This is a question that both new and experienced online marketers are always trying to answer.
Paying for traffic or paid advertising needs to be part of everyone’s marketing tool box. The majority of companies that sell advertising, whether hits or visitors, normally do have a vetting process for the prospects they market to. They are not going to risk their business or livelihood with some “run-of-the-mill” program. They will want to provide a good product so there are return and/or new customers. Of course, there are some advertising programs that are just looking for a quick dollar and then they are gone.
Unfortunately, the answer to your question could be yes and no. In other words, some purchased traffic may work for sales and sign-ups but some will not. If you can designate you want only traffic from those people looking for a business opportunity, then you have a better chance with getting prospects. Most companies will guarantee a specific number of hits or visitors to your website but they all have a disclaimer that says they do not guarantee sales or sign-ups. And what works right now, may not work in the near future due to the dynamics of the online market.
What works for me is researching the different paid advertising offers I can find online and taking the top three for a test run. By that, I mean buying their lowest advertising package to see if they are a viable option. The most important thing is to make sure you can track the number of sales or sign-ups from each program. If one works better than the other, then I will purchase a larger advertising package from them. If none of them provide any sales or sign-ups, then I will look at other advertising programs to hopefully find one that will meet my advertising goals. I use a combination of sending traffic to my SFI affiliate links and also to my personal website where I do market the SFI program.
I realize this is somewhat of a gamble with your money. Some people may not be able to do this and that is OK. Continue marketing through the free methods that you have worked with or expand to other free paid advertising. When you reach an income level that you are comfortable to begin some paid advertising, then give it a try.
