The fact that you are willing to exercise ethics and adhere to the rules of SFI is a demonstration of your honesty and professionalism. You can connect with many ECAs who are already in the program and this will give you tremendous exposure. This can boost your business since they in turn will recommend your store to others.

You can make use of the many marketing tools provided by SFI such as, the ECA feed where your comments can be directed to those connected with your store, and

It’s perfectly OK to promote your products to affiliates! They are your target market!

- Connect to as many ECAs as you can and send them brief introductory greetings.

- There’s a POST NEWS box next to your product list, use it to announce new items in your shop.

- Send periodical e-mails to ECAs you’re connect with, when you have a special offer or deal.

- Submit your listed items for HOT DEALS and CLOSEOUTS, so that everybody can see them when

I have an ECA Store myself, so know a little bit.

There are lot's of ethical ways to promote products of any kind from your ECA TConnect Page, which is your Store. There's a spot there where you can post a mini blog about your products. This will go to your affiliate's Stream Page. When someone clicks on your logo there's a link that takes them to your Store.

For products designed especially for SFI Affiliates, you can also:

1. send out team mail to recommend your

Hi Mike

One of the great methods that SFI has put in place for us to promote out stores is through your TConnect ECA page. You can put it to work for you in a variety of ways immediately after setting it up. You can list products to sell, market your SFI business, access special ECA and member deals, etc

I have noticed that every time someone wants to connect with me on a2a the first place they look at is my badges to see if I am worth connecting with and then proceed to my

One of the main obstacles to selling products online is to have customers visiting your website and buying your products. As an E-Commerce Associate on Tripleclicks this problem is solved for you. This is accomplished in several ways.

As an ECA you have online marketers already waiting to promote your products. You NEED to connect with them. If you are an SFI Affiliate and an ECA (you should be both to gain maximum benefits) there are several ways to accomplish this.

Here are some good ways to promote your ECA products:

1. If you are a Team Leader with downlines, you can send message to affiliates. Focus on the benefits of your products to them in growing their SFI business.

Dear Friend,

Having an ECA store in TripleClicks itself means that you are a proud owner of a Business Enterprise with a large variety of items specially designed for SFI Affiliates and others.

Promoting a business should always be based on three major factors, i.e, Ethics, Logic and Statistics. It is not the question of how big your store is but how sacred you treat it as. Good business leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision and relentlessly

First make everyone at SFI aware that you have a store. Ask them to connect.

You can do this every two to three days. Log into your ECA store at the right add a post, that will show in the stream posts at SFI.

Second explain to new members how they can earn and support you by promoting your store.
Telling them to log in. Scroll down to the bottom left, here they will find their link with their SFI Id inserted to promote.

Thirdly You can email weekly all your

Hi Mike,

Like I usually say in circumstances as this, follow the rules. Just follow the rules and do what SFI advises all ECAs to do and you will neither have problems nor have any issues with ethical matters. There is nothing you do in SFI that is not guided by strict enforceable rules. Promote your business where SFI allows you to and desist from doing so where you are not allowed to.

The following tips can be of help.

1)Design your TConnect page very well and get

ECAs can increase their sales by reaching out to many of the affiliates. However the challenge posed is remaining ethical and adhering to SFI rules and regulations. This can be done in a number of ways.

A2A
A2A which is SFI’s social network program is a good way to promote your ECA products to SFI affiliates. Connect with them and if you live in the same country, that saves on shipping costs.
