Yes and it's very true that solo ads work perfect well during initial launch and when all of the other members get to know about it. Everyone will jump in a place a solo ad each for themselves. Now guess what, the ad response won't turn out to be good due to the number of people putting the ads. There some uplines out there doing the right thing. ~Terry Hi Lee, Thanks for dropping by.

I think for a network marketer to truly be an entrepreneur, she has to come up with innovative ways of getting the job done, not just follow directions from the upline. Of course, that goes agains most network marketers' mindsets, because they just want something they can plug into and become a bazillionaire overnight. One thing, though, is that the tactics your upline suggests may have worked for him. Once those venues are saturated, though, the downline has to find more and more creative ways to market the product/business. For example, solo ads might be great during the few days after launch, but if you're one of the people who answered a solo ad, guess what? You're in with the hordes of people that didn't get to hear about the business pre-launch. And now you're fighting against tons of other marketers out there trying to promote the same business. The upline tells everyone to use solo ads (because they worked for the upline), but since everyone is now using them to promote one business, they don't work anymore. Some uplines misdirect, but I think others just don't realize how specific tactics can be diluted once they reach the downline. Have a great day! Lee You make some very good points here.
