I guess one of the most important things is to constantly evaluate and track what you are doing.

Are you assigning codes to your advertising efforts so you can track what is actually happening? You might be doing better than you think! This doesn't need to be anything fancy - just a spreadsheet on your computer or even a notebook.

For example, if you are using an Autoresponder service such as MailChimp, even the free version gives you open rates, click through rates etc. I discovered with one of my email campaigns, that my open rate was actually 5 times the industry average with one particular subject line. When I tried a different subject line, my open rate dropped to half the previous email. But both of them were actually doing very well, compared to the industry standard.

If you do some tracking for a few of your advertising campaigns, you will very quickly work out which ones are doing well, not so well, badly or really badly! So ditch the ones that aren't working or just re-hash them. Sometimes it's as simple as writing a more engaging subject line.

In addition, just a small word of warning - don't spend a lot of money on ANY advertising campaign without doing a small test run first. Split test all your campaigns and if you find one that DOES get results, then work it to the max!!!

There are so many different types of advertising available and if you aren't very good at writing, then try places like Elance and Freelancer and Fivver. For just a few dollars, you can get some pretty nifty writing done by an expert.

Lastly - let our old friend Einstein be our guide - 'Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results'!

Advertising has lots and lots of ways....
Don't stay at one position in a market..
Do move about, and explore other ways around..

I presume, you were mentioning on just one particular advertising ? Well, that's the way the market goes..
What doesn't work today doesn't mean it won't work tomorrow.. Conduct your own research, and work with the statistics... What kind of nitches are around, What most buyers buy, What's new on the market and many more..
Do read more on our trainings and marketings..
Have you tried other marketing methods , offline or phonecalling ?

Dont stop there, a little tweaking here and there on your advertising might helps...
Meanwhile, do learn something new daily..

Advertising is like an investment. It takes time to yield.
Advertising is like an agricultural plantation, it takes time to bring out fruit.
For instance, lll
If you plant a typical vegetable, it may take about 5 to 7 days to start sprouting; and another one week to start harvesting.
If you plant maize or corn, it may take about 90 days to start harvesting.
But if you plant a pawpaw tree, banana or plantain, it may take about 8months to 9months to start harvesting its fruits.
What about an orange or apple tree? It may take about 3 - 5 years or more to start harvesting its fruits.
All you need is patience to allow the crops or trees to grow to maturity before you can harvest their fruits, depending on the gestation periods of each plantation.

So it is with advertising - whether free or paid. It takes time to yield.
So, just exercise little more but relative patience;
And you will start harvesting the "fruits" of your investment.

Hope this helps!

First, you have to try to find out if the problem is your ad itself, or the place where your ad is posted.

I would try using the same ad, but using different sites in which the ad is posted. Watch the hits using the hit tracking tool here at SFI.

If you are not getting hit's at any of the sites, it's time to rethink your ad. You might have someone that is not an affiliate (use a family member) take a look at the ad and ask them if it would draw their interest if they saw it in a magazine.

Get feedback as to what could make the ad enticing enough to make them want to look at where the ad is asking them to go.

If your advertising is not getting the expected results, in most cases you are not doing enough of it.Maybe the wrong kind too.

Put up a blog with SFI and Tripleclicks banners along the sides.Advertise this as many places as you can find.When I am reading the Ask SC questions and answers and the Community Forums,I look for new places to advertise.I keep a notepad called Advertising Places.

Personally I advertise in Social and Business Communities, Safe-lists and Traffic Exchanges, and do article writing,place ads on Craig"s List, Linked In and places like them.

To be effective you must reach a minimum of 20,000 people a day.Why so many? Every month there are new businesses opening up,then there are scams,and new biz that just does not have enough financial backing.

If your advertising is not providing satisfactory results depends on the site on which you choose to advertise your products.

The best form of advertising is the mouth to mouth/ face to face conversation. A lot of persons who see your products on a site you choose to advertise with may not truly be interested in them because they may feel too fed up with this product issues from everybody and some may not even click on them or turn their face. Though not every site gives you poor results. There are still very quality sites out there that gives a very good satisfaction for advertising your products.

The solution to your problem is that you have to try the face to face conversation. Buy brochures, postcards, Ecards, Signposts, banners etc that relates to your products and distribute it around your town or city where there are businesses. This is simply just the best.

When people see your cards, which is your product being advertise in that manner, they will truly be interested and patronize you. Don't forget the marketing features provided by SFI, you can build on that and work out your success by simply following the marketing tools to also advertise your products.

Thank you.
Hope this helps!

Your question is so broad that it raises more questions.
How are your results not satisfactory? This is the 1st question you need to address.

If you are advertising for recruits, are you getting a small number of sign ups? do they just look but do not sign up? do they sign up but then are inactive or opt out straight away? are their attitudes indicate that they are just looking for quick and easy money? There are many more questions that can be raised here particularly regarding the quality of the signups, contact emails etc..

You really need to identify how and why the results are unsatisfactory

Is the fishing hole too crowded? Are there too may of you promoting similar businesses at the same locality or using the same website?

Have another look at the wording of your adverts - is it an attention grabber, does it tell or at least hint at what you are offering, how does it help the reader, does it offer a solution and is there a call to action, what the reader should do now.

Be prepared to 'test the waters' with your ads with regards to the wordings and where you place them. You have to work out what works for you. If an ad works and a site works stay there and make the most of it - but at the same time look elsewhere and keep on developing.

Check and make sure that your contact email, landing page or gateway references are correct. You want your prospects to go straight to where they can sign up.

Hi Jonjevic. My answer to your question is "Forget result, keep on advertising". Result will definitely come. Use different methods of advertisement with different codes so that you can track the result. If affordable, paid advertisement is recommended. It is better. If you are advertising for recruiting PSAs and if affordable, put Standing Order of S-Builder Co-op and you will get PSAs regularly. The key for your satisfactory result is "Don't give up". I hope, I have provided you satisfactory reply.

This is very often the question. I think a lot of members have a problem like this. Solutions are endless, just have to find what suits you best. You must choose a good place where you advertise, because many members / colleagues might just use this same place for advertising. Explore the Internet, because as I have already heard from one person, "it's a jungle," a lot of the places where perhaps no one has ever asked a similar ad, find them, that is our job !!! I always went to a paid ad, the reason is lack of time and I had the results but many others have had results and with free advertising, we put a lot of time and try to be original, it is very important in marketing, both in real work when in marketing and in internet marketing, except that in my opinion, Internet marketing is much easier and more interesting job than the marketing :) markets need something new, a new story, new images, new energy, find the ideas in his head, in heart, upload the ad and use all possible places to see it, to awaken curiosity in people, to awaken in them the desire to join you in your business ... Everything around us is energy and marketing too, if I imagine you'll see I'm right. Around us on all sides are advertisements, promotions, and many more functions thanks to marketing. On the other hand, energy is the one who initiates everything, can succeed only if your energy is positive, in which case it would most likely you all the good things that are of great importance for our business, from the very idea in your head that will wake up like a wonderful idea and to our action to the idea implemented. Best of luck in your future work!!!
