Good day Zoran,

SFI has alot of resources that can build our team without much stress as the main purpose of SFI resources is to build a team with the Power of Duplication.

That said, using other resources would aid in building a team both locally and Internationally.

Resources that can be used includes:-

1. Social Media like facebook, twitter etc.

2. Personal websites or blogs promoting SFI products.

3. Email.

4. Google AdWords advertisement.

5. Using paid and free sites.

6. By word of mouth.

7. By using traffic exchanges to drive traffic to your personal websites.

These are just some of the resources you can use to build a team. Considering them indepth, you would need some tracking codes on the advertisement to know which one works and how to utilise it effectively.

1. Social Media:- Using social media like Facebook, you can create a page and display some of SFI products for people to like and sign up. Advertising on Facebook, attract prospects from far and wide at little or no cost. In my opinion, this is very good as you have the opportunity liaising, chatting and talking to International propects.

2. Personal websites or blogs promoting SFI products:- With the help of your personal websites that is usually updated regularly displaying SFI products with our affiliates link, will attract more PSAs /PRM. The product displayed on our personal website/blog is dependent on what customers we are trying to attract. For instance, Health products for the elderly, Toys for children etc. Regardless of the product displayed, we are looking for prospects, income, and building a formidable team.

3. Email:- Email marketing is quite good, cheaper amd economical. With email marketing, you are already creating an avenue in communicating immediately with our prospects. With effective communication, we have created room for questions by prospects to ask and answers responded within the shortest possible time. When sending an email, we should include our affiliates link at the end of the email or link it with a video to for people to watch and click for people to register.

4. Google AdWords advertisement.:- This is commonly used and has proved to be successful. Using Google AdWords, we need unique words to attract our prospects to the advertisement. If we don't use eye catching adverts, we might end up wasting time , resources and money.

5. Using paid and free sites:- With that form of advertisement and code tracking, advertising on both free and paid advertising sites will help build your team having in mind that you just need 5 active affiliates to be successful and for your PSAs to duplicate your action.

6. By word of mouth:- This is also a traditional method that has been used time in memorial and has proved to be the best form of advertisement and cheapest. Why its cheap as you are communicating directly to your friends, family members and colleagues at no extra cost. You can invite them for lunch and use that opportunity of telling them about your SFI business. Thereafter, you can do a follow up. With proper follow up, you get better results.

7. By using traffic exchanges to drive traffic to your personal websites:- Using traffic exchange is good as you can be fortunate to get some affiliates from the thousands that clicked on your site.

In summary, using other resources besides the official ones, broadens your horizon as well as marketing strategy as it will help build a team from other sources having in mind that its a game of numbers.

Hope this information helps.

Happy Holiday.

Hello Zoran

Your question is wonderful in the sense that we need not depend entirely upon resources provided by the SFI to be successful in building our teams. Although, I would say that SFI gives plenty of resources to build our team.

Yes, we can look outside of SFI to build our team by:

1. Learning how to build our blog on Blogger or WordPress. Then we can use these blog on daily basis to write updates from SFI News, Forum etc. and direct our down line to view the blog and encourage them to do the same.

2. Blog can be a effective place to add our banners regarding SFI, TriplcleClicks, Eager Zebra Games like Uber-Picks, Card King, Gold Streak, Knock-out Trivia, Time Machine and Pick the Price.

3. Similarly, we should have a Website Domain where we can put our adds to attract new affiliates and PRMs. Website can also be used to place all the banners as quoted above.

4. The links of your Blogs and Websites can be safely placed on Facebook, Twitter, Forums, Linkedin and other Social Media Platforms without being accused of spamming.

5. We can use Safelist-advertising to attract new SFI affiliates and PRMs. We just need some 5 to 7 good responsive SafeList with large traffic.

6. Similarly, we need to choose about 5-7 good traffic exchanges like Traffic Swarm, Easy Hits4U, Tezak Power Traffic, Hit Safari, Top Hits 4U, Traffic Era etc. where the timer hovers around 8 to 30 seconds.

7. We should regularly post our SFI/TC/Privacy Maxx and ECA ads on Text Ads and HTML Ad Exchange websites. We should advertise our TC products too to earn a commission of 45% along with buiIding a strong team.

8. We can send Solo Ads of SFI, TripleClicks, ECA, Eager Zebra Games on responsive Safe Lists using a small budget around 20 to 40 USD if you can afford. I won't recommend to use high budget just for buying PSAs. You can get them even free of cost.

9. You can write a good article on SFI or TripleClicks website or ECA facility provided by the SFI and post your article on Ezine.com with 2 to 3 SFI/TC/ECA links at the bottom to attract SFI/TC/ECA affiliates.

10. There are many other ways to build your strong and successful team of SFI affiliates and PRMs but the bottom line is you need to be a good and constant reader yourself. As they say Leader are Readers.

Hope it helps
Have a nice day !

There are so many resources available out there. We are talking about the borderless world and the era of ‘information at your fingertips’ ? Somehow, NOT all network marketers or I would say SFIers are internet savvy (including me), that are able to penetrate every available means to expand and build our team and business.

We are very fortunate because SFI has provided a comprehensive learning tools and it’s for free. This has helps thousands of affiliate from spending, in order to learn the basics of network marketing. Thus, to answer to your question, I would put forward this few points that might help you to expand, build and be successful in your SFI business.

1) Expand your network - family and friends maybe supportive, but may not be your best
referrals. You have to consider who would make a good customer, then find and look for
ways to reach and meet those people such as Chamber of Commerce, local associations,
local trade shows, formal lead sharing groups, trade shows, etc.

Online networking through social media, groups and sites, online forums etc also will have a
big impact if done correctly. Of course, do not spam those sites or groups with ad for your
products or service. Participate and contribute helpful information to the groups that are
likely to include prospects for your services and you will get known.

2) Optimize your social media Profiles - Having a business oriented social media profile set up
on the major social media sites such as LinkedIn, Google Plus, Pinterest, My Space,
Facebook and many more. Make sure your profile looks professional. This will ensure the
correct business oriented and upstanding member of the community will come forward and
do business with you. Have a good personal page for reference by your potential new
contacts.

3) Set up a Professional looking Website/Blogs – because potential contacts/customers are
likely to take a look at your websites before they call you to discuss your services or buying
your products online.

4) Look for needs you can fill and ask for business - if you don’t ask for business, no one will
know you want it!.. That’s how our ECAs have been blasting their best in the month of
December, being the festive of giving!

Marketing methods is far too long to be spelled out here. Looking at our ECAs stores can give you more answers on how to get more resources in building your team and business. Spend some time within TripleClicks before you venture out seeking for more ways. Again depending on your spending power, lots of ECAs can offer you their assistance. Remember, TripleClicks is our Superstore, think of TC before any other alternatives, out of SFI.

Greetings,

Most certainly a very good question and I am sure every affiliate asks themselves the same one. I know I did.

A very big YES to your question. How?

Blogging > Vlogging > Social Media > Newsletters > Classifieds Sites like Craigslist > Paid digital Ads > Local newspaper listings > Magazine Ads > Local printed Flyers etc.

Let me elaborate, the web is much more powerful and saves more time and money.

So your best bet would be digital (online)...

So start by blogging.... example : wordpress.com

When you blog you will have to focus on a specific niche example : Your journey making money online and what is your "WHY". Within your blog you may then go ahead and include SFI links and banners recommending SFI. Build your own following / fans.

Start building fans and followers using social media, example : create a facebook group and your leads/ prospects will come from their.

Start building a twitter presence. Hootsuite can be used here to manage all your social media accounts at the same time. For social media blocking some SFI links simply use Bitly.

Basically your goal here would be to use the social media to get traffic ( visitors to your website ).
They then read your inspiring articles and feel the urge to sign up and join you in SFI..

Awesome right? Yes! However prepare yourself to have much patience.

So your social media strategy I suggest you use to gain followers / leads / prospects is to simply share value.. People generally love motivational twitter and facebook pages etc.

People love really awesome pictures / good true inspiring life stories like you will find on HUMANS OF NEW YORK.

Own the space, Make it your own, Blog about your own passions and include your story of how you got into making residual income online....

Search engine optimization plays an important role on blogging. So research all of this.

Use google analytics to see what works and what does not.

Newsletter software : Getresponse or Mailchimp etc. The big word here is "LIST BUILDING". This is also how you gain more traffic to your website which ultimately opens the door for sales...
( sales funnel ).

Look up "Pop Up Domination"

Position yourself as expert in your niche. This will draw attention to your brand.

BRAND! you must build your own brand as people will buy into you when you build trust with them. This is where video (Vlogging) comes in. Its more personal. Offer Skype sessions for those interested to hear more...

Also learn from people like Patt Flynn. Simply Google him.

Subscribe to websites that gives great advice one social media and blogging etc.

Learn all you can and apply what you learn.

I really hope this helps.

P.S all the best

Yes definitely!
We have lots of other resources besides SFI

....'Can' says YES

For Advertising/Promoting the new prospects
1. Email marketing, where new prospects are promoted about SFI
2. Social Networks, Great and effective trend to promote SFI
2. Blogs/Websites, requires skills to promote SFI, also good way

For Communication with affiliates
1. Again Social Networks play a role, in communicating effectively.
2. SFI Chat/ SFI E-Cards/ SFI mailers is Single Click way to communicate with affiliates
3. Personal mailing is also develop good communication relation.

Successful team building is all about communication with affiliates, so it is important to develop good relation of communication.
However when we have SFI with so many tools, to use internal tools effectively is also good.

'Communication' is directly proportional to our 'Successful' team building.

There are several other resources that affiliates can access that can supplement the training and resources that are listed with SFI.

The supplemental resources can be learned about through business webinars, on-line training seminars, in classroom content at local colleges or universities and even read about in business books that are available at the local library or other business reference centers.

As an affiliate it is important to review or learn about parts of this on-line business world that are new to you and it is advantageous to have an affiliate buddy through SFI that can help you through your learning curve.

With SFI you lead your business but at the same time it is important to consider what skills you currently have and what skills you do require in order to move you forward. As an example, is it a business booster for you to create an additional landing page or blog that will redirect sign-ups to your SFI recruitment program or direct them to become repeat customers through the TripleClicks store.

Everyone has some thing to learn and we all may not be on the same development speed.

The great thing about SFI is that we are not restricted to only SFI materials but are encouraged to develop our own business skills to become a better entrepreneur with SFI. This may mean looking for additional resources that are not listed with SFI but compliments the SFI business goal.

I love this question.

From my research, the plain and simple answer is yes, there are a lot of other resources out there that are being used to build the larger, more active teams. From what I've seen browsing traffic exchanges, the most successful people in SFI all use custom resources like custom websites/blogs, landing pages, capture pages, invitation videos and the whole works. I too have established three custom websites thus far, all of which are primarily designed to recruit active referrals and I recently won a lifetime custom domain in the PB Auctions so I will end up having four websites at my disposal and this is just one example of the tonnes of custom resources out there. Ever wondered what the inside of a down-line builder affiliate program looks like? Just food for the thought.

Building a team means dealing with human resources and you are looking for quality affiliates instead of quantity. There is a general belief within the SFI fraternity that you should advertise for 100s or 1000s of affiliates before you will come across 1 or 2 active affiliates. This requires capital and many people who come to SFI do so in the hope that they will earn money.

A lot of affiliates have difficulty with the cash investment whether this is a standing order or advertising and it is advisable therefore to focus on alternative methods of building a team. This is not limited to but can include:

1. Having small groups of people you know, friends and family - are a great start to present your SFI business and this does not require much investment. An evening of coffee in an informal environment starts off your quest for that "dream" team.

2. If you are creative enough, it is useful to participate in fairs where you are able to share space with another participant to talk about your business; you can design your own charts and posters for such events without spending a lot.

3. You must have a list of contact emails of people you have known in the past either through your work or other friends and use this database to start up a conversation; it is likely to create an interest.

You can always try out your own tactics and see which ones work the best. It is a question of spreading your interest where others fear to venture and find out whether which ones of your advertising incentives are bringing in active sign ups.
