Where have all the sales gone?  
Long time passing,
Where have all the sales gone?  
Not to me, for sure!
Where have all the sales gone?  
Gone to the gurus, every one.
When will we ever learn, when will we ever learn?
  
Sung to the tune of "Where Have All The Flowers Gone".

Anyone got any ideas?     It certainly seems to have gone quiet out there
on the marketing front, as well as here in Apsense.

Are you having success marketing?     Are the TE's working for you?
How about the safelists?   

What does work at the moment?

Maybe it's time to learn something new, put the makeup on, and try
and make a video.........

Hi Paula, Yes, it's better to have a few who will work at a program, than a dead downline! :-)
I don't do MLM so much any more, as I'm currently trying affiliate marketing - one off sales. Will see how that goes......

Well I am also far away from becoming a millionaire. I gained some sign up is my favorite program from people the I got to know through APSense and Faceplate. They know how I think and what my visions are. And I am pretty sure they will build their own team in due time. I rather have a few than 1000 that do nothing.

You are right, of course, kalpna, and I'm still online trying to make a buck. It does't get any easier, but at least I'm learning tactics slowly.......

Really speaking so far most of the freesites are just spammers who collect emails and sell on whooping prices through back door.Look for geniune mkt to earn.

Juenelle, I will sign up for your robo form..hopefully...before week end.
I have my garage all tore out, trying to organize it...again...lol. I am ready to put everything out to the curbside...lol.
Just thought I would drop in to Apsense, and check out a few blogs & say hello.

I'm really sorry to hear all the "stuff" to put it nicely...that's happening. :(

Just plain honesty

I wonder how many members of Apsense deliberately deny sales to fellow members - could this be why the number of sales is dropping?

A little while ago I posted an ad (something I rarely do) for an advertising widget.

This widget is a free product, though there is an upgrade available for those with many web sites, and creates an interesting panel on a web page that is both eye catching and effective.

The url I used for the ad was unique to Apsense (for no other reason than I didn't adve

Hi, Jeunelle,

I just read, again, what you said - and I can't believe you said it . . . . . . .

Everyone has their own styles which makes the community so rich.

NO THEY DON'T!!!

Therein lies the problem here and in so many other social sites that have been infested by those who call themselves marketers.

I believe 97% of the members who post blogs here are incapable of creating a style of their own - they can only copy and paste somebody else's style.

If you look round the adv

A very tiny bit of advice... making more sales is the hardest part of any business, but it's also the easiest part to find excuses for under-- performance.

A whole lot of folks are going to be"down- sizing" their sales efforts for a variety of reasons... And this is the precise moment when you should be going all- out, full steam ahead.

Look at it this way-- Recessionary thinking is going to take some of the competition out of the game... Never fail to take advantage of this fact... Adj

Well well well,

for me it has gone quiet because I am working on my advertising programme and apart from blogs in classifieds, and my Biz Centre , it is a little restrictive here.

If I sent a PM to one of my contacts recommending it, i will probably be reported as a spammer by someone so paranoid that they cant tell the difference between a copy/paste ad and a personal invitation to something I feel might benefit them.

Let it be heard - I DO NOT LIKE SPAM - but the quantity of spam on ApSe

To paraphrase Coach Steve

3% active members + 97% inactive members = dire consequences.

The more I look at Apsense the more I have this horrible feeling of déjà vu.

Doesn't it feel a bit like a traffic exchange in here? It seems to me that the only difference is there isn't a timer on the adverts (sorry, blogs) we are asked to view.

Once marketers infest a site, it is lost.

I thought I had just lost my knack... It's not only me!!!..

I do have one program I have been promoting a little more.. An advertising program.. It has been pulling me by adding on downline and as an income opportunity, but other than that, it seems like I am stuck in the mud! At least for now!

And Apsense, I can't seem to get over $2.90..... haha so Pete, I guess we are in the same boat!
