A great marketing plan is one that you believe in and are ready to accomplish!
1)you must decide what you are going to focus on for each campaign - one size does not fit all!
2) you must look at the market that you intend to target with your message - what are they interested in? What motivates them? How do you reach them?
3) you must use the information you have gathered to prepare a unique message to each part of that market.
4) you must decide what media(s) to use and design an ad that works in that media - what works in a tweet will not always work as a facebook ad or blog for example.
5) you must set up a way to track the success of each ad, using different gateways and codes for example.
6) Then you must get out there and do it!
7) Watch the progress and after a couple of weeks adjust the ad(s) according to what is working and what is falling short!
Repeat the process on an ongoing basis trying new methods or media and keeping track of the results so that you can refine your approach.
Don't quit!

You need to have a goal. Gery is always speaking of setting and updating goals and many overlook this important part of business.

First, you would have set some goals when you first joined SFI. There is at the foot of your goals tab, an area where you can update them. Go to this area frequently – at least monthly. As you progress, you goals will change and they need updating.

When your goals are set, you then need a marketing plan set out on how you are going to reach these goals. So you want to be a team leader. When do you want to be a team leader? Realistically, how long do you think it will take you to get there and when you are there, can you maintain this rank long term?

This is where the notebook comes in handy. Write out your goal. Write out how one actually gets there. There is advertising to consider as well as communication, sales and general daily tasks.

Advertising is a very important part of any business whether it be online or bricks and mortar. There is free advertising and paid advertising and they are both good ways of letting people know what you are doing. Plan your advertising well and make sure you have keycodes on them all so you can see which are generating sales and which are not.

Refer to your notebook each day and make a note on how you can improve. A small improvement every day will soon amount to bigger things and ultimately your success in SFI.

The answer to your question must begin with your idea of success.
What is success for you?
Is success a full time income or a part time income?

Lets assume success for you is a full time income.

Your marketing plan will depend on your goal.
Most affiliates would have a goal of (a) sponsoring new member and (b) making sales at TripleClicks.

Next your marketing plan will depend on:
1. Your marketing skill level
2. Your skills on the internet, can you produce a website?
3. What is your available budget? How much are you willing to spend to achieve success?
4. How much time do you have available to invest in your marketing plan?

A simple marketing plan for a person with some money and time to invest would be to:
1. Create a standing order of 1500 vp per month - so that you are Executive Affiliate every month.
2. Buy as many share of S-Builder as possible to grow your network.
3. Create a free blog where you could advertise TripleClicks products to promote sales.
4. Share everything you do on Social media to get increased exposure.
5. Log into SFI daily to collect as many Versa Points as possible.

That would be a simple marketing plan, depending on your skills and you budget of time and money you could scale the different items to create more value for both you and your customers.

Hope that helps!

To create a good marketing plan for myself to ensure success in SFI, here’s what I do.

SFI has the best marketing plan in the world already, so I find it easier to base my own on a proven and successful marketing plan, and not try to reinvent the wheels that is already running so very smoothly.

SFI has given us The Plan to follow, and Rules of Success to guide us in our journey.

So my own marketing plan is as simple and as uncomplicated as SFI BASICs.

. Become EA and remain EA every month by setting up a Standing Order that will help with maintaining my rank as well as build my team.
. Sponsor 5 serious, committed, hardworking and ambitious people using SFI’s sponsoring tools as well as my own .
. Teach these 5 like-minded affiliates to do the things I have done.

With a modest budget of $100 to $300 a month, this helped me to pay for my Standing Orders of 4 shares in S-Builder Co-op and 4 x125 TCredit Packs with a total of only $233.

My shares in S-Builder Co-op, as well as buying PSAs from ECA, helps with advertising globally which relieves stress in having to manage advertising on my own. It helps build my team as well as give me PRMs .

The 500 TCredits enable me to bid at Pricebenders auctions for items such as TCredits Packages,PSA/CSA Packages, Gift Cards, etc. as well as earn the maximum 500 Action VP and MRPs, win PSAs from Bid & Build, and 4 TCredits from Flash Drawings.

Adding 5 of my Workers to my S-Builder Co-op and sharing PSAs won from Bid & Build with my deserving downlines helped boost my team's growth.

Moving up to the next rank month after month and helping my team to build and achieve their dreams is the heart and soul of my Marketing Plan until I and my team reach our ultimate destination- DTL!

Thanks for this question.

There is nothing called creating a good marketing plan for yourself that will lead to success in SFI. If there is one already, every affiliate would have written success stories & created history of sort, by this time.

You can have different strategies and keep changing them from time to time, based on the ground realities

Hence, its worth remembering the SFI Rules of Success:

1. Become and Remain an EA every month;
2. Introduce 5 strong affiliates;
3. Help them to duplicate the above;

Success depends on how well we implement and ensure the above.

One and only way to start doing it, is through Advertising and continuous advertising of SFI and TC products and services.

1. By advertising regularly, you stand an opportunity to get more sign ups;
2. Since the success rate of conversion of these sign ups into quality affiliates remains in single digit to this date, there is no other way than advertising & gaining more number of sign ups;
3. There are lot of Marketing Aids and Marketing Methods, well defined in the Tab " Marketing" in our Home Page;
4. Everything thing explained there, is based on so many years of experience of Geri, the Founder
of this Organization and are time tested and proven;
5. Your Marketing Plan can be based on a target group;
6. Once that is identified then go ahead choosing the right one from "Marketing Aids" and advertise it continuously without worrying about the initial response;
7. Nothing happens over night; Nothing worth is established over night;
8. SFI is not a get rich over night program either;
9. It requires lot of patience, perseverance and duplication to be successful continuously.

Conclusion:

a) There can not be a standard Marketing Plan that will lead to success in SFI;
b) Since your success depends on the growth and success of your Team, try and build a Team comprising of Strong and Active affiliates;
c) To do this, the only means available is advertising and keep advertising SFI & TC products and services continuously,
d) Keep getting sign ups regularly, do your best to convert them into quality affiliates, keep building and having a strong and active team at any point of time;
e) This alone will lead to success in SFI.

Hi Monika

Very good and important question. Lets first define What is Marketing? Marketing is communicating the value of a product, service or brand to customers, for the purpose of promoting or selling that product, service, or brand.
Marketing has 4 Key elements:

Research – finding out (researching your customer)
Strategy – the vision – A strategy is a holistic view of the organization's purpose. It is usually expressed in terms of:

Log-term objectives
Actions to achieve these
Resource allocation necessary to support them
Planning – the how – A written plan is vital to focus your marketing effort and to control it. It comprises of:

Statement of intent – Management and executive time/input.
Attempt at qualifying the future – Commitment
Cohessive structure – Cost
Signposts for actions – Research
Base for evaluation and feedback – assunptions
Outcome of a logical process - Review
Tactics – at the sharp end.- To put your marketing into action, you have to communicate your offer to your customers cost effectively and in terms they understand (address their wants and needs)
You need to:

1. Use the best and most appropriate communication channels.
2. Manage your relationship with them
3. Get feedback and act on it.
4. Monitor how you are doing against your plan.
Essentially, this is the promotional part of the marketing mix.

A marketing plan is a comprehensive blueprint which outlines an organization's overall marketing efforts. A marketing process can be realized by the marketing mix.. The last step in the process is the marketing controlling.
Marketing is all about giving the customer what he wants.

This encapsulates:
Product: The properties of your service.
Price: The right price and value
Place: Availability.
Promotion: Informing customers in a manner that they understand.

Marketing people call this the 4Ps, but is driven by the Customer Value Proposition (CVP).

Hope it helps
Cheers !!

To know how to create a good marketing plan for yourself that will lead to success in SFI, you must first know what is going to lead you to success and which method of marketing do you want to use/apply. If you don’t know what will lead you to success and which method you want to use to get there, you’re likely to get confused and end up not knowing what to learn and/or do. Like they say that Jack of all trades is a master of none. You must know what you need to do and master it. To succeed, you must be a master of what you are doing.

To create a plan, you work backwards. You start with what you want to achieve and work backwards on how to achieve it. You must write down all that. Then after writing that plan, you take action, you start working forward, to achieve what you want. A plan is not fixed. As you work, you'll have to keep on updating your plan.

Lets make an example, I'll make it short. Let's say for you have identified that you can succeed by building a strong team. Now you want to build a team. You ask yourself this questions:
1. How am I going to build a team? - I need to recruit.
2. How am I going to recruit? - I'll use internert.
3. Where am I going to recruit? - I'll recruit from Facebook.

Now writing your plan:
1. Do you know to recruit? - If yes, you skip it. If no, You must learn to recruit.
2. Do you know how to use internet? If yes, you skip. If know, you must learn how to use internet.
3. a) Do you have an account with Facebook? If yes, you skip. If no, you must create an account.
3. b) Do you know how Facebook work and how to advertise/promote and/or recruit at Facebook? - If yes proceed. If no start learning and apply it afterwards to avoid being baned.

You now know what you need to learn and what you need to do. Now your plan is ready, you can start applying and following it. Remember this is short example. There are other things I didn't write.

Now this way, you'll be a master of marketing at Facebook. You'll know the in and outs of Facebook. You won't ignore other marketing methods. You will use other marketing methods that SFI, internet, etc, provides. But you'll concentrate more on what you are mastering. This way you are more than 80% sure that every month you'll get sign-ups and/or sales.

I hope this will help you.
Thank you.

The common denominator of all marketing plans is that payments are based on the sales you make, both personal sales that sales people who recruit. Most are high total sales, you earn more. If you're lucky, the plan will be simple and easy to understand. But many plans seem complicated and confusing, especially for novices.

Do not be discouraged. Many good marketing plans focus specifically on key behaviors required to create a successful structure.

Downline - that is the person that you recruit and train and from which you earn a percentage of sales - is the heart of your success. When you learn the marketing plan, you learn what you need to do to maximize your revenue.

If you understand the plan, you can explain it clearly and with enthusiasm to your recruits. When you do a good job, then they will be able to explain it clearly and with enthusiasm to their own recruits. Now your entire organization focuses on the most productive areas.

This is what you need to know about the marketing plan you are using:
The most basic principle of network marketing is duplication - sell products and recruit other people to sell products and recruit others, so continuing indefinitely. This is what we encourage you to do and what they reward all marketing plans.

Your percentage will increase when you reach and maintain higher levels. This is designed to encourage you to build your business and reward your constant performance.

Your level is based on your personal sales and the sales of those recruits, both directly (your first lines) or indirectly (ie the lines in your first lines). Together these people are referred to your business.

When a member of your group and recruit enough people make enough sales to reach a higher level, he becomes a key element of your business. You are paid according to these people. More developments this kind of leader more you rise to level - and therefore more you will be rewarded.

Some successful people receive monthly payments of hundreds of thousands of Euros, if not more. But they have earned their level in the same way that you get there too, recruiting one person at a time.

How fast you will be in reaching every level it depends on how much you give us dry and by your ability to make marketing your products and your business opportunity.

If you do grow a business diligently, your revenue will increase month after month. The limit of your earnings I fixed it.

Great question and I am hopeful you will see lots of good responses.

In my opinion, to build your business outside of your local sphere of
of influence. Friends, family, acquaintances, locals and businesses.
You will have to generate new prospects in a big world wide theater.
This is where the Internet Marketing comes in and you will have to
learn how, where, what and when to advertise.
This can be an expensive activity.
While you are learning, I strongly support and suggest using the
S-Builder and PSAs to Go to build your PSA team.

The new Bid and Build Program is a nice plus to
bid in PB auctions and a way to gain additional PSAs.
These prospects will be of a higher quality than using other forms of
advertising such as Free Classifieds, PPC.
Social site marketing takes time to generate followers and trust.

Now, the best option to maximize what you know and have learned is
where you think you can generate the most traffic.
That would be having your own website or blog (or both), Social Media,
PPC, Free Classifieds, Traffic exchanges, Safelists, local media,
one on one contact or Emails.

If you are not sure, learn and try them all. Start with Free Classifieds,
learn about the Text Ads, use pictures and Banners.
Work you way up as you learn and become more familiar.
Some of us settle on one or two avenues of building our business,
others branch out and use most or all.

The SFI Opportunity places all options at your fingertips!
