College students are a great market for SFI.
Fact is most college students do not have full ride scholarships or wealthy parents paying the student's way through. In fact 8 in 10 college students are there on student loans and most have to work full or part time jobs to pay for housing and meals, text books etc..
College Students have items to sell like last year's used text books and are often the aspiring artist who need room to generate new creations so helping them sell their current art works and crafts can be a blessing. For these approaches the Yard Sale Online banners or Sell Your Stuff flyers make a great handout at off campus gatherings etc..
Someone mentioned college newspapers and I would add that air time on student run radio stations is usually quite affordable as well.
Promoting the business opportunity at SFI is beneficial because those starving students would love more money and more time to enjoy campus life. The more dollars they can make in a few minutes a day the more time to study, to take in concerts, to gather with friends, and otherwise enrich their lives with the very things that build master networkers.
The college social setting is even better than social media for spreading influence and launching ideas that break from the bounds of what is into the realm of what's possible. Facebook is one of hundreds of billion dollar companies founded while in college.
Some of the Internet's top marketers made their first millions while in college.
I happen to have taken training from several of them including one who is a SFI member who joined the same day I did two years ago. He's making over 10 million a year now and still saw the opportunity to drive some of his valuable followers into SFI.
These are business majors, and marketing students, web designers looking to monetize student blogs and fledgling e-magazines, and even campus activist looking to fund their causes or raise money for charity.
Reaching them is best done in the places where they are most engaged. That capus news source, the student aid building's jobs boards, sponsoring outdoor events, frat house information boards and mail boxes. As well as local papers and classifieds ads for offline marketing. Online Facebook's paid ads can laser target to students as can Google Adwords and Bing Ads. Pay per click is not as expensive as everyone makes it out to be, you just have to do your research instead of trying to advertise where everyone else is. I have personally made money using PPC ads like these more often than I have lost money using them.
The big thing is do what you do to attract these students diligently. Don't try to be a 1 hit wonder, advertise often because you don't know when a new super star may finally tune in to where your ads are at. Expect any marketing to take time to take hold and really gain momentum, and be available to personally follow up with those who are interested in starting their home business.
