Hello Jose!
One of the advantages of SFI business is that you can run it in the way that best suites you, as long as you don't violate the provisions of the Affiliate Agreement. This means that you can do most or all of your marketing offline, or in other words, using the traditional marketing methods. These methods are sorted into 4 categories:
1. PRINT: Includes advertisements in newspapers, newsletters, magazines, brochures, classifieds, and other printed material for distribution.
2. BROADCAST: Includes radio and television commercials, as well as specialized forms like on-screen movie theater advertising. In this particular case, a short commercial on a local radio station would be most convenient and affordable.
3. DIRECT MAIL: Includes fliers, postcards, brochures, letters, catalogs, and other material that is printed and mailed directly to prospects.
4. TELEMARKETING: Includes requested calling and cold calling of prospects over the phone.
Other than these traditional marketing methods, I would also point out these two techniques, which are more personal and quite effective:
1. Warm marketing - promoting business to your friends, relatives, generally people you know.
2. Face To Face Marketing - approaching your prospects or buyers on the street, in the coffee shop, in the grocery store, at hairdresser's, wherever you feel comfortable doing it.
As for the computer and Internet access for completing actions from To-do list, greeting affiliates, checking out company news, receiving and replying emails, there are public computers that can be used for this purpose, e.g. in libraries and coffee shops. If a person owns a smart mobile phone, they can use it as a substitute to a classic computer.
Also, affiliates who have limited access to a computer can save Launchpad lessons or other valuable training materials to a data storage device, when they are near a computer, and than print it out in a printing shop. In this way they can have access to training materials all the time.
Sponsors can also greatly help their PSAs. I have an affiliate who doesn't own a computer and is doing his SFI business from a smart phone. But it was very difficult and nerve-racking for him to create an advertising blog or a website using his phone, so I just made it for him. I created a one-page-website or a splash page for him to use. This is something that is not too difficult or time-consuming for a sponsor to do, and it's an immense help and booster for the PSA.
Hope my answer is helpful. Best regards.
