continuous and a real-time process. Sharing tips and advice is a good way of providing real-time support to keep everyone succeeding. There may be others out there wanting to join and may be enticed by the discussion that is going on. It’s good to keep an open view on how opportunities may lie ahead.

Imagine the newsletters and ezines were updated days ago, so it is time for the affiliate marketer to see if there are some new things happening in the market. This will be written about in the marketer’s publication to be distributed to the old and new customers.

These publications are also an important tool in staying up to date with the newly introduced products. The marketer has put up a sale and promotion that customers may want to know about. Besides, they have to keep up with the deadline of these sales written in the publications.

It is that time to show some appreciation to those who have helped the marketer in the promotions and sale increase. Nothing like mentioning the persons, their sites and the process they have done that made everything worked.

Of course, this will be published in the newsletters. Among the more important information that have been written already.

The marketer has time to include recommendations or testimonials to those who want credible sources for the products being promoted. There is also time to post some comments on how to be a successful affiliate marketer on a site where there are lots of aspiring wannabee affiliate marketers.

Two things ticked off at the same time. The marketer gets to promote the product as well as the program they are in. Who knows, someone may be inclined to join.

Time flies. Missed lunch but he is satisfied with the progress made and the tasks done. Bed time….

Ok, so this may not be all done in a day. But then, this gives you an idea of how an affiliate marketer, a dedicated one that is, spends the marketing day.

It shows you the different elements that need to be initiated, learnt, improved and mastered over time in order to achieve continuous success online with marketing and affiliate programs…

Most of us are happy to be the successful affiliates leveraging the marketer’s offer to our growing list. Many of the core same skills apply building the list and promoting the offers as the affiliate.

A recent Internet Marketing trend started a few years ago for the mutual benefit of Internet Marketing list builders and owners. This coincidences with the growing awareness of the value of building a list – with valuable content and offers. This recent trend and method is starting a “Give Away event”.

A Give Away event is much like a bigger version of advert swaps. Essentially, a group of mailing list owners partner together and pool in their individual gifts in a one limited-time event.

Each participating partner contributes a gift to the event. The gift can be a free product, membership pass or a paid product (if he is good enough to offer one into the event).

Every participating list owner prepares a Lead Capture Page where they gives the gift in exchange for the subscriber’s email address. In other words, in order for a visitor to download the digital gift, they must opt in and subscribe to your mailing list.

When the gifts are pooled together into one event (site), every partner will then endorse the Give Away event to their own mailing lists.

The result: a big volume of visitors to one event as a collective effort of the many participating list owner partners!

With so many visitors downloading gifts from one focused event, it is a true win-win situation. This is because the visitors get to download several free gifts for their own use and every partner gets to boost their own mailing list!

You can find out about a Give Away event in the making by communicating with other Internet Marketers regularly or participating in Internet Marketing discussion and Joint Venture boards.

Giveaways whether a single product, report of relevance (or many gifts) is a time-proven way to start engagement with online visitors by getting their email opt-in. This allows you to begin an engagement with them to share regular useful information, content and offers. Their eventual purchase is the proof of the success of this strategy of attracting people onto your list!     …..as long as you consistently serve them with things they are interested in and are looking for – in an easy to digest, light and compelling manner

You can build your list simply by writing articles, whether you have thought of it before. This is a free traffic and list building activity which create value for everyone, your audience and you. This is a proven way how to build a list for many affiliate and emarketers.

The key is to write topics of interest to your audience and make it useful content that helps them solve their challenge or lack of information on how to do something or proceed to take action.

Simply, you write and submit your articles on your topic of expertise or business, of interest to your audience in popular article directories where eZine publishers and readers are looking for the information you provide.

Also leveraging your viral marketing efforts on article writing can be rewarding, if done right. In a real sense, you are actually showcasing your worth; you are demonstrating your expertise about your business through the articles you write.

So, how can this method help you build your mailing list? The answer: the resource box you attach to your articles. In your resource box (also known as your biography box), you include a brief detail about yourself and your business site together with its URL.

It is a good idea that your resource box URL links to your site specifically your list’s landing page where you can get your visitor’s name and email address; this action will in turn help you build your mailing list at no cost.

When your articles are found to be worth sharing, eZine publishers will republish your articles together with your resource box for their readers and subscribers. The wonderful result: viral marketing without effort on your part!

You can start by writing and submitting your articles to trusted article submitter sites such as http://www.articlemarketer.com/ and begin your article marketing journey today. This is something I am doing everyday and my mentors who have lists with 100,000s.
