The firs important part to start a successful business is the advertisement, where you advertise your business and how much you do it.

The best advertisement should be search engine advertisement like google ad words etc.?

Please share your knowledge, what you think, what is the best place to advertise online business.

The question is about as vague as, "Where do I advertise my offline business?"

The answers to each depends on many different factors, auch as: Who is your target audience? What demographics are you trying to target? What are you selling? Where are you selling it?

Also, what are you trying to accomplish with your advertising? (Brand recognition? Sales? Leads for future direct mailings?)

Also, what's your budget and how are you going to allocate your money?

Just like in the offline world, different online businesses have different needs and different goals. You need to analyze them and provide some more information, otherwise it will be difficult to get meaningful answers.

The question is about as vague as, "Where do I advertise my offline business?"

My thoughts precisely. And the answer is the same. In targeted journals/newspapers/magazines, full page, right hand facing or back cover.

I shouldn't waste money on Adwords. Sponsored search results on the major search engines are a better investment.

my online business target is financial incoming(investing) also some advertisers does not do any bad.(internationa).

can you suggest some good advertisement places for this kind of online business.

The budget should be higher for good effective advertisement and lower for no so effective advertisement.(but not over 5.000 USD for one advertisement)

Thank You,

know where your target audience is and how to reach them is the first thing you need to think of in my opinion, then find some keywords that describe your business the best, and focus to advertise with those to optimize your website with.

I would suggest to prepare a workable business plan and arrange some resource for funding.

I shouldn't waste money on Adwords.

Why not?

I began using adWords on my wife's site and in the first month her traffic quadrupled, and sales went through the roof, on a $50/month $5/day budget.

I run a resume writing business. It is a piece of cake. I don't even know anything about resume writing and I just went to the libary and borrowed some books on it. Now I spend about $300 advertising on Google every day and make more than $2500 daily. You just need to make a review chart and the money comes in.
