What Has Been Your Most Successful Advertising?

14 replies
Hey All!---->

Ok, So I'm doing a lot of research right now with paid advertising.

-Banner ads
-Google Text Ads
-Facebook Ads
-Bing Ads
-etc...
So, I thought I'd come and ask my favorite people in the whole world,
What Type of Advertising Is Working Best for YOU!

Personally, I believe paid traffic is the best traffic but, I'd like to hear how, where,
and what you may be advertising. You don't have to spill all your beans, just give
some insight of what's working.

Is old advertising dead? I'm testing the "new ways" of advertising and some old ways
as well. Getting all this marketing stuff figured out.

Hope we all learn something here.

Thanks,

Robert C.----->

    FREE FB Marketing to date - it converts really well provided you do it well...

    I normally search for people in groups who need help, or who are looking for opportunities. Rather than pitching them I would help them with their current biz opp, provide solutions and even talk to them like I would talk to a friend provided most of the focus is on them.

    Given I provide a ton of vale in my sales funnel I get them to subscribe there to get my bootcamp training or I send them trainings which will help them.

    Once they trust me they will buy from me through my funnel.

    With this said I still use paid advertising methods like WSOs on Warrior Forum, solo ads, banner media etc...

    Soon I will tap into FB ads because it is the cheapest way to build a list and people coming through FB ads wont be bombarded with spam like they normally are through solo ads.

    Branding.

    I'm a traffic junkie. I'll take traffic from free or paid sources. If it has the potential to convert - I want it.

    Examples:

    1. FB Groups & Fan Pages
    2. POF
    3. Bing Ads
    4. SEO

    4 sources out of hundreds.

    But branding is my best source. Put effort into branding and you stand to receive passive traffic from both online and offline sources. Having been working online for 2 decades, I come from a webmaster generation that knows and remembers the value of a website brand over, say, fleeting videos, list bursts, and so forth. I do all those things, of course, but brand is the top dog.

      Banner ads are invisible these days

      Facebook is rubbish because people don't go on Facebook to buy stuff, they go on to catch up with their friends.

      Similar can be said for Twitter.

      The ONLY form of successful, measurable advertising on a true cost per conversion basis is PAID SEARCH, e.g. Adwords or Bing - where the user has actively searched for your product or service before they even click on your ad.

      Nothing else comes close.

        FB advertising isn't for everyone, but to say it's rubbish is ignorant. Either you've never tried it, or you quit before becoming successful. Most super affiliates deal strictly with FB.

        That's one of the most ridiculous statements I've ever come across. To imply you can only sell when someone is specifically searching is crazy.

    I have had good success on LinkedIn in the past, but the fastest way is probably paid advertising, but you have to make sure it's targeted to what you are selling

      Hey Robert,
      Bing Ads pointed towards a Squeeze Page has been a very reasonable advertising medium for me.
      As well as good quality Solo Ads.

    Robert,

    Don't forget that what ever is working really well for one marketer, it may not work for others.

    The best thing you can do is to test and see which places are working really well for you and which ones don't. Then you will be able to scale up your marketing with the places that really work well for you.

    Never spend more then $50-$100 to test. Whether it is solo ads, pay per click, high traffic websites, etc.

    Pay per click (PPC) hands down. Before Google became a**holes. But even so still, i would use 2nd and 3rd level PPC services and still got great traffic to convert - at super low prices. Most have gone out of business now... click fraud and etc. But i still use PPC and it's working great. 2nd to this would be joint ventures.

    I believe the best type of traffic is video marketing just because people can see who you are and you can show that you are a regular person just like them.

    People love to watch videos and they can really be exponentially shared throughout the web! If talking about paid advertisement I think I would choose solo ads and Facebook PPC.

    Solo ads because its a fast source of traffic and you can get people watching your offer in less than 48 hours and it allows you to build your list. PPC because its super targeted and if your cost per click is low then you won't have to spend tons of money to get lots of targeted leads.

    Hope this helps!

    I'll let you in on a little secret that I'm going to adding to my research (ads and sites), and that will be video preframing.
    I've been studying with "the Best of The Best" and learning a ton about what's coming in the future, 2015 and beyond. (And I'm applying what I learn from the greats in all types of advertising mediums)

    These are the guys that set the standards in internet marketing (now and future),,Names like Frank Kern and Russell Wright, and even Vick Strizheus. If you look at these guys and how they market and what they are doing, it's easy to see how they are changing the way marketing is evolving.

    You can't just flop ads in front of customers anymore. It's becoming how to get customers to see you out.
    It's about the "pull" of your "product" and not the "push" of your products on people. Nobody likes the pushy salesmen and people are becoming immune to the ads of today and yesterday.

    It's about entertainment, and education. And other things,, as you'll see. It's still about content and engagement. And most of all, it's all about giving as much "VALUE" as you can and building trust. These things will bring you what you want. Give people what they want and you will get what you want. Make it Win Win. Not give and take.

    Robert C.

    p.s. I love this stuff. Oh, and I'm getting all this together to bring it to you soon. I'm working on a new video for my signature
    maybe for tomorrow. And thanks for sharing.
