I have a large downline, but few are advertising SFI. How can I get them to start advertising and marketing SFI?

With all my signups, I make one general assumption: I assume that whoever is joining SFI under me is a newbie and has little to no idea about business and internet marketing.

With this in mind, I take it as my responsibility as their sponsor to introduce and educate them on the pros and cons of marketing and advertising right from the most basics to more advanced ways to enable them become savvy marketers. Over the course of the training, they will come to realise themselves the importance

Maintaining your EA status on a shoe string budget shouldn't be a problem. Simply create a Standing Order for a pack of 100 Tcredits at $22. This action earns you 1200 VPs. A greater part of the points required will have being gotten.

Then you can do either of 2 things.

1 If you are the type who visits your homepage daily, various combinations of actions can yield you the remaining 300 points required.

2 Or you can simply use your Purchased Tcredits to purchase other

Hello,

All the SFI banners contained in the marketing aids section are great and make good impressions.

However, to choose the best one for your site or blog, you need to do some little work and know some 'facts' about your site and about it's visitors.

By this, I mean: What category of people constitute the major percentage of visitors to your site?

Old people?
Stay at home moms?
Employed people looking for a way out?
Newbies?

Etc.

Anyone starting out in a business should understand that there is a learning curve: a process and various stages.

Though there are occasional cases of striking it big on the first try, essentially, any business that is been worked properly builds up momentum gradually and in a matter of time: it's spilling out profits like crazy.

SFI's compensation is very powerful. Let your affiliates know that first. Secondly, make sure they really understand the actions that really determine

There are various ways of advertising online. Some free, some paid. Some yield returns immediately, others take some tweaking and re-tweaking.

Personally, I rate any advertising media based on 3 major criteria.

* How much it costs
* How much time it takes to yield results
* The QUALITY of the results.

Bar none, my favourite medium of advertising is Newsletter Marketing or Solo Advertising as popularly known.

Solo Advertising basically means paying

Patience, careful planning, sustained efforts, consistency and commitment have never been among my strong suits.

Not long ago, I always wanted fast money and instant results. In my opinion then, anything that was not spilling out cash immediately wasn't worth looking at.

My commitment to a program then was no more than a few days to weeks after which I abandoned it and searched for the next 'goldmine'.

Consequently, I was going no where in my bid to achieve true financial

Essentially, there's no limit to how much one can spend on advertising. Advertising is the lifeblood of any business and the more you can advertise, the more your profit potential.

However though, how much you should spend on advertising your business depends entirely on you and what you think works for you.

Personally, when I joined SFI, I re-invested almost a 100% of my initial incomes back into the business and till this day, I still re-invest a major part of my income back

Without thinking twice, I rate myself 5 out of 5!

I don't mean to toot my horn but this is the truth and my organisation will agree with me as evident from my monthly sponsor ratings.

Why do I and my organisation rate myself so? Its simply because I go the extra mile: I go out of my way even if it entails looking out of the box to make sure my PSA's and CSA's have every thing they need to succeed online:

Here are some things I do:
