What about Newspaper adds?

I asked my uplines , the co-founder of the company about newspapers add and the answer was : " You will lose money" , "It won't work".

I decided not to listen to them , I had to take action, I have to do something!!

I ran the first add, I get 2 phone calls , I end up signing up one person.

I decided to advertise more, I did couple of Newspaper adds with Zero calls!!! I wasted decent money!!

Obviously, I was not running a good Copy Add, Not the correct section in the newspaper, not the appropriate tactic!!!

What do yo do when you have uplines who have no idea about marketing!!!

How do they make their money!! who do they speak with?

I asked the uplines again : what's next? The answer was go back to your warm market!!!
