Phoenix IV Review: Solo Ads to Jumpstart Your Email List?

I stumbled on this thing called Phoenix 4 the other day. It’s all about building an email list - you know, the lifeblood of any online business - using a type of paid advertising called solo ads.

The guys behind it: Mark Barrett and James Fawcett, both well-known marketers from WarriorPlus.

Here’s the gist: solo ads let you tap into someone else’s email list. You pay them a fee, and they send out a promo for your offer. It can be a good way to get targeted traffic, fast.

The Gist

So, what’s this Phoenix 4 deal teaching?

A few things stood out to me:

• Traffic Rotators: These neat tools let you send your traffic to multiple offers and see which one works best. Think of it as smart testing for your campaigns. Unfortunately, this approach leads to rather generic and non-personal email promotions.
• License Rights: This one got my gears turning. Turns out, you can buy license rights to some affiliate products, meaning you sell them as if they were your own and keep a bigger chunk of the profits. But is the funnel still ‘hot’? Or did the vendors move on to the next thing…
• Step-by-Step is Key: Phoenix 4 seems to take a hand-holding approach, which is great for newbies. They cover everything from setting up funnels to finding good offers to wrangling traffic.
• Paid and Free: A mix of paid (solo ads) and free traffic strategies. But the focus is on solo ads.

My 2 Cents

Overall impression? It’s got potential. I like the structured approach and the mix of free and paid techniques.

But here’s the thing: solo ads and solo ad vendors are an unregulated minefield. Really, it’s worse than the Wild West.
