Well, if you want to succeed in getting across to students, you must think the way students think and hang out where students hang out. That is the first step. If you can do that, you will make friends with students easily then build trust from there. If students get to like you and trust you, they will always listen to your “yarns” with rapt attention.

The next step is to throw in the bait. That is when you can show concern about their financial future after college. Slip in SFI business

Good question! actually this would apply also to other group of society. In finding the right method to use for a certain group we need to understand their general and individual characteristics.

Today's college students according to Dr Arthur Levine has different characteristics than before. His research is among the college students in the US but reflecting his findings inn my own country its pretty much the same.

Let me share them with you and and I will give my own insight

Every college I have been associated with has had a jobs board. Place your business opportunity there. Attend events at the university so that you have a chance to meet and talk with the students. Attend the sporting events and mingle with others afterwards and pass out gift cards, brochures and whatever is available to you.

I belonged to a selling organization that used to have us stand at the end of the campus and pass out discount cards to those leaving the college. Most colleges have

Some of the best ways to attract college students are as follows:

1. Hang up flyers around the college campus. Most college campuses have bulletin boards.
2. Attend a college event (football game, concert...) and bring plenty of cards with you and start talking to everyone.
3. Visit coffee shops, restaurants, and bars around college areas and see if they will let you post a flyer.
4. Search for college groups in social media and start up a conversation about SFI.

To start with, most students have something in common - they need extra cash and have good internet and communication skills and are already active on social networks. Also, they are probably not willing to skip social events and hanging out with friends for the sake of business.

So, that's what I believe should be your starting point. Emphasize that this is a job which can be done anywhere, from computer, phone, iPad or any other similar device, while sitting in a cafe or having a break
