Anyone having success with legitimate printed ads? If so which services and how can you verify they are not just scamming you?

    For well over a decade, I've been using two of what I consider to be among the top print ad agencies - NationwideAdvertising and Wolf Enterprises. These are especially effective for offline promotions of MLM and home business opportunity offers.

      Thank-You, just wondering how you verify that they are actually providing the services you pay for?

        You can request proof copies of the publications for your ad run dates. In addition, it is essential to have a tracking system in place; unique for each publication. What I always do is have a unique telephone number extension and website tracking id in the ad.

          Great ideas have you had success from the print ads?

            Those ideas are nothing new. I have had astounding success over the last 17 years in building my MLM team using the resources mentioned above.

            And most of those publications also have online components which can drive massive amounts of targeted traffic.

            There may be some publication that flop, but the ones that draw acceptable convertible traffic get larger ads and incrementally higher advertising expenditures.

            Of course my favorite traffic generation method is article syndication, where quite often I have received the equivalent of tens of thousands of dollars in free advertising from prestigious publications.

            Here's basically how it works. As this traffic from either ads or articles opted into my funnel system, prospects were first presented with niche-relevant affiliate products (ie Clickbank, Amazon, etc).

            After a series of transactions, additional communication channels were added such as social media, telephone, postal mail, webinars, local seminars, and face-to-face or one-on-one sessions.

            Of course, not everyone joined my MLM company, but those that didn't often continued to buy progressively higher end affiliate products and/or my marketing consultation services.

            My downline is trained regularly to use my marketing system every week through conference calls, webinars, podcasts, videos, website tools, local offline seminars, etc. The most promising leaders are provided with more extensive one-on-one attention and surplus leads from my marketing machine.

            It is absolutely essential for success in MLM that your downline at all levels can duplicate your marketing system.

    Claude and Ewen probably know more about this.

    You run an ad with a tracking method (ie. a phone # just for that ad, or a special link, or get them to ask for "Betty" when nobody named Betty works for you) and see how it pulls.

    If it doesn't, you scrap it.

    If it does, you know it works.

    But at least you can measure responses by your tracking method.

    None of this "you need to see an ad seven times" nonsense.

    Obviously there are other factors to ad success--if the ad got zero response, it might just be lousy copy rather than a scam platform.
