Arrow Online Advertise Works!

Hello,

Many people discuss if its worth spending over $100+ /month on advertising.
Well here is my saying: To get a little you need to spend a little.

Traffic is not going to come to your site for free.

At first I was like many of you, I did not want to pay $100/month for advertising on message boards or websites.

But - I said, lets try it out for 1 month and see how it goes. I came across an IRC search engine site and they receive about 120,000 new people a day and they charge $100/month for advertising.

My Glow stick store start doubling thier sales. And i started to get about 500 people coming to my site everyday. I advertising with them for like 4 months, and decided to move on to anther industry because the profit for each product was low.

But, like i said: You have to spend a little to earn a little.

Who thinks 100 a month is to much? Thats low IMO. most businesses fail because there advertising budget is the first thing that is cut when sales are low. Not to be real mean or anything. BUT WHY IN THE HELL WOULD YOU DO THAT!

But anyways, glad you did some good business because you spent some money on advertsing. Spend some more and i bet sales will do even better But rember, dont do the spray and pray method. Advertise were your "potential" customers willl actually see it.

Congrats

Congrats on your success with that investment. I would have to advise that others look into every advertising opportunity. This is not the typical results (Straight off the Jenny Criag website).
