yes you should tom....but should you try and test the free adtvertising and get it converting well, then go large spend up and advertise what you know will bring in massive sales. you dont wont to go burning a whole lot of money on ads that dont work....do smaller test, get your conversions up, test again and compete against yourself to see if you can beat those results, then go out and spend 1000, 2000, 5000 dollars, or hey if you got more spend it and sit back while you watch you bank account top up.
The Person People would be like, "Oh yea, Tom has me in his Top 8".....and I'll be like "I own Tom"....*mouth drops in amazement"
lol....we all wish we could have done that years ago. but the truth of the matter is you dont have go spending thousands of dollars on the advertising bit. If you have a good idea then go with that. It is the way you market and your ideas that will give you massive amounts of money. what about the uni kid that made 1 million dollars by letting people buy advertising pixels - there was 1 million pixels and to purchase one square cost $1..... that = $1,000,000 once all the squares were filled up. how clever is that. if you can think up something like this or similar you are really onto a winner. most the rebel marketers dont have to pay for their marketing much at all it all start with a genius idea that goes viral and gets people talking about. same as the people on ebay tattoes themselves with websites and advertisers were paying them to do so. come up with that small simple idea no one else is doing and you will make your first million.....good luck
honestly this isn't a shameless plug but if you have an animated picture a lot more people tend to view your profile. especially if it's an interesting gif for the viewer. check my sig to make yours if you would like
haha, love the domain name I have always used animated GIFS (of my photograpy(also not a shameless plug)). I get lots of "how did you do that's?"
