Some of the biggest mistake we should avoid when advertising are as follows:-

1. If you are advertising a product, emphasis should be made on the product you are selling and not on yourself or looks.

2. If you are advertising a product, be sure to proof read what you are sending out to people to avoid errors and alternatively having a backup plan.

3. If advertising a product, we must use marketing data to take multiple angles in the approach to product advertising. Different information should reach different types of buyers. Making a campaign general or bland enough to be used across the entire market isn’t effective, because people are skilled at ignoring or shutting out marketing messages that aren’t relevant to them.

4. If advertising different Tripleclicks products, we must have tracking codes on each advertisement to know which one works and the one which doesn't to help reduce cost of paying for advertisement that do not work. Or alternatively, you can check the hit tracker under power tools on SFI on a daily basis on or before sunday to actually know which of the advertising sites work better and is effective.

5. If we are advertising, we need to stick to a budget and never go over board. By this, reduction in paying for advertisement that do not work and channeling it to adverts that work and yield results. In order words, you need to get a return on your investment than spending lots of money with limited results.

6. With technology change over time, if we do any advertisement, we have to ensure the application is mobile friendly. Looking at the first world countries like USA, Canada, UK etc, most people are always on the move and can access so many businesses, information and proposals online without direct contact using a Desktop computer. Putting such into consideration, when advertising, we need to ensure adverts can be viewed on both a desktop and mobile device to cut across alot of people which could either be your PRMs, PSAs or both.

7. When we advertise, we should never make a promise without fulfilling it. for example, we can decide to give the first 10 customers that register a $10 gift card. If we promise based on what we advertise and do not deliver on promise made, we can loose our integrity and faith that people may have in us on our product.

8. If we decide to use Email marketing, we need to be careful on the frequency of the mails being sent to our prospects or people on our mailing list. if we send too much mails, it could be regarded as spamming. Spamming is an offence and should be avoided.

9. Avoid borrowed interest:- In this form of advertisment, we need to stick to what we are good at and what our business entails. If we do an advertisement contrary to what our business is, we end up loosing the cost for advertisement and mainteinance as such, that should be avoided.

10. When advertising, never you advertise once and forget thinking a miracle to happen. Adverts can be shown 3 - 4 times a day and in a week 28 times. The advert being run will give a lasting impression to prospects and a high tendency for more sign ups.

11. Avoid setting or running your advertisement but employ a professional for that. This at the long run will help reduce advertisement cost and effectiveness of your advertisement.

12. Pay no attention to your target audience:- Professional marketers and expert advertisers will tell you that in order for you to have a successful marketing campaign you have to identify first your prospects before you begin any kind of work in your campaign. Inorder words, first identify your target audience and work out a marketing campaign or ad that would suit your prospects.

13. Avoid showing ads to people who don’t convert:- When we advertise, its possible for someone to click once, this doesn’t mean they will become a customer. If your ads are getting lots of impressions and clicks, and if those people aren’t converting to leads, we will need to readjust and change our strategy to ensure such ads are coverting to leads. This in turn will reduce high cost of advertisement on ads that aren't effective.

14. Avoid using the same ads, over and over again:- You can’t tell people the same things twice without looking a little desperate. Change your messaging, and most importantly, give your potential customers new information to get them to click through.

These are some tips and I do hope it will be helpful in your advertisement

Good day Allison,

From my own experience, I would recommend you do both. Why? Because both PRMs and ECAs contributes immensely to the growth of your business.

For ECAs, you can start earning your income more quickly, than that of PRMs. In view of PRMs, money spent by the PRM buying products on TripleClicks, playing in the auctions, playing the EZgames etc. For every action that a PRM takes, commissions are earned by you as well as AVP for goods purchased on tripleclicks as the PRM is not an SFI affiliate. The extra AVP as well as MRP (courtesy of the All New Wave3) will assist you build your ranks and SFI business.

In recruiting ECAs, you will earn 100VP when your referred ECA makes its first $10 in sales, earn 10% onsales made by your ECA referrals. Not only that, you will receive special offers, deals, etc. from your ECA. Not to mention 55% (with the combination of Direct Commissions and ECA Royalties) of the CV on any sales generated.The good thing is that you are not directly involved with marketing the ECA products,but you get continious commissions. According to TripleClicks, the theme is "Spread the Word", so your marketing has no boundary.

In addition, the more sales that are earned from TC Sales, the more CV's will go towards the TC Executive Pool, which also means, more commissions for you, from both your ECAs and PRMs

From above, it can be seen as a win win situation with a higher commission as you are not only getting income from your PRMs, but also through your ECAs.

In summary, recruiting both, PRMs and ECAs, you would have several different flows of income coming in and building up a very successful business for yourself.

Don't just limit yourself to just one type of recruitment as the advantages are enormous and alot of free learning aids to help grow your business.

Hope I was able to help.

All the best.

Good day Kevin,

In my own opinion, communicating with ones PSAs/CSAs whether active or inactive is very key. For the inactive PSAs, we can re assisgn such affiliates to active PSAs that are from the same country. In that respect, its to wake up those affilates which could be due to Language Barrier or cultural differences.

Likewise, CSAs are no exception. With SFI innovations brought about the CSA exchange programme, as a sponsor you can trade your inactive CSA that are not from your country in exchange for CSAs in your country. This will help in waking up some of the inactive affiliates.

There have been testimonies on the benefits of the CSA exchange programme and I would sugguest that you trade your inactive affiliates both CSAs/PSAs and keep advertising to get affiliates.

You can send your inactive affilates a mail at least twice a week i.e on Sunday and Wednesday with tips and ideas as well as encouraging them. You can only throw in the towel once they have been removed by SFI or they opt out.

Remember, you work with the workers and keep encouraging the inactive ones till you reassign them, exchange them, they opt out or are removed by SFI.

Good day Nebojsa,

This is a nice question and i hope i would be of help.

When Marketing Tripleclicks/SFI product on TV, it enables you reach millions of viewers each day. Using this medium, you must use your TV spot to your advantage by showcasing how your product works and why people should purchase it.

To promote a TripleClicks product on TV, we must have in mind our target audience and channel you wish for your ads to run. For instance, the PrivacyMaxx product cuts across age group of 18 years old and above. Indeed, it would be foolish to run our ads on disney junior as the channel is for kids and minors. Response regarding the PrivacyMaxx product would be low and cost on running the ad on that station would be a waste. That is why we need to streamline our audience based on the product we are promoting and the station to be advertised.

Also, when we advertise on TV, we need to get straight to the point as there is a stipulated time frame for the advertisememt to run. During this period, you will explain what product you are offering (on TripleClicks e.g PrivacyMaxx) immediately when viewers see your ad, how it works and its benefits. At this point, we would focus on how this product is completely different from other similar products in the market (Unique Selling Proposition).

Depending on what your budget for advertising on TV is, constant running of the TV ad must be frequent to capture the viewer's attention, contact details or website available on the advert for prospects to call or place an order for the product.

This is how we can promote SFI/Tripleclicks products on TV as it entails proper planning and projections which would avoid waste of resources as it would be easier to know where most of responses are got, the time belt and frequency of the ads.

All the best.

Good day Mohammed,

You indeed have a nice budgèt and from my experience, what i do is to explore the countless and numerous opportunities that SFI has to offer to build a solid team.

Looking at this, there are actually 3 scenarios one can approach this question and I believe you would be able to choose the one that best fits you to grow your SFi business.

First scenario is to have a Standing Order of 10 single t credits at $1.89 which amounts to $18.90 combined with your daily, weekly and monthly tasks will make you an EA monthly. You would be left with $31.10. With that, you can buy a pack of 1 S-builder at $21 (if also as a Standing Order), you would be left with $10.10. Then buy 5 PSA 2 Go at $1.89 for a PSA which would amount to $9.45 and you would have a balance of 65 cents.

Second scenario is to have a Standing Order of both t credits and Sbuilder co op ie 100 t credits at $29 which gives you 1200 versa points, $21 for s builder co op with 248 ve?sa points. This amounts to $50 that means you exhausts $50 with $0 balance. Combined with your Daily, Weekly and Monthly makes you an EA.

The third scenario is the purchase 125 t credits at $36.25 which gives you 1500 versa points and automatically makes you an EA. The balance $13.75 can be used to purchase 7 PSA to go at $1.89 each which gives $13.23 and a balance of 52 cents. Combined with your daily, weekly and monthly tasks would make you a team leader if PSA recruited become fast track members and make EA and above.

Considering the 1 hour you have daily for your SFI business I ensure that:-
1. I do my Daily, Weekly and Monthly tasks as little drops make mighty ocean. It will help in building our ranks.
2. Having a Standing Order minimum of 1500 versa points plus a bonus of 100 versa points.
3. Recruiting affiliates either by word of mouth, advertising through paid and free sites or via sharing it posts on facebook, twitter as well as pincreast.
4. Bidding at the auctions with the t credits purchased.(minimum of 500 vp monthly).
5. Play Eager Zebra Games (minimum of 200 vp monthly).
6. List unwanted items in the home (minimum of 50 vp monthly).
7. Encourage my downlines to have a standing order, advertise their affiliates link, assign PSAs to them as well as send them list of sites to advertise their link.
8. Encourage them to become EAs and above to help you acheive your goal and attain matching versa point.
9. With your wealth of knowledge and experience,you can give answers to questions that would be of help to affiliates globally.
10. Read SFI news, important information and updates to disseminate information with your team members.
11. Organise team contest to motivate affiliates in your team to make them successful.
12. Go to forums, share and get ideas to send to your team memebers.
13. Get your active affiliates to duplicate your actions.

If the above actions are applied to your team, the sky indeed would be the limit for you.

All the best.

Good day Augustine,

The best way to appreciate and motive active affiliates in your team is to:-
1. Assist them with a gift certificate
2. Add them in your team co op to build a team of their own.
3. Transfer affiliates of the same country to active affiliates in your team.
4. Transfer of T credits to your active affiliates (minimum of 10 t credits and a one time action).
5. Give them sites where they can post and advertise their affiliate links.
6. Organising team contest where the active and successful candidates are being awarded with PSAs, gift certificates and t credits as this is a way of motivating and encouraging every affiliate in the team.

Good day Epifani,

Being a good sponsor, regardless of whether your PSA recruited is rising in ranks, you definitely need to continue to train and support them.

The reason why is to let them know that

1. You are always there for them (if you abandon them, possibility that they might loose focus)
2. No knowledge is lost as he or she will still apply such knowledge to his or her team.

Hope it helps

Warm regards

Good day Janet,

This is a very nice question and i do hope based on my experience, I would be able to assist you in strengthening your team.

As a team leader, we lead by example. Like I have a Standing Order which is t credits that I get 1500 versa points. I let them know that with a minimum of 1500 versa points Standing Order, (being an EA) that they will get 100 versa points as bonus. The badge is usually displayed on your leadership page.With that, they will believe you.

Highlighting the benefits of being an EA monthly would help as well. As Sponsors, we need to let them know that they can only earn on a monthly basis whenever people make purchases through their affiliate referral link or when they are an EA. Just being affiliate, they get nothing after the hardwork they would have put within the month by just doing their daily tasks.

There is the saying that little drop makes a mighty ocean and with a limited budget of $18.90, they can maintain their EA rank on a monthly basis by combining both The daily, Weekly and Monthly actions (AVP+SVP)=1500. That is to say that they can make a monthly standing order of 10 single t credits at $1.89 per t credit combined with daily tasks+weekly tasks+monthly tasks+SVP=1500 I.e 360+152+12+1020=1544 which makes them EA.

Being EA monthly, they benefit as SFI will give them 2 CSAs and an additional 10 t credits ( worth $5.90 monthly being an EA).

Another way of encouraging your team members is by guiding them on how to play EZebra games especially Card King. Let them know the importance of sidekicks and how each 1 t credit spent equates to 1AVP. With the action vp, helps to build their ranks. Winning is what motivates and if they see your badge, they would have the belief that they can do it.

Another way of encoraging them is to have a team contest where winners of such contest are rewarded with a gift certificate or t credits given to hard working affiliates that have attained or reached certain milestone in the team.

Remember as the saying goes, seeing is believing. As good sponsors, we need to encourage and motivate them and with that, they can also duplicate your actions. Work with the workers, encourage and motivate them and you will get nothing but the best.

I am really happy with my approach and it has worked well with me.

Hope I was able to help you.

All the best.

Good day Mariama,

Nice question and here is the best way of communicating with PSA from other countries whose Primary Language is not English Language.

What i do is that i open Google translator, copy the message that i have typed in English and click on the Primary Language of my PSAs then send. If there is a reply, i would copy the message and put on the Google translator to get the response in English and reply in the PSA primary language.

Hope explanation above would be of help.

Good day Elizabeta,

This indeed is a very nice question and interesting for most new affiliates and my response would be based on my experience.

Advertising can come in various form which could be:-
1. Online Advertising:- This involves posting ads on websites that receive heavy traffic which is one way to get the word out about your business. Also, social networking sites such as Facebook or MySpace have advertising programs with ads tailored to a particular demographic. These ads show up only next to profiles that meet the specifications of your product's target market. You can also use the Google AdWords service to post online ads.

2. Newspaper Ads:- Newspaper ad is a traditional method of advertising. Advertising daily or weekly in the newspaper allows you to target specific geographic neighborhoods. Attaching an incentive, such as a Tripleclicks Gift Card, to the ad can help track the ad's effectiveness as well as Purchasing an ad in a section relevant to your business in the Newspaper.

3. Television Advertising:- Television ads on local stations might require time and effort to produce good results, especially if you sell a product or service with a high price point. From experience, TV ads cost more than radio but there is also a tendency that there are more people who watch television than listening to radio so in my opinion, use the tv ad to attract more sign ups.

4. Public Speaking:- In this form of advertisement, if the product you sell relates to your own expertise, public speaking can be a great advertisement. In this case, you will offer your services to organizations that could benefit from one of your workshops or lectures. At this point, you bring your SFI business cards and promotional materials to the event to encourage your audience to spread the word about your services.

5. Door Hangers and Flyers:- Canvassing the neighborhood, placing flyers in mailboxes or hanging ads on doorknobs, is a good way to target a specific area and to make sure your potential customers have seen your information. Even if most homeowners will discard the information, gaining a handful of clients may be enough for a positive return on the marketing campaign investment.

6. Event Sponsorship:- Advertising your product or service through event sponsorship can take many forms. You might receive an acknowledgement in the event program, have an on-site location where you can give out sample product, or your company logo might appear on the event posters. One option for events that require a hand-stamp for entry is to provide the venue with a stamp that bears your company logo; the attendees will then have your logo close by for a day or two afterwards.

7. Radio Advertising:- A catchy jingle and quick tag line can enhance a radio ad's effectiveness. Matching the station you choose with your target demographic is key. If you want to reach adults aged 35 to 64, an adult contemporary station is a good bet. An alternative or urban station is good to reach youth aged 18 to 24. Having this in mind, its alot easier to advertise a product that woud suit each age group

8. Word-of-Mouth Advertising:- This method to me is the best and cheapest of them all. This involves you talking about SFI to family, friends and prospects or alternatively hiring people to talk about SFI products or service in a public place in a way that other people overhear them get interested and sign up.

In my opinion, word of mouth is the cheapest and still the best form of advertisement as you speak with your existing and prospective customers one on one, you are able to build trust and persuade them to sign up.Not only that, you also get the highest quality sign ups.

Hope I was able to help.
