In designing a website one should consider the latest technology used in online advertising, which brings more traffic and a high response from visitors. An easy navigation of the site is a must.

In particular, a good SFI website should contain the following:

If an affiliate wants to create and maintain their own website, I would clarify with them if they actually want a blog site or a website. Many people do not know the difference between the two. There are differences in cost and ease of management.

Then their are two types of blog sites:

1. Free ones allow advertisements to be placed on your site.

2. For a low cost you can have a blog site that you can moderate: what does or does not go on it from the public. For

Work on it every day and list it in all the search engines you can. Make it interesting and creative. Refer to your Gateway List for links to use on it. https://www.sfimg.com/MyAccount/GatewayList

I recommend getting a youtube channel and making videos to put on it about whatever it is you are best at. It has to be your passion. This is one of the best ways to get traffic to your website. On your channel you will want to include a link to your website. Just be natural and be yourself.

My best advice would be that make sure your own SFI website is user-friendly and attractive otherwise your future clients will leave you for someone sleeker and more organized.

1) Update your blog: Your business blog keeps customers in the know about upcoming projects.

2) Create a simple navigation system: Designing a clear, simple navigation system will help customers find out information about SFI easily and quickly.

3) Write an "about" page: Don’t

An experience marketer would entertain or already have a Website, for newbies I strongly recommend:

Keep it simple. Open a blog.
They are much easier to work with and less time consuming. Latest opinions are they attract more visitors,
if you maintain an active blog.
This means you will write frequent articles and messages in your blog attracting an audience of readers.

There are a number of free blog sites available, I use WordPress. For all, do a search on the

Good question.

First of all I would utilize the images and text ads you'll find under the mktg tab. And use text from the various SFI and TripleClicks gateways in your web design.

If you have your own hosting and domain names, I would also use the ones provided for you at https://www.sfimg.com/CustomDomainManager even if all you do is redirect them to your main free or other gateways.

I would also make the pages have most of the information at or near the top so that

1. Improves your credibility as an Internet marketer and as an SFI Team Leader.

I think it is a good idea for a SFI affiliate to have their own website so that they can personalize the experience of our business with current and potential affiliates.

In a website they should include the following items:

1. Capture widget to offer a free report, gift card or other item in return for the name, email, possibly phone number of the inquirer.

2. Simple colors (only 2-3).

3. Informative reports

4. Contests

5. Tripleclick

Having an SFI website can be very encouraging for the members of the team. If an affiliate want to create his/her own SFI website, I think he/she needs to think and set what kind of website it would be, is it a free or paid one, and what will the contents be.

The SFI website needs to be focused on what are SFI and how to run this business. The more complete the information about SFI, the better. It depends on him/her whether he/she wants to create a website from a free domain or a paid

Great question!
Creating your own website or blog is highly recommended, even by SFI. Why you ask? Because it distinguish you from all the other SFI gateways out there promoting the same product(s).

Having your own blog for instance, enables you to talk about work at home business and other important information in the business world of working from home. You gather information from picking up knowledge and post to your blog.

Of coarse you will be placing some of your
