Where does that leave the newbie wanting to build? - geek/talk: Signature-free discourse for serious web publishers

I am looking for responsive ways to advertise my MLM opportunity for free or cheaply and ways that my downline can duplicate.

I have tried:

1) Google ads - too expensive for most good keywords
2) Search Engines - most affiliate/referral links do not get ranked although I do have my own site I work on
3) Safelists - a waste of time?
4) Yahoo groups - the same?
5) Hitexchanges - used to work but now too many and too many auto-surfs?
6) Ezine advertising - can work if targetted but solo ads can be expensive and other ads get lost.

So where does that leave the newbie wanting to build an online business

MLM is not without its challenges...my thought would be to try and change your approach. Try to turn your model upside down. For example, Gillette razors were inspired by a gold rush tycoon who made all his money - not in gold - but selling shovels. Gillette does the same thing, thier razors are cheap but the blades cost a small fortune. My suggestion is to go viral, have a product or offering that people want and want to share, you can tie your MLM into that. Just my 2 cents worth.
