Should i continue working with Fortune 500 usa?

Question

I've been working with Fortune 500 usa for about 8 months now and for the first six months of my business the Advertising consultant they assigned to help me market my amazon.com associate site helped teach me alot about how to do it right.

the few few months were kind of slow averaging less than $200 per month. these past few months though i've been getting around $500 dollars per month.

I've been using free forms of marketing they tought me, but now they are suggesting 1 spend $1,000-$2,000 on an ad campaign to try an increase my commissions.

I only started this to help augment my retirement. is it worth it to take the chance? what if nothing happens and my commissions remain the same? {it would take 3-4 months to regain that lost money!!!}

How efective are these ad campaigns at raising monthly revenue?

Hi,

I have a lot of experience marketing small companies online (I have 3 companies).  One of the best ways is to sign up at business directories and protals.  These are basically listings of businesses (simliar to the phone book).  The advantage is that these portals usually get a lot of traffic and they're ranked high on Google because of all the quality links they contain.

My favorite portal is called Directory Exclusive.  I signed up a few weeks ago because they're giving a away a free business card holder when a person enter's their company info.  I received it in the mail 3 days ago =)

I don't know if they still have that promotion, but you can try to get the free card holder here:
