Hi, the answer is not simple.

My advice is to not waste to much of your time on affiliates that do nothing. Remember that you could be searching for more active affiliates instead of sending yet another message to the in-active one's.

Of course it is always good to chase up those that are not doing anything, but I would take some facts in to consideration before wasting too much time.

1: When was this affiliate last active?
2: How many VP has this affiliate averaging a month?
3: Has the affiliate answered any of your messages?
4: What do you know about the affiliates situation? i.e ( How much time do they have? Money? patience? keen to succeed?

Bring these and any other factors you may think of into the forefront of your mind. If you feel that you are chasing a lost cause, then move on and spend your time on more valuable tasks.

We are all responsible for managing our own time. It is always down to the individual!!

Hope that helps

Hi,

Sorry to say that I am not a fan of "Drop-Shipping."

I see it as an lazy and impersonal way of selling products.

With that said it can be a very profitable way to run your ECA. Basically you will have no overheads in your business.

I am assuming you have already picked your particular product lines and your drop-ship supplier.

First you need to order product samples for yourself, this gesture will go along way in the future, especially if you are dealing with complaints. Be sure of the product quality and that you are describing it in a favourable yet honest way.

Work out your terms with the suppliers and shippers, do your price calculations for your shipping costs to various countries.

Create your ECA store and start listing and advertising. Perhaps just list a few to start with to test the water.

If you wanted to go a step further then take a look at PLR (Private Label Rights) products. I don't just mean e-books and guides etc, I am talking about real products from kitchen utensils to mobile phone accessories. There are 1000's of items that can have your name on them and the box. The whole process can be outsourced and drop-shipped, leaving you with a healthy profit.

To your success!!

HI great question.

Now I have read some helpful answers already to this question but I have also read the poor ones. I think to sum up this subject in a few lines is impossible.

So to get into the Google rankings isn't going to be easy. There are plenty of affiliate SFI websites out there using relevant but highly competitive keywords. Try a search yourself with keywords such as "work from home, second income etc and then look through the page rankings for a SFI website.

You have to take many factors in to consideration these days. Google is constantly adding new algorithms which makes it difficult for webmasters to maintain their page rankings.

Niche subjects work! Perhaps create a more niche website on a related matter and include SFI in the website.

Content is key! You need to write original content that brings your audience back time and time again. Update your content regular, Google does like new content and often.

Build your back links naturally, never purchase them no matter what the sales pitch!!
Google will penalize you for back links obtained this way.

Advertise in other ways just like your gateways, through social media and traffic exchanges, classifieds etc. Never just rely on Google always use other methods of promotion.

Hope this is somewhat helpful

Hi,

SFI explains quite clearly under the marketing tab how to generate earnings through advertising your gateways.
I would follow the advanced methods available if you want to earn more quickly. Of course there are no guarantees that any of the methods will work for you, most of it depends on the kind of person you are and your level of commitment toward the business. Although I would be cautious if you lack experience in these fore mentioned methods, you could quickly overspend as still see no results.

Hope this helped!!

Nice question.

I believe there could be many contributing factors in answering this.

Lets say that you already have your own business website when you joined SFI, with a decent amount of traffic and newsletter subscribers and as long as it was relevant to the topic you could advertise SFI through the site.

There are many affiliates that join and could perhaps already be involved in other internet businesses of a similar nature, thus having a considerable amount of experience and the contacts already in place.

Some affiliates will invest large amounts of money early to start building their teams, they could be doing well in Pricebender Auctions by winning affiliates and through other ECA's purchasing affiliates.

What if you had been working in the advertising industry for 30 years? Then you joined SFI as part of your retirement plan. These type of people could have years of contacts and associates they could call upon to create mass duplication.

To sum up i would say that those that take their time and work hard everyday can do just as well as the fore mentioned.

I hope this helps.
