Good affiliates are never easy to find, but if you offer a "no lies or promises you can't keep" campaign of ads, and place them in the locations where people are looking for work, you will attract people who are not expecting money for no work.

If you have spectacular ads offering things you cannot provide, you may get signups, but will be a waste of your time trying to get them to change, and they will not become active.

The rate of people who work vs. tire kickers is low, but you must remember you only need 5 GOOD people, and help them get 5 GOOD people and so on, and your business will build.

Once you have a good solid business you can acquire more and train more in your first line and expand, but start small, because supporting 100 new affiliates will prove to fail because of lack of time to support those affiliates properly.

The few affiliates you get from well written and placed ads will take time to help develop, so be content with training the main few first.

I don't see many ORIGINAL and CREATIVE ideas coming out, but here are a few things I did:

1) took artwork prints of cottages and vacation spots and added in SFI logos and words to make a custom poster that brings a picture of their dream future into the mind while they are reading the ad, they read my ad first.

2). I printed out on a bunch of iron on transfer sheets off the printer, many SFI logos and made a quilt for our Laps for sports events, and kids soccer meets. People at kids sporting events talk to other parents more than watching the soccer games or practices, and same applies to pro sporting events, take that blanket, shawl, along, it really invites questions.

3) I custom painted (I am not an artist, just dollar store paint and a disposale brush) many unique magnetic car signs to attract the eye, and made a bunch of small stick on ones 4 x 6 inches for my sons car, local mail boxes, even the fronts of the washers in the local laundromat. The business card size magnets are available for pennies at a local dollar store.

4) I drew and traced different pictures from kids coloring books, and made a bunch of my own birthday and Christmas cards, and incorporated the SFI logo into them, custom made for each person.

5) I take optical illusions, and small brain twisters, and print them on cards, I usually do 700 at a time, and on the back print my personal SFI info, and email, so people are more inclined to pick it up than a regular business or gift card. I hand sign each card with a thanks.

6) Started a "chain letter" and everyone sent it on to 5 friends, asking for just money making ideas only in the chain and people love chain letters that are FUN, so I have found thousands of people have actually ended up sending such amazing ideas, I could write a book.

So above are just a few of the many I keep in my files.

SFI is very simple at the basics stage, so always go back to basics every day, don't get wound up in complicated issues.

Start fresh every day on the basics page and decide on one thing to do that day, and go about doing it. Read something even if you have been with SFI for years, read a launchpad or memo, and it brings you back to where your affiliates are, and then communicate the one simple task daily to them.

Once the new affiliates realize it is really easy, then they are not afraid, or apprehensive, and can go about doing something on their own and branching out. Everyone will make mistakes, because that is how we learn, and they will also learn that way.

Go back to that basics page everyday, to ground yourself, and your affiliates, as it is a great place to start EVERY day.

The benefit of nan-active assigned affiliates is that any time they may start up.

Your upline should NOT offload old non working affiliates, but often if your upline (and many do) get hundreds of affiliates in a day from an advertising campaign, they take 10 and give to each of their downline as incentive to get started or get moving. They cannot select only working ones as nobody knows when they first come in if they will ever work at all, and they are FREE to you, so treat them like fresh affiliates as they are until they to out.

NOTE:
In some cases if you do NOT have any downline this opens up the opportunity for your geneology messages of 30 VP a week.

All affiliates will not work hard, and some may never sign in again, but you will find that one in a bunch who will become a star, so treat each as a potential star.

Accept these as a gift, and learn to develop your email messages of help and encouragement, with you will use over and over again, so remember to save a copy.

All part of a great learning process and potentially a wonder affiliate, so enjoy.

What a great question, as often people totally overlook the offline marketing which is where I got my first sale and downline.

I put up flyers in laundromats, and also have a flyer with pull tabs and put it on the outside of the door of my car anytime I park in a mall parking lot.

Put your business name and link on the visor of your car, and flip it down when parked someplace.

Business cards are great put I print on the back a nice note to the person who may pick up the card. Cards are almost free forms of advertising, and can be "left" almost anywhere, one at a time but don't dump a bunch or you look desperate but one lonely card looks like it might have been left by accident, and might be something someone else had wanted, which make it more attractive to the passerby who comes across it, and at the least if someone throws it out, you only lose one.

Magnetic signs for the side of your car with link on it...I use shortened links they can remember, or the custom domains from SFI that have a flair of their own, and are attractive sounding by themselves.

When you are wondering what to do next, drop into a seniors centre and just talk to people, many of them may just be looking for someone to talk to or something to occupy their time. If you do not get anyone interested in SFI you will have had a nice chat and be welcome back again, where you may find someone.

Get a booth at a school even or a trunk or tag sale, make inexpensive t-shirts to sell, and when they buy a flea market t-shirt they will be walking advertising for YOU.

If you have a booth at a flea market you can just advertise the business, people at flea markets are always looking for a deal, and Pricebenders auctions often sounds like just that deal, and they can make money also.

Just a few of the 100 things I thought of today, enjoy and just open your mind to what is around you and use it to promote you business.

Blogging can be used in several ways. Use it to

- introduce daily discounts and promotions in a friendly easy to read format

- talk about new releases or changes and updates in SFI

- have back and forth community question and answer period, developing a friendship and closeness with your readers

- highlight successful affiliates to illustrate the value of the business

- you can create a tutorial, day by day in basic language for your affiliates to follow

- share feedback on many of the products SFI and TripleClicks offer

And every day is a new day to discuss from a new angle, and converse online, inviting questions in a very informal format.

Remember you may be talking to both people who are affiliates, and a whole world of people who might like your blog for other reasons, so keep some good content on many topics going to attract many outside people to check out our blog. Once they have read the other items that attracted them to your blog, they will then go on and see and read the very informative SFI information and perhaps become a customer or an affiliate.

One thing I would go for people frustrated and giving up is to give them 15 people downline.
15 of their own PSA's will cost you about $15.00 and tripleclicks sells many of these packages

Or buy yourself a package of 30 and give 3 or 4 per downline affiliate by reassignment if you have many frustrated downline.

Nothing will be wasted, as if they opt out and leave the affiliates roll back up to you.

Then once they are reassigned you help support the new PSA's t the same time as your frustrated downline affiliate.

Together they will grow and succeed.

I always start with the obvious, and state to them that
when they sell something, they get paid.

All the other features like matching points and downline commissions are not effective until they develop and teach their downline, but the "sell something, get paid commission" can give immediate results they can see.

Once they understand this then encourage them to build downline and see that the "You tell 2 people and they tell 2 people, and they tell 2 people" pyramid can lead to many years of residual income with unlimited downline potential.

Keeping it simple makes it easier not to overwhelm people at the beginning.

I would not convince too hard, but rather quickly show them the options now available that may be new since they quit.

if they opted out the rules say you must not try to contact them again.

But it anyone who just faded away, might be interested to know there are many almost free ways to get tcredits it bid on auctions. This has changed recently, and they can earn VP with the bids also.

Might be enough yo get them to look if you threw in a gift card. But don't waste too much energy on people who have come and gone, always look forward.

Just a simple email

Short

Stating what TripleClicks does in YOUR words, one sentence, and then an offer of a gift certificate to try buying products like
"Veriuni liquid nutrition"
(you pick a product you like for the specific country or age group you are targeting)

Keep it simple, because people won't read a full page but a well written 2 sentences with good spacing might get their attention
Especially with one thing FREE in it.
