Hi Leanne, I have not paid for any advertising other than the business cards that I made. I know that free ads will take longer but that is what I am willing to spend right now. I also joined a program that I will earn advertising (not an auto surf). When I find an ad spot that I really feel is worth my money I will do it. I'm in my programs for the long haul so I'm just taking my time to learn from others mistakes and accomplishments. The tortoise won the race by going slow and steady. Have a wonderful day, Sheryl

Thanks Leanne for sharing this information. so far I have only used Free advertising. I don't want to get into a bad spot.
