You already have an TConnect Page to use to advertise.
I am a webdesigner myself and can understand why some will want to do it.

I found the best program to use is a website builder/creator. Like WIX or your ISP's own website builder. Choose a good domain name as it is also like a searching keyword in search engines.
Very important is the keywords. Organic keywords take time to make it rounds to get good ranking. Others like PPC is quicker but cost extra although you can budget

My advice for someone who "wants to create their own SFI website" begins with a question: "Why do you want to do that when you already have the dynamic SFI Affiliates' website?"

Your SFI membership GIVES you 1) training 2) loads of banners and splash pages 3) a Leadership Blog Page 4) a Social Networking Page = A2A and Much Much more.

If you must have your own website, create a weblog site at Blogger.com which is owned by Google. Google tends to favor

The first thing you need to ask yourself , is the goal - to be the purpose of the site / blog .... promotion, information, advertising, general or personal opinion ...


When you need something to promote, advertise and awaken the need for it , you need not only basic knowledge about the subject , but really systematic knowledge or at least know who knows it, or where it can be found ...


There are many free platforms to create website or blog - Wix, Weebly, Google

Any affiliate who want to create their own website is definitely serious about their SFI business. This affiliate is ready to be successful in SFI. Creating your own website for your SFI business is a sign of independence, entrepreneurship, and ambition. This affiliate will need support from his/her upline; constant coaching will be required of the sponsor/co-sponsor to make sure that the affiliate has set up their website correctly and appropriately. The content of the website is critical because

2. Must keep a special section on the home page showing the latest news flash from SFI

3. Must create a special section on home page showing the latest winners

Creating a website can be an exciting experience. SFI offers many was to help make the process easier and less expensive.
There are several ways to obtain a Custom Prestige Domain. You can buy one at TripleClicks, or win one in a Price Bender's auction or in the Daily Grand drawing.
There are several ECA's on TripleClicks who can help with everything from hosting to set up to maintaining the finished product.
Using the available (free) squeeze pages and banners will save time and

There is only one benefit I can think of for having your own website instead of using the Gateway site provided in SFI. That would be that you can connect that website to your own autoresponder and list builder, and then the leads you gather would be on your own personal list.

For now, I am perfectly happy with the Gateway links and the Capture Pages in SFI. All the leads I have generated and the traffic I have had to SFI came through one of the existing Gateways.

I have a website

This is a very good idea!

Opening their own site will get them many PSAs an PRMs,
but only if they do it wright.

First of all they have to carefuly chose colors and design.
Design of this sit must be also motivating,
and colors got to be bright, and with clear focus.

Font needs to be readable, and it's color got to be in contrast with background.

Message has to be motivating and original.
Messages like:

I would tell them all to treat SFI as a long term goal. Having your own ECA website is such a bonus. I use mine to send posts every 2-3 days, they are then seen in the stream tab at SFI.
My ECA website was a god send. After the Christchurch earthquakes I decided not to reopen another store instead I transferred my shop to Triple Clicks.

I do not expect to be earning a gold mine straight away. I know it takes time plus duplication, promoting and most important communication to be successful.

Hello!

If the SFI affiliate asked for advice, my answer would depend on whether they have created and maintained websites before or not.

For those who have the know-how of making a good professional website - I would support them fully. Maybe you can offer to proofread the text for them, or ask other people to comment on it and improve it.

For those who have never done it before -advise them to try with a blog instead. Blogs are easier to make and maintain, and they
