I think you advertise the entire store - like they are advertising other online stores. When people are looking for a specific product they go to an online store they know and then they search for it there and while they are searching they see other products and they may even buy something they did not plan to buy.

Your job is to make sure they know about TripleClicks and that is the first name they think about when they want to buy something online. They must be so aware of SFI that

Is it wise to offer non-SFI related incentives to my CSAs and PSAs? For example, create a standing order and get a free DVD?

I thought about your question and I came up with one answer - NO it is not wise.

Why do we offer incentives? To encourage our affiliates to work and build their business. If you help them to build their business you are also helping yourself. Say you live in the USA and you decide to offer a gift certificate for an American retail shop - why would your affiliates in Indie or Brazil or Australia work to get that incentive?

Another factor to keep in mind is - laws. Every country

I think you can bring them into this century by introducing them to e-commerce. It is opening a whole new market to them and it can help them to have a bigger customer base.

I think they would most probably be a better target market to you than a business that already have an online presence. If they are online already and they have a good working website they might not see the need to join TripleClicks as well.

When you sign up a new business to the ECA program - make sure

When you have your own domain you decide what you want to do with it. Try posting a link on Facebook or some other sites and they will not allow it - on your own site you can post as many links as you want.

You can make it as attractive as your creativity or knowledge allows you to do.

If you have all your links or gateways on your own domain you only need to make sure your keywords are the right words to bring traffic to your site and it is a lot easier to keep track of where

I feel the profile can give you some idea if the affiliate filled in all the information, but I can tell you that my profile is filled in completely but if my sponsor relied on that to help me she would not have been able to do so. My sponsor got to know me through e-mails, chat and even Facebook. I am now doing the same thing with my affiliates.

I say hallo and chat to them whenever they are on line - give tem the opportunity to talk to me in real time and ask questions. When they

Avoid words like quick money, get rich quickly, earn money doing nothing.

In short - your adds should not lie. Tell the truth - SFI is successful, you do not have to tell lies to promote it. The facts and figures will be enough.

Do not advertise using long boring descriptions - nobody wants to sit and read long advertisements - short, colorful, funny, bold and bright adds catch the attention. There is enough information to read once they are on the site - but you have to

Hallo

You are using the correct word - allegedly. The proof is in the pudding - do you get what is promised?

You can always give it a go - see if they deliver on their promises. I tried other programs and maybe I was just unfortunate enough to try the wrong ones - but SFI is the first one that actually works for me. Maybe there are more out there - but I have not come across the legitimate once - now that I found SFI I am staying put - I am tired of empty promises.

Use words that You would use to search if you are looking for a good opportunity. DO NOT use words that comes down to false advertising - words like get rich quickly or earn money doing very little or anything making unrealistic promises. In other words - be honest when you set up your advertisements.

How can you determine what TripleClicks product(s) a person might be interested in?

Get to know your potential customers.

If the person is a mom with young children chances are very good that she will buy toys or clothes for children.

A gamer will very likely be very interested in the newest games.

A fisherman can apparently never have enough gadgets for fishing.

I am sure you can see what I mean - if you know them it will not be too difficult to share or promote the correct product with the correct person.

Before you decide to participate or not, 1st go to Income (on the black bar) and go and click on Pay-per-action and make sure you read everything there very carefully.

The information is important but too much to explain here. You can also go and look at the frequently asked questions to answer some of your questions.

My personal opinion about the program: If you take part in it and make sure you understand the rules it can be a very useful program.
