I'd love to hear others experience on using paid traffic . and what has been most successful for them. Any methods would be much appreciated. Recently, I've had the best luck facebook ads
Me too with facebook ads, facebook ads can be highly targeted and are cheap as well, the amount of profit you can make is crazy, no wonder so many business use Facebook ads.
I've tried Solo Ads which good for email marketing when you have list of leads to broadcast. Oh yes about FB Ads, good in the sense you can manage your Budget and at the same time, reach your targeted audience.
I used to have an experience with a lot of traffic sources, but I stopped with Udimi. It works well for my business in IM niche.
Solo ads do work well if you know how to work them. Udimi is a decent source as is traffic for me. You have to be careful about who you choose to purchase from as there are a lot of scammers in this market. They'll promise click throughs, and you will get those clicks. Problem with the scammers is those clicks are often bot traffic and not targeted to your offer. You won't get a decent conversion rate that way.
I acquire 3rd party email data. Which is fresh / targeted data of users that are interested in a specific vertical(niche) and have provided permission to receive messages from third parties. You get the opt-in record for each user and it's 100% can-spam compliant. Been doing it for over 16 years. However, there is more to it than simply acquiring the data and sending. So it's not for everyone.
I'm using both Facebook ads & Google adwords for my paid traffic campaigns. Sometimes I use email marketing to get traffic too.
