I'm glad you asked. Although I don't believe it is necessary to use an auto responder it does make it seem more personal. Nothing can beat building relationships though.

If you decide to use an auto responder I would include the following details:

1. As an SFI affiliate you will have the opportunity to market products from SFI's on-line store. You will earn direct commissions from each and every sale. Best of all you don't have to ship the product, process the payment, or provide any service at all. SFI does it all for you. All you need to do is promote the product. SFI even provides the tools to do that! You don't have to pay for advertising or go to traffic exchanges or safe lists. With even two or three regular customers you can earn great commissions.

2. You can earn royalties by sponsoring a company that uses SFI's online store.

3. You can build a team of affiliates with the help of your sponsor and other experts.

4. There are many streams of income at this BBB approved online business. It will take hard work to make top dollar but it is very possible if you take the time to look carefully at all the options.

5. Go to (gateway with your id#) and take a look for free. You can opt out at any time and it is truly free. You don't have to spend a dime if you work the business with profit in mind. If it looks at all interesting, go for 500 versa points within the first 24 hours. You'll earn a bonus and be half way to qualifying for the first level.

To your Success!

Thank you, Jelena!

I love this question because I am new to using autoresponders and will-no doubt-learn so much from the answers given.

From what I know about autoresponders, the number of follow-up pages differ from advisor to advisor. Some say there should be 5, some say 8 others say 10. What I will say on this is that the number of follow-up pages you decide to use should be determined by how much information you personally think you need to give before providing your links.

After introducing SFI to your reader, you may want to concentrate on showing them the power tools at their disposal when they join. You can use each follow-up email as a base to showcase one or two while keeping a common thread like the fact that you will always be at hand to support them and the powerful support mechanisms already set in place at the affiliate centre.

This is just one of many ways you can do your follow-ups. As I am answering your question, it is becoming clear to me just how powerful a tool the autoresponder is. Unlike the splash page, you have more time to explain how this business works for you. By presenting the reader with links later on, you're giving them the freedom to choose for themselves. I believe that the reader doesn't feel pushed into signing up this way and that they are better informed upon signing up therefore are more likely to give it a good shot(so to speak).

I hope I have been able to contribute something to the already excellent answers that have been submitted before me. I am looking forward to reading more answers on this topic.

I wish you much success with the autoresponder and look forward to seeing you at the top!

Hi Jelena, Great question and although I've never used an autoresponder, I've read plenty of messages created for them. There is a theme with every autoresponder so you must make sure you are keeping with whatever the theme is for it's use.

Each theme is determined by you. If you are going to use the autoresponder to answer one time immediately upon getting a response from an affiliate then you absolutely want to include pertinent information for joining; to include your landing site address to join. You also want to supply your reader with an alternative to get more information.

The more information could be a link that would send the reader to another batch of autoresponding messages, each keeping with the theme of "more information" with regard to helping the reader decide to come aboard.

Regardless, you will want your reader to feel like he or she will be part of the team, welcome, and not alone in his or her new adventure with you. Always keep your information factual, and use words like "we, us, together", as opposed to "you, alone, by yourself". I wish you all the best with your autoresponder. Have fun with it!!!

In my experience is that auto-responders are not appropriate for marketing SFI. If you have a website for your SFI Business it should have a short written presentation of each of the 5 different ways to built-up your SFI Business. In each presentation create text links to each appropriate SFI Gateway. As for emails, respond personally. Internet marketing is hard and the click thru ratio (CTR) of your marketing is supposed to be 2-3% (for 1000 page views 20 to 30 persons will show interest and go to your gateway. When they learn that contact is auto-responder generated they see the business negatively.
As for what to say. You have to be a role model for them to duplicate. You have to be all you ask them to be. Be sincere about the facts that you have to work daily SFI, get products sales from TripleClicks.com, mix action VP and VP from purchases done by yourself. That it really takes 2-3 yrs. to see a true income. Who signs up after getting the true hard facts of the business, which includes the fact that the potential good streaming income is real with SFI, will be a great asset to your team and business development.
My advice, don't use auto-responder. Create a live real Team Leader and Friend relation with your, (from interested in info contacts to affiliate in your team. Movers in your genealogy are gems and those keeping EA2 the diamonds.

I believe your goal in setting up an autoresponder on your website is to get quality affiliates to sign up under you in SFI eventually.

The nature of your website's business is very important as to how you will set up the follow-up emails in the autoresponder. This is because the leads that you have in your autoresponder have either signed up with you expecting a newsletter for certain information or through a squeeze page you have set up.

Your follow-up emails should be related to what you promised in your newsletter and squeeze pages. If it is totally unrelated, you will get a high percentage of opt-outs and some disgruntled visitors may boycott your website altogether.

The best follow-up emails I have read personally from signing up with other programs' squeeze pages are usually witty, humourous and short with a link to a video message or a longer article. It feels much more personalised if you can see a person talking to you directly. If you find it too daunting to record a video message, placing a photo as part of your signature helps to personalise it as well. The link also gives them a choice to read more if they are interested instead of throwing a whole bunch of information in the follow-up emails which usually end up deleted.

Make sure to include information of your own successes in SFI and talk about memorable milestones you have reached in the past in SFI.

If you have signed up with other programs' autoresponders, try and study which ones you like the most and are more likely to become their customers. List out exactly what makes their emails so attractive and try to incorporate them into your own. Just be sure your information is not misleading and untrue.

Good luck with your autoresponder and I wish you success in getting quality affiliates!

Be honest. Tell the truth about SFI and that they need to do the work.
SFI is not a passive income program. Also let them know it's not a get
rich scheme and that these types of programs are most assuredly not in
their best interest. SFI is more about the individual than the bottom
line. It's all set up to help each and every person to earn a good
income from home, and it gives them everything they need to do it,
but it doesn't work for people who don't want to work. So if that's
what they're looking for, then SFI isn't for them.

But if they're looking for a solid company, and honest trainers and
everyone works to help everyone, then they should get really excited
that they're finally home and that they will be taken care of in ways
they never knew existed.

As for an autoresponder, if it were me I would use one. Even though
I'm very well educated on their use, because with SFI the personal
touch works best. But that's up to you. and it's really up to you what
to say.

If you can glean anything from this I've done my job.
Thanks SC, and SFI for giving us this platform.

Never, never use an autoresponder when sending your weekly communications to your affiliates. It's just not personal enough. Use their first names affiliates will feel a little bit special. An autoresponder should be use for potential customers and customers when keeping them updated. It should also be used for letting them know about something special.

The second part of your question asks for what you might provide. Well, here are a few suggestions:
<first, you should tell your affiliates what they should do every day to succeed.

<Next explain the difference in an affiliate and an Executive Affiliate. Don't leave out information about staying an Executive Affiliate.

< Advise them to review the glossary.So they are knowledgeable with all the initials in SFI.( good example )

< Show where to find the Internet Income Course. Let them know they should use the free tutorial of over 80+ articles how to make money.

< Talk about IAHBE. They need to know that's a good option to get 1500 VersaPoints.

< Be sure to talk about the Gift Certificate Program. How it works and why they should use them.

< Talk about the S-Builder Co-op and how to reduce the cost of their S-Builder Co-op.

< Of course don't forget a communication about TripleClicks and Member Reward Points. Make sure to talk about the importance of each is and why they should purchase from TripleClicks.

< Talk to them about their advertising methods. Remind them about using Key Codes Tracking and it's importance.

< Teach them about the SFI Earnings Calculator.

There are a lot of different topics you can discuss. I hope my ideas will help should you decide to send out communications using an autoresponder to your affiliates.

I have seen many answers about using a autoresponder most of these are that an autoresponder is a cold robot that sends your impersonal mail.

In your question you have said you wanted an autoresponder which is a good start but how you use the autoresponder is the question, SFI uses an autoresponder, every time someone clicks onto your gateway links out come a response.

I have two auto-responders working for me and collecting signups 24/7, I do use the corporate/gateway pages in other ways, but so is everyone else.

Put your own personality into making your own splash/squeeze pages incorporating SFI and TripleClicks, when the prospect signs up to Your List he/she is directed to SFI/TripleClicks sign up pages, if they do not sign up for SFI/TripleClicks you can send them information about anything as long as it is inline with your original intentions.
I would start compiling a squeeze page advertising yourself and your business.

Place on your squeeze page your intentions to send them important news and that they are signing up to receive your news letter once they sign up and confirm this (double optin)you automatically send them to SFI/TripleClicks, if they do not sign up you have the opportunity to follow up and possibly retain that prospect.

When using auto responders to communicate with your affiliates, remember that the auto responder can not replace your support. Use auto response to 'salt' your prospects. Place straight forward nuggets of information here and there. Use them no more than 3 times per week.

You goal is to remind them of important milestones, weekly improvements, a highlight for the month featuring your achievements and insight into the next month. Maintain a general theme for each month and build on the previous lesson. The prospect should be able to paint the picture over time that you are progress in business and as long as they sit on the fence they are missing out. Make them want to be a part of the action.

Finally, conclude each message with a strong call to act now with benefit added reasoning. Give them a reason to join your team. Reward them for doing so.

The First page should only be a welcome page and Thank You to the person who respond to your Autoresponder ad (no advertising links in the welcome page). Let them know that additional information is to follow. You should have about 8 to 10 follow-up pages.

Pages 2 through 10 should be short and to the point of explaining your offer. In this case, your offer is (SFI Affiliate program). There is a lot of information you can get at the SFI affiliate center showing what SFI is about and how it can benefit potential affiliates.

Gather all this information and compile it into 10 pages with only about 1 to 3 paragraphs of information on each page. Then place a "call to action" SFI text ad with your affiliate link at the end of each page.

Also, if you provide a way for the potential affiliate to contact you for more information, it may increase your sign-ups. This could be letting them know that after sign-up they will have direct access to you for support as their sponsor. Let them know that sign-up is free and that you will personally work with them after they have joined.

You can also provide a link to the "next" page, just in case they are interested in learning more right away.
