My greatest challenge for success in SFI has been learning to market again with a minimal budget.
Due to health issues I had to step away from a nearly 8 year partnership and saw all resemblance of savings and income vanish while bills began flowing in. We live in a place where unemployment is still over 20% and with my physical disabilities there just don't seem to be any jobs that fit me so to dig out of this hole I returned to online marketing and went back to my very roots to build off zero budget and see if I could make success happen one more time.
In my old partnership we had traffic sites and advertising networks and paid accounts and automation tools and a good number of members to drive any promotion we joined. Now I had 1 blog, 2 additional domain names, and no cash to promote.
I set out and built some income using SFI and PPC Affiliate programs to gain enough to place my standing order. I was lucky enough to recruit a couple strong affiliates in the first month I had upgraded and nearly paid for that month by it's end. Since that month I have been in profit and the profit has continued to grow as my Aces have come into their own in SFI.
I am still faced with needing more Aces to round out my front line, and shore up my profits. I am still in need of my PPC earnings to cover a marketing budget but I have over 800 people in my total SFI team including hundreds of CSA who generate added income as well and an ECA that is in their 3rd month of making sales and continues to see sales growth.
I have decided to change some of my focus for this month to building up my newest blog site related to SFI and promoting to increase the number of Personally Referred Members in my team instead of running our successful advertising co-op this month. Next month I am telling all members of my team to save up on because I would love to see us double to triple our ad buy.
I thank my mentors at SFI and my late friend Cory for providing a strong foundation that lead me to 11 years as a strong marketer and laying the groundwork for much success both past, present, and future.
