Hello, this is a appropriate question.

All help is available on the web!!.

Because the future of marketing is social media, I feel like going that direction.
Social Media has one million new users , daily, worldwide.
35% of the urban emerging countries has access to internet .
With all the knowledge about marketing trends , I suggest to do some research on what Social Media Networks are mostly used and where.
And any business is still about the people in

Every thing they can think of!! Try all of it.

Pay attention to results, using keycodes and hit tracking, to see which methods work best for the individual, which ones they like doing, which ones they don't.

After a couple weeks, they need to analyze their results: )which methods were successful? )how successful were they? )are you satisfied with your results?

Then, refine, tweak, change completely... keep doing this until they have found their marketing strengths,

I think the best marketing methods are divided in two types:
1- how to advertise items which belong to your business
2- how to promote items which do not belong to your own business
In the first case one should be aware of the fact that it is wise to promote his/her own products by advertising them everywhere possible and as long as possible daily.
In the second case advertising should be made the same way but taking care of giving priority to his/her own products when the Afffiliate

Hello, Ferdinand!

I always recommend my PSAs free online advertising and free advertising on social networks, because it takes experience and practice in writing advertisements. When they train for it, then they can move on to paid ads.

Also, it proved to be a successful method of writing a blog or a website where interested parties can leave their e-mail address (subscribers) and after receiving eg. weekly newsletter. In any case, desirable soft marketing, where you offer

Work your warm markets, friends, family, people from work, and business managers and workers of stores where you shop...

Hanging flyers and passing out business cards where appropriate.

Hand out ECA brochures to vendors at flea markets. thrift stores and garage sales.

Encourage including PSAs, S-Builder Packs in your Standard Orders.

Study the Marketing websites for products and services available from SFI.

Advertise, advertise and advertise,

Our new PSAs are like newborns who have little or no knowledge of marketing. So the first recommendationof marketing methods will be marketing to family and friends because that will give the the confidence they need to go out. Speaking with families and friends helps boost their confidence alot.
They can also send emails and post on their web pages and social networking sites too.
This will give them a good foundation before they start to venture into other more advanced marketing methods.

Marketing methods should be the ones the PSA is familiar with at first.

Most people jump right in to Facebook.With millions doing this,it is way overdone.
Better to give marketing tips with a tinyurl.com to hide the SFI name at Facebook.

Next go to all your email contacts and send a nice message with an invitation to join you.Just send 10 at a time at Google.

If you are a member of business communities,safe-lists or Traffic Exchanges,try them all.

For the new PSA's I would recommend they start off with the marketing methods offered to everyone when we all started off. Getting to now the different methods, getting to know how/where to use the text adds and banners.
From there they can see which one's work best for them and eventually trying out their own methods and key coding them to see in which categories are working best and attracting the most sponsoring.

Practice makes perfect.

All the best

I've tried both, Guaranteed Signups and Traffic only through SFI and I say that even tho' the Guaranteed Signups are mostly foreign, at least you get something substantial to look at for your money and some actually add points for you even if it is Temporarily...

Traffic works also but only if enough people are online looking for your product...I've had Traffic bring good and bad and sometimes no results...

I now watch the growth tab daily to see how many joined the days before

I would say firstly recommend the methods that worked for you in recruiting your PSAs.
They have obviously proved successful for yourself.

After all, duplication is the name of the game with SFI.

Then recommend methods that other SFI affiliates have found successful, many of which you can find in the forum, and certainly you will have many more recommendations here.
