I have this really good idea to start a business.

I´m american and I live in Brazil. AS we all know, foreign countries are big on learning English as a second language for better jobs, better opportunities, etc. I´ve already been giving private classes for 2 yrs. But now I wanna go bigger. I wanna do group classes, business classes, Intensive group classes, you name it. Anything in groups. But I´m having trouble advertizing it on a low budget. I already have a website (www.aulasdeinglesnorio.com) and i have put it on google adwords, but i got nothing. My private classes i can advertise well on google, but these group business classes, no. I am focused on finding rich business people that can afford my expensive classes and are interested in learning english quickly, effectively, and while having fun. HOW DO I ADVERTISE MY EXPENSIVE GROUP ENGLISH CLASSES IN RIO, BRAZIL??!!! please give me 100 options and ideas!!! Creativity!!

Anti Graffiti is awesome. Basically you get a stencil, and a powerhose, and clean streets/walls with the high power hose through the stencil, leaving your message wherever your stencil was.

You could advertise by posting flyers or by leaving your business card at various locations - universities, offices or even cafés … public places where businesses could get in touch with you easily or find your website address and see what you have to offer.

who will teach these classes? you? how many people do you need, then, to respond to you? find 20, advertise at at an expensive restaurant or in a nice clothing shop. GO where rich people go and charm your way into getting management to have discrete and tasteful cards (that you have had printed) available which will explain the class you intend to give, and do say why your class is better than the local university.

Have you tried to advertise on craigslist.com or try creating a myspace.com account page and twitter is also a great networking avenue. Hope this helps I am learning that you can never have too many free internet advertising locations. Sounds like a great idea good luck! J

Get a sign and stand on the corner of the business district and advertise your Expensive English Classes. Hope this helps :-)
