You can earn the most money in SFI by recruiting and building a team of affiliates - but selling TripleClicks products is a huge part of that. Affiliates are people who market and sell other people's products.

Imagine having a whole team of affiliates selling TripleClicks products, instead of trying to sell TripleClicks products all on your own. So many more products will be sold!

And how do you benefit from that? How does having a team of affiliates selling TripleClicks products earn you more money than if you were selling TripleClicks products all on your own?

1. More sales increases the Executive Pool, increasing the amount of money all SFI affiliates can earn.

2. If you are at least of BTL rank, you earn the Matching VP monetary value of your affiliates' VP value, down through several generations of affiliates in your team.

3. Active affiliates spend money and/or make sales - they're not your TC PRMs, but they're still your "customers" too! You earn commissions when your PSAs spend at TripleClicks. They earn (and are thus more easily able to spend) when their PRMs spend and when their PSAs spend at TripleClicks, etc etc, down through all generations of your team.

Note: Set a good example. If you want your PSAs and their PSAs to spend a little, spend a little yourself too. If you want your PSAs to sell TripleClicks products, sell TripleClicks products too.

Conclusion: You can't have a team of affiliates earning you a nice amount of money if they don't spend and/or sell. While you can earn the most money at SFI by recruiting and building a team of affiliates, there always has to be sales too.

You won't have to help ensure that your affiliates do anything if they are serious about their SFI business. Those serious about their SFI business - or about any business for that matter - will already understand the importance of reading.

Serious business persons regularly look for and read everything they can about their business, on their own, but they should appreciate you helping them find important pages more quickly.

For those affiliates who want to become serious business persons for the first time, but who don't usually read much, you can stress the importance of reading - "Leaders are readers".

To help ensure that your affiliates hear from you about:

exciting and important SFI announcements,
where to find these announcements,
where to find discussions about these announcements,
how to subscribe to receiving emails when there are new SFI announcements,
the importance of reading,

you can use more than just one method of communication:

email
team mail
ecard
stream post
instant messaging

If contacting only your PSAs and CSAs, remind them to let their own teams know too.

Spend as much as you can possibly afford to on the display of that kiosk, and on the items and quantity of items you display at that kiosk. A poor display, or only a few items on display, may give the impression that you're not making much money with SFI.

Display quality; display quantity; display professionalism.

Display "wealth".

Further:

In addition to all the usual marketing materials on display or ready to use at your kiosk, have a laptop running with it's screen projected onto a fair-sized projector screen. Which gateway is on that laptop? The testimonials gateway, of course.

Have much of your signage at an elevated level, so it can be seen from a distance over the tops of heads of people in a crowd. Use large, simple lettering, in bright colors.

Purchase a variety of high quality products - of fair size rather than too many small items - from a variety of different ECAs at TripleClicks. Display these items attractively at your kiosk.

Practice what you're going to say to visitors to your kiosk ahead of the first day that you set your kiosk up.

10 Daily Marketing Habits to Grow Your ECA Business

1. Product Photos

Constantly work at improving your photography skills and knowledge - shoppers cannot see your products in person or touch your products and turn them around to view them from all angles.

Your goal should be to beat your competitors who are selling similar products at similar prices, through your beautiful and classy photographs of your products.

2. Make Notes

Make to do lists - about what you need to do, and about what you need to learn more about before you can do it.

3. Communicate With Your Connections

This doesn't have to be daily, unless you're communicating with a different batch of connections each day, but you can still spend time each day making notes about what you'd like to tell your connections the next time that you do contact them.

Make your communications about tips for marketing your products, and emphasize the reasons why marketing your products will be good for your connections.

4. Be Quick With Replies

Respond to emails from your connections as soon as possible. They may be asking about how they can market your products.

5. Practice Being Generous

Go out of your way to help your connections market your products.

Email your connections large photos of your products that they can print out and display in their car window or elsewhere. Provide them with lists of places they can advertise online. Even provide step-by-step instructions on how to advertise on those sites. Go even one step further and write content for the ads yourself, and provide this content to your connections for their use.

6. Look For New Places to Advertise

Constantly update lists that you keep. Include dates of when you added those new places, and dates of when you sent updated lists to your connections, and who you sent them to.

7. Write

Work on content that you can add to your website or blog. Add a new article or blog post several times a month.

Work on content that you can add when you add your new products to TripleClicks.

8. Market Your Website or Blog

Look for blogs on similar topics, that allow comments. When you fill in your name, also fill in your website address. Write nice comments that relate to the post or article on that page, so that your comment (and your link to your site!) will be accepted.

Write about your products on social sites. Include the link to the page on your site that has the article or blog post about those specific products.

Learn about SEO and how to use it.

9. Be Professional

Always be professional, especially with the look of your site, photographs of your products, and with writing. Check grammar, spelling, and formatting.

10. Increase Your Knowledge

Spend at least a little time each day reading and learning - about marketing, and about how others market successfully. Visit sites that offer marketing services and read about what they do. Visit the sites of successful bloggers and read about what they do.

Visit the marketing pages, training pages. advertising/marketing category of Ask SC, and the marketing category in the forum on SFI. Many of the SFI marketing methods can be used for marketing other things too, like your TripleClicks products.
