No Leads = No SALES
What Is Udimi Solo Ads?
Udimi is a network where advertisers and publishers exchange trades specifically for solo ads. Currently there is no other major network similar to Udimi where any individuals are free to join. So what is Udimi solo ads? Today I'd like to show you what it is and review the services I often receive there.
What Is A Solo Ad?
"Solo" as in single, meaning one mailshot that goes out to a list of people. A publisher ("Solo Seller") has a list of email addresses which is confidential to themselves. You as an advertiser write a sales letter in email format ("email swipe"), with a link to your webpage, or whatever page you want the recipients to visit. And a solo seller sends your email swipe out on your behalf for a fee.
Udimi - How Much Does It Cost You?
You make a payment in advance, but will be charged per click. Means you'll only be charged each time a recipient click to open your webpage. Plus $3 flat administration fee to Udimi each time you place a solo ad order.
With sellers advertised in Udimi, typical fee is around $0.35 - $0.60 per click. The number of clicks starts from 50 up to 1,000. So if a seller's fee is $0.50 per click and you want your swipe email clicked by 100 people, it will be $50. Plus $3 admin fee = $53 in total to pay in advance. Does it make sense? I'll show one Udimi seller as an example later on this page.
How To Find A Good Seller In Udimi
The list of solo ad sellers can be filtered by earliest available date (Today, Tomorrow....), how many clicks you want, charge per click, number of ratings, niche etc. The image above are filtered by ratings, showing 3 of the best solo ad sellers as of today. Niche can be filtered by Marketing, Finance, Health, Mobile or Social.
As you can see, the top seller Malik here, charges a lot more than other two, but while 2,005 buyers have rated good (thumbs-up), only one has rated thumbs down. It means satisfaction's almost guaranteed with this seller.
Buyers have an option to rate the seller. A lot of sellers "over-deliver" the clicks as a complement and, in this happy feedback example above, 185 clicks were delivered where only 150 clicks had been requested. 50% opt-in meaning about 90 people of which became this buyer's subscribers, which is great.
Solo Ad Statistics
After your solo ad has been delivered, you'll be able to see the statistics, i.e. information of each individual who clicked your ad. It includes​ the time of the click, country, operating system, browser, desktop or mobile and the IP address.
When you've chosen a seller, the next few steps are;
Choose a desired date to get your email ad sent out. The available date for the seller is shown in bold.
How many clicks you want to buy - in this example, the seller charges you $0.42 per click. So if you want to buy 50 clicks, it will be 50 x $0.42 = $21. Plus $3 admin fee, to pay.
Filters - Only T1 - "T1 countries" are wealthiest countries of the world including USA, Canada, UK, Australia, Singapore. With this example, 88% of the recipients are from T1 countries and, if you want 100% clicked by visitors from T1 countries, check the box here. However you'll be charged 10 cents extra per click.
Filters - No Proxy - visitors who use transparent proxy cannot be identified by their IP address. They can be excluded by paying 15 cents extra per click. 2% of the visitors that this particular seller in the example use transparent proxy.
Filters - No Mobile - visitors on mobile devices can be filtered by paying 15 cents extra per click. Useful if your site is not mobile-friendly. 5% of the visitors in this seller are on mobile devices.
Type - Email solo ad means the seller will send your swipe to own list of subscribers, whilst Web solo ad means they will put your link on own website, social media page such as Facebook that has relevant traffic to your ad.
Swipe - this is where you type in your swipe ad. Title in the subject box, then your sales letter in the main box. As you can see it is in basic HTML format (font size, style, colour etc with hyperlink to add).
