My experience with the program so far

I was surfing through pages at my favorite traffic exchange when I happened across a splash page for Instant Ad Power. They were offering 1000 free text impressions and 1000 free banner impressions to join, so I decided to give it a shot.

I have to say I was surprised at the quality and functionality of the site. I expected an average banner or text ad exchange, but this was much more!

What I Like

I think what I like most about Instant Ad Power is the many forms of advertisement they offer. They also offer a mailer, and I received an above-average CTR on all three of the mailings I've done so far. They have a little more than 3000 members, so it's worth mailing out to them, and it looks like they are growing quite rapidly.

They offer the following type of ads:

1. Premium Ad - This is a 468 X 60 banner ad placement that also includes your profile picture and a line of text. This ad is shown in the center of the member's dashboard, so visibility is excellent.
2. Power Ad - The Power Ad includes a 125 X 125 banner with a bold headline, sub-header, and descriptive text. It's a combination of a full-text ad and a banner and it is displayed prominently on the right side of the dashboard.
3. Banner Ad - This is a standard 468 X 60 banner and it will be displayed throughout the website near the top and bottom of the screen.
4. Text Ad - These handsome text ads come with white text overlayed on a dark-colored background. They are displayed center-middle of the screen and also on the lower-right portion of the screen.
5. Full Page Ad - This is one of the more powerful ads on the site. This is a full website ad that triggers directly after a member views the login page ad. Think of it as a "second login ad. "
6. Login Page Ad - These can be purchased at a great price. The member picks a date on the calendar and on that date their site will be the first one shown to all members directly after they log in.

What I Dislike

There's not a whole lot to dislike, but there is one thing. The commission structure is set up on a sliding scale, and a member must make so many sales to trigger the next percentage level. For instance, a member starts at 20% commissions and must make $50 in sales in order to move up to 25%, etc.

It means you will be promoting for very low commissions for a while, but in the grand scheme of things, it's not that much of a big deal.

Final Verdict

I absolutely love this site and I have been getting quite a few quality leads from it in the short time I've been a member. It's free to join so you really have nothing to lose!

Hey everyone. Rob Willmann here. You may have read one of my other reviews here on LeadsLeap. Well today I want to bring InstantAdPower to the front and center as one of my new favorite mailers.

If you know me, you know I use mailers, traffic exchanges, and social media for my everyday marketing efforts, and these tools typically perform well for me.

When I heard about InstantAdPower, I decided to give it a shot.

My first mailing mpressed with the ease-of-use of their system. I like that there's a dashboard showing who the top people are that use the system, my rank, credits, and other stats. Simple.

In a nutshell the site is a smooth mailer that handily delivers your emails. It's a clean interface, and has lots of other ad options:

• Premium ads, - These are ads seen across the top of the member area, featuring your name, photo, and banner ad. Very effective.
• Power Ads - 125 x 125 square ads on the right side. Effective.
• Banner Ads, - These are standard fare 468x banners. You need to have banner credits to have your banner in rotation.
• Text Ads - Per their blurb "Text ads are placed in highly visible spots on our most visited members area pages". Their text ads are typically in solid color boxes with white text so they aren't 'invisible' on the page. The font size is ok as well. I would expect over time to get a normal rate of response from these.
• Login Ads - Exactly what it sounds like. These are shown upon login. The prices on these are very reasonable, considering it's the ad most likely to get clicked. :)
• Full page Ads. - Another win. As an upgrade member, these come as part of the package. I like that.

Each one has it's own credit system, and they do offer the ability to earn credits via activities like logging in, reading member emails, etc. These credits can be exchanged for mailer credits quite handily.

I upgraded in their system to the max yearly level, since it was at a decent price and fit my marketing budget increase I had in-hand.

Quite frankly I have been pleasantly surprised at the click through rate (CTR) I received on my first mailing. The response was quite good, considering this is a new mailer and it still ramping up membership.

What I Like

There's quite a bit to cover since they offer so many different advertising options. I like:

• all of the UI and interfaces are clean and easy to use.
• multiple forms of payment are accepted, with the big 3 being:
  • Stripe (Visa, Mastercard, etc.)
  • CoinPayments (crypto)
  • Uphold
• variety in the types of ads I can use.
• a VERY responsive member base. I continue to be impressed with the CTR I receive on the site. Quite simply it works well.

What I Dislike

Currently at their max level, I can email their entire email base (Available Members: 809) for 809 credits each time. I would like to see this number really explode, and expect that it will. That's the only downside that I can see - it needs more members.

I also found one spot in the UI where it wasn't clear where the credits were for me to assign to my ad, but I was able to figure it out.

Final Verdict

I have now moved this up to a 5 start program on my reviews. I know that sounds over the top, but summed up: it's a great mailer, with great members, and many ways to place ads that work.

I highly recommend instandadpower and use them daily.

UPDATE Aug 7, 2021:

InstantAdPower.com has increased in membership size... And each mailing now goes to over 1500 people.

This significantly increases the value of their service. My first ever mailing had a click through percentage of 12.62%, but now my latest one is 7.86% - still higher than nearly all other mailers I've used.

With that said, I've changed my ranking of this service from 4 to 5 stars. - Rob
