Once you’ve got your ad converting into affiliate commissions it’s time to test the paid solo ads. The solo ads appear by themselves as separate emails from the main ezine issue, in most cases they’ll have a significantly higher success rate as a result.

Here’s the best strategy…

1. Subscribe to each of the ezines above using a free email account you have that’s seperate from your main one. This way you can see the quality of the publication and it will qualify you for your free classified ad.

2. Place your free ad with one of the ezines above and be sure to track the affiliate link you use so you can measure your success. Testing and tracking of your ads is critical to your success.

3. Run the same classified ad in each of the ezines above until you find one that converts the most clicks into affiliate commissions.

4. Once you have an ezine that responds well to your classified ad run a paid solo ad, again track your response rate.

5. Keep on testing different variations of your solo ad within that ezine until you have a clear winner. Then continue running your winning ad until your response rate drops off. When this happens move on to the next ezine and test there with your winning solo ad until your numbers drop.

If you follow this system you could rotate your ads through the 6 ezines listed above and “potentially” make some huge commissions as a result of your consistent testing and tracking.
