Thank you very much, all solid advice.

I finally realized there is no silver expert sales person that is going to do this for me. Neither is there a magic sales space marketplace to make instant deals.

Instead I buckled down, made a media kit, wrote up an introduction letter with as much details as I could muster.

As soon as I started circulating this, I've made four ad space sales, 3 of which were 6 issue commitments.

So, no shortcuts, just good hard work and beating the streets does the trick.

I would disagree with the effectiveness affiliate ads, even facebook has a conversion ratio of .03% or less? Seems to me the fad has passed or at best it is only effective for mega corps that can throw millions at ads, certainly not something for the small business on a budget. But that's my opinion based on people I've spoken too.

Thank you again!
