Branding with a proprietary domain name and having multiple website exposure is good advice for any business. As an SFI member, having your Own Website is a Business Expansion. It’s not necessary, but it IS BENEFICIAL.
Think of your business a piece of real estate. With multiple locations (websites), you create additional opportunities for your potential customers to complete sales transactions. Plus - if you “Own” it – you control it.
Here are some creative benefits:
Using the marketing materials SFI has readily available in conjunction with your own “Persuasive Flair” personalizes the pre-buying experience for your customers.
On your own website you can Pre-Sell the splash page. (the sign-up pages/gateways)
The sales pitch is basic:
“Here’s what it is…..”
“Here’s what it will do for you….”
“Here’s what I want you to do next…” (hence, sign-up from a gateway page!)
You can add your personal experiences, tips, testimonials, additional graphics, “how-to” videos, screen shots, etc. on your “pre-selling” pages of your website, to engage your potential customers and build customer confidence.
Here are some basic business building benefits:
Building a Leads List! A leads list attached to an auto-responder gives you an audience that has opted-in to receive communications from you. The added benefit here, is that you can monetize your list in the simplest way. For instance, if you use an auto-responder service that offers commissions for referrals – you can use that income to Finance your Advertising Budget for New SFI Affiliates! (The possibilities of indirect income increases 100%)
You can give away a FREE OFFER prior to purchase to increase your credibility and encourage potential customers to Want To Be On Your Team! Examples might be: “Sign up today for a Free Report on the 10 Biggest Tips to Success…” - the end result is still to get the SFI sign-up! But you are adding value.
Promote your business directly, SFI indirectly – with All of the Products you have to offer – showing the benefits of All of the SFI products in one place --- and You as an Expert!
Example: “Go to www.mysite.com to learn about 5 Money making businesses without any start up cost” – Then elaborate on the 5 ways to make an income at SFI.
Reduce overall advertising cost. Advertise www.mysite.com “Your One Stop Resource for multiple Income Opportunities”.
Here’s how you can get started FREE
Use the free website services. (google free website) There are many companies that you can get a free website. You won’t have as much flexibility But your “Real Estate” is free.
Use Social Media Sites. (you should be doing this already). Facebook pages, LinkedIn, Google Plus, WordPress blogs, etc. You can build a profile and add links to any of these sites for free. There are thousands of places like this on the internet.
Here’s how to Buy a Website. YOU WILL NEED TO SHOP AROUND!
You will first need to choose a website Name and register it. It’s referred to as “register a domain name” That is how you secure Your personal website name.
You will then need to purchase a service to Host Your website. You will see multiple price ranges for this…from $5/a month and much much higher.
You will then need to have software and a platform to Build the site.
There is no perfect formula for this. Every company has different packages & PRICES so you need to research before you choose & buy! I can’t stress this enough!
**SFI OFFERS WEBSITES that have these details already done for you.
For your Quickest Option…you could select their product and be up and running Fast!
It is obvious that with your own website, you expand your business’ presence on a limitless level and distinguish yourself. You should determine your objectives, consider your budget, preplan your content, get the mechanics in place, & commit to the sites maintenance. You don’t want to spend a bunch of money & be unsatisfied with your investment of time and money because you neglected to research and plan. And – you want to use the site as a companion to the SFI site referring to the SFI content – which is amazingly thorough!
Using my “Pitch” format from above, make solid goals for your website:
“Here’s what I want my website to be…”
“Here’s what I want it to do for me…”
“Here’s what I need to do next…”
Best of success to you and your team member. The fact that they are seeking business expansion is a great indicator that they have long term goals and are a forward thinker!

Rather than thinking in terms of "Financial Support" for your down-line.
I would suggest you consider, "Value Support".

By that I mean: What Value can you offer your team that is beneficial to their performance & results?

For instance,

if you offer them free TClicks: the value in that Support is
* additional opportunities for them to win an auction.
* additional MRP that they can use to purchase products.
* additional "chances" in pick the price contest.
* ability to market the splash page that gives a free TCredit to new TripleClick members

if you offer them a Gift Certificate: the value in that Support is
* spending power to do all the same as giving TClicks
* additional spending power to purchase products
* the ability to purchase a minimal standing order

if you offer to transfer affiliates to their down-line: the value in that Support is
* ability to step into the role of a Leader
* ability to put what they learn into practice & duplicate your efforts
* ability to make commissions thru their affiliates & get AE's, etc.

if you offer to put them in your own co-op: the value in that Support is
* ability to gain new recruits
* possibly teach them how to place ads
* exchange ideas on ad copy or placements of ads

The List Goes on & on, and I am sure you are creative enough & have picked up several Tips that you might have Under-Valued. Yet, when we are New, we are just that - NEW. Unless someone gives us their Valuable Tips - all we can think about is "If only I had enough Money to Buy my way in..."

I don't think that it's practical to think money without knowledge is the Cure All in this business model.

There is no responsibility on your part or any other Sponsor at SFI to financially support our team.

Our obligation & motive is to Support our Teams in a much more Valuable way - giving freely of the Benefit of Our Knowledge.
Then we know we have done what we can - for our Team - and for ourselves.

Your question suggests that you are referring to a "hard-working" psa/csa. That's the biggest hurdle I have with my down-line...Getting Them To Work Hard!!! :)

You already have the Best Quality of an affiliate there is - HARD WORKING - it's key!

So, Invest whatever & however it works for YOUR Budget, but moreover Sale the Value of your position with your Team. Share the Value of the Tasks their performing. Share the Value of the Ground Work they are laying. Share the Value of the FREE TOOLS in place SFI.

Soon you will see your Team realizing their Own Value! And everyone's business will grow at a more rapid pace.

I truly appreciate your genuine sensitivity to your Team members frustrations. This ALSO Shows how Valuable you ARE Already!!

Go Team!!

My best response to affiliates that say, "...their sponsor is non-responsive" - is:
Do Not Follow Their Example!

The accountability of your business rests soley on your efforts.
Do Not mourn the lack of leadership of One Person assigned to you, that is disappointing - It holds you back!

They don't make your income....Your Downline does....That is your customer!...That is your Focus!

Find Leaders that you respect:
-Look at the Leaderboards
-Read the profiles of Leaders
-Observe their recommendations
-Be active in A2A relationships so you read their stream posts.
-Read the Forum posts, search for specific information as needed...and post questions as needed.
-Go To the SFI Site Index --- Recognize the Massive FREE Information just waiting for you to absorb!
-Follow up on the Most Votes authors in Ask SC - who are they....
-Look at your Upline/Co-Sponsor etc. - Read their Leadership pages, blog, contests, recommendations, etc.
-Ask questions / Read / Lead / Use the inhouse mailing platform.
-Look at youtube for leadership examples, google websites, view blogs, etc. Quality Examples are Everywhere!
-Use support at SFI - they are vested employees who's job is to offer Support. - They're not just other sales people!!! (huge benefit of being w/an established company.)
-Recognize the generosity of Leadership in SFI's founder Gery Carson. --- There's Your Example To Follow! --- You want to be Rich? Build an empire of customers selling & duplicating For You!

SFI is intuitive & experienced.
They've even assigned you a secondary example in a Co-Sponsor.
They may or may not be a resource.
If your co-sponsor also does not offer assistance - then they are not the leadership example you need either...

Your True Focus needs to be on Your Own Leadership Skills!
You need to respect that anyone in your downline is your customer.
You need to take the initiative to self-educate so You are a Respected Leader.
You need to offer contests, share TCredits, have a co-op, send TeamMail, Post to the Stream, Keep your leadership page Fresh, make recommendations, share Your Wins, & communicate in a timely manner.

The Only Accountability that You Can Control is Your Own!
Be the Leader That You Respect!
Focus on Your Customers!
And appreciate the concept of a

TEAM: Together Each Accomplishes More

To Our Success!

There are many benefits to developing these relationships. Some examples include:

And, many more. It is worthy to note that you are not only "team building" at SFI, but also building your business. Partnerships come in many forms. Sometimes just seeing another's way of approaching a common goal can make all the difference in your success.

Take the time to meet the others within SFI. Communicate - even though there isn't a team-build commission attached to it; your A2A friends might have the best products to promote at TripleClicks.

Your A2A friends might be your future mentor, or best customer.

And finally, we can never have too many friends! Collectively, we are all in this together.

Now go meet some New Friends :)
