Duplication goes hand in hand with the level of relationship within your team. Have you build trust within your team? One of the most important parts of duplication is the strong and solid foundation within a team. If you as Team Leader has close relationship with your sponsor, co-sponsor or uplines, you’ll most likely to pass on what you have learned from them.

Unfortunately, it is a common occurrence in SFI that new affiliates upon joining will receive a welcome message from their sponsor/co-sponsor once or none at all and will never hear from them again. It doesn’t have to be this way.

What can you do as a Team Leader to bring into action the process of duplication?

- Lead by example. Are you logging in daily and performing your To-Do List? Your EA Streak and Daily VersaPoints Streak will be seen by your team and newly sponsored affiliates.

- Are you consistently communicating with your downlines, sending encouragement and support messages? Find out their feedback from your Scoreboard by reading the monthly Sponsor/Co-Sponsor Rating. What kind of signal are you sending to them? Be sensitive to their needs.

- Are you visible or very much active in SFI Forum and Ask SC? This will create your brand name and you’re also helping in making SFI a well rounded and highly recommended online home-based business opportunity through your contributions.

- Are you consistently updating your knowledge base, so that you can offer and share your know how to help them, especially in building their teams?

This is your assurance:

Apply those principles and steps above. Show them as a Team Leader that you have a high willingness to learn and to change and do whatever it takes to succeed in SFI

Many forms of advertising over the Internet have been created over time and mixed results can be drawn from them. There are some great differences between the advertising done in blog and other forms of text link based marketing tactics such as Text Ads, E-mail, Text banner, Article submissions, etc.

Whether you’re using Text Ads, E-mail marketing and so on and providing links about you’re offer – the SFI business opportunity – in your ads, what link is preferable between your blog and your SFI Gateway? The following points will help you see clearly why you need to link your webpage/blog to your ads and the best approach:

- Blogs are one of the most popular and effective outlet for advertising, as it allows for a more detailed description about what you’re offering to your prospects.

- By focusing on the quality content of your blog, you’re going to rake high traffic to your blog site.

- Blog marketing is a simple way to create interest in your SFI business. It uses the power of social networking as blogs are thought of as journals or a diary, except published for everyone to see. It is best to stray from advertising on a blog, as it may drive away potential prospects.

- One of the best benefits of blog marketing is that you can release little bits of information about an upcoming product, service and more innovative ways of earning an income online and having fun at the same time, allowing suspense and hype to build up in your reader’s minds.

- As you inform your readers/prospects about your SFI business to supplement their income you’re offering one of the best solutions for their retirement issues, they will take a positive look on your SFI business and become more likely to join you. This is where your SFI Gateway link will become useful. You can add a “Call to Action like Sign up today” link to your SFI Gateway. Letting your readers/prospects know what you can do for them, instead of asking them what they can do for your SFI business is always viewed nicer in their eyes.

- The benefits of blog marketing are wide and long lasting. A blog is an excellent outlet for ideas and progress. Keeping readers/prospects updated on those progressive thoughts keeps them reading update after update. In time, people spread the word about your SFI opportunity as more people subscribe to your blog, serving as free advertising.

So take time to create an insightful blog about your SFI business and keep updates on your progress on solving other people’s needs with your offer of earning a second income. It will sound less like an ad and allows for more people to view the blog and keep it in thought longer than an annoying textual ad on a web page that is cluttered with ads.

Allowing your prospects to see your SFI business as an entity with real life concepts and everyday happenings such as normal people instead of an annoying textual link ad will keep them hooked longer and provide some real results.

One of the main advantages of using link cloaking software is to help you convert long and ugly affiliate links into short and elegant ones for aesthetic and SEO purposes. It makes use of redirects to hide affiliate links in order to increase conversion rates.

If you want to hide your affiliate links from your prospects and avoid Page Rank leakage and at the same time be able to use your cloaked affiliate links in social media sites, then use link cloaker software.

When you cloak your affiliate links, you have the option of either giving up all control over your links to a third party link shrinking service or roll out your own php script/apache directives through link cloaking software.

Here are the most common known drawbacks of using link cloaking software:

- Rolling out your own redirection software will require considerable amount of time (even if you have the technical know how to do this). It can be difficult to manage and is usually very difficult to track.

- Generally cloaking means you’re hiding your links form from Google search bots and also from the spam filters. Google disapproves this, because it’s misleading.

- When using Email marketing, cloaking your links is considered to be fraud related and should be avoided where possible to get your emails in your prospect’s inbox. It only makes sense emails with links to your website/blog.

- When your prospects visit the pages of your website through cloaked link, they may not be able to get back to the individual pages they like, because when they bookmark a page each time, they’re always saving your main domain address (your site main page) in their “favorites.” What will happen is that, after a certain time that your prospects would like to get back to the content of your website to review and would not be able to find it or remember why they bookmark, because the content they’re looking for is not found in the main page of your site, but on the other pages.
