Forum advertising seems to be the best. Also, personal friends and word of mouth.

I just tested an idea with Adwords - used a £50 voucher (and £10 of my own money)

21 clicks, 9 sales, all £60 used - took about 4 hours (including the time to create the ad).

Now THAT is how you do targeted marketing! I'm sure your ROI is high enough that the £60 actually used in the campaign can be recovered in the first month, or two of service.

Sure sounds like whatever test scenario you did is definitely worth through £100 at next time and seeing how it goes. I'll take a near 50% conversion any day of the week!

That is an incredible conversion, othellotech! First thing I'd do after seeing such results is increase the budget 10x and watch the sales skyrocket. Do you continue to run the ad(s)? What stats are you seeing?

I'm curious if the ROI is there for the 60 invested.
There's a lot of lopsided money pits out there, as "advertising" methods.

In terms of sales: Twitter posting.
However this might be taken by direct mailing on twitter made via http://asnoop.com/

9 sales with only $60 spent and only 21 clicks? That is very impressive indeed... What ever you did, keep doing it.

The best one I did so far is forum advertising.
