I want to place an ad in my local paper for the business opportunity but I want something different than what's in the Roadmap to Success. Has anyone written an ad that was really successful for them that they're willing to share?


Thanks for your help.

You might want to ask Charlie what people have had success with?

I wrote one in our local paper, but I need to re-word it because people did not realise that it was a commission based business opportunity. I believe it said


Candle Distributors needed for a new home based gourmet candle company in the area........contact Debra at......


I had it run only a week just to see what happened, but it should be in at least 3 weeks for a weekly paper and at least 2 weeks for a daily paper from what I read. People will see it 2 or 3 times before they will respond to an add. I was thinking of trying it again.


I wrote up my own press release and the local paper published it FREE for me with my pictureand everything - A lot of people saw it and mentioned it. It was free so why not??It really helpedput the name out there becausepeople here have never heard of it.


Good luck! smileys/smiley1.gif
