A solo ad is a form of email advertising where a marketer rents out email space from another individual or business to send a message to their subscriber list. This method allows businesses to reach a wider audience without the need to build their own email list from scratch. The goal is to drive traffic, generate leads, and make sales by targeting users who have already opted into the list they are renting.

How Does a Solo Ad Work?

  • The advertiser selects a solo ad provider with a relevant audience.
  • The ad is crafted and sent to the provider’s email list.
  • Recipients of the email are encouraged to click a link, visit a website, or make a purchase.

Benefits of Solo Ads
