If you want your SFI business to thrive, you’ll need to continually advertise - to expose your SFI business opportunity to great number of people interested.

You have stated that you’re not satisfied with your advertising results. Before taking any course of action, you need to consider the following questions:

- Do you have a marketing plan?

- Do you have a marketing strategy in place?

By considering the questions above, you’ll get an insight about the essential elements of a successful marketing campaign.

Let us explore what are the possible reasons why your advertising isn’t providing satisfactory results.

- Do you have a specific target?

The most important step in the process of planning a marketing campaign is defining your audience. Who do you want to attract? The more narrowly you can define your target who will benefit from your offer (SFI business opportunity), the better results you will get.

- Do you have value proposition?

To get your message right, think about the target audience you have identified and stand in their shoes. What are the problems that they face and how can you help? What value can you deliver to help them solve their problem?

- Have you considered engaging your prospects with “Call to Action”?

Don't leave the conversation without offering more to those who are interested. A call to action helps you identify the prospects that need more attention. Give your prospects a reason to ask for more information. Case studies, whitepapers, videos, webinars and any other educational content that you can offer are all great calls to action. Asking them to call you for more information is not.

- How do you deliver your marketing message?

How are you going to deliver the message to your target audience? There is no right or wrong here, and using more than one method is always better (commonly referred to as multi-touch marketing). Different people respond to different types of contact. Include e-mail, snail-mail, Web advertising, social avenues like LinkedIn or professional organizations, and even traditional advertising in your list of options.

- Is “Follow-Up” a part of your marketing campaign?

Your campaign is only as good as your follow-up. Just like you, your prospects are busy and get hundreds of marketing messages each day. You need to continue the dialogue with them until they opt out.

You should test and analyze your advertising campaign to maximize results. There are probably a lot of things that you should be doing. It is far more important to keep marketing going than it is to make it perfect.

Pay attention to the response that you get in terms of the vehicles and the message. Track as much as you can, but don't stop because you aren't getting the results you expected. If you have a good message targeted to the right prospects and keep the dialogue going, you will connect with them.

Marketing campaign planning isn't just for big marketing departments. Work through these steps and you'll have the pieces in place for an effective campaign. Most importantly, keep it going. There is no magic marketing technique that will get you tons of new affiliates in a month, but persistence will pay off.

Here’s what you need to do:

Your advertising campaign can set you apart from the crowd and attract the most qualified prospects, if you follow the following steps:

1. Identify the target audience

2. Determine your marketing objectives

3. Establish your budget

4. Go to Marketing Center for list of advertising messages.

5. Select your media

6. Evaluate your advertising campaign

Conclusion:

The mark of a good marketing strategy is not how many gadgets and neologisms are crammed into it, but how effectively it achieves worthy goals. Therefore, how you define your intent will have a profound impact on whether you succeed or fail.

Marketing is a process that requires continuous evolution of methods and strategies. If one particular approach seems to be ineffective you need to switch immediately to another one with certain inferences that you draw as a base.

You should consider few things that directly relate to your advertisement and its campaign. Here you need to address the following questions.

1. Is your advertisement directed towards a specific group that you want to target?
2. Have you prepared your advertisement including the required elements to attract the targeted segment?
3. Is your advertisement placed on the right medium which would result in success of the efforts you are taking?
4. Is your method of monitoring of result set in the right manner to gauge them?

If you are doing the above mentioned correctly, the results would definitely be better and you would achieve the level of success you want to with your advertisements.

Good day Mr Sasa,

Nice question asked and i hope my answer would be useful.

Cases where your initial advertisement are not working effectively, you can do the following

1. Try (2) unit of SFI builder or PSA 2 GO for at least 6 months to get at least 5 active PSA.

2. Try paid advertisement and free ones in different places that you have not tried before and put codes at the end to note the ones that are most successful.

3. Usually tell relations and family members as it has worked for me being the best as it gives me room for a proper follow up and also aware of their financial pockets.

4. Use of gift cards to be given to collegues at work, informing them of the importance of shopping on tripleclicks.

5. Let your sponsor or co sponsor know about your challenges on recruitment and trust me, they would be willing to assist you anyway possible.

6. Keep posting on Facebook, twitter. You could still get some PSAs from there as well.

Finally, never give up.

All The very best Sasa

I'm sure you've heard of the old adage that reads 'Don't put all your eggs into one basket.' This is sage advice for all of your investments and the money you put into advertising is no exception. You need to spread your advertising dollar around and then track the results.

1. Many people think they will get the best deals by doing it by themselves. They say that the lawyer that represents himself has a fool for a client. Perhaps you might put some of your seed capital into a coop where a dispassionate professional is managing the advertising buys. Buying units in the S-builder coop has worked well for me and perhaps it will be good for you too.

2. If you're disappointed with Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising you've done, don't just turn your back on it. You can try going to a different program or perhaps you're better off simply refining your ads better. Closely examine what your competition is doing. If it is working for them then perhaps you can do something similar but different enough to be your original idea.

3. Step back to look at the broader picture of precisely what you want your advertising to do and who you want to target so you can focus down tighter to meet your objectives.

4. I can't stress this one enough. You NEED to track your results and be ready to 'roll out' and go big where you're getting profitable results.

Unsatisfactory results in advertising are usually the result of over-spending after under-evaluating. Make your media buys small in scale until you've got your message tweaked to where it is effective and THEN run with it.

First get yourself a notebook, or for those who like to keep everything on their computer, organise a folder on your computer. I find a notebook is best as you can have it next to yourself at your computer and it is easily read and consulted.

- Make a list of where you are advertising.
- Make a list of the wording of your ads and where you are placing them
- Make sure that EVERY ad has a different KeyCode.

Log all of this information with a separate column for comments. In the comments column you can make notes such as how many visits you have had, how many signups etc.

Now evaluate the information and decrease advertising where it is not bringing in the desired results and increase the better advertising.

You can also evaluate whether paid or free advertising is bringing in the best traffic and signups and whether you are getting better traffic and signups from one country over another.

All of this information needs to be compiled and sorted. You can then just choose from a couple of advertisements which are doing reasonably well and concentrate your efforts in this area.

Your advertising should always be a work in progress. As such, it will need to be checked for progress routinely, adjusted as needed for better results.

Be sure to use keycodes with your advertising so you can tell which ads/sites are producing the best results for you.

Create new ads if necessary, try new ad sites or physical locations. Create blogs, your own domain, etc., then advertise them on the social media sites. By advertising them on social media, you can send interested people to your new sites, then send them to SFI/TC. This way, no one blocks your ads.

Rotate your ads to different locations, see if they do better in the new location.

Hope these ideas get your inventiveness stirring!!:))...

Dear JONJEVIC

Basically advertising is of two types:

Paid and Free.

It is a myth to think that only paid advertising works and free advertising does not work. Only one needs to track one’s advertising to see where its working and where it does not work. After getting that information post your ads where they work the most.

Some suggested methods of paid/free advertising are as follows:

Use social media networks to advise your SFI/TC gateways. Connect with other members and make friendship with them. Good relations go a long way. Promise them your continuous help/support and guide to build their business if they join you. People do not join business; they join people behind the business.

Second method is to use Safe List advertising. You can choose 5-6 good safe list. In the beginning be a free member and after you have earned some income and gained some experience, upgrade your account to post more ads more frequently.

Thirdly use some 5-6 good Traffic Exchange website and load your splash pages of SFI/TC gateways and surf for 40-60 minutes a day. If you do not want to surf much upgrade your membership or buy extra credits to advertise your business gateway links.
Hope it helps you

Success to you Sasa

Have a nice day !!

Einstein said "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."

If you are not satisfied with your results, take action to change something.
Some ideas are:

- Advertise more! Maybe you're just not advertising enough.

- Re-word your adverts. Don't speak ABOUT the business, speak TO the person. Appeal to an emotion, such as "How would it feel if you could choose your own hours so you never had to miss another important event in your child's life?", "Are you worried your pension won't be enough to live on when you retire?"

- Make adverts more attractive, perhaps by using eye-catching images.

- Advertise in different places.

-Track your adverts using Key Codes and the Hit Tracking tool so you can see which adverts work better than others. Use the results to target your advertising better.

- Advertise on social media at different times of the day.

A 'golden nugget' I picked up at a business seminar several years ago is "If you always do what you always did, you'll always get what you always got".

Thanks for this question.

In fact, this is the problem most of us face here.

We have so many free Websites, social media etc to advertise. Unfortunately,

1. Either we do not get satisfactory response;
2. Or We get so many sign ups. But, the quality of sign up is no good at all.

But this business demands that we keep advertising and promoting and keep getting more and more sign ups. So, keep advertising continuously and communicating regularly with all your new sign ups. Even if you get one strong and active affiliate under you, it will do a world of good for business.

The alternative is, to go with PSAs to GO, S-Builder Co-Op or TripleClicks Auctions for PSAs. These too have their own plus and minus. But the consolation point is that many of the top leaders in SFI have all emerged through these methods and it gives confidence for us to adopt and place orders or take part in Auctions.

In my experience, word of mouth is the best advertising to promote SFI business.

Every opportunity we get, we should speak about this business with our Family Members, Relatives, Friends, neighbors, colleagues, some what known people, and strangers too when we do a stroll around the park or beach etc.

The response may or may not be quick. But if we keep repeating our dialogues certainly we can get good results and quality sign ups.

Conclusion:

Without losing heart for not getting satisfactory results against your advertising, move on with more and more advertising and optimism for better results. The important thing, keep moving and keep on moving!!

Hi,
advertising is the key to determining the success or failure of a business online or off line it. It is crucial that when preparing an ad campaign you to keep in mind that you're working for the people who have the same interests, wants and needs. When preparing a campaign, then, ask yourself: "What are they looking for? What are their needs? What are their needs? ".
Once you have identified these issues, you can start your campaign with the help these good rules that I have selected for you:

1) Remember that it is easier to sell a product back to those who have already bought from you, rather than finding a new customer. Consider, then, that 70% of your investment should be made to re-sell to existing customers, and only 30% to get new ones. Use the mailing list to recontact users and make their offerings so they can boosting customer loyalty even more.

2) Sell only to those interested in your products and especially those who have the money to pay them, do not lower your prices for them. If you want to put something in the promotion, rather, try adding something: as a complementary product free.

3) The best way to get new customers is to let him test your product. So, instead of spending money for the advertising, do so appreciate your product by offering the chance to try it for free.

4) Find out what your product is appreciated by customers. This allows you to focus precisely on that aspect at a time when you will begin to move into your promotional campaign.

5) Remember to give more complete information possible about the product that you want to sell, or about your business. The more information that you know to give the customer, the more you'll know ingolosirlo and encourage him, and most likely you'll have to sell your product.

6) Monitors always the results of your advertising campaign. This advice applies to all activities, so you can always have an eye on what works and what does not work and may decide not to use certain means.

7) Do not try to make sure that your ad campaign is beautiful. No need to be beautiful, it needs to be effective. And to be effective you have to make sure that it is especially persuasive through the words you will use to it. Make sure they are persuasive, they are exciting and they go straight to the point. So you can be sure to obtain concrete results in terms of sales and earnings.

8) Remember to always include the testimonials from satisfied customers. This will allow you to increase your credibility, and if it increases your credibility, increase proportionately your customers.

9) Try to use different types of advertising campaigns and testale. Please try advertising on Google, try the test with flyers or e-mails. And back three points higher in this article, that monitors the results. See which campaigns pull more customers and in what areas. Diversification can be a solution if you realize that a product has more feedback with a campaign rather than another.

10) Do not listen too much to the opinions of others: people always talk so much, but then the facts? They have achieved success with their advertising campaigns? They have provided tangible evidence of their results? Remember that it is important that you trust only the results that have monitored, "paper and sings the words fly," the saying goes, and these are always right.

These 10 golden rules for advertising have been used by many people and they worked: you can utilizzarne some or all, but above all be guided by your experience and your results. A successful advertising is one that is made for a good product, but if a product is invalid even advertising best in the world will not be useful.

Invest primarily on yourself, on your ideas, and then on advertising. Do not do the opposite, customers will only realize it.

And all these rules apply even more to look for new affiliates, because the 'affiliate is the first customer.

Good day off and I hope I have helped you.
