In my experience you can get a cirtain amount of success with free advertising, such as posting on free ad sites or forums. However, this business is a numbers game. You have to find qualified prospects to work the business.
By this I mean people who are already interested in your specific business opportunity and share your work ethic. Therefore, if you have the funds I would always suggest paid advertising with companies that have the resources to post high volume, high converting ads.

The answer to your question will vary according to your expectations and efforts. For paid I recommend the S-Builder. A poorly written and/or placed ad campaign is a waste of money. Some internet advertising providers will not accept SFI ads so looking for the right provider and appropriate placement can be time consuming.

For free or low-cost you could write about SFI or put your SFI and TripleClicks ads in appropriate targeted blogs, websites, and articles. If you maintain sites or

I am offering you the opportunity to discern what is best based on my experience. I bought several paid advertising that promise guaranteed sign-ups and when the period of said stated delivery is already met, I noticed that most of the delivered new affiliates were not real names, that is why I am relying on my own strategy to establish credibility and gradually pool a group of followers that are committed to become active in SFI. By my own, I have decided to set example for my followers to emulate

This is a very good questions. Here is what i believe:
both methods are useful taking into consideration that both will bring you the partners. But none of the methods will give you the guarantee that they will be active too. Hence, if you are at the beginning, it will be good for you to test the free one. And put your creativity to work. You work a little bit harder, but the results will not be delayed…and the satisfaction will be double…

I hope my answer will help

I believe paid advertising is more effective at first because most of the people who join SFI have little to no experience with advertising, I think this is why a lot of affiliates have such a hard time getting started. With paid advertising you can get your business off to a faster start,and then go to a mix of free and paid once you learn how to properly advertise your business.Also at the start this will free up more time to learn how to support your downline,and to become a good leader.

If you are a new comer and do not have sufficient knowledge about advertising, i would recommend free advertising.

The basic reason is that most of us might have limited amount to spend on advertising.
Free advertisements might not be shown in the limelight but it is definitely effective.

It is by trial and error method that we might come to a conclusion as to what type of advertisements draw people to join SFI. Once you know which one works, you could go for paid advertisement.

It depends on how it is used and who is using it to warrant which is more effective.

For one who is financially buoyant will always pre fare paid advertisement because he/she always feel that quality sign ups can always come from it as a result of well designed and good features
Which will attract or captivate peoples mind easily.

On the other hand,free advertisement should interest newbies who are short of finance in running the business to keep them going before getting

In my opinion I would opt for the best of both world that is both Paid As well as Free Advertising platforms to boost and promote my SFI Business

However Paid Ad Platforms tend to offer more niche targetted audience but at the same time donor overlook the free avenues as they also have a vast marketplace for you to explore

Instead I would suggest to post an ad a day no matter how busy you may be so that in 365 days u would have placed 365 ads

There are no

At first Advertising can be defined as a communication whose purpose is to influence potential customers about products and services available on local or foreign markets.
secondly for any advertising to be effective it must reach its objective that is to reach its target which is the potential customers whether it should be paid or not.
So finally we can bear in mind that the effectiveness of an advertising does not depend on the fact that it is a paid or a free advertising but

Hi Mario Šali?

Well, I believe that the most of people will say that the paid advertising is better or maybe even both are good.
Yes, maybe that's true. I don't know really, I never used paid advertising. Why would I?
I saw that even people who are paying for ads are complaing about their PSA's. Why is that?
Maybe they have like 1.500 PSA's and just few of them are active.
And maybe they are just not so good sponsors. I think that's the right answer.
Ok,
