Here's the short answer to your question... YES, by all means.

But understand this... you MUST have a quality website or blog, or it will do more harm than good.

Here's why...

One of the primary reasons for developing your own blog or website is to brand yourself... to make prospective affiliates and customers want to choose you over the thousands of other SFI affiliates on the web.

If all you do is post your SFI gateways, you are actually branding SFI... which is fine... but it doesn't really make YOU stand out.

So, if your purpose for a website or blog is to brand yourself, then you surely wouldn't want to put a poor quality product out there for your prospects to see.


With that said, let's think about the primary focus of your website or blog... here's are three to think about.

1. Lead generation - finding new PSAs

2. Lead generation - finding new TripleClicks customers

3. Training site - Foster duplication of your PSAs and CSAs


If your primary focus is to generate leads for new PSAs, you would probably get by with a single page minisite that collects your prospects contact information... this is called a squeeze page, and the tool you would need to utilize for lead collection is an autoresponder. After adding the prospect to your list, then send them to the SFI gateways.


If you are focusing on developing new TripleClicks customers you could also use a minisite that promotes a single product... for instance, you might be promoting the Veriuni liquid nutrition. Again, you could utilize an autoresponder to collect their contact information, and then periodically send out promotional email messages to generate sales.

Another approach for building your TripleClicks customer base is to set up an authority site using a WordPress blog. This strategy will allow you to promote multiple products, going in depth with the benefits of each.

Focus on introducing to one or two items...after they have discovered the quality of our products, then you can encourage them to check out the entire TripleClicks website.


The last suggestion is to build a site to further train your downline members. For instance, if you have found a quality advertising source, you could share that with your team members. If you have developed a marketing plan that is working well for you, pass it on.

You get the idea.

And nothing says that you have to do ONLY one of the above. Also, I am sure there are any other great ideas to create and maintain a website or blog... this is just the tip of the iceberg.

I have seen a lot of ECAs marketing blogs or websites on TripleClicks, and quite frankly, I think most try to be an "all in one" website. Your prospect or customer gets lost on "what to do" and just moves on. You'll get the best results when you focus on one desired action instead of throwing everything. including the kitchen sink, at them.

Personally, I have built all three of the above examples.

To be successful with SFI, you don't need to have a website or your own blog. But, you do need to log in every day and performing the tasks on your to-do list. Having standing orders totalling 1,500 Versapoints guarantees your EA spot, then you can dedicate more time to study signing up affiliates and communicating with them.

Become an ECA if you have products to sell, and earn money and VP for all you sell. The most important thing to do once you have mastered what it takes to be a Team leader is to teach your PSAs to do the same and duplicate you. Once they learn the ropes, then they will in turn to duplicate themselves, and so on right down the line.

Sponsor as many as possible new affiliates each month. Participate in the "S-Builder" co-op (https://www.tripleclicks.com/detail.php?item=38631) if you're lacking in experience in internet marketing or have very little time to promote your SFI business. To accelerate the growth of your business, you may want to complement the "S-Builder" by participating in other co-ops also. You can find quite a number of them at TripleClicks.

Support your team members to the best of your ability. Keeping in touch with them regularly is important. Remember, you're successful only when they are successful. There are times when you don't have the answers on hand to their questions or enquiries. Don't worry. You can always ask your uplines for help. If they can't help you either, don't panic. Go to the SFI Forum to get and find the answers. The Forum is one of the best places where you can learn something new and also share experiences with other SFI affiliates around the world. Visit it regularly.

All the best.

PS:

Keep it simple; follow this 3-step plan:

1) Become and remain an EA every month

2) Recruit five affiliates

3) Teach them to do these same three steps

And that's it! Duplication is the key to success.

Well this is a very relevant question and I would add that to be successful with SFI it is not a must to have your own website or blog but if you are really dead serious about making it in SFI business then at least do a blog and regularly maintain and add relevant and appropriate fresh content to grow your organic SEO ranking and all on the various Niche keywords .

For starters i say let's not reinvent the wheels take a look at the readily available SFI Resources as well as regular posting of free ads :
https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/MarketingCenter

That said you may also want to consider eventually to have your own domain or website and have someone create a 1 page website for under 10 bucks which I happened to find it in the TRIPleClicks store and all you have to do is search for it and I type SFI websites

Well never give up stay passionate and see you at the top soon

Firstly, SFI has provided all the necessary tools, at your disposal. Its totally up to all affiliates to use all these tools, in running their ads.

On a bigger picture, yes, you will need to have a website and blog. Some of the reasons;

a) all the signs indicated that a large portion of current and future business revenues would be derived from online transactions or from offline transactions that were the result of online marketing efforts.

b) at the very least you have a presence on the web so that customers, potential sign ups/business partners can quickly and easily find out more about your business and the products or services you have to offer.

To be successful, it's not enough that you just have a website. You must have a professional-looking site if you want to be taken seriously. Since many consumers now search for information online prior to making a purchase or decide to join you as your business partners, your site may be the first chance you have at making a good impression. Stick to this rule!

Best of luck!

It always pays to be able to have some unique way of promoting an opportunity especially when it's something like SFI which has such a massive membership.

People generally get fed up seeing the same promotional pages time and time again.

But this doesn't necessarily mean you have to setup your own website or blog, all it means is that it can be to your advantage to create a single unique page or splash page to promote the SFI opportunity so that it will appear you are offering something different and are committed to promoting the SFI program and the opportunities which it offers.

With people's mentality it's all about showing them that you are genuinely interested in the programs and opportunities which you promote, and having a personalised custom page to promote the opportunity is often all that it takes to show that commitment to your potential signups.

Sometimes the smallest differences in how you market can make the biggest difference in the results you attain from your efforts

You don’t need to have a blog or website to be success but it will surely make your road to success much easier! Of the two, the easiest solution is the blog, especially for beginners. It is easy to set up and it can be created for free, eg. www.wix.com/ or blogger.com. You can also download free blog templates from many sites.

A blog is ideal for posting your banners, gateways, etc, so that you can build a dynamic team of affiliates as your downline. You can write anything you like, a hobby, food, a community interest, etc. I would especially recommend a blog for new affiliates because it can be a valuable learning experience as they work on posting banners, links and other marketing aids.

They can see immediate results of their efforts and this can be very encouraging. As they continue to get the hang of it, they can edit and improve this skill to make it more appealing and informative. This will allow them to get many hits and they can show their friends their progress.

The main idea is to ensure that you post something every day about SFI/TripleClicks and always maintain up to date and relevant information. Take time to re-read everything you write before posting. Be positive in your writings. Positive thoughts are full of hope and faith.

Always give your readers something to look forward to. Connect with them through your experiences and you will eventually build a great group of affiliates for your business.

Since Facebook and some of the other more popular social sites have made direct references to SFI links nearly impossible, I would say you have 2 choices: Be very creative in the ways you post on social sites; OR, find advertising websites on which to place ads for SFI & TripleClicks.

You can chatter and post all day on the social sites about what you do in SFI/TripleClicks, extolling the products, games, benefits, etc., and include your email address, instead of your link, so others can contact you for more info if you post well enough to raise their curiosity. THEN you can send them whichever gateway link appeals to them. This might be a better way to get more interested sign-ups!

Bottom line, NO, I do not believe you need to have web/blog to succeed; you just may have to work a little differently to succeed!!:))

Best wishes...

Good Question,

No- you don't necessarily need a website to be successful here. Your gateways can be used just as well for advertising, although just the affiliate link may sway some people.
You can advertise your gateways for free all over the internet, or sell products from Tripleclicks in the same way.

You can also win or buy a Custom Prestige Domain and point it to your chosen gateways.

That being said- having your own blog or website can make a difference in advertising because it can be searched through the internet by people around the world based on Search Engine Optimization and the content on your website or blog. You can even build a free website from one of the free website builders and advertise from it, just make sure your content stays fresh and up-to-date.

To your success.

Yes that is why SFI provides you with free websites so that you can have a tool for marketing until you can afford to purchase a prestige domain or your own website. Personally I prefer to have my own website or blog because the free websites that SFI provides has the same appearance for every affiliate and the only thing that differentiates this is the affiliate ID number.

When I surf the Traffic exchange sites or advertise on Facebook honestly I see too many members using the free websites that SFI provides and this just makes me sick of looking at them so probably your prospects may feel the same when they surf.

On the other hand having your own website/blog sets you apart from most other affiliates and probably that would grab more attention because of the fact that you stick out.

I believe a website is more powerful than a flyer or a business card because these things contain more information and besides, flyers can be thrown away, or simply get lost but a website can be bookmarked and viewed at a later time.

As they say that the more marketing you do the better will be the results, Technically it's not required to have your website or a blog but having one will add to whatever you are doing. Think about someone joining your group while you are in an evening nap, or driving, walking or having lunch or dinner or anything for that matter.

Most of the people cannot afford websites not because it is expensive but reason like maintenance and making changes or frequent updates or may be not having enough knowledge to build one themselves and eventually marketing them.

If you cannot do a website I would suggest use a blog. Google offers free blog and make sure give a very catchy name of the domain so when you ask people to join it would look interesting.

Maintaining blogs are very easy and there is tons of information out there on how to create and maintain your own blog.

Bottom line is the more you market the better you get in this game.

Hope this helps.
