I also put PPC ads on my affiliate pages – I take the view that some people will click out almost straight away – some of them might click on a sponsered link and earn me a few pennies. Every little helps!

I am sure that the price would be costly. But my thoughts are on choosing to place ads with newspapers in other towns and cities that have a lower cost. You would never want to do this if the cost of the ad was too high because then you would be fighting to just draw even. I guess one thing to consider though is how high the success ratio is. I mean if you spend $100 on a newspaper ad and in return that ads makes you $1000 then there is nothing wrong with that. I’d start testing the water with lower cost ads first though.

Does anyone have thoughts on running ads that say “Free Trial” ?

I think you are right. I have a local trader magazine in my area called, The Peddler and in this magazine, you can advertise just about anything you want for free as long as the price is at or below $250.

Depending on what you are selling, you may have to pay money, but even still it is less than $20 dollars. This trader magazine is hot. Everyone reads it. I used it a few times to sell used items on mine and my phone was ringing off the hook for a week.

I am glad that this sparked an idea for you. Good luck and when you run some ads, come back and let me know how things went for you.

Very true… even if one is Real Serious, it wouldn’t matter if the price of the ads were too high. You have to find cheap ad prices. Also too, it would be a good idea to run ads in newspapers in surrounding cities. Thanks for the comment.
