    I know some people do and most people don't have 10k spending money to put

    towards marketing there business. So i am curious, if you did have 10k to use

    for advertising, what advertising methods would you use? You can mention

    as many different advertising sources as you want. For me it would be

    No Order

    PPC-- Placement Targeting or Adwords
    Articles- Have 300 articles written for me
    Solo Ads- Buy about 20 to 30 solo ads a month
    Redirect Leads
    Classified Ads- Outsource to someone or use software to automate postings
    to Gumtree, Backpage, Craiglist, Usfreeads, Kijiji, Ebay
    PPV Traffic-- Pay Per View

    What would yours be?

    It is always good to use variety of methods. $10k can be pretty decent budget for PPC+PPV+blog articles. I would shove the rest, it is too much time consuming and the results are not worth the effort imho.

    I'd definitely go with PPC because if you are well-read into it and thoroughly understand the process (and of course your profit per sale exceeds your cost per conversion) then you are set and will make quite a nice bundle of money.

    If you're thinking about promoting it on the internet, of course it's PPC.

    But with that kind of money, even some TV ads will gain you popularity.

    Yeah PPC gets very expensive very fast. I remember hearing recommendations of budgeting around $300.00 per campaign to test it. :eek:

    More than $10,000. I advertise in other sites.

    Where did you come up with that figure, anyway, and what does it matter?

    Maybe not hookers LOL, but maybe get some really hot models to make a TV commercial. Remember the first GoDaddy commercials, no one even knew what Godaddy was until those hit the air. So I would have say TV Commercials as well :)

    Ho humm.. Guerilla tactics from hell is where i would start. 10,000 flyers local driving traffic back to site. Direct mail traffic to site.

    Joint Ventures
    Listbuilding This would be #1

    I might even pay to get good continuity put together, then approach a huge JV offer, with cash, and have then shoot offer too list, plus piece of the commission.

    In the end, i want a laser targeted List.

    I have to say that I'm sure many would strongly disagree with me because PPC is obviously extremely popular. But, PPC is usually a bad deal, so I would suggest avoiding PPC advertising. If you can, you're much better off paying per impression. If you really want more details I will gladly explain it mathematically.

    1. I'll buy a lot of relevant blog post.
    2. I'll sponsor footer links from wordpress themes.
    3. I'll hire people to write good articles to be submitted on article directories.
    4. PPC would be the last resort.

    I wouldn't even know where to begin. I'd probably hire someone knowledgeable to do it for me, or to teach me how to do it. PPC seems like the way to go though.
