Launch Pad Lesson Day 4 (Marketing=Money) deals with Marketing Methods in SFI, especially the ones for beginners.
In the Marketing Center you will find 14 different Beginner Marketing Methods, some easier than others. All of them deal mostly with your Warm Market (Family and Friends), Social Media (Facebook, Twitter, Emails, etc.), distribution of marketing materials physically and online- and offline advertising.
Many answers so far said your warm market is the best to target when you are new in SFI, but I bet to differ. When you are new you haven’t started to earn much yet and many people are skeptical about online marketing as it is and if you don’t have proof yet they won’t react positively. Another reason is that you are still busy learning and not ready to face new “clients” face to face before you know all the facts (And that’s going to take a while).
I recommend you start by posting your SFI gateways on Facebook, Twitter and other social media pages and work your way up from there, because it’s relatively easy, since SFI provides you with everything you need. You just have to create your own social media profiles and pages. You can also share information about TripleClicks products on social media by just clicking on the “share-it” button next to each product. Be sure to be logged in at TripleClicks that your SFI id can be embedded in the link so that sales can be credited to you.
In the meantime you can also “forget” X-cards on the seat of public transport you are using, leave it with you restaurant bill, place it inside books in bookshops or send it out with every piece of mail. It’s one way you still don’t have to interact with people while you’re still getting to grips with the system.
You can then move to the next step, online advertising. It can be free or paid for, but can be relatively low cost. Start by advertising TripleClicks products and your SFI gateways on free e-commerce sites like Gumtree, OLX, etc. SFI also made that very easy to do since they provided us with all the links to post in our ads with our own SFI id’s embedded in the link URL’s so that all sales and referrals will be credited to us automatically.
Next would be to advertise offline in printed media (Free or paid for), posting marketing material on bulletin boards, under car wipers in parking lots, at shop or other service provider counters, etc. all with the necessary permission of course. Everything you need for this is also provided by SFI, from Tabbed and other flyers to X-cards, etc. Some is free and others can be ordered from TripleClicks at a nominal fee, but very easy to use. You just advertise your own SFI gateways by printing your SFI id in the appropriate space provided for it.
If you have a Website or Domain you could divert all the traffic from your marketing to it instead of directly to your gateways, by placing your Website’s URL in your ads as your preferred contact details and when anyone click on it or enter it on the Internet it take them directly to your website. You would normally post links to the products and services you want to advertise as well as your SFI and TripleClicks gateways on your webpages. Your website could attract other traffic from other Internet users as well if you have interesting content on it like a blog. It’s sometimes better to go this route since some social media platforms don’t allow you to post links on them especially with SFI in the URL. TripleClicks links will sometimes still be allowed.
You can, when you have ordered some of the products from TripleClicks and used them yourself, and are more familiar with the workings of SFI and TripleClicks, and have had some successes in SFI, start by promoting the products to your warm market, your close family and friends. You can do it by sending them emails with a signature appended to it that promote TripleClicks, sending them E-cards, sending them Giftcards or something from the TripleClicks store like a SFI mousepad, etc. If they see that you are somewhat successful they might be interested as well.
Now you’ll be more comfortable to start interacting with other people and can thus start to make contact with them face to face as well as distributing marketing material to them in public. You’ll also be able to answer questions they might have at this stage.
