I know that currently, Social media is the "hot" place to be advertising and marketing right now, but many of the older methods still work well. Advertising in places like classified ads (either free or paid) and paid to click sites has been known to give results. You can also purchase google ads or ads on other networks.

You could also start looking at the newer Social networks that are more targeted towards those that will be more receptive to your opportunity. One of the keys to successful advertising is consistency. Even in overcrowded areas, you can still find reliable results by being consistent.

Both are important to do. Initially, focusing on sponsoring PSA's is good in order to create a team and duplication. Referring Triple Clicks members should be approached as an as you are able to basis.

If you are looking to create quick income for now, referring Triple Clicks will gain you direct commissions on any sales, but to develop long term income and security, sponsoring affiliates and building your team is better.

One way to encourage your team to purchase from Triple Clicks is for you to lead by example. You can send out a Team mail when you have made a purchase that explains why you made that purchase. Talk about how it benefits you and why it was a good purchase. You can explain how buying from Triple Clicks makes sense and strengthens SFI and all active affiliates.

I think it depends on who you are targeting your advertising towards. Choose items that you are familiar with, or are similar to ones that you have used so that you cvan better explain the benefits and features and how they will work for your intended audience. The ads you place will also help determine what you promote. If you are placing a short text ad, for example, you may be better off promoting a category that is appropriate for the intended reader instead of a specific product. You may, however, write a story in a blog that explains how a product that you are familiar has benefited you and how it fits into your life.

My answer in short is to do the work for them. To answer it in more detail, I would work closely with the ECA and help them post their first couple items. This would include writing the text for the listing, helping with pricing, and possibly even taking and uploading a photo of the item. I would spend some time with the ECA to show them how easy it is to post their listing. I then would feature their items in some of my advertising, again, showing them how committed you are to their success.

Once their listing is posted, and they feel comfortable posting more of their items on their own, I would continue to follow up with them to make sure that they are not having any issues.

The new Digital version of the TripleClicks gift card is another tool that SFI offers to help you in marketing SFI and TripleClicks. Instead of a physical card, which you have to pay shipping for, as well as postage to mail it if you are sending it to someone who is not local, you are able to send the code in an email or text message to anyone that you choose.
One way to make use of these cards is as an incentive to sign up to your newsletter. This can be a good fit, however, you have to be sure that you have ample supply for your sign-ups.
A better choice might be to issue the digital cards to people that you have developed a relationship with, and who have expressed an interest. They may be fence sitters who are in need of motivation to check it out further.
A final option would be to use them as a reward or incentive for current prospects. You could offer to give them a gift card code when they place their first order.

This is one of the most frustrating things about online business. People are expecting things to show a profit quickly. Because of this they may be gung-ho to start, but loose enthusiasm quickly. To convince someone who has given up that they should reconsider can be difficult. I would first work to develop a rapport with them and build a relationship. Show them that they are really a valued part of your team. Take time to answer their questions and show them all the great opportunities that SFI has to offer. Help them begin to build a team and show them how to mentor their team. Refer to the training when needed and draw on your up-line if possible to show the strength of the team.

Hi,

The first investment new affiliates should be willing to make is time. There are several things that they should spend time doing.

First, daily they should spend time doing the to do list in order to build a habit of building your business.

Next, they should spend time learning. They should read a little bit each day and learn a new concept. They should also review the lessons they learn until they are comfortable with the concepts they are learning.

After that, they should be spending time promoting SFI through both free and paid advertising. They should be exploring different ways and places to promote SFI and testing with keycodes so they can learn what works and what isn't worth their time.

They should also develop a budget that works for them as for what they can spend on advertising and making purchases at TripleClicks.

In order for your affiliates to consider their SFI business as a real business, you should be up front with them in explaining how the business works, how business in general works and what you do in your business in order to grow. Offer them as much help as you are capable of giving, without doing the work for them. Remember, duplication is the key to long term income in this business and you want them to be able to do for their affiliates the same that you do for them. If they are still looking for the get rich quick business model, I would explain to them that there truly is no such thing. All businesses are based on sales of some sort to create a profit. Our compensation is a result of that profit and our part in generating it. There really is no other way to be successful.

Hi,

In answering your question, it may or may not be a good idea. It depends on your own situation. If you are already seeing success, then recruiting family members will be easier and they are more willing to listen to your explanation of the business.

As happens with many MLM or Network Marketing businesses, family members will generally have a negative opinion( especially in the US), based on rumors and a mis informed understanding of the business. Many times they are closed minded because they feel they are "looking out" for your best interests. Convincing them otherwise can be difficult and they will try to talk you out of it.

Most family members do have your best interests in mind, but they just do not know the truth about how the business works. At the same time, you have this great opportunity and want to share your good fortune with your family. That is admirable and should be approached carefully so that you do not alienate anyone by being too aggressive. Once they are turned away in a negative way, it will be even harder to turn them around. A gentle approach is best,
