It all depends on how much time you have on your hands. Most of us work a full time job and cannot devote a lot of hours to the business like we want to at the beginning. I think its best to use both free and paid advertising. I do a little bit of both following the training the company provides us. The paid advertising has been very productive for me building my team and residual income, but if you have a part time job and time you can certainly do well with free advertising.

Paid advertising in my book works a lot
faster.

But you must know your target audience before
using paid advertising.

If you don't know your target audience, or
even if you paid advertising resource has
the target audience available, you could
be wasting valuable time, and your money.

Research your paid advertising resource.

Look for ones that have the option to
Pause and edit the ad.
Provide detailed stats
Have Targetting Features, such as, gender, age, country

Always, Always, Always, monitor your paid traffic
sources. You can lose your shirt, and maybe even
your pants too if you leave your paid advertising unmonitored.

I quite appreciate your question although it seems really difficult to out-rightly say with confidence which affiliates are best.

Your free advertising medium may bear you much fruit by getting very active affiliates or vice versa. It is only you who will know whether this or that affiliate comes from your free or paid efforts.

The main issue here depends on the passion or hunger of the affiliates you are going to receive. Some of them may just be dormant and inactive from the word go. No matter what amount of motivational skills and efforts you may employ, you may not get feedback or any amount of action from them. Some people are just like trying to push a flat tractor.

Your persistence, patience,team work and perseverance may be your winning combination at the end of the day. You just have to keep on trying to employ both advertising strategies. Individually, i prefer free advertising especially when you are working on a tight budget. Good luck and keep on keeping on!

Anything Free is always better than anything for which we have to pay.
But having said that, you have to see if the free thing is of any use at all or not.
So before answering the question you have to see the result.
If you are getting response by free advertising,there is no need for paid but if you are not getting adequate response from free ad ,please go for paid one instead of wasting your time which is also not less costly then your money.

This one wonderful question. Thanks.
For me i'd say both are good. But if u ask me which one is more profiting i will say the one you pay for.
Bcos you will have control over what you are advertising. You will be able to draw a profile target for ur audience, you will reach at will and in time. When you use a free medium exaggerated claims are made.
For paid adverts
1. YOU have time to draw your objectives clearly
2. YOU know what to do on ur adverts to gain attention such as design, head lines,large lettering
3. You stimulate desire, convince them properly.
All is not possible with free adverts. Enjoy

For me I Did both,some of my gateways I used to google ads the by free and some Site.I got few response who LIKES my ads but they didnt join 1 TC Refferals I got on it.Then in Facebook I tried the paid one in 1 day more that 100 LIKES I got I continue till 5 days. In 5days duration more than 700 likes I got all over. but on that 7000 only 1 PSA and 1 TC member Refferal I got.I Stopped after 5ddays I paid for $25.
Look the different in PAID you get more AUDIENCe, and and Target.The control is in your pocket.I set Just set $5/day if you set more then Thousand or million of people can see your ADS the question is Did those people will JOIN? The people join according their willingness. So you better look free site just dont stop by advivertising in every site.

My initial answer is paid, however there is more to it than that.

Its more about speed. IF you have budget to pay for adverts it generally works much more quickly, with less effort on your part.

Free methods CAN be just as effective, however they are generally slower to show results and will require more effort on your part.

Hi Svetlana,
As the saying goes by that "Nothing is free in this world." Everything has a price tag attached to it so is the advertising. So go for paid advertising as it would yield better results. Even free advertising are not free actually as there are conditions attached to it. So don't run behind free things as they have hidden price attached to it in some form or the other.

So in my opinion, paid advertising is always best and yields better results as it is managed in a professional way.Finally it is your decision , which way way you want to go.

All the best.

Hi,

that is so tricky question.

I think that everything is in skill and knowledge how to use in best way your ad and to choose right places where you will place it.

If you determine budget for paid advertisement make sure you have prudence to do so, or you will just spend in vain your money.

Also if you have skill you can successfully advertise any business infinitely and at no cost for your budget, and for me this is great.

So, the answer is neither is better or worse just a matter of who uses it.
