SFI provides 98 marketing methods and 198 marketing aids.Selecting the best method and aid is a tedious process through trial and error. The effectiveness of these methods and aids depend on the target markets and the vehicle I use to deliver contents of these methods and aids.

I prefer to use advertising to promote SFI business to get more affiliates to join me to build up my team. Having a good active team is a pillar of success. This is my top priority in my sponsoring activity.

I select my favorite gateway, http://www.sfi4.com/xxxxxxxx/FREE as an entry point to my SFI website. It is 'real' , nice, compact and showing the current growth of SFI.

Pick the most appropriate text aid for the target market. The text should be concise, reasonably short and striking that attract the attentions of the target groups. Most advertising websites prefer limited number of words in the text aid

Similarly, I pick the most striking and attractive banner that tell the main story of SFI business. I choose 468 x 60 size banner as most advertisers prefer this size.

Using the two methods in advertising will definitely convey the same message - a call to actions.
I promote my SFI business through free, classified and paid websites that have bigger and wider coverage.

I have a life custom prestige domain which really helps to recruit more affiliates and promoting both SFI and tripleclicks business.

All the marketing tools out there are good if used properly and then be patient to get results. And should be used regularly.

The best and more fruitful I found for me is to meet people personally around me. They include my family members, friends, colleagues and other people I meet. I introduce them SFI/TC by:

1. Talking to them and giving them some presentation on my mobile if they have some time.

2. While talking to them I judge their interest, time & ability and introduce them accordingly:
a) If they are young and love games, I introduce them Zebra Games and auctions.
b) If they are business minded, I introduce them TripleClicks and ECA Program.
c) Normally, I introduce them SFI, its benefits and convince them to spare time & learn.

3. Giving them TC Gift Card with some introduction, how to use and its value.
4. I visit local businesses, provide them ECA brochure and my free service to guide them.

If they show quick interest, I recruit them instantly by using their mobiles/tablets/laptops or nearby Internet Cafe. I guide them enough to proceed, provide them my contacts and take their contacts.

Working this way is best and gets better results because they are in my area, making it easy to:

1. Guide and motivate them easily face to face.
2. Making it feel like a friendship atmosphere by inviting them to restaurants etc.
3. Giving them some reasonable gifts to motivate them.
4. Follow them wisely until they are up and running on their own.

Personally I think your blog would be the best way to build your SFI business.

Why?

Your blog should be your "hub," where you can write interesting and valuable posts about SFI. Your topics can include:

1. Why you like the business
2. Why it's important to you
3. How you can help your readers get started
4. Focus on different sections and talk about them in your own words
5. Talk about how SFI has helped you

If you do videos about SFI, you can embed them into your blog. And you can place a variety of SFI and TC banners strategically around your blog.

You can set up an email newsletter and get subscribers. Then you can email them newsletters and spotlight one of the aspects of SFI.

In my opinion, once you've finished your Daily To-List, the first place you should go is to your blog and start writing. Then you share your blog posts on several of the top social media sites like LinkedIn, Pinterest, StumbleUpon, Tumblr and Google+.

Repeat the social media sharing with your videos too.

Your blog should be the top priority for reaching new subscribers who can then be marketed to and eventually added to your SFI team.

Your blog has worldwide reach! And it is The Best marketing tool you can have at your disposal for building your team.

SFI/TripleClicks is a “multiple streams of income” business

There are 9 (nine) sections in the Marketing Center.

https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/MarketingCenter

Each section is made up of tens of marketing methods and aids, all of which are “marketing tools”.

A “marketing tool” is just that: a tool. It all depends on how we intend to use the tool, what is our end result. Are we sponsoring business opportunity prospects? Are we targeting store owners to join TripleClicks.com as E-Commerce Associates (ECAs)? Are we trying to bring in online gamers?

The best “marketing tool for your business building will vary depending on the answers.

The value of the “Multiple Streams of Income” business model is time tested for both offline mega corporations and online business empires that are now being built throughout the internet.
Further, as a testimony to the quality of the SFI approach, it is being copied all over. But few, if any, come close to what we are being offered as SFI affiliates.

Will one single “marketing tool” help us reap all the potential income of these vast opportunities? Will you approach your warm market (family, friends, co-workers) the same way you would to any online business prospect?

To illustrate the importance of these questions, let’s look at TripleClicks.com.

We can earn sizeable commissions selling TripleClicks Direct. In how many niches markets can we sell? If you take one single product such as the “Peak Nutrition Thermo Burn” (item # 5913), you will find the associated keywords: Diet Fitness Health Nutrition Supplement Thermo.
Another Item No: 183348 is the Silver76Pack-Silver Bar (1 Ounce) + 75 Tcredits, with the keywords Ounce Silver Metal Mint.

Each keyword leads to its own market niche.

Other markets are for referring E-Commerce Affiliates (ECAs), and/or selling other ECAs’ products. Additional TripleClicks sources of income open up when we fully take advantage of our membership by setting up our own stores or listing our personal items.

Similarly, if we look at the Eager Zebra (EZ) games as source of revenues (as we should), we will realize that they are keys to multiple target markets. The same goes for Pricebenders (PB), where new products are added on a regular basis for auctioning.

Just very recently, TripleClicks reached the important milestone of 4 million members. And, it is fair to say that this is just the beginning. We have also been made aware, in a forum comment, two days ago, that works are under way to redesign the entire website in and out. All this tells us that TripleClicks is poised to grow much more: in membership, in product offerings, and in its ability to cater to an ever larger worldwide clientele.

This is opening unlimited possibilities for affiliates.

Every SFI affiliate who fully understands the extent of wealth they can build with SFI would not consider neglecting any of the SFI major avenues for growing their revenues.

Trying to single out one “best” marketing tool is tantamount to ignoring the nature of our business. Undoubtedly, as already discussed above, one single marketing tool would hardly be adequately efficient to successfully sponsor Affiliates, sell at TripleClicks.com, grow our own online store, invite online gamers to the EZ games, promote the PB auctions, develop a team of ECAs, and help us earn additional income with the SFI PPA.

We should not be focusing on one single marketing tool. Instead, we should be focusing on multiple marketing tools that will help us build strategies for reaching every niche market where we can find home business prospects, TripleClicks.com customers, online gamers and penny auction bidders.

With this goal in mind, let’s get the word out.

Let’s maximize the impact of our online presence, and our activities in online business groups and forums. Let’s also supplement our social media marketing with a blog or a website. Let’s link then all together. Let’s use each SFI marketing tool and method for the products it was intended for within this integrated approach to successfully reach their potential customers.

This is a good question. It depends on your budget. If you are going for free marketing tools you can go for free classified. It is little bit hard work everyday need to spend 2 hours.

1. If you advertise in 50 classified everyday it would be 30x50 =1500 classified in one month
1500x12=18000 classifieds in one year. You can get 10,000 to 20,000 affiliates in one year where you can find 1% active affiliates around 100 affiliates and can find 5 active EA2 enough to build a downline.

2. Email marketing buy emails from reputed companies or email provider B2B marketing where you can invest to get list of emails and send them everyday around 10,000 to 1 million emails you can send in one day. 1% sign up can be possible around 100 to 1000 sign up possible its little of luck factor.

3. Safelist registration where you can find other members free or paid both kinds of safelists are there. You can send emails , banner advertising, solo advertising can also bring sign ups everyday. It is also depending on your budget and your free time.

4. If you are really working and have some business and you have no time to promote SFI you can pay some money to marketing company every month and they will help you to send emails to limited or unlimited emails which is called bulk email marketing where you can get sign ups everyday.

5. After sign up we should contact every affiliate individual email one bye one to welcome them or team mail also good to make a good communication every week at least once to twice to encourage them and their hard work and devote time for SFI.

6. All these are hard work and really great efforts for the promotion of SFI and Tripleclicks. Now online businesses are really competitive if we need success we must reach millions of people every month to tell about SFI. Marketing method says that if we reach 100 people 1 people will sign up and if we tell 1000 people 10 people will sign up. So there are two things need to remember that sign up and continue communication with the new PSAs who does not understand SFI business. Advertisement and training both are there to market SFI if one is present and another not there we can not success easily. So we must work hard to find active affiliates to build a successful business of SFI.

7. Also Facebook, twitter, LinkedIn, QQ, Skype, We chat, Viral marketing, traffic exchange yahoo, msn, forum, blogs, everywhere we must spread SFI and Tripleclicks . We just need to copy and paste the link and done. Millions of advertisements will definite bring 1% success or 2% success which could create a good monthly income.

8. If you are really ambitious and want to success in online business you must devote yourself 2 to 5 hours everyday with SFI. If you are really serious and really want to achieve something you must promote SFI and Tripleclicks.

you can write your daily activity in MSworkd or Excel sheet and write the date and remarks and follow up to the next date and you will find the result.
Hope this answer is helpful .

As SFI business owner, do you know the types of marketing tools available to grow your business? Knowing them and understanding each one of them will help you identify which one could be effective in building your business.

Some marketing tools are designed to generate leads for your SFI business, drive sales and customer traffic for promoting TC products/services, while other tools are used for gathering customer/prospect data. The key is deciding which marketing tools you need to accomplish your primary objectives. Often, you will use several different marketing tools simultaneously.

The best marketing tools for your SFI business will depend on the following points:

- Your goals, which include short and long term goals. You need to align your marketing tools with your goals to ensure success.

- Your time frame. How much time are you going to invest to establish the growth and momentum of your SFI business leading to your long term goal?

- What kind of budget are you going to commit consistently for your marketing campaign?

Let’s say, you set a goal to sponsor 50 affiliates per month or better find 5 to 10 affiliates who exhibit the qualities of entrepreneurship and duplicate your skills. What marketing tools do you need to accomplish this goal?

There are series of steps involved before you can identify the best marketing tools for your SFI business and come up close to your primary goals:

- You need to brand yourself.

Developing your personal brand is similar to product branding. The overall goal with branding is to differentiate yourself in the market so you can attain your objectives. The process includes defining your brand and brand attributes, positioning your brand in a different way than your competitors and then managing all aspects of your personal brand.

- Establish your presence on the web.

Without web presence, you’ll be missing key opportunities to grow your SFI business. A website is the modern equivalent of a business card. But becoming a recognizable name on the Internet takes more than just finding a place to list your contact info. Building a web presence takes time, effort and persistence. It’s important to build your online presence so that your prospects will find you, interact with you, get to know, like and trust you.

The above steps provide the essential ground for launching your marketing campaign effectively.

To identify the best marketing tool, you have to employ keycodes and Hit Tracking in your advertising effort for the following types of marketing tools:

- Traditional Media

Traditional media which include billboards, banners, newspapers, magazines, television, radio and telephone directories involve marketing tools such as paid print advertisements, commercials and news releases. This approach focuses on a one-way promotion push and relies on reaching high numbers of people to ensure success. Advertising through this marketing tool can be costly and it is highly recommended to take your marketing budget into consideration before committing to this method.

- Digital Media

Computer software technology can reach potential prospects with targeted, measurable communications. Specific digital media marketing tools include search engine optimization, mobile marketing, interactive online advertisements, and opt-in email. A key component of digital marketing tools is Web analytics, which provide information on an Internet user's online activities, IP address and search keywords. To engage in digital media marketing, you can hire digital media marketing agencies or utilize software as a service application.

- Social Media

Social media marketing is a subset of digital media marketing. However, the goal of social media marketing tools is to develop an interactive, online relationship with the prospect rather than to mine covertly for prospect data. Specific examples of social media marketing tools include blogging, tweeting, posting, sharing, networking, pinning, bookmarking, media sharing and commenting on social media websites such as Twitter, Facebook, Orkut, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Reddit and YouTube.

- Promotional Items

Promotional items, such as ECA brochures, SFI/Eager Zebra/TripleClicks X-cards, Wave3 kits, TC Gift Cards and Wearables (Eager Zebra/SFI/TripleClicks T-Shirts) are tangible marketing tools. Some of these items include large amounts of detailed information and highlight attributes of the product or service; X-cards may display a company logo and provide contact information. In addition to increasing sales/sign ups, promotional items contribute to building brand awareness, but cost is a factor when selecting these items.

Rosafilipina;

The best marketing tool for me might not be the optimum one for you to use because we all have different strengths and weaknesses. Allow me to offer several examples to show you precisely what I mean and to give you a choice for you to choose your own best marketing tool.

1. Some people are very social and gregarious. For those individuals, the social networks would provide the ideal venue to market successfully. A good marketing tool for people with a large or loyal following on twitter, facebook or other is the deal of the day found on your TC tab. I click that 'share button' everyday so I don't just get a Vpoint, I also get the message out to my friends and followers.

2. Some people are able to focus in and perform monotonous tasks like clicking Traffic Exchange links. For those persons, and I confess to being one, the beneficial tools from SFI could be the various gateway pages at https://www.sfimg.com/MyAccount/GatewayList . The best tip I can suggest for you is to find some good TE sites and then upgrade so you get the best bang for your buck to use vernacular instead of calling it what it is in getting the highest return of hit credits for your clicks.

3. Other affiliates may be artistic or talented in creating attractive websites. I'll also toss in here that an affiliate may be a fluent writer with interesting opinions to blog about. In this instance the best tool or marketing weapon in the SFI arsenal might be the marketing aids section. https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/MarketingCenter Make sure you go though and check off some of your favorites to save having to page through all of them over and over to find the ones you like.

4. Your SFI business strategy might be rooted in the bricks and mortar world and in that instance either tripleclicks X cards or gift cards might be the golden ticket to marketing success.

These are just 4 examples and I haven't even mentioned the ECA program. My point is that SFI has some wonderful tool for an array of marketing strategies and the affiliates under you might even end up 'duplicating' in a completely different way.

Thanks for this question.

Before trying to understand which is the best marketing tool, first of all let's know what is marketing:

One definition of Marketing is:

" Marketing is the wide range of activities involved in making sure that you're continuing to meet the needs of your customers and getting value in return. Marketing is usually focused on one product or service.

2. Thus, a marketing plan for one product might be very different than that for another product.

3. Marketing activities include "inbound marketing," such as market research to find out, for example, what groups of potential customers exist, what their needs are, which of those needs you can meet, how you should meet them, etc.

4. "Outbound marketing" includes promoting a product through continued advertising, promotions, public relations and sales."

It is purely based on these, that SFI had brought so many things like:

a) Marketing Aids &
b) Marketing Methods

which we all can read & understand by visiting "Marketing" in our Home Page.

The Aids for SFI include:

1. Banners;
2. Wearables;
3. Car Magnets;
4. Post Card; &
5. X-Card;

and For TC

1. X-Card;
2. Wearables;
3. Gift Card; &
4. Car Magnet

And the Marketing Method explains about 31 and 36 ways respectively by which the same can be promoted to build the Business.

For promoting SFI, please:

1. Read;
2. Understand the 31 methods very clearly explained; &
3. Realize, every method is designed with "specifics in mind" by SFI.

Conclusion:

1. All these are nothing but a form of "Advertising";
2. Who are your Target Group?
3. Identify the People/Their Locality/Region/Culture/Buying Pattern, etc;
4. Select the appropriate Method from these 31 & promote it vigorously through correct means
or modes of advertising;

6. You will be able to build your SFI Business slowly, steadily and surely.
