Quite simply , the FREE ones. Well at first, anyway. I use several types of advertising, including Facebook, Twitter, free mailers and free traffic exchanges. There are so many avenues to choose from, simply join as many as you can and then see where your traffic is coming from. It is a bit of trial and error sometimes, but at least the only cost to you is your time. After several months of using these methods, I have now stream-lined which ones I use, I have weeded out the ones that simply don't work, and the very good ones I have actually invested some of my SFI monthly commissions in by upgrading,and I earn from these sites now too. Start off slow, test the water, invest where you think there is good value, walk away from those that do nothing.

I recommend this to my team members, and also on my website and Facebook pages,especially the new members who may have a very limited or zero budget. But I also stress that to make money you must invest money, so as your commissions grow invest this money back into your business. I put 100% of my SFI earnings back into my business, and a big proportion of that is used in marketing (ie S-Builder or PSA's To Go).

If your new PSA has a good budget though, then obviously the paid marketing will give you higher returns, and I thoroughly recommend PSA's To Go and S-Builder, slowly build your team and your commissions will grow accordingly.

Good luck

There are so many marketing aids that can be used by PSA's and it is a great help to new PSA's to provide some ideas about what may be used for their businesses.

First, ask your PSA's to see what they may have experience with or have interest in trying to set up such as marketing ideas.

The most important thing to remember is that in Marketing one size does not fit all. One approach may work well for you but may not for someone else so please take the time to consider the following:

How comfortable is the PSA with certain marketing approaches: warm calls, cold calls, on-line blogging, on-line vlogs, managing website, recruitment through use of mail outs, distribution of flyers, affordability and the list goes on.

What communication skills does the PSA have that can be used to leverage marketing methods: comfortable in writing marketing tag lines, good phone skills, or excellent skills on the computer to reply to on-line inquiries such as the SFI PPC program.

What is the PSA member wanting to happen from the marketing campaign/s: increase affiliate membership in down-line, increase sales, increase on-line presence?

Who does the PSA know or what services does the PSA currently use right now that may benefit from knowing about and using SFI services?

What marketing aids does the PSA gravitate too when they review the list of aids that SFI has under the Marketing tab?

Once you have the answers to these starter questions you will be in a better position to assit your new PSA's with marketing strategies that they are comfortable using.

Thank you for your question.

While each PSA is different, their basic goal for their SFI business is the same... to earn a better income. Of course, most want to be able to achieve this goal with little to no cost. Which makes SFI an ideal platform for them as it is free to join.

There are countless places scattered all over the internet that allow us to advertise for free. I will usually provide my PSAs with a few search terms to get them started such as "free advertising", "free marketing for affiliate programs", "free business opportunity classifieds", etc. I will also instruct them how to use the advanced search function in Google to narrow their results only to their country to start with.

There are, of course, numerous paid advertising options as well. The best way to introduce paid advertising to your team is by setting up a co-op. Let's say, for example, you find a good advertising site that costs $100 per month. Now, $100 per month for one person is a lot, especially when they are just starting out. But set up a co-op with 10 members and the per person cost is now only $10 a month, which is suddenly not so far out of reach.

I hope my answer helps. All the best for your success.

Great question! Most of us are financially challenged (which is why we're here in the first place), so here are a couple of ideas I'd like to share with you.

Have your PSAs (if they're really serious about SFI and TripleClicks) advertise by word of mouth if they can't afford business cards or brochures. But they should simply ease it into a conversation instead of making it sound like a tired sales pitch. We don't want to apply pressure on a potential customer/PSA, because that would be a big turnoff.

Another way for your PSAs is to make up and print out flyers to post around town, at school, or anywhere else you can think of. The fun part is that you can create your flyer however you want. Have future prospects sign up with a smile or even a chuckle.

I wish you all the best, and I hope you and your PSAs have fun with your advertising campaign!

Hello, Ferdinand Caorong!

You have a great ability to ask good questions that make us think and give us an opportunity to review basic SFI Training.

We are blessed, as SFI Affiliates to have at our disposal a wealth of marketing methods and marketing aids, for beginners, intermediate and advanced.

Your question is fully cover under the Marking module.
We should help our new PSAs to see the wisdom and the benefits to take inspiration from the marketing methods and use the marketing aids.

A. SFI has a wealth of Marketing Methods for Beginners.

You can find a detailed list through the link below.
https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/MarketingCenter?form=MarketingMethods

There are two full pages of different marketing methods for beginners that are easy to implement by new PSAs.

I have counted over 12 of such marketing methods

The easiest and most effective may be the following:

(i)) Referring friends and family to specific URLs of individual products. You can find a URL to a given product within the SFI Affiliate tab on each product's details page.

(ii)Sharing information about TripleClicks products via Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and other social networking sites you visit. Just click the "Share It!"button on each product's details page and follow the instructions. Be sure you're logged into TripleClicks.com, so your SFI ID will be attached to your shared information and you will receive credit for sales.

(iii)Adding a signature that promotes TripleClicks to your e-mail. Most modern e-mail browsers allow you to set up a "signature" that gets automatically appended to every e-mail you send out. Choose one of these text ads to use for your signature.

I seleceted the above as they target our warm markets (Family, friends, co-workers an others with whom we may interact on a daily basis. There are other methods that are outlined in the module as well.

B. It is also beneficial to use Marketing Aids
There are over 191 different marketing aids that SFI has made available to us
You will find them through the link below
https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/MarketingCenter

New Affiliates have the opportunity to select which ones meet their style to help them start on the right foot in growing their SFI Businesses

It would also be very beneficial for the new PSAs to supplement their efforts by focusing on sponsoring their new PSAs by using their gateways to that effect.

Good luck to you Ferdinand, and to your new PSAs as well.

It really depends on the PSA and their indicated level of experience in marketing.
In their first month in SFI, I do not actively encourage them to do any marketing. I would mention the fact that it needs to be done but I urge them to concentrate more on learning and getting to know the system. They would be able to market effectively if they know the systems well.

In the meantime I monitor who the workers are. I check their profiles and see what experience they have had at marketing. If the profile says that a PSA is comfortable with 'warm' markets for example, then I would encourage that PSA to do just that. If the PSA is not comfortable with 'warm' markets then I would still mention it but would not encourage the PSA to pursue it. Its really a case by case situation.

I believe in capitalizing on their current strengths and skills while gradually developing new ones. By doing so, they will get results and will be inspired to continue with SFI. If they try something new at this stage, they may not succeed and we run the risk of then getting disheartened and then leave SFI.

I try to be in constant contact with my PSAs. I explain to them the need for promotion & encourage them to contact me regarding among other things, marketing strategy. Unfortunately not many of them take up my offer. Its mainly only the 'workers' that make contact & I help them in a case by case situation.

Blessings

Marketing is a good way to duplication... This question is quiet easy if you ask yourself this question "What marketing method works best for me?"

You must have PSAs, for you to want to recommend marketing methods to them, and the best way to do this is to check what method you used to recruit them, especially the active ones.

For me i put into consideration
A. Cost
B. Effectiveness

The cheapest for me is "word of mouth"... You shouldn't be shy talking to your extended family, friends, colleagues and neighbours about the business you indulge in. Moreover, majority of them have known you for sometimes, it is easier to gain their trust and having them in your downline will be very easy.

However, it is advisable that you don't rely on one source, go the extra mile...

Below are some other useful marketing methods aside the best way above

1. Having a blogspot and advertising on that.
2. Owing a website and placing ads on it.
3. Advertising on other social media.
4. Distribution of flyers to passersby, leaving them in cabs, restaurants etc
5. Placing of adverts on walls, boards if allowed in your country and after appropriate permission has been granted.
6. SFI suggested marketing methods which is made available at https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/MarketingCenter?form=MarketingMethods.

I'm going to give you the "stupid answer" first, just to get it out of the way, and because there's some inherent truth in it that's actually worth expounding upon (please keep reading, even if there is an impulse to be 'fed up' by its glibness):

You should be recommending the successful marketing methods to your new PSAs.

Now, I mean that in two ways: First, from the standpoint of duplication, you need to teach them everything you know so that they can succeed as you do. That means you need to teach them the very same marketing methods you use and, most importantly, show them how to use them as effectively as you do. Second, consider how you got the very PSAs you're teaching. If you just bought them or attracted them with ads, you're going to have to get to know them well enough to know what they are like, and what will make them successful. On the other hand, if you've *recruited* them, you'll have a much better idea of the people you're teaching, and you might suggest techniques that might not even be successful for you, but that call directly to their strengths.

Now, if, on the other hand, you're really asking, "Which marketing methods should I use?" then I'm sure your sponsor and co-sponsor can make suggestions. In fact, according to the way duplication is supposed to work, they should have plenty to teach you... or they're not "awesome sponsors."

There are absolutely no restrictions as far as I am aware, on talking :)

You can find avenues to market SFI, almost anywhere but here are a few areas I concentrate on.

1..Family and friends - a huge extension of family and a ready made list of friends especially on Facebook are my popular options. I talk to them frequently about my online store and you just cannot go wrong on "women shoppers". Visual links on selected products from TripleClicks would be a good beginning.

2.. Emotional Marketing - this remains a truly untapped area where I try to dissuade women from buying from other stores. This requires considerable tact, talking and ensuring that you have the product at a competitive price. Women are always shopping for GIFTS for every ocassion.

3.. Frequent telephone contact and utilizing current tools such as Whatsapp, Skype, and Viber facilitates easy access to TC links which can be passed on through this medium.

4.. Depending on your target market, you can ask them to attend fairs and use them to advertise SFI and TC.

There are many options one has to market your business and these will depend on what you think works best for you. Your results will give you this answer. It depends on where you are and what is available to you at that time to capitalize on. A combination of offline and online methods works best for me.

Good one.....

Every affiliate should very much think about this and concentrate on effective marketing.
One of the topic in marketing is Branding, Branding plays a very important role, our job here is very much simplified by SFI by already creating good brand i.e SFI and Super store TripleClicks. In my view first we should believe in ourselves and believe in SFI.
This improves our confidence in marketing. Here below let me give few tips for all PSA's which will be very useful marketing methods at SFI.

1. Advertise in social media sites like, Facebook, Twitter Etc.
2. Using available tools at SFI like Prestige domain...
3. Word of mouth will be very useful.
4. Sharing success with your family and friends.
5. Displaying few banners and fliers also help the cause.
6. Holding few webinars and seminars also will be very useful.

Hope this helps....


Cheers..
