Hello,
This is my second post here.
My first post was an introduction which outlined my business so far which you can read here
https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/introductions-networking/38692-took-plunge.html
Ive been working on a 2nd site and my first product is going live tonight.
Where I am struggling is with advertising - I have no experience with Adwords or any other form of advertising and I'm scared really of just throwing money away.
I know that this next question is how long is a piece of string... But I'm at a loss to work out how much my budget should be for testing and how I should even approach these things such as where to advertise and what method is best.
Adwords - I just blew about 1500 usd over a couple of weeks for not very many conversions ( I split test the ads and tried out both search and display networks). I also ran an ad in a magazine which broke even over 3 months.
I guess I'm just doing it wrong.
Has anyone any suggestions on how I can really start to ramp things up?
My other thought was to develope an affiliate program.
Perhaps someone could recommend some articles or books I can look I to or any other suggestions.
The sites themselves are doing pretty well and I've not really done advertising and I believe that I could really ramp it all up very quickly if I start paying for some decent advertising. But at the same time without any experience in this field I could also be pouring my money away!
Thanks in advance!
