Hello Osaro and SFI friends,

I suggest getting away from the biggers PPC providers and going with smaller, more targeted platforms. Bidvertiser has been good for me in the past and you can set a tight budget. There are many others if you search for them. Just check reviews before you start.

Target your campaigns to specific sites rather than search results. You will have more success if you aimed at a 'stay at home mums' page than you would using the term 'stay at home mums' in search results.

If you can use images in your ads, use them. The Internet is a visual place.

Rather than sending people to the SFI a gateway links try sending them to a personal video message where YOU will tell them what you have to offer. Then send them to your SFI Gateway link. A personal touch can make all the difference. It shows them YOU are human too.

In your text ads your first line has to attract their attention. Make it believable and DO NOT make statements that are outrageous such as MAKE MONEY FOR FREE. This may bring you sign ups but, they will not stay active in your team. WORK ONLINE FROM HOME is a much better heading.

There are service providers who can run your campaigns for you but you may need a LARGE budget. Make sure they can provide you with at least 10 contactable references from different industry sectors before you engage their services.

Good luck friends. May 2015 be another great year for us all.

One of the main obstacles to selling products online is to have customers visiting your website and buying your products. As an E-Commerce Associate on Tripleclicks this problem is solved for you. This is accomplished in several ways.

As an ECA you have online marketers already waiting to promote your products. You NEED to connect with them. If you are an SFI Affiliate and an ECA (you should be both to gain maximum benefits) there are several ways to accomplish this.

If you are only able to ship to certain countries go to the Country Leadership page and request an A2A friendship with the top 20 leaders. This will connect you through A2A which also connects you through the 'Stream'. You can then post product updates and specials which will then be seen on your connection's stream gaining your Tripleclicks store exposure and possible sales.

You may also consider connecting with the leading SFI affiliates in different areas of achievement. These are the dedicated SFI workers who understand the benefits of promoting SFI and Tripleclicks.

Be sure to connect with other ECAs on Tripleclicks. They are trying to establsih a business just like you and a business synergy could be created between businesses where you can be supplying each other with products through Tripleclicks.

As an SFI affiliate you should let your downline know that you have new products available as you add them. This can also be done through the Stream, Team Mail or direct contact.

Tell your SFI sponsor about new products. Your sponsor will also benefit from any sales that your TC business achieves so it within their interests to promote and support your products.

Tell people who have not yet joined Tripleclicks or SFI that they can earn a commission by promoting your products. You might have a big following on one of the social network sites. Just a few of these people promoting your products could make a big difference to the success of your business.

TIP* When you are telling other people about your Tripleclicks store it is a good idea to be linking them through your own SFI Gateway links.

Ensure you are selling QUALITY products at REASONABLE prices. If you are selling low quality products or your prices are too high you will find that your business will cost you rather than earn for you.

Good luck with your promotions and sales. Tripleclicks truly is one of the best places to be selling your products.

Hello Dan
By all means set up an email capture so you can follow up with interested people, but I would discourage you from using autoresponders for your SFI business for a few reasons.

+ After a new affiliate joins your team they will already be receiving emails from SFI.

Over the years I have been here I have had many people opt-out of SFI using the reason 'too many emails'. By subscribing them to an autoresponder of your own you will just exacerbate the problem and may find others drop out of your team as well.

+ A more personal direct approach to your team members and prospects will bring you more activity.

Autoresponders are impersonal, even if you can customise the subscribers name in the email. There are so many people using autoresponders they are becoming disliked by people. Your direct, personal contact with your team members and prospects will be more welcome than an automated email.

+ Being a REAL person rather than an automated bot is much more fun and you will make more friends :-)

Hope this help you

Hello Elif
Prospecting for PSAs, ECAs and PRMs offline can be very rewarding and you may find that those that do join you are more active than the affiliates you are sponsoring online.

The reasons offline marketing can be more effective:

+ Your prospect is seeing a REAL person who is actively involved with the business
+ Your belief in the business is transferred through your body language and attitude
+ You are investing your own time to promote the business and your prospect sees this as positive
+ You are not an just advertisement on a website that they are seeing everyday
+ Your prospect may have already seen SFI online but you are bringing it to life
+ You can offer them information that they may not have realised by reading online
+ You can leave physical items such a x-cards or brochures if you are not directly in contact with the person

Plan To Prosper

You need to have a plan and that plan should work in with your available time and funds to purchase the required tools. Be Prepared with offline marketing tools (see below). Most of the tools are inexpensive and can be claimed as a business expense (check with your accountant).

This is a basic plan that I use each month that fits in with my available time and budget.

+ Plan to give out a certain number of SFI X-Cards and talk to people about the SFI affiliate program
+ Plan to introduce a certain number of businesses to Tripleclicks each month
+ Plan to introduce a certain number of new Tripleclicks customers each month

Do not set your numbers too high in your plan. Start low and increase the number as you feel you are able, with the amount of time you have available and your budget. It is better to reach most of your goals and increase than to not reach any and have to decrease.

If you do make your plan solid and do your very best to stick to it there is no reason why you should not see your commissions growing each month.

And REMEMBER - Always be honest, helpful and polite when approaching others about your business. You should treat them like they are YOUR customers.

I hope this is helpful to you and all other SFI affiliates.

If you mean classified advertisements in newspapers you should target people who are looking for work, looking for a bargain or looking to sell items.

+ The Employment section.
Obviously a good section because people looking there will be seeking to increase their income. The down side of this will be the other work that is on offer that is providing a regular monthly salary from the very start.

+ People looking for a bargain - The 'For Sale' or 'Garage Sale' sections.
These two sections may be more successful than the employment section due to the fact that people viewing these sections are either trying to find a low priced item due to their current income level or they are looking for items to resell to make a profit.

The section is also viewed by those that are advertising their item to check their own advertisement. Your ad listing could attract their attention as they may be selling items to raise cash funds. They may also have an interest in selling their items on Tripleclicks OR joining SFI to increase their income.

If you are referring to online classifieds it will depend on the classified site. You may find the above two categories and you may find others that will be suitable.

The main thing to keep in mind when you are advertising is to try and think like someone who needs to increase their income or is not satisfied with their current employment situation.

By referring someone to SFI you are offering a chance to increase income without having to take on a full time job. If someone needs more cash in their pocket what are they doing to get it? Are they selling items? Advertising their services? Seeking employment?

What would you be doing and where would you be looking if you were in that position?

I hope this helps

Hello Maurice,
Yes it is the best time of year for us to build Tripleclicks and make it even more popular than it already is.

We can send out invitations for new Tripleclicks customers and Ecommerce Associates (ECAs) using our Gateway links. In addition to this we can give away Gift Cards that will help others save money. Who doesn't need to save money at this time of year?

It is also a good idea for us all to purchase from Tripleclicks. The more we support the current ECAs the more likely we are to see new ones join. This will create a flow of new products and services and that has to be good for all of us!

The other big online competitors spend a lot on their marketing. As SFI affiliates WE are the marketing for Tripleclicks. If we want this business to grow and prosper it is our responsibility to ensure that WE are marketing Tripleclicks. So let's all get out there and start talking about it with our friend, family, followers and leaders.

Wishing you all the best.

Hello Dianne,
There is not a best place to do this. You can begin your recruitment anywhere. Just be sure that you are not interrupting something important or causing a nuisance of yourself. Timing is everything.

If you meet someone who you believe may be interested, but they are busy or distracted try and arrange a time to follow up with a call to arrange a get together. It is better to talk to someone about business when you have their full attention.

Try not to be pushy with your introduction. You want to attract them to the business, not force them. Ask questions about them and what they do, and show a genuine interest in them. They will eventually ask you about you and what you do. Then it is time to tell them about yourself and what you do with SFI and Tripleclicks. If they seem interested you can then OFFER the business to them.

Recruiting is the hardest part of any business. Just take your time and practice before you preach.

Hello Vladimir
The most 'common' mistakes to avoid are:

+ Failing to realise that the people who join your team ARE REAL PEOPLE

+ Not sending a friendly welcome letter to your new Personally Sponsored Affiliates (PSAs)

+ Not answering questions or ignoring the concerns of your PSAs

+ Not giving recognition of achievement to your PSAs

+ Giving up on your PSAs who do not get started immediately

+ Failing to 'Work With The Workers' and spending too much time 'Working FOR the NON-Workers'

+ Not helping them build their own team of affiliates

+ Becoming discouraged yourself because only a small percentage of people who join your team take any action

When you are building your team of affiliates avoid the above mistakes and you are sure to find some workers amongst the people who join you in the SFI business. When you find them work with them, support and recognise them as people who are looking for the same as you. An online income from their own business.

Hello Howard
Personally I would not blog about SFI. I would blog about something related to SFI such as 'working smart', 'residual income', or 'income through teamwork'.

Of course you should write about something you know and like. The key to a successful blog is traffic and followers. The successful bloggers of the world always write about something they have a passion for and then find people of like mind to read, follow and share their articles. This builds trust and trust is the first ingredient to good personal and business relationships.

When you have an audience that trusts you can have some SFI and Tripleclicks banners on your site that will attract your audience. Then you should have regular quality PSAs, ECAs and MRPs signing up through your gateway links. If you have too many new PSAs you can always put your Team Coop gateway link in your banners and links.

To use your blog to blatantly advertise SFI you might as well pay for your PSAs or pay for advertising on other people's blogs that already have an audience. It would save you time and as we are aware 'time is money'

I hope this helps
P.S. The word BLOG is short for 'Web Log' which was once upon a time a page you could visit on most sites that listed what had changed since your last visit.
