Recruiting good affiliates is the most important element in growing your Business.

Good affiliates are those who are serious about building their business and are self motivated. These affiliates are gems and require proper Guidance at all times.

Normally when we advertise in various places most people get attracted by the earning potential. They join the business and after going through the work requirements required to grow the business they feel let down.This is the time when they need the support of their sponsors in helping them get started. Some of them grasp the business and become active and grow.

The good places to find good affiliates are :

You can get good Affiliates by running Pay per Click ad campaigns.Google is the best source for running these campaigns. However one has to be well experienced to run the ad campaigns and if any mistake is done you could lose lot of money without getting results. Low competition and long tail keywords should be used to get good results. Also split testing with different ads is very important.

Next best place to find good affiliates is the Affiliate Communities where you can target the right people as they are already interested in online business opportunities. Some of the good communities are Warrior Forum, IBO, Apsense etc. You shouldn’t be promoting your products / affiliate solution aggressively. You must try to make friends and understand whether what you are offering is similar to what they are looking for

The advantages of this recruitment method include:

increased exposure to the affiliate community
minimum costs involved
knowing exactly what their issues are, in order to make your offer appealing to them
Disadvantages:

can involve large amounts of time spent on forums, discussion boards etc.
may not permit explicit advertising

A more advanced technique is to find affiliates directly

Well, there are several methods; here are the ones I’ve tried:

do a keyword search for your competitors’ products and see what websites sell those products;
do a generic search (e.g. “download buy software”), including some long tails, for certain keywords: “buy”, “software”, “purchase”, etc;
do a keyword search for your product – see what websites have good rankings on the defining keywords for your software application and try to convince them to become your affiliates, even if they don’t sell as affiliates.
Use the contact options on their websites and send them an e-mail presenting the partnership opportunity. You should keep it simple, specifying what your product differentiates itself from the competition’s. The e-mail is the preferred contact option for affiliates, but it’s best to always leave your contact details (phone, IM) because some may want to contact you using these methods.

Remember to use a friendly and personal approach – people are more likely to respond to this tone. They are in the best position to weigh their advantages and they know you really are interested in getting more exposure and revenue through them; just make sure that your message outlines the win-win benefits.

Hope this helps.

wishing you lots of Success.

Advertising the business is very essential to grow.

There are basically two types Free advertisement and Paid Advertisement.

Paid Advertising would consist of

1. Paid per Click (very specialized, unless you are experienced not recommended)

2. Buy hits to your affiliate link. (results vary. Some programs give better results for a particular product)

3. Buy advertisement on high traffic forums and blogs.

4. Use the specialized services like Ad-minder, Planet Traffic etc.

Free Advertising resources are Traffic Exchanges, Safelists, Classified ads and Social Networks. The conversion is quite low from Free sites as most people are busy promoting their program in these sites.

Some of the best and creative methods are :

1. Twitter: You may already know that an average person reads around 200 tweets a day. If you can tweet regularly or re-post with a time gap like 8 am, 12 pm, 4pm, 8 pm etc. Make sure your tweets are specific, they must have strong call to action words.

2. Groupon : You can advertise on here as many will not be using it. Offer coupons like Gift card to Prospects. It may take about 2 weeks to get an approval and listing on this site.

3.Blog Marketing : you can write a guest blog that offers an alternative viewpoint on a common issue and get it published on a popular website.Make sure that your post includes a link back to your site

4. Ebay : List a report on specific topic for Eg: "how to create adwords campaign for cents". Offer this report for low cost maybe 99 cents. Create a Featured Plus auction for this product.which means it is displayed at the top of the auction listings before the non-Featured auctions (regular auctions). You will also want the auction to be a Dutch auction, which means you can sell multiple items from the same auction. A Featured Plus auction will cost around $20.00 to post, along with about $5 – $6 of miscellaneous posting fees including the Dutch auction fee.

5. Squidoo : This is once again a very good advertising program and you need to find good keywords and can receive a huge traffic to your lens.

Remember any advertisement is not bad. The more pair of eyes that see your advertisement will result in more sign ups.

The actions should start with regular Daily Actions - these are designed to help you understand the various aspects of SFI business.

The next step is promotion and Team building, promotion should be two pronged SFI and TripleClicks as they are complimentary to each other and will attract a larger number of prospects.

You can try the following Offline marketing Tools

1. Print Flyers (with the Pull off Tabs they are very good). You can add them in the local newspaper by taking the help of the delivery boy of these newspapers so that they are door delivered . You can also distribute the Flyers in your Club, Apartment community center, gym etc. I have come across some people who assign this task as part time to students and they distribute the Flyers at shopping malls, Bus and rail terminus and such places where the number people are huge.

2. You can mail the X-cards to your friends, family, acquaintances and clients. You can also leave the cards at few places like bus terminals, Restaurants, movie halls etc or take help of the staff there to distribute the cards.

3. You can run classified ads in your local area newspapers. You can also advertise in Free-ad newspapers mainly covering employment opportunities in your town or city.

4. You can look out for garage sales/yard sales/clearance sales and meet the organisers of these sales to help them list their products for Free on TripleClicks. This way you introduce them to the business. In most cases they later on become your PSA and also you can earn if they participate actively in auctions.

5. The TripleClicks Gift Cards are also a great way to get your name out there and find interested people who will join TripleClicks for participation in Auctions or buying products.

6. If you have the budget you can also arrange for a podcast or TV advertising through the local channels available in your town or city.

Hope this helps.

Receiving non active re-assigned affiliates (PSAs) might appear to be of no use at first glance.

There are so many instances where inactive members suddenly become active and go on to become Leaders.(the bulb suddenly flashes in their head that SFI is the REAL BUSINESS)

You must regularly send a Team mail explaining the benefits and simple strategies to grow the Business every few days to all your downline even if they are inactive because you never know which mail will change the mind of an inactive affiliate and he/she starts seeing the Big Picture. From that point it is only a matter of Time before they go to build a big Team and become successful, You will feel very HAPPY for having received them from your UPLINE. Do not expect this from too many inactive members.

There is one more advantage. When you are sending regular Team mail some inactive member after reading your mail may point out some mistakes or doubts to you and try to justify their being inactive. You must try to understand their point of view and see if there really is something that can be done this may convert them into active members and also help you understand better which will help you in growing your business.

You can always try new methods in mails that you send to inactive as it really does not matter.


The strength of your Genealogy increases if nothing else.

Your inactive member may find you more helpful than your upline and may become active.

Hope this helps.

See You at the TOP.

First thing you need to do is identify the reason why the particular affiliate wants to Quit. The following could be the reasons.

1. Your affiliate joined the business thinking they could earn big income quick and hence they are disappointed with the business. Ask them to go through the Launchpad and if they are not convinced let them go, they will always be a burden even if they stay.

2. Your affiliate is not able to grasp the business or lacks experience in building their Team. Your duty is to help them understand the business ask them questions make them ask you questions too. This will help you understand the area of problem they are facing. You can teach them about the Free advertising resources and stress the need for consistent and persistent efforts to get results.Also you may need to this for their affiliates if they are not experienced and hence are unable to guide their affiliates.

3. Your affiliate understands the business but does not have a budget for maintaining EA status and advertising. You must help them earn some income by promoting TripleClicks products, Auctions and ECA opportunities using free advertising resources like Traffic Exchanges, Safelists, Classified ads, forums etc. Consistent and persistent efforts are required.

4. Your affiliate joined as they were attracted by auctions and now find that they are unable to win any items hence want to Quit. Explain the need to learn how to approach the auction bidding for eg :

a. Never be emotional while bidding as you tend to make lot of mistakes.

b. Always have a bidding budget before starting to bid.

c. It is always advisable to watch an auction for a while before bidding which helps in knowing the participants and how many of them are determined to win based on this decision on whether to enter or wait can be made.


5. Your affiliate is not able to devote time for growing their business. In this case you can guide them to use various tools like co-op advertising, S-builder, standing Order, buying CSA's etc to grow their business without investing more time.

It is very essential that the line of communication with your affiliates should be open and frequent interaction takes place. This will show that they are serious about the business and need your full support.

Hope this helps.

The activities for SFI affiliates are many and the results also vary from one person to another. However there are some activities that are overrated and some are underrated in general.

The most overrated activities of SFI affiliates are in my opinion :

1. PB Auction - This activity is no doubt a winner if one is able to learn the art of bidding. But generally people become emotional while bidding or they are afraid when they see power bidders. Hence get confused and make mistakes.In my opinion this is the most overrated activity.

2. Voting on ASK SC - I feel the voting is quite haphazard and find some advice ridiculous for example you are advised not use ALL CAPS even though you have not done it.

The most underrated activities of SFI affiliates are in my opinion:

1. Promoting ECA Program. Many affiliates are not well aware of this and are not really understanding the power of it,Hence not concentrating on promoting it.

2. Promoting TripleClicks products of other ECA's : By promoting products of other ECA's it is easily possible to earn some good income monthly. Most people do not understand how to do it, you have to click the product you want to promote and in the details section you will find the link that will help you earn by promoting that product.

The marketing tools provided by SFI are excellent and cover most of the requirements. However the advanced marketing tools have to be developed by the affiliate. Some of these tools are:

1. Autoresponder - Many people feel that it is not very important but in my opinion every Internet Marketer must have this tool as statistics have proved that an average person needs to see an opportunity repeatedly before they decide to join hence when they first see your opportunity if you can get them to share their name and email address with you, you can follow up with them and explain to them the various aspects of the business through email. If they have any doubts then they can revert back to you through the email. This will make a big difference to the business by helping increase the signups.

2.Squeeze Page - This is part of your autoresponder system. You can create a squeeze page that creates interest in the mind of your prospect but does not give away the details, in order to get the details they need to share their name and email address through the autoresponder code embedded on this page.

3.Twitter automation tools - Twitter is a great platform to promote your business. But it is very difficult to maually follow, un-follow, search for the right people who are interested, tweet on a schedule, retweet etc. Hence you can make use of the many twitter automation tools available.

4.Skype Marketing - This is a fast growing marketing tool which has many advantages like free calls skype to skype, instant messenger, you can also create your own group and have great interaction with the group members. The group also is a common platform for learning and helps all the group members to learn from each other.
