Hi,
Every country is a good country. But to some, they might think most populous country would be a better choice because of the big population, giving them the big and huge chance for success.

Actual fact, Ultra Simple Plan teaches us to find 5 active affiliates and duplication being carried out or exercised. Multiplication started from these 5 1st liners. To me, where to advertise is important but not really important, quality and active affiliates are!
They could come from

SFI is a Universal Business that grows anywhere you plant it. I don't believe that there is a particular country better than the other because an adage says when you teach a man how to fish and not just to give him to eat, he continues that way.

We have friends in several cities and countries, you can call them up on phone, E-mail, text messages, etc., and talk to them about SFI, it all depends on your presentation. Once you are able to convince the person to register and you also teach

This is a great question...I actually did not think to advertise in other countries but my own to be honest, so KUDOS for thinking out of the box!

I would definitely check out our Growth Track Record, and based on that information I would try and reach out to some of the countries that are NOT as strong as the others. They may not have been introduced to our program yet, or enough.

How I would do this would be by Craigslist. Craigslist offers a way to advertise in various regions

There is no rule that sais which country is best to advertise in, BUT my short answer would be to go with the countries that have the smallest amount of members. So take the SFI's list of active countries and go backwards. :) There is a good chance that, if you do this, your PSA's from less active countries would have more "room" to work in their local environment, less competetion, so to speak. That being said, there are some factors to pay attantion to. To get the optimum reults, go for

At this stage I would say your own country would be the best. The reason is very simple - language.

I have affiliates in my team from different countries and I am pretty sure they are not reacting or doing what they need to do because they do not fully understand English. I am trying to communicate by translating my message in their language but I think a lot is lost in translation. It is also extremely time consuming if you have 20 people from 20 different countries and you have to

The best place that will give you guaranteed good results for your advertisement is your own country: you will be able to advertise more effectively by using the language that you are familiar with and by knowing what 'tickles' the people residing in your country. You must know the 'pulse' of your target audience in order to capture their attention.

Having done that, you may now expand your ads to countries that ranked the highest activity in SFI: these people have the interest, technology,

I think a lot of answers are missing the point - How much does it cost to advertise in each country?

Free advertising is obvious - you go where you get the best result. For example take 2 English speaking countries - Australia and New Zealand. As an Australian I would go for New Zealand every time. Kiwis are very competitive and their economy is not as good as Australia's. Australians are more laid back and comfortable although very competitive too.
So I would go with NZ before Australia

Great question.

In my opinion I don't think you should limit yourself when it comes to advertising. Obviously, if it isn't working don't do it, but I would try every country to start.

At times it seems some countries have better turn around then others, but that doesn't mean you should ignore the potential of other countries. Maybe hit them a little harder and continue advertising everywhere else.

As with all advertising though, make sure you are using keycodes

Hi,
it's not hard to answer your question. In my opinion it can not be determined that the best country for advertising. I believe that it can be in any country possible to advertise.
The question is whether the same ad fits in every country, of course not. What is good in one country does not mean it will be in another country. Countries are different not only in language but also the culture, social status, etc. It is therefore very important to know the customs and habits of people
