Do you want to get more traffic to your affiliate marketing offers or want to build your targeted email list that to generate more sales?

Generating leads is a time taking process which involves converting a stranger to a visitor, a visitor to lead through an opt in-form/landing page, a lead to customer and a customer to a promoter.

It has been observed in the studies that only 15% of marketers can effectively generate leads for their business and out of which 70% leads fail due to lead nurturing issues.

The most difficult phase of the lead generation journey is from stranger to a lead (potential buyer).

What if you directly start your journey from a potential lead? Your time, money and effort gets reduced by more than 50%, isn’t it? This is why a Solo ad concept has been introduced into the picture.

What is a Solo ad?

A solo ad is nothing but an email advertisement or a sponsored email where the seller who has a list of email subscribers blast an email campaign for the buyer who wants to promote his offer or simply get visitors in exchange for a fee.

Suppose you want to promote your course by getting targeted visitors on your landing page. Then you will buy a solo ad from a seller of your choice.

The seller will shoot an email on your behalf to his email subscribers having your course/landing page link, or any call to action of your choice.

If you are looking to grow your email list and you don’t have time and money to build your email list fast enough, a solo ad can help you do it quickly.

Udimi is one such Solo ad platform which is being used by two million people to get high-quality visitors.

What Is Udimi?

Udimi is one such solo ad marketplace which brings influencers or list email owners and buyers/online marketers on a single platform.

Getting registered on Udimi took me less than a minute. You just need to enter your email and set a password for your account and you are doneYou can start exploring the best solo ad providers by clicking on the “Find Sellers” option.

I liked the filter options given by Udimi for finding the best-sellers according to your niche.

You can filter your search results based on:

  • Price
  • Percentage of “Got sales” rating
  • Niche
  • Customer Ratings
  • Traffic Source Location
  • ID & Email List Verification and a few other

Isn’t that great? You should take advantage of Udimi filters to pick the best sellers from the platform.

Udimi is not just a free platform but a freemium marketplace, i.e. it has both free and premium versions. In the free plan, there is no membership fee, and you only have to pay the seller’s fee + $3 (Udimi’s fee) when you are placing an order.

For the Prime plan, the membership starts from $29.95 per month. Apart from the monthly, there are three other plans including the 3 months plan (for $85.36), 6 months plan (for $161.73) and 12 months plan (for $287.52).Here is a list of extra features that you get on upgrading your account to Prime (Premium version):

  • Advanced Filter Options: You get advanced filter options on top of base filters with the premium version, which can remove non-targeted visits and save more money.
  • Profile Badge: With the premium version, you get a crown icon next to your name, which gives you more credibility.
  • Optin Tracking Feature: With this feature, you can add unlimited sites you need and track all traffic.
  • More Affiliate Earnings: Udimi has its affiliate program where you can earn money. For free accounts, Udimi pays 15% for each order referred through you, but this amount goes up to 25% if you are a Premium user.
  • Access to Profile View Stats: With the premium version, you can view the visitors who visited your profile. It can help you convert more visitors into buyers and increase your sales.

If you have your email list and want to register on Udimi as a seller, it is a great platform to earn easy money. For sellers, it is essential to get the verified status as it will give you more customers.

For verifying identity, Udimi charges a non-refundable $5.33 fee and would require you to submit one of the documents: ID card, passport, driving license.

Are Udimi Solo Ads Worth the Risk?

Though solo ads are worth the investment involved and cheaper than other paid traffic sources such as Google Ads, there is a downside of solo ads too.

I have gone through some experiences where people have claimed that a few sellers have built their email list through black hat methods.

Some even send fake bot clicks which might harm your website statistics and also hurt your email deliverability rates.Thankfully, Udimi have various policies and precautionary methods to protect buyers from fake sellers.

I like this feature of Udimi that the rating/review given by a buyer, be it positive or negative, is non-deletable under any circumstances by the seller.

It protects the genuineness of the buyer experience and is helpful for other buyers on the platform. Though there are statistics related to upvotes, sales rating, still you have to choose sellers carefully.

The only way to find a genuine seller who can give you more sales/subscribers is by trying one or two who fits your budget, niche and interest.
