Thanks for the great article! I have been relying solely on organic traffic in 2011 and 2012 and now 2013 will be the year of paid media for me. Appreciate the insights from all involved in the post.

Cheers!

Depending on your niche, PPC marketing may be worth a shot. Some keywords are ridiculously expensive, but some keywords are low competition and low cost. Bing, especially, has a lot of keywords that are only $0.05 or $0.10 because there’s much less competition.

And the best part? Both Google and Microsoft offer free credits when you first start out, and $50 or $100 in free advertising is nothing to turn your nose up at. You can get a few clicks for free (or a few hundred, assuming you picked an affordable keyword) to see how the advertising and converting works out.

I signed up for the solo ad dealio – very cool! But they appear to be all IM-related. Do you know any sources for solo ads outside the IM niche?

I’m very interested in solo ads – thanks for sharing so much about it Nicole 🙂

Here are a couple of quick additions to what I wrote above. From what I’ve seen, solo ads generally are the best first investment in paid advertising. They can get the traffic moving effectively. This is even more true in other markets besides “internet marketing” but you will have to work harder in those other markets to find the lists by often emailing and asking list owners if they sell ads.

I also didn’t give any resources for remarketing. One of the good ones for a smaller user is http://www.adroll.com, but remember you don’t go here until you’re already consistently generating traffic. This is a way to make more money from traffic you already have.

Fantastic post Nicole! This was super informative on the exact topic I’m getting ready to tackle. I love how freely your friends share with us. I now have lots more to chew on concerning my ads. Great stuff!
