GOOD ONE. FIRST LOOK AT FREE ADVERTISING, PRESS OR LOCAL SITES.
THEN HOW MUCH CAN YOU SPEND, YOU MUST LOOK AT E-BAY (DO THIS WORLDWIDE )
IN LOCAL SHOPS A WEEK AT A TIME, 3 WAVE ( YOU SHOULD HAVE JOIN ANYWAY) PLACE IN YOUR CAR AND DRIVE.)THERE ARE SITE WHERE YOU CAN PLACE AN AD.

obviously that is up to you the amount is what you wish to invest in the business more importantly is how you spend it. Make sure you target the right advertising and take advantage of co-op offers or start your very own co-op. If your on limited budget these are excellent ways of starting. If not decide on an amount you can afford to invest each month and go for it! As your business grows then you can increase the rate at which you advertise and the amount of people to join you. It's like the old

What I do for free is to look for websites or blogs that have something to do with business finances, or ones that interest me. I fill out the contact form and then ask the web or blog owner if I can advertise on their site in return for advertising them on my site. The easiest way to find these are by using a search engine like google (my preference). It's a great way of getting exposure. I also use twitter, facebook, and linked in social networks, where I've established relationships. Put

First you need to set up a budget. What can you afford to spend? "If it's to be it's up to me." is good advice. It doesn't have to be expensive. If you can afford $30 a month it's a good start and you can invest in Sbuilder and get a free PSA every week or so for that amount. But it's up to you to train them well once you receive them. They may have been under an affiliate who never contributed to their welfare, so you have to reassure them that you're there for them every step of the

Of course advertising is important. Advertising is telling your story to others so that they will be interested in what you have to offer. Since you asked about how much you should spend, the answer is simple...what can you afford NOT to spend?

If you don't advertise, nothing will happen. If you advertise well, the advertising will pay for itself. So how much depends on how well you adverise so it will bring results.

The answer is in learning. Between your available budgeted

It all depends on what you want to do dwith your business and what you can budget.
Right now I send my budgeted advertiising dollars on our Team Co-op and on S-Builder. This cost me about $60.00 a month and adds 50 to 60 PSA's a month to my personel dowline. Them my downline adds about anothe 100 a month. Remember we get paid for all of it.
However When I started with SFI in 2008 I had no advertising money. I started with free safelists, classified adds, x cards, anything that I could do.
