An SFI Affiliate should only spend what he or she can afford on advertisement. How much one spends on advertisement does not guarantee best results if people do not want your offer. You must first determine the audience you want to reach then study the demographics before spending to place your ad.

Placing your ad in free advertising pays off sometimes. Your own blogs or website, shopping plazas, hair salons, and as many social media site as you may want to join, these places will do

Depending on her/his budget an SFI affiliate should plan their marketing budget according. The good thing about an on-line business is that you do not need to spend a lot of money like a brick and mortar business.

Importantly you should fist try a system on a small scale and measure your results against the money you spent. If you have a positive outcome ( you made more money than you spent on advertising ) then you can reinvest the money you made in advertising again or you can add on

It really depends on your budget plan.. I started $5 advertising my SFI LINKS from my gateways using CLICKSENSE and it gives me result but not to big. $10 in my PTC BOX account with a nice outcome, this is just an example...If I have a hundreds that I want to put on, for sure a great result will be given..I have money but I have a budget plan. Sometimes I face challenges of waiting for a result, but I got what I need. If you focus in an online advertisement, my advice is try to have a domain that

Hello, at the moment I spend monthly $15 for paid advertising and my ROI is exactly the same. That means I am on 0 profit. I reinvest all the money I earn in advertising. But I agree that it's not good to invest for example $50 like I did in the beginning because of my bad financial knowledge and win nothing or even go red.
I also say you can choose free or paid advertising, because the two things are investments. So if you want to invest time - 6-8 hours per day, use free advertising. If you

you should only spend what you can afford like if your business is only making 100 a month then you shouldn't spend more than that, advertising is a risk investment period on yourself. There is alot of free sites out there with upgrade levels on them that as your making money on them you upgrade to the next level.

An SfI Affiliate should spend whatever is in your budget. Just decide and make a commitment and stick with it. Always look for ways to do free advertising too. When results follow, you can always increase your cost in more advertising to skyrocket your business.

Thanks

An affiliate should start by setting a small advertising budget for the first month and see which type of advertising provides him/her with the best results. Then, if the affiliate can afford to, he/she should use some of the earnings the advertising helped him/her receive to purchase an increasing amount of advertising that actually brings results. For example, if the affiliate joins a traffic exchange and only purchases the monthly subscription then finds that the traffic exchange brings good results,

Spend as much as you can. With so many advertising channels available online and a product which has universal acceptance, to advertise and get as many PSA as possible should be absolutely easy. From personal experience, I feel better way to advertise is prepare a small product review by visiting the gateways and try to advertise in the following channels :-

1. Search Engines
2. Site Directories
3. Craigslist (for those residing in USA)
4. Safelists
5. Traffic Exchanges
6.
