Generating FREE Leads with Solo Ads

Generating FREE Leads with Solo Ads
Leads are an integral part of your business' success. The
question of how to get them is one that presents itself to
marketers every day. The answer is simpler than you may
think. While there are ways to pay for these leads, there
are methods to get leads completely free of charge.

One of the most powerful methods is the use of solo ads in
Ezines. An Ezine is an online publication that has a
specific focus. The word "Ezine" is a combined form of the
words "electronic" and "magazine". These publications are
sent to a list of subscribers at a regular interval. This
could be every week, two weeks or monthly.

A solo ad is exactly what it says. It is an ad that goes by
email all by itself with nothing attached to it. If you've
ever noticed, in an email ad there are sometimes ads at the
top and bottom of the main ad. A solo ad will NOT have
those, so there is nothing to distract the attention from
your advertisement. Your ad is the only one the receiver
sees. This increases your chance likelihood of a click and
a conversion.

Solo ads can be of varying sizes. The ezine editor will
tell you precisely how the ad should be formatted. Usually
the number of lines and characters per line are the main
concerns. These ads are extremely affordable starting at
about $2 per mailing, but our focus here is on free
methods. So how does this apply to solo ads?

Most Ezines will offer subscribers a "Paid to read" option.
For reading emails sent out you receive a little cash or
points. This can be saved up and used towards a free ad
sent to the entire subscribership. Hence, you get a FREE
solo ad that will be seen by a great number of people that
already have an interest in what you offer.

By putting your opt-in form inside the email, you could
essentially get a couple hundred or more FREE leads. These
leads are not only free, but laser targeted due to the fact
that your ad is probably focused on the theme of the Ezine.
Since we are using a funded proposal, you also stand to
make a little money off of this free ad.

All you need to do is join a few Ezines and take the "paid
to read" option. Then just read some ads. Save up your
points or cash and use it towards the purchase of your ad.
Essentially, this is a free ad since you have earned the
right to send it rather than pay for it outright. Add the
fact that the leads attained are targeted and you are in a
win-win situation. There is no way you can lose here.

The ads you read may also yield something you haven't
thought of before that could enhance what you already do
online. The typical marketer is always on the lookout for
something new that shows promise. So you get to scout the
Internet while earning free ads to thousands of subscribers
AND getting free leads to boot.

What could be better for any business? This is a
win-win-grow scenario for the serious marketer.
