Just a word of warning. Though solo ads may seem like a good source of optin traffic, it is not. So be sure to ask the list owner about the list and its conversion rate before agreeing.

Best of luck,

Like everything in this world there are good and bad. Solo lists are no different.
Fisrt considerr that solo lists are likely to be less responsive than some other list
that are used predomanently for affiliate or product promotion.
Else the owners would promote products -right?

That being said if you ensure you use lists from respectable sources and that
have user reccomendations you should be good.

I have personally used solos to great effect. I usually try to sell my own product
to the list to get a few buyer subscribers. In most cases I make enough to the
buy another solo to the same list and offer a freebie that I convert to subscribers
at around 50%.

Only in one case did this not work and the list owner happily remailed me another
freebie offer to pich up the gap.

One important thing is ensure you get a minimum click guarantee. Don't worry
about list size. That way even if most of their list is old and unresponsive you
know the ones that are comming to you are fresh and responsive.

And yes make sure the list is IM, if that's what yours is!
