What kind of ads are there in SFI marketing sections already best suited for us?

(1) Banners in various sizes and purposes
(2) Text ads in simple and powerful words
(3) Splash landing page designs used in our SFI gateway links etc.

In addition, there are so many key words suggestions in ASK SC and Forum sections for text ads which can be modified by your own imagination and communication skills.

Where do you use the above to get the most effective results?

(A) Internet blog or cafe in local language and/or in English as well
(B) Facebook or Twitter - our profile section with relevant size of SFI banner
(C) In traffic exchange sites (manual and auto)
(D) In free credit based email marketing on safelist sites
(E) PTC sites with cheaper ads costs etc.

Actually I have done nearly everything of the above during the past 5 monthS since I joined SFI, in addition to the purchases of PSAs from TripleClicks, it's like a lottery to find some good active results. However, my best results of active members up to now came from my local language blog visitors, for whom I just provided with banners and relevant honest information about SFI in a form of some simple clear articles, quite driven by the original wordings given to me by SFI.

Still I am trying to find out which one will be best suited for me in terms of my time, energy and cost. It's going to be a never ending interesting & challenging game, I think!

I hope this would help you.

With thanks and best regards,

I have set up 125 TCredits as SO which I think is the most cost-effective and simple way to save my time and energy to go to the success in SFI. How to utilize purchased TCredits?

Costs involve your time, energy and money. Depending on your own personal gravitiy among them, you feel whether overall effectiveness is made or not. And then the concept of success, what is your own yardstick of success with SFI? All may differ from each affiliate!

In my case, since I joined SFI, I set up my goals of six months as follow to minimize my time, energy and money for the next 3 years as early as possible:

(1) Become and maintain BTL(Bronze Team Leader) every month. To do this, I had to advertise my SFI gateway links and duplicate my passion and knowledge to secure minimum 3 PSAs who are active on their own feet. Sometimes, of course, I invested my money into buying PSAs from TripleClicks.

(2) Personally I recommend you to purchase TCredits 125 Pak as the Standing Order to get 1,500 Sales VPs, and then reinvest these TCredits into DP(Double MRP) Auctions for PSAs and TCredits. In this way you will get 1 Action VP and 10 MRPs per bid in addition to chances of winning the auctions. Then repurchase the product "TCredit 1" with the accumulated MRPs of 126, then you will get 102 Sales VPs per purchase of "TCredit 1". So it's quite easy to fulfill 2,000 Sales VPs every month to maintain BTL, through which you will get free 12 TCredits and 40~60 CSAs every month for free.

In the above ways, you can achieve your break-even point of monthly income vs. investment of $36.25 SO for TCredits 125 Pak hopefully in six months or earlier, and after that it would be easy for you because time would work for you as well in addition to your peace of mind.

In my case, I made a separate twitter account just purely for the purpose of SFI business. And building my profile, firstly I used the smallest size of SFI banner rather than my own photo (http://static.sfimg.com/SFIBanners/banner449.png).

And then, introducing myself, I used some simple modified version of SFI text ads in the "Marketing Aids" in "Marketing" section in the main menu bar, ending my SFI gateway and my SFI blog links.

Many people don't know the fact that the more people you follow, the more followers you get! So, everyday try to follow 30 people, then you would get around 5 to 10 people who follow you, in my previous experience. These people are your asset you can get access with your own recommendation regarding SFI business, not right away but some days. Of course, it takes time for you to build up some social relationships with them, but it will work when you get some credibility I am sure.

15 to 30 minutes everyday would be enough to build up daily followers, then observe them and try to find out break-through method of your own utilizing your imagination power.

I hope this would help you.

Before answering this question, I think we need to think about the following as an advertiser seeking for key communication words for target marketing towards each demographic.

(1) Which demographic do I belong to? Am I good at communication with the people in the same position with me?

(2) Why people are doing SFI business actively in each different demographic area? Are there any specific different reasons for each of them?

I think there is no objective better demographic in between retired persons and homemakers in general terms, but there is for me subjectively depending on my personal circumstances. So there is no general reasons to discriminate the two demographics. In my case, though I am already retired, I prefer younger homemakers rather than the retired, because I take more longer term perspective in building my team affiliates for SFI business. I think SFI as like a pension scheme, actually far better one for me.

So, the real issue here is how we approach each target demographic rather than which one is better. Let's use our utmost imagination power and make our own action plan and observe what will happen again and again, in this way we always open our mind.

I hope this would help you.

There are so many monthly paid membership based websites providing video and audio training programs regarding home-based online business, I have experienced some of them. These programs are normally run by so-called internet marketing "gurus".

Of course, I think if you can make or arrange webinars for your downlines free of charge, it would be great because it can build intimacy, solidarity and active teamwork etc. However, in this case, it may cost you a lot depending on your circumstances comparing with your own blog or cafe posting video training materials.

In my case, I am not in a position to utilize webinars, so as the second best option, I just introduce the following free of charge sources to my downlines to help them, particulary when they are newbies:

(1) SFI "Internet Income" in "Training" section in the main menu bar, and Forum articles which is so valuable in my experience to teach your downlines, far better than the other paid programs, in some sense.

(2) "YouTube" is the second largest search engine next to google. On YouTube, there are so many nice video tutorials about SFI, which you can download and transfer them to your downline PSAs and CSAs by email (To download, you may wish to use FireFox browser and it's relevant free add-on programs). Please just type the words, for example "SFI Affiliate Program", in YouTube search engine (www.youtube.com) then you will see many of them! Of course, you might wish to uploade your own video to Youtube, as I did.

I hope this would help you.

"At this time, which are the best countries to advertise SFI in?"

Before answering this question, where and how do we advertise our SFI gateway links?
There are so many ways such as:

(1) Internet blog or cafe in local and/or English which is mainly local but can go everywhere

(2) Free credit based safelist emailers which is mainly local but can go everywhere

(3) Free credit based manual or auto traffic exchange sites which is mainly local but can go everywhere

(4) Making files and upload to the torrent upload sites or free file sharing sites already optimised for google search engine etc. which can go everywhere

(5) Recommendation to Twitter and Facebook followers which is mainly local but can go everywhere

(6) Writing comments on various portal sites' articles, if allowed, which is mainly local but can go everywhere

(7) Other great online and offline channels which is mainly local but can go everywhere

Having said the above, actually I do not have any special focus of any country, and if any? It's my own country because it's easier for me. I just thank for getting any PSA from anywhere and try to do my best to duplicate my passion and knowledge on SFI.

Yes, this question is related to offline vs. online marketing which is complicated. I have also got the similar questions from my team members, so I answered them as below:
............................................

Hello,~FIRSTNAME~!

How are you doing?

Building your own team and downline PSAs is very critical to your success in SFI business, isn't it?

There are so many ways to practically achieve this, with your own pros and cons of course from your experiences, but generally speaking, it's not that easy, sorry to speak, if you are lazy or have no or a little time to advertise your SFI gateway links (log into your SFI homepage at www.sfimg.com and go to "My Gateways" in "My Acct" in the black main menu bar https://www.sfimg.com/MyAccount/GatewayList), which you must use when making your downline PSAs.

There are also so many articles and free training materials on how to do this, already ready for you in your SFI homepage, such as ASK SC articles, key words searchable, SFI Forum, and above all the "Internet Income" free courses at "Training" in the main menu bar at https://www.sfimg.com/Training/InternetIncome. I would strongly urge you to study all of these step by step taking your time, because your real power tends to be coming out from your knowledge and direct experiences. Personally I do not give my 100% trust to my thinking and emotional decision just made on my desk or bed time dreaming, because I think I need some encouraging proof developed through my own daily efforts, trial and errors! Actually this is the real fun part of our life, isn' t it?

Having said that, let me tell you my own online ads experiences of (1) some free ways but requiring your daily time and energy inputs (2) other options demanding your investment, small or larger, depending on your monthly monetary budgets (somebody says free ads are garbages or just waste of time, but I do not think so! There is no free lunch. Everything asks your passion, time and precious energy.):

(1) These include;

(a) Your internet blog or cafe advertising your gateway links of SFI and TripleClicks directly or indirectly, which accounts and design & posting tools are freely provided for you by your local portal sites in each country, which are normally to be made in your own local language that is the greatest way to recruit your PSAs, I would recommend for you. Please use the proven marketing tools in "Marketing" section in the main menu bar, such as banners, splashes and text ads by categories such as SFI, TripleClicks etc., in there in addition to your own articles and key words with creatives. Just be honest and tell your visitors the truth nothing but the truth you have felt and experienced in and through SFI, your lifetime serious and fun business.

(b) Free credit basis of email marketing of your SFI blog or your SFI gateway link page, by accumulating free credits through reading emails to you sent by safelist emailers. If you type "safelist" or "free emailer" in google search, then you can find many of them anyway. Please try to use FireFox browser having auto tab browsing function in PC, and Dolphin browser in your smart devices to save your time and energy in getting free credits through consecutive reafings. To receive so many emails from them, I think you've got to make several gmail accounts just for the purpose of this time consuming process. You join these sites as a free member, and if you got some positive results, then you may wish to consider upgrade.

(c) Free credit basis of manual traffic exchage marketing of your SFI blog or your SFI gateway link page, by accumulating free credits through manually surfing ads pages given to you by traffic exchange sites in the market. If you type "traffic exchange" or "manual traffic exchange" in google search, then you can find many of them anyway. Please try to use FireFox browser having auto tab browsing function in PC, and Dolphin browser in your tablet devices to save your time and energy. Personally I do not recommend autosurf traffic exchange, which was waste of time for me. You may wish to go http://www.trafficbrowser.com/ and download it's free software and run it according to their video tutorials there.

(d) Social Network marketings, using such as Facebook(using tiny urls of your SFI gateway links, making them at www.tinyurl.com that is free), Twitter and so many other global and local SNS service providers, by profiling yourself as oriented with online business linked with SFI. Normally the more people you follow, the more followers you would get. You can send your recommendation messages of SFI to each of them at some stage when socialized, with your own simple and powerful key words.

(e) Posting you videos on Youtube with making links to your SFI blog or gateway links to SFI and TripleClicks. You can post your comments with simple recommendations about SFI, in a form of back link, which is not normally allowed but sometimes it works. You can negotiate with the owner for you to do this in advance of course. You can do the similar things locally, in my case, on the free to join internet cafes, such as job community sites which provides various job opportunity searching related services particularly for university students.

(f) To use torrent upload sites and free file sharing and uploading sites which are already optimised for search engines like google, just making sure that you choose the right key words (4~6 words) as the file name and uploading subject, both to be same. Please try to make various formats of files with different contents with your SFI gateways, and upload them, then the rests would be done by those sites and search engines automatically for you. If you have done it correctly, you can confirm your uploaded file name through the google search engine in 24 hours, which is my experience.

To find out which one is the best suited for you in the above, I recommend you should use key code tracking services of SFI at https://www.sfimg.com/Support/Solution?id=19365 in "Power Tools" menu.


(2) Those include:

(a) You can purchase PSAs by investing some amount of money into co-op ads pool, firstly the TripleClicks(TC) Direct products, such as S-Builder(key code 1101) and PSAs To Go(recently introduced) at "SFI" category in "Products", and secondly

(b) at TripleClicks ECA shops. Just type some key words such as "signup" or "guaranteed" into the search box of TripleClicks.

(c) PTC sites which are rather cheaper than the others etc..

Please remember nobody above guarantees the recruited PSAs will be active, because they are not their employees. So it seems to be like a lottery, isn't it? So, don't expect too much from them, because only 2~3 percent of them, at best, would be active, if we are lucky, in my experiences and for our peace of mind. Just evaluate them frankly and correctly, with your own harsh or favorable comments at the right timing.

Having said various online methods in the above, I would like to emphasize the other side that actually the offline methods are far better than the online ones, in my best experience and knowledge. Please do not underestimate the power of words from your mouth! Why don't you tell your families, relatives, friends, colleagues and others you meet daily? Try to be ready and equipped with knowledge and experiences in SFI, and above all don't be too shy because they will love it eventually! You've got to trust this and never give up! I tell my friend "Study, and don't be a chicken, be a man!".

Of course, I would never stop trial and errors until I would get 300 warriors of active PSAs in my first generation, and I hope you do as well.

Thank you for reading this, and my messages would follow periodically with numbering from the basics to higher level of information to help for you to financially succeed through SFI, repeatedly with some more updates.

Please accept my best regards and wishes for you and your family.
Have a great and wonderful day!

Yes, team affiliates just want to know their financial vision in simple answers, so I send my message as below to them, which details the power of duplication and matching VPs they will get:
...................................................
Hello, ~FIRSTNAME~!

How are you doing?

Today's Topic: SFI-Why to become and maintain BTL(Bronze Team Leader) every month (Article #4)
Next #5 topic will be SFI-How to become and maintain BTL(Bronze Team Leader) every month (Article #5)

I think I have to tell you this subject at your earlier stage in SFI, because actually everybody wants to confirm what is the financial vision SFI can give him/her, and how to make it, in simple answers.

So, I would tell you that if you really want to succeed through SFI, in a form of fast track, just try to become and maintain BTL as a primary target in 3~6 months after your joining SFI, because you will get quite more substantial benefits comparinig with EA(Executive Affiliate), which are as follow:

(1) Second Home CSAs 1 Share: 40~60 CSAs each month you achieved BTL (for EA, only 2 CSAs to be given), 2 Shares for STL 80~120 CSAs
(2) Matching VP(VersaPoints) to BTL~PTL: nothing for EA and EA2

Frankly speaking, Matching VP benefits to be converted into US$ as a part of Executive Pool sharing and given to us each and every month in a form of monthly commission is the most motivating financial reason for me why I do SFI business each and every day with undying passion and unyielding attitude, in my financial vision in 3~5 years, which unfortunitely many people don't even know how it really works for them and their family, in the future as time goes by, in duplication process down to 12th generation of your downlines, which SFI compensates.

As I could not fully understand this subject, you would not so much understand it's mechanism until you get to the level of BTL, because of seeing is believing factor. These are manifested in COMPENSATION PLAN(https://www.sfimg.com/Reference/CompPlan) and BENEFITS CHART(https://www.sfimg.com/Reference/ComparisonChart), but if we encounter the terminologies and numbers in SCOREBOARD and GENEALOGY REPORT, something's still confusing, so let me tell you:

To get the benefits of Matching VP,

(1) You must become BTL(Bronze Team Leader) as your minimum status, then

(2) All VersaPoints of your downline PSAs down to 12th generation who achieved above "EA2 status" will be sum up and converted into US$ and be given to you next month. Current conversion ratio is about VP 2,300 = US$ 1.00

(3) All VersaPoints of your CSAs who achieved above "EA2 status" will be sum up as well and converted into US$ and be given to you next month. Current conversion ratio is same.

(4) This benefit is only given to BTL~PTL(excluding EA2), and sum up is made only from the affiliates above EA2 who are really active and successful in SFI. This is the reason why you need to become an awesome sponsor.

(5) You can confirm this from your genealogy and scoreboard pages.

(6) Average 1 US$ per person above EA2, for your easy caculation.

(7) Eligible matching VP is shown to you at your SCOREBOARD on the basis of your previous month's status, if you achieved BTL last month. So, it's nearly your current assets on the assumption that you maintain BTL this month too.

(8) Ineligible matching VP is your potential assets because they have not yet reached the level of EA2, which is determined by each month's position as of the end of every month. This is why you need to be an awesome sponsor and great team leader each and every month.

(9) Please note that every affiliate in SFI from AFF to PTL starts each month from the scratch, i.e. from AFF on a zero VersaPoint basis, in which there is no exception and no discrimination, that's I think why SFI is so fair and reasonable to every affiliate. So, the validation is to be made each and every month. A new month is coming every month, with different vision, strategy and tactics on how to maintain my BTL status this month etc., which is a challenging fun to everybody! However, sometimes painful agony, frankly speaking in my experience.


Going back to our vision, just imagine the numbers of duplications down to 12th generation, if everybody duplicates just a handful number of PSAs 3 affiliates, in each generation, then

3×3×3×3×3×3×3×3×3×3×3×3=531,441
Your financial vision is actually unlimited, because your horizontal has no limit!
Just be patient and never give up!
........................................................
For your reference,
??? Glossary definition: EA2( https://www.sfimg.com/Support/Solution?id=33895&referrer=search)

An Executive Affiliate who has maintained the EA rank for two or more months. Also, see Executive Affiliate.

Here are some examples of different scenarios that create an EA2:

If I made EA three months ago, didn't maintain it, and then I make EA again this month, I am an EA2.
If I made EA last month, and I'm in my grace period this month, I am not an EA2 (until I re-qualify with 1500 VP).
If I made EA last month, and I've already re-qualified with 1500 VP this month, I am an EA2.
 
NOTE: An asterisk displayed with your rank at the Affiliate Center indicates you haven't yet qualified for your last month's rank during the current month. You must qualify for your rank by the end of the month to retain the benefits of being an EA. 
....................................................................

I hope this would help you.

Have a great and wonderful day!

"What keywords should I avoid when setting up advertisements on search engines?"

Google and YouTube are the No.1 and No.2 search engines in the world at the moment.
But I think there are some more niche areas that people do not normally know or utilize while these ones already have their own SEO strategies optimized for you to advertise your website or blog pages including your gateway links for SFI and TripleClicks, for example (I have some positive results from here):

(1) Torrent uploding sites (please google them, there are so many)
(2) Free file uploading sites (please google them, there are so many)

Going back to the question, I do not think there are any keywords that you should avoid when setting up advertisements on any search engines, because it's just following the rules of marketing of "monopoly" and "pre-occupation" even in the keywords areas, not the problem of selection of keywords.

I would recommend you to try the following methods, if you wish:

(A) Make some all differnt files from each other in terms of format and size which include some knowledge and your SFI gateway links, then upload them to the above sites (1) and (2), then, from my previous experiences, in less that 24 hours you will see your files would be shown on the top 50 on the google, depending on your selection of keywords. You can use the most popular keywords in addition to your slight adding of your strategy and imagination.

(B) Make sure that in those files you need to link them with your own website and/or blog to increase the traffic from all over the world.

I hope this would help you.

With thanks and best regards,

As a team leader, I had raised similar questions in my mind, and thought about (1) how to motivate my inactive PSAs to be really active in SFI and (2) how to give more sound stimulation to some of the really active movers in my team, particularly when they are in 3 months period after their joining SFI.

There are some typical ways, including those already mentioned in the question:

(1) To transfer TCredits (Max. 10) in your Genealogy Report to each active PSA.
(2) To give more than 10 TCredits to a specific PSA, you need to set up Gift Certificates.
(3) To reassign PSAs to another active PSAs in your Genealogy Report

In my experience, I would like to recommend your incentives to be used for the following:

(1) Just focus on already active movers whose sign is logging in SFI everyday
(2) When reassigning existing PSAs, you may wish to reassign the same local language group of PSAs with the reassignee. In this case, you can even reassign inactive PSAs, after talking with the active reassignee, saying to him/her "I would like to reassign 5~10 inactive PSAs speaking your language, so could you please contact with them in your own local language?" etc.".
(3) Do not do excessive incentives or incentives requiring some responses from your donelines, which might be recognised as a bribe or a deal

I hope this would help you.
