An effective personal website for your SFI business is probably one of the biggest aspects of your online presence. It is far more effective in communicating to your potential prospects about your SFI business.

Here are important points to consider in creating an effective website for SFI:

- Depending on your budget you can make some financial investment upfront to hire professionals, who can point you in the right direction and can help you maintain an effective web presence for years to come.

- Choose a designer carefully and check out sites he/she has done before. Make sure to communicate to him/her your plan for the organization and content of your personal website for SFI and spell out clearly what you want each page to do.

- Make your SFI business easy to find online by picking a web address that’s easy to remember. You can purchase a short domain name that closely relates to your SFI business. If the ideal dot-com name isn’t available, you can select one of the newer domain suffixes such as dot-biz.

- Make your site rich in content. Determine the most important question that your target audience wants answered, what attracts visitors to your site and keep them coming back, etc. are important component that you shouldn’t miss.

- The more useful information and compelling content you provide the more visits your site will receive. I’m referring to words, headings, or images that induce visitors to interact with your site.

- You can make your content compelling in a number ways by providing a call to action, such as Click Here, explain how the prospect benefits by clicking a link and exploring your site (“Earn a Welcome Cash/Welcome TCredits by clicking here.”), briefly and concisely state your SFI business and its mission, etc.

- Don’t forget the personal touch. Anything you can tell about yourself helps to personalize the process and put your prospects at ease. The key is, let your prospects know that they’re dealing with real people, not remote machines and computer programs.

- Provide your contact information. Don’t forget to include your email and phone number. Do your best to respond quickly to all your prospect’s inquiries.

- Make your website a go-to resource. You can make your website not only a place for signing up prospects for your SFI business but also indispensable resources full of useful hyperlinks and other information so your prospects will want to visit again and again.

Conclusion:

A well-designed personal website for SFI in place should include all of the amazing content to make it compelling for your prospects to sign up. It doesn’t have to be fancy or include all of the latest in website design and technology (and really, it shouldn’t), it just has to accomplish a few major things.

All in all, it should leave a great first impression. Your content will help the cause, but before the content is even consumed people are going to make snap judgements about your brand and the website based on the design, and you want that judgement to be favorable.

A clean website that’s easy to navigate through and isn’t too overwhelming (i.e. too many options, and especially advertisements) is what you should be aiming for.

The branding elements including your logo, your tagline and any other graphical elements on the site should make it easy for new visitors to understand why the site exists and why they should stick around. Remember, people will be approaching your website asking themselves, “Why am I here and what’s in it for me?”

And lastly, you’ll want to make it incredibly easy for visitors to do the following:

1. Read your content.

2. Subscribe to your email list.

3. Share your content.

4. Leave comments.

Hi there ! Here are some tips
1. LOGO
Your logo is usually the first thing a user sees
2. TAGLINE
Once the user sees who owns the website, they’ll want to know what it is you do. This is where you explain what you do with a tagline. Your tagline should be short and snappy, summarizing what you do.
3. SERVICES
Your tagline summed up what you do, but you’ll want to go into a bit more detail here about each service that you offer. You can’t expect potential clients to guess what you do based on your portfolio, and you don’t want to leave them wondering whether you offer a particular service or not.
Make it clear, and break it down

4. ABOUT ME
It’s all about you. Let people see the man or woman behind the mask (i.e. website). Share your background, where you came from, how many years you’ve been in the business, etc. The more details you give, the better your users can form a bond and build trust with you.
If you’re not camera-shy, show a picture of yourself. This will give potential clients peace of mind by allowing them to see who they’re dealing with, and it adds an element of trust.
Don’t be afraid to show off your awards and recognition here. You want people to know you’re good at what you do.

5. CONTACT
This is one of the most important elements of a portfolio website but is often hidden or even neglected. A potential client has browsed your website, is impressed with your portfolio and can see who you are. Now they want to hire you.
Your contact information should be obvious and easy to access; don’t hide it in the footer. Let people know they can contact you for a quote or a chat. Use a form to make it easier for users to contact you (so that they don’t have to take down your email address and then open up their email manager). A form also allows you to ask for specific information, such as name, email address, website URL, details of inquiry.

6. BLOG
A blog is always a good idea. Blog about your area of expertise; show you know what you’re talking about. It will help promote you and prevent your website from lying static

9. USE SOCIAL NETWORKING

Now that people have an interest in you and your work, encourage them to follow you on other websites. Make it clear that they can follow you on Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, LinkedIn, etc. Make the most of social networks and have a group of friends to call on if needed.

Let people know where you’re from. This is always interesting to know, and some clients prefer to work with people nearby or in the same time zone.
I HOPE YOU FIND HELP HERE
GOOD LUCK

William you basically have 2 options available to you, creating a web site for FREE or pay someone to create one for you. My suggestion is that when you are first starting out you should take the first option, create one for free, and there are several programs on the internet that will allow you to do that. A couple of years ago I created my personal website using Weebly, and this site still serves me well, despite it costing me absolutely nothing. The only real difference to using a free web site creator like Weebly is that if you don't upgrade then you must leave 'weebly' in the web address.

Weebly is an easy to use system that any novice can use, and it is actually quite fun playing around and creating your own site. You have total control over it's layout and content, and you can change anything at any time very easily. You can add as many pages as you want, include a blog and a contact page, just the same as a paid web site, so I see this as a very good option for SFI newbies.

I have other sites with Weebly that I created, but I paid a little extra to have the 'weebly' removed from the web address, the only reason I did that is to make those sites look a little more professional, which it does. But at the end of the day your web address is just that, it is only an address, and you can actually cloak that to a shorter address using a program like 'Tiny URL' or similar, so you don't even see the 'weebly' anywhere.

If I can give you a couple of very important tips when creating your own site:
1. Keep your site fresh with all the latest SFI updates
2. Keep your site visually appealing but easy to navigate around.

Good luck, I hope you have a lot of fun creating your new site...

Thanks for this question.

When you create a personal website, please take care of the following:

1. It provides details that satisfies the immediate needs of people visiting your website;

2. If clear details are not provided, you won't get any fresh sign ups.

3. Design is important; But equally important is whether the design supports your expected
performance.

4. You should provide clear contact details so that two way communication is possible.

5. You can give brief details about Pricebenders Auction, ECA, etc so that the visitor will be
encouraged to initiate a conversation. This will be quite beneficial in growing your business.

6. Show your willingness to share details of SFI, your performance, etc.

A personal SFI Affiliate website will be very effective when it is instrumental in sponsoring new sign-ups, helping sell TripleClicks products and services as well as referring ECAs and PRMs. In addition, it could also be a promotion tool for the Pricebenders auctions and the Eager Zebra games.

The best way to get such results is to keep the website well organized, simple, easy to read, while providing enough information to the visitor to learn about SFI, its major selling points and it income potential both in terms of monthly commissions and residual income, without making any claims of specific earning figures.

Thus, after you make it clear that this is your personal website, it could include sections on:
- the benefits of being an SFI affiliate
- the TripleClicks store
- TripleClicks membership and benefits
- ECA enrollment
- Pricebenders Auctions
- Eager Zebra Games

Each one of these section should have a gateway for registration to SFI/TripleClicks. Your prospects should be aware that if they sign through these gateways, they will be joining the official SFI and will be members of this registered business which is the SFI Marketing Group, part of Carson Services.

Other additions to the above basics could help interact with visitors and nurture potential prospects who are still on the fence.

To these prospects, you may want to offer gift cards after they have left their personal information (email addresses, phone numbers) through your squeeze pages. If they redeem the gift cards, you will have them as TripleClicks members. You will have the opportunity to take them further into signing up for SFI as well.

Achieving the above results will make your website very effective.

I see lots of answers telling you to create a website about SFI with the same details the SFI website has on it, and aim to brand SFI with it.

That's one way to go if you want to limit your business to people who are looking for more information about SFI but have not already joined under the affiliate that first showed them SFI. Fact is 99% of the people who search SFI Affiliates, Strong Future International, How to promote SFI, are all current affiliates looking for additional training and they will eat up the training you put out and use it to compete with you.

That's the facts of how search engine marketing works, and home business competition.

On the other hand the people looking for home business in general are not searching for specific programs, they are looking for things like, " How to start a business online" and "What type of Home Business is Best" and these are people you can mold through education into future SFI affiliates.

For even more immediate results you can target those already looking at affiliate marketing or network marketing, not MLM by using search terms and post titles like "The best retail affiliate program" and "Network Marketing Companies Then and Now". This targets people in our two main industries which are 1, retail affiliate program, and 2 network marketing or team building of sellers not customers below you.

Your site should only briefly mention SFI if at all. Fact is Google is now penalizing sites for the SFI4 links and probably a few others because of so many spammers who have spoiled those links for honest affiliates. I had to take down my external promotions for SFI and switch to TripleClicks links and move SFI to my newsletter and free reports because the SFI4 URLs got my Google Adwords account suspended and my Adsense went from 80 cents a click to 4 cents to 50 cents a click as the site was throttled and no longer offered to the majority of advertisers.

If you make a site 100% about SFI you will spend more money and more time to promote it than if you promote a regular home business blog and add SFI to a free report for your newsletter.

The best way to create an effective personal webisite for SFI is to build your site with the goal in mind. Is your site for branding, ecommerce, information, lead generation, or entertainment? I highly recommend that you go to www.google.com/webmasters and use all of their free tools to seo your site. You can use the free google analytics tools to track how your site is performing and tweak elements as needed for improvements. Google has an exhaustive library of videos and tuturials to include forum community of webmasters. Anything you need to know about the web trust me Google know it!

Google is not the only option though. There are plenty of free services online that will assist you in building a good site. Just use Google again to search for free website builders and choose wisely as all free tools are not equal and some are better than others. I have numerous web properties and I use Google to build my web presence. For me, this is the best option.

The manner in which you can create an effective personal website for SFI will depend on your approach to sales and promotion:

* An ECA can effectively use a personal website as a promotional tool for his or her store, driving people to TripleClicks for the final sale.

* A blogger can focus on his or her interests, promoting TripleClicks products that relate to them, or in the case of a "business opportunities" blogger, promoting SFI as a primary interest of value.

* A personal site can be used as a "magnet" to draw people in to signing up either directly to SFI or TripleClicks or to get people to sign up for a mailing list that can, in turn, promote on opt-in.

All three of these approaches are used quite effectively to create internet income, but you do not have to limit yourself--the nice thing about the Internet is that your creativity is the only limit.
