I received this question yesterday from
someone fairly new to internet marketing
and I thought this might be a topic most
of you would have questions about as well.
Q. Which is better… free advertising or paid advertising?
A. Both… Lol
I’ll explain why there is no cut and dry answer
to “which is better”.
Free and Paid advertising both have their
strengths and weaknesses. Both have
their place in a well planned marketing
campaign.
Free
1. It’s free!
2. Can be duplicated by anyone at anytime.
3. Grows over time (if you are consistent).
Paid
1. Highly targeted.
2. Almost instant results.
3. Easy to scale up.
At the end of the day only you can decide
how much time to spend on free ads and
how much money to spend on paid ads.
I can tell you a combination of both works
very well for me and my business.
If you have any questions or would like
to know my favorite free and paid traffic
sources, please contact me.
I love talking about this stuff 🙂

There is just so much conflicting advice about free v paid advertising. Means the likes of me are totally confused.
Hey Richard… You’re right, there is a lot of conflicting advice out there. That’s why I lean toward using both free and paid traffic. Of course I test and track everything so I know what is working and what is just a waste of time/money. In the end, I find that it really comes down to finding the right offer for each traffic source.
