Mailing lists, solo ads, extraction software, ppv, ppc... which direction?

The latest fad among WSOs and shiny objects appears to be "traffic and how to get it overnight" and the consensus is that
solo ads are the way to go, which I cannot argue with. The rest of it? Too damn hard to figure out and to get a decent ROI.
Has anyone used a scrapebox or extraction software to collect leads and then funnel it down by making decent offers and
building a list with opt ins? Seems by using proxies, etc and being careful you would not incur problems and build a list pretty
quickly.
What am I missing here?
thanks for the input.

To start with, FORGET anything written in a WSO.
I too have seen what you are talking about, most have been rehashed too many times to provide any useful information.
Obviously, some will be on the money but unless you know the author, everything is probably already out of date.

Remember the people selling WSO's, make their money from selling WSO's.
Only a few practice what they preach and make an Income from SEO or websites.

I am interested to hear what other's have to say about Solo Ads and if people would like to share any recommendations that would be great.

Think about something OP. If they were making so much money or getting so much traffic from what they typed into a WSO then
would they even sell it? Of course not.

not disputing that WSOs are ripping people off, just trying to get some direction here. Is anyone using extraction software or bulk mailings with a funnel to build their list?
Could really use some feedback. Help!
