Before you can set up an advertising co-op, you need to have a good source of new affiliates, so the first step is to test different advertising methods, and keep a record of the results (use Key Codes for this).
Once you have decided on your advertising methods, you have two choices. You can either set up a free co-op or a paid co-op.
A free co-op (as the name suggests) is one where there is no cost to participate. You could require a certain level of activity at SFI to participate in the co-op. For example, I run a free co-op for my team where everyone who has achieved EA status or higher one month receives a free co-op share the next month. This kind of co-op is great because it encourages activity, rewards those team members who are working, and also helps to grow your team.
The other option is a co-op where people pay for shares. Personally, I think this is more difficult because you are asking people for money, and you really have to be sure you can deliver what you are offering. Once you have a good source of referrals, set the price per share for your co-op, and tell your team about it.
You can also combine the two co-ops by, for example, offering free shares to anyone who meets a minimum qualification, and paid shares to everyone else, and/or to anyone who qualifies for a free share, but also wants to buy extra shares.
Make sure you promote your co-op to your team through team mails, your Leadership Page, and also regular stream posts.
