If you can recruit 5 PSAs who become EA2 every month, there is no cost to you. The commission that you earn from their Standing Order will cover the cost of your Standing Order .
It is that simple.
If you can recruit just 5 PSAs per month & they recruit 5 PSAs each then just see your commission in 6 months time


Month EA2 Total EAs Total VP Monthly Income
1st 5: 5x1500 = 7500 $3.75
2nd 25: 30x1500 = 45000 $22.50
3rd 125: 155x1500 = 232500

The most effective advertising is both Paid and Free Advertising.

The paid advertising cost money but if you keep doing it people
learn more about you and your brand.

Free Advertising is great on the pockets but more time consuming.


Word of mouth / Friend to Friend creates more of a bond and spreads faster
then you would think. If all three are done daily then more leads will be created.

free advertising will give you 'free' returns; when I say free returns I mean it literally (nothing to earn). whereas paid advertisement will pay you some returns.

life is a give and take affair; the way you advertise explains the seriousness of your advertisement. For instance just explore through some of the sponsoring and referring methods. some methods are free but for some there is a price tag on it. methods that have price tag seem to have wider coverage of potential members/customers.

Nice queestion.
And paid and free adverising have and positive and negative sides.
Paid - you spend money, but success came quickly, and sometimes people are more motivated to work to restore the money.
Free - you spend your time, not money. Also, many people don't have money, so them remains free way to make money. J know so many people who succeed in this business without investment, but htey invest very mush time, effort, faith and strength.
So , choise is your. You can't

The difference in effectiveness between the paid and free adds almost non-existent. If a unit of measurement of effectiveness, take actions that come with it, there is no difference, whether it is a PSA or PRM. If someone needs a job (PTE or FTE), or is interested in the auction, ECA stores, where can sell or buy something, which in other places can not find cheaper, or that none at all, this one will work, whether it be joined through paid or free adds.

Another question is, what position

"Which is more effective--paid or free advertising--and why?"
effectiveness, which is better. to me i will say paid is better, why do i say paid? free advertizing may not bee too trustworthy, people may not believe in the originality of the advert, am not condemning free advert, it works too but paid works more.
if i can waste my money for paid advert then i should not do it fake. if i have the money to do paid, i will not try free. people likes advert that they know its paid

The huge difference between Paid and free Advertising is you are trading money for time. If you have the money to do paid advertising I would highly reccomend the S-Builder Co=op
If you cant afford a whole S-builder co-op unit ask your upload about former a team co-op where you can purchase a 1/2 or 1/4 of a unit

You can learn about Free Advertising directly from SFI in Internert Marketing Lessons 23 and 24.

Hi,

In every business you need a capital. And in every thing in the work paid or costly thing has quality.It just like if you buy gadget you will go ofcourse in high quality but you need to spent little bit more. In shools private or government paid and free. Both are good and both you can finish if you serious.So what Im telling you is depend on the person.we cannot guaranty if you paid that you will be successful.So why you go on paid if you can do it in free. Especially if you just
