First of all it needs to be fun for you. Be sure to include links and banners to click on. Don't over crowd your pages. Make separate pages for things like TripleClicks, Pricebenders, SFI and maybe one for your own affiliates to learn from and comment on.

Keep it simple and clean yet exciting and fun to read. Update at least 5 days a week. People and search engines like a lot of new content coming all the time.

Get your own domain name and hosting. It is always better than the

Encourage your SFI Affiliate to work with their strengths: If they are brilliant at website design, development and management and have done it successfully for themselves or others previously, then yes, by all means go for it. If not try starting with a blog or use another strategy altogether that utilizes their proven skills and core strengths to generate new PSA and ECA sign ups.

Linking a personal website to SFI corporate website is a definite plus. Daily maintenance and ensuring accurate

The advice I could give for those SFI affiliates who want to create and maintain their own SFI website is to "Go For It!". I'm sure before they thought about it, they have some good plans and valuable reasons why they wanted to have it in a first place. Why not supporting their plans? It may do good for them. Life is risky. We all go through all risks in our daily lives. This is almost the same as owning a website. Lots of people succeed and lots of people failed. Who can tell? It is just

Keep it current!

Embed links to upcoming auctions and recent news alerts. There's nothing worse than a website that you can tell isnt being updated., you just don't bother looking at it!

They will receive 100 Action VP for putting an SFI banner on it as well!

Make sure there are lots of good user guides to working different aspects of SFI. Also you can upload some instructional videos etc.

Blog blog blog on their own experience with SFI.

Don't try to re-invent the wheel! Your website or blog must be able to generate traffic. Create a website or blog that will project a passion that is inside of you. This could be business, hobby, political, family life, or religious based and will generate people wanting to visit your website over and over again. Now, SFI has created and is continuously upgrading it's landing pages and with Tripleclicks you have about 100,000 products to sell. On your website, utilize all the banners and ads that

Encourage and offer them all the support they may need.

Being new at online business, I am learning just how important advertising your business is and SFI is a business.

All affiliates have their own unique SFI Gateway Website(s) to use in promoting their business and having your own SFI website encourages the affiliates to direct traffic to their website (which I find family and close friends are more receptive to), where they can use their own personal touches to promote

First try to find the appropriate domain, the best global. Com (or if you have a specific niche in which you hit the appropriate for her)
The best solution is to create a blog on Wordpress.
If you do not have graphics capabilities, select one of the free templates, or create a site with ready Gantry framework. (http://www.gantry-framework.org).
Home for the framework looks very nice and is suitable for all types of devices (computers, tablets, smartphones), which is a huge plus.
