Social Media is extremely powerful for marketing. Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook are the top platforms for business marketing and many still do not know this fact or even how to use them to market business.

My approach to using these platforms are without paying for ads on these platforms.

Create a business Facebook page, the page allows you to schedule posts for a long time ahead. This way you are able to save time on having to send out posts everyday.

With Twitter you can use an app called Buffer to schedule Tweets.

For those that are willing to spend some cash to save time one of the best software to schedule on social media platforms are Hootsuite. ( With one click you can post to all social media platforms at the same time ).

P.S Remember people simply do not want to see your ads on every tweet or post it will annoy them.

So I will share something I learnt along the way - Infinity 3-2-1 strategy

3 : Give value (i.e educate and share knowledge about your niche)

2: Engage (i.e sincerely get to know prospects, they are human and if you really show you care instead of saying you do, you would not have to sell anything. They will WANT to join your team. Remember its a life long relationship you intend building. Connect with people.

1: Assumptive close ( A sales technique, after getting your prospect to say YES many times in a conversation while getting to know them, the final YES to join will flow easy.

It will help to know all the basics of SFI so that when questions arise you are able to answer confidently.

Do not forget to mention the benefits and features of being an ECA this will entice them even more.

Finally, position yourself as expert in your field ( This means learn all there is to know before offering advice. Also learn how to overcome objections ).

My personal favourite is, before using social media create a blog then use the social media to firstly refer them to your blog. When at your blog tell your story and this is how they will connect with you. Give some positive detail about SFI.

Have your ECA links all over your blog. 3 blog articles per week should suffice.

Continue this and with time and patience your business will explode.

Greetings,

Most certainly a very good question and I am sure every affiliate asks themselves the same one. I know I did.

A very big YES to your question. How?

Blogging > Vlogging > Social Media > Newsletters > Classifieds Sites like Craigslist > Paid digital Ads > Local newspaper listings > Magazine Ads > Local printed Flyers etc.

Let me elaborate, the web is much more powerful and saves more time and money.

So your best bet would be digital (online)...

So start by blogging.... example : wordpress.com

When you blog you will have to focus on a specific niche example : Your journey making money online and what is your "WHY". Within your blog you may then go ahead and include SFI links and banners recommending SFI. Build your own following / fans.

Start building fans and followers using social media, example : create a facebook group and your leads/ prospects will come from their.

Start building a twitter presence. Hootsuite can be used here to manage all your social media accounts at the same time. For social media blocking some SFI links simply use Bitly.

Basically your goal here would be to use the social media to get traffic ( visitors to your website ).
They then read your inspiring articles and feel the urge to sign up and join you in SFI..

Awesome right? Yes! However prepare yourself to have much patience.

So your social media strategy I suggest you use to gain followers / leads / prospects is to simply share value.. People generally love motivational twitter and facebook pages etc.

People love really awesome pictures / good true inspiring life stories like you will find on HUMANS OF NEW YORK.

Own the space, Make it your own, Blog about your own passions and include your story of how you got into making residual income online....

Search engine optimization plays an important role on blogging. So research all of this.

Use google analytics to see what works and what does not.

Newsletter software : Getresponse or Mailchimp etc. The big word here is "LIST BUILDING". This is also how you gain more traffic to your website which ultimately opens the door for sales...
( sales funnel ).

Look up "Pop Up Domination"

Position yourself as expert in your niche. This will draw attention to your brand.

BRAND! you must build your own brand as people will buy into you when you build trust with them. This is where video (Vlogging) comes in. Its more personal. Offer Skype sessions for those interested to hear more...

Also learn from people like Patt Flynn. Simply Google him.

Subscribe to websites that gives great advice one social media and blogging etc.

Learn all you can and apply what you learn.

I really hope this helps.

P.S all the best

I really think that focusing on the facts of of SFI speaks for itself.

SFI has a powerful history and we still growing rapidly. Share this information. Let people know about the opportunity they are missing.

People love good bargains, share the auction results.

Blog about the success stories and the awesome testimonials.

When you write in your blog connect with people in such a way that you can relate to them regarding how tough it is to make ends meat. This is not only fun but gives them a real chance of time and financial freedom.

A really simply question to ask prospects is : "How would you like to retire" Comfortable yes?

Make them say as much "yes`s in your conversation so that they subconsciously say yes to sign up. After joining and they see the light they will thank you for it.

Generally people are skeptical but we need to position it in retrospect. They truly having nothing to lose with SFI when they simply join for free and get access to all resources.

And how many companies allows you to speak directly to the founder? How awesome is that.

Should be a no brainer to each prospect facing our pitch if we prepared and know how to approach them.

Online or offline.

If you are focusing to market on-line only then the below steps are quite effective. I personally prefer on-line as you will have greater reach of prospective shoppers.

When advertising using different platforms like classifieds or social media make sure you are sharing value. Details are important.

Allow me to elaborate : Do not simply post links. (this annoys most web surfers).

1. Demonstrate the features and benefits of buying products on TripleClicks.

2. Engage with prospects. (Especially on Social Media platforms).

3. If you using your own blog to advertise TripleClicks products be sure to write about these products and mention the great reviews about them.

4. Mention the powerful statistics of TripleClicks. (Some insight or a short history will entice people to shop at TripleClicks.

5. Infographics are important too. Refer products that are available in your own country as the delivery or shipping times certainly affects the decision of prospective buyers.

6. Focus your product choice on a niche and make sure you analyse data to track what is working and what is not.

7. A business never stops advertising, with that said, know that it is a numbers game. The more people that see your advertisement the greater the chance someone will buy.

8. Content : The way we word the content when advertising are of utmost importance. Simple, to the point but powerful enough to have great impact.

9. Choose products that are a need and not a want. ( This depends on your target market).

10. Do a little online research and see what people are mostly buying.

11. Prefably advertise a product that you also purchase. This way when advertising people are more likely to trust your recommendation.

SFI in various sections of the entire knowledge base as well as the forums clearly give the benefits of purchasing at TripleClicks.

I feel that as affiliates with access to all the resources they have they shouldn't really be motivated to buy. They should already be seeing the magic once they join SFI.

To elaborate some more, if they not buying they not really serious about this business. Or perhaps they cannot afford to at this time.

So your solution or answer to motivating them to buy if it is a lack of budget for these affiliates is as following :-

Get them to sell their unwanted goods at TripleClicks. This was they can make purchases at TripleClicks. If they do not have unwanted goods to sell then connect with them on a more personal level. Find out what is holding them back. Even if this means via skype of personal email if they have given you access to it.

This is a business and you need to see your affiliates as clients. And as clients you need to do a needs analysis on each of them. Find out what their personal needs are. They do not need convincing but motivation. Motivate them by asking them what motivates them to earn everyday? eg, their family, growing old with a measley pension fund.

You see, most humans do not realise their potential until they are shown. To demonstrate their potential refer them to existing successful SFI`ers that are making good money from around the globe.

Use facts like how many new sign ups SFI has per month. The online world is becoming more of a revolution in a good sense of the word.

For those that can afford to and are holding back. Connect with them by opening up to them about your personal life experiences. eg. Imagine we started 5 years ago with SFI? Imagine we were not asleep when we were younger. Where we could have been. Remind them it is not too late to get started. They simply need to take action and stop thinking about it.

People in general like to here success stories and at the same time they like to talk about their own situation. They just need someone to listen to. This will be your advantage.

SFI and its affiliates are on a mission to help the world of humans build a better life for themselves. This mission could not happen at a better time while poverty is on the increase worldwide.

These kind of topics.. facts, world facts, fact all fellow humans can relate to. This will give them a wake up call.

If this still does not wake them up then accept the fact that those specific ones are meant to remain asleep.

Then it is for you to stay strong and put your focus on those affiliates that you see are working towards their goal.

I recently signed up a friend. I remind him every single day face to face about his goals and to focus on SFI. He is a 21 year old. Now I know most of our affiliates will not be personal friends but we can remind them every single day via email or even a call.

Do not make the mistake of spending money on them as this could be a loss to you can cause much frustration. Pass on your positive energy to them to get them excited.

Do some research online and prove to them that SFI is the leading affiliate network to be in.

This is a very good question as we all struggle with affiliates doing absolutely nothing. But never give up on them until you see they have cancelled their account with SFI.

After doing some research I found that the reason why corporates keep spending on advertisements is that it is proven scientifically that someone who sees an advert for the 10 time only then will they buy into it.

What I am saying is. Keep doing what you are doing. Keep connecting and speaking to them.

A mistake my upline made was to pass me on to another when I was inactive when I started. Why was I inactive. Personal reasons. Remember these are all factors we need to consider regarding inactive affiliates.

Everyone deserves second chances. Do not give up on them until they give up on themselves.

Stay strong. If its meant for you it will come. Efforts are always rewarded in anything we do in life.

Use the LIFE angle instead of trying to persuade them.

A sales technique : make a person say yes to you more than 5 times in a conversation and when you ask the final closing question they will subconsciously say yes.

Do remember it is a numbers game and you will have to siff or filter through many to find the diamonds in the ruff.

Happy new year & I hope this really helps your perception and strategy.

As a serious business owner I will be sacrificing and cutting all expenses that I feel are unnecessary in my life.

I will then divert those funds towards SFI and TripleClicks.

To be more open I will be eating at restaurants less. That saves alot.

I drink water instead of softdrinks. ( Also a wonderful health benefit ).

It is all about attitude and how badly do each specific person really want time and financial freedom.

I am in no way referring to SFI basics I am referring to the reality that "the gap between the rich and poor are closing rapidly" - By Robert Kiyosaki, "Soon there wont be a middle class".

Question we need to ask ourselves is where do we want to be? When and not "if" we make a success of SFI, we can assist the poor. Our goals should not be selfish. Our income grows as we grow in character. Focus on the passion and not the money.

As a reminder, to be a success at anything and gaining the fulfilment and contentment thereof, one needs to be passionate with what we are doing. If you are passionate we become flexible to any changes that may occur and be ready to re-strategise. I ma with SFI for almost one year and I never made a single sent. This has motivated me to change my strategy.

We need to move away from what is not working. The internet is rapidly evolving and so too are people. Technology has affected our lives so much that we spend more time on social media than with our own families. This is a great advantage to get ads in front of these users eyes.

Position yourself as an online entrepreneur and coach. Pimp up your social media profiles so everyone can see. Change your privacy settings to public so that you can connect to total strangers who then become prospects.

So inevitably what I will do different is get uncomfortable. Its when we are uncomfortable that we are more progressive. This is also when we learn more. Pressure is good for some and not good for others. So one key is get to know yourself better and leverage what really works for you. Ofcourse, still apply and combine the advice of what SFI teaches us.

All the best on your journey to success at SFI.

Happy new year to you and your family!

Great question. It seems to be an ongoing problem in building a team of active affiliates.

This is where the power lies.

Get connected with them, When I say connected I mean actually become a very important part of their lives.

How do we achieve this?

They can simply ignore their emails when life gets busy so with their permission ask when is a convenient time to give them a call.

Strategise and plan with them. Discuss their goals and state the steps you as an upline will take to assist them in reaching those goals.

Probe them in a sense that you know their personal goals intimately and then assist them to achieve it. This is coaching of an upline. Throwing money at them will get them excited for a few days and boom rock bottom again. I personally think that is a waste. I would not spend a dime on an associate knowing they are inactive.

So I will make it more easy for .... Your first couple of lines in your email to them would be,....

Greetings SO&SO,

You chose SFI for a reason and that reason is that you seek not only financial freedom but time freedom to make a better impact in this world. To leave a great legacy. What is your intended legacy?

Pleasse contact me on 000 000 000 so that we can plan and discuss a business strategy that will work for you based on your own individual situation.

It is all in the content that you feed your downline. How you approach them in email , how you connect and actually sincerely care for their lively hood.

Stop telling them what to do... SFI BASICS etc etc... if they are worthy they should know all that.... instead ask them exactly what they struggling with and take it from there. be as helpful as possible.

If they dont budge move on and focus on gaining more affiliates... Its numbers game....

hope this helps.

Thank you for this great question.

I would personally focus on a powerful web strategy.

Allow me to elaborate :

1. Twitter is one of the most powerful platforms for receiving a great reach on prospects.
2. LinkedIn another one. Grow your Social Media following on these platforms and you will be sure to make a massive impact.

How exactly do we leverage this power of Twitter and LinkedIn?

Post regularly and be sure to share value instead of just posting links. This way your followers will find an interest and you will certainly position yourself as a leader in your field.

Now that you sharing value and connecting with new prospects, reach out to them one on one and build relationships with them.

"Hustle until you no longer need to introduce yourself"

Build the trust so strong that they ask to join your team.

The bottom line here is, do not just advertise "signing bonus". Share so much value that your followers increase rapidly and add your SFI link on your Social Media profiles.

Everytime you post a profound postive in a specific niche eg. Entrepreneurs. Users will start retweeting your tweets with you asking them to. Posting your posts without you asking them to do it.

Watch the Twitter #tag / hastag trends and see how you can add your value within the trending hastags for even greater reach.

Becareful no to spam. Eg. do not tweet business tips under the hashtag Obama.

With a automated software like Hootsuite you can automate your tweets for a month or so in advance to save you valuable time.

Facebook also offers scheduling of posts ahead of time. A great feature to assist with time management.

Once you have connected with prospects talk about the SFI opportunity in a subtle way if they have not already clicked on your link in your profiles on Social Media/Blog.

You do not really need to work harder but smarter. Do more reasearch to follow web trends.

Monitor your strategy by data analysis and that will determine when you should make changes to your strategy.

Your strategy will not apply for the entire new year. It will be based on the latest web trends.

One of the biggest trends right now is Video.. another big one to focus on.

I hope this gives you some insight on the way forward.
