    Looked at your page. You might want to remove the sample page. (The bicycle messenger rides again)

    This is now the 14th so I was looking for more of a progress report since the last/first post was two weeks ago.

    As I recall there are two ways to do solo ads. Buy them and exchange ads on your list to another list.

    Blog updated, here is the post:

    Quick Update on my journey

    5 days have passed since the last post and decided to do a quick update on my journey. In the first webinar, Lewis described succinctly thel business around solo ads and at the same time unveiled some details that made me be sure that the cost per subscriber that I myself was paying could be greatly reduced. Doing the math very quickly, with a conversion of 35%, and pay an average of about 0.35 cents per click, every time you bought a solo ads, I

    Blog updated, here is part of the post:

    The Solo Ads Business – Update

    In the first posts here on the blog, I described solo ads business model and documented my first steps. Since the last post, I attended another of Lewis Turner webinar where he described in more detail some aspects of the business. I also missed another webinar where Lewis described technical aspects of funnel creation but it seems that Lewis will repeat this since live webinar went wrong due to technical problems.
    Again, Lewis proposed some homework. We should find click banking partners to deal and we should also create an email adress and submit that email to other people´s funnels. The ideia is to have an email box with a lot of swipe texts to use in the future. Lewis also suggested that we should start with the creation of squeeze pages. I have buyed Optimizepress, i have instaled in my domain and at this moment i am creating some variations of squeeze pages while i wait for next webinar. Other procedures that i will make the next few days will be sign up with ppl programs wich i will talk about latter.

    New blog update:
    Funnel Done!
    In the last update I wrote here, I was working on squeeze page. Optimizepress is a wordpress theme which we can easily create squeeze pages quite attractive in a few minutes. It is also very easy to add the code of aweber and create a thank you / download page. Optimizepress also offers the possibility of creating an exit page, which increases conversions between 5 and 10%. Altogether, in just 1 hour, i created 2 squeeze pages added the code and setup the entire funnel without any other software, theme or plugin and believe me, my technical knowledge is ridiculous! This was a week ago, and after that i was ready to buy solos and see how conversions go.

    The First Solo Ads
    There are several places where we can find solo ads providers but my favorite place so far has been the SOLO SWAP FB Group created by Lewis Turner. When we buy solo ads, we should take a look in testimonials and reviews from previous customers to be sure we are buying the solo with a reliable guy and this FB Group has lots of testimonials and reviews so we can buy with confidence. In last week, i bought solos to Jack Coxill, Zeid Makkawi, Wayne Smith, Richard Jones and all this guys provide me 50 clicks solos with mass overdelivery. On average my funnel is converting arround 40% which is quite acceptable. With some minor tweaks hopefully increase the conversion rate to around 50% which would be very good.

    Banking Clicks
    One of the subjects discussed by Lewis Turner in the coaching program was the click banking and the importance of finding partners to bank with. Once i have begun to buy solo ads yet realized the importance of doing click banking. Click banking is a great way to dramatically decrease the cost per subscriber and optimize all the process. The whole ideia of the funnel is about don´t leave clicks in the table.
    Next Steps
    The next webinar, will be about tracking softwares, wich will be my also my next purchase. I will talk about it here in my next post.

    You need to do something with the footer. It detracts from your blog.

    I LOVE CASE STUDY BLOGS!!!!!! PM me if you have one, too!! I'll follow it, promise. :)

    Where do you purchase solo ads, OP? And in which niche?

    I signed up at safe-swaps.com (no affiliation) but since I'm new I wasn't comfortable upgrading to paid service. I grabbed an IM-niche product to promote that had their own swipes, and I purchased 50 clicks for $20, but the guy I purchased from never delivered. :/ When I did more research, people still swore by Safe-Swaps, but they all said you pretty much had to have a paid account to get any sort of quality.

    Personally? I'm not really into the IM niche. It's nothing I want to stay in for the long run. But I have no idea where to find quality solo ads in other niches.
