your approximate conversion rate with the given affiliate product. Once you have
a rough handle on your profit margin, attempt to market your solo ads in larger
publications, including e-zines with subscriber bases of over 100,000. Keep in
mind that this will be expensive, but it will also pay off if you did your homework in
the previous steps.
3. Last, consider targeting high-end online publications with your ads.
These will include ones that don't normally include their sites in E-zine
directories, such as authority sites that publish a monthly E-zine in PDF format.
These often have high response rates and will similarly draw the best response if
you use them correctly.
For regular E-zines with reasonable fees, you will want to check out the following site,

Solo Ads – Outmoded or Back in Style?
Now we're going to go over solo ads:
For years, Internet marketers have asserted that solo ads are simply outmoded – they're
a dinosaur that no longer has the potential to reap any profits; however, another group of
Internet marketers knows that the exact opposite is the truth: solo ads can reap
massive profits, but in order to do so, they must be engineered perfectly, as must
the selection of the solo ad distributor.
A solo ad can be a number of things. Usually, it is a large ad between 200 and 300
words that is placed at the very center of a page. The rate on solo ads is higher than on
all other potential options, but it also captures readers' attention the most by far. If you
have the money to spend on a solo ad, it can be an excellent investment.
However, as with all investments (and advertisements for that matter), you must conduct
your due diligence. This involves a considerable amount of research.
