I would suggest that the first thing you need to do is to determine 1) your level of trust with ASD - mine is very high; and 2) based on that and your goals with ASD, determine how big you want your organization to be and therefore, how big your ad budget should be.

There are a number of ad co-ops available, and they all cost money. One is based on the new Opportunity America TV show mentioned by RobbieMor above. About to be launched, so no results yet. Another is a google ad keyword click campaign - the "Hot Prospect Generator" campaign; it's pretty costly, but many are having success with that one. (I sponsored one person from that one and he and his son went to Tampa and they both partook of the 100% matching bonus promotion, which is a match for me as well, so for me it has already paid for itself.)

With the new ASD Offer Universe, you can share ASD-based discount shopping with anyone in your address book, and if they want to be a member, they would join under you. The company has big plans and hopes with this one for bringing in ad revenues as well as many new members.

You can always do the things most of us cringe at: buy opportunity seeker lists and call, call, call. Also, join a forum and/or a social network and create your user profile and mention/advertise within that group.

Remember that ASD is an advertising opportunity for individuals and businesses, a new way to present your business or service to a targeted audience - for free. That in itself is a powerful presentation! Talk about it - present it to others.

It doesn't take many in a group to make a huge difference in your bottom line. If I sponsor one person who is serious, I'll receive a 10% rebate on that person's advertising upgrade. If he/she purchases $5000 of advertising for a 50% promotion, for example, then they would get $2500 additional advertising from the company, and I would get a $2500 matching ad pack plus 10% of their original ad purchase of $5000 ( = $500) direct to my cash balance. AND I'll receive an ongoing 10% of their daily upgrades: if their ad pack value is now $7500 ($5000 + $2500), if they upgrade daily at 100%, they will receive a 1% rebate of $75/day to their cash account, and I'll receive 10% of that = $7.50/day. It can add up very quickly.

Just some thoughts.
