You are a wise marketer by asking this question. You will succeed because of implementing this often neglected BUT very fundamental step and plan in advertising.
Failure to track your advertising is not only a VERY unwise ad strategy but a sure recipe for failure online.
Is is no longer an option. It is NECESSARY that you do so if you want to be successful online. Every successful guru marketer knows and does it all the time.

Having said that. Use SFI key-codes in ALL of your advertising especially those set to track your advertising. The system is able to register a sign up or a PRM etc, or whatever activity you decide to put your tracking efforts into.
To get started go to power tools, tabs and then key-codes and take some time to read and familiar yourself with the instructions and various types of key-codes available

To find those key-codes once you get started look through your Activity Notifications or Genealogy. The instant feedback you get on you advertising helps you know which ad sites are performing well and which ones are throwing your money away.

Examples of key-code advertising
http://www.sfi4.com/xxxxxxxx.12

OR
http:www.sfi4.com/xxxxxxxx.12/FREE (x representing your SFI Affiliate ID)

This works when you are advertising your FREE SFI gateways. The key-code is usually up to 4 numbers which is your key-code for tracking.

A paid ad on Microsoft Bing ads for example would have key-code "12" and another ad on a solo ad advertising would have key-code "13" etc

Please note that only those that garner min 1000 VP'S monthly can use Key-codes by SFI policy.Using key-codes with SFI is the easiest I have found so far cos it's as easy as adding your key-codes to the URL's you are promoting. Nothing complicated

In summery, hit tracking helps you to track multiple ads to the same gateway to help you know the non performers from the performing ads.
After establishing from your tracking results which ads/traffic sources perform best, you can then concentrate most advertising effort in either tweaking your opt-in/squeeze/landing pages if you are using your own or simply concentrate all of your ads spend into the traffic source that performs and converts best and that's a beautiful thing indeed

So don't throw your money away by not tracking....

Hi Marlene

You are Intelligent indeed by asking this type of question.

By asking this question I would like to assume that you are already familiar with SFI's inbuilt tracking and Key-code system for organizing and tracking your advertising (i.e traffic source, conversions etc)
Personally, In order to keep track of what codes I used previously in my advertising I use Open Microsoft's Office's spread sheet. I find it a handy organizing tool in that regard.

Of course it is always VERY necessary to track your ads as an Internet marketer or Affiliate marketer especially when you are spending hard earned money as ad spend. If you decide to focus on a lesser complicated tracking system like the one provided by SFI then You can simply monitor all that through your Activity Notifications or genealogy
For reference notes and more on this kindly refer to: https://www.sfimg.com/PowerTools/KeyCodeTracking
and https://www.sfimg.com/PowerTools/HitTracking

Additionally there is a piece of software called sugarCRM. It is complete CRM solution that automates your core sales, customer service and marketing processes, with a focus on the individual. This would work great if you would like to effectively manage TripleClicks ECA's, purchases from your ECA store, etc. As an ECA using it you get powerful functionality, driving higher adoption and greater business insights.

If however you would like to venture out of SFI. There are so many great tracking systems and software that you can use to set up, organize and track ALL your advertising in one place. These systems have great inbuilt tools that can be used to keep track of and manage all of your advertising in one central location(your account) at a couple clicks.

Having said that one of the best and most popular one's I have seen being used by many marketers is hypertracker
For a small monthly fee this powerful ad and tracking manager can help you effectively manage all of your Ad work in one place. With this tool you could even split test your advertising to see which landing/opt-in or squeeze page is converting the best. Your own website with an autoresponder would help you leverage this tool better

If you have a Wordpress website you could try using the WP-plugin called WP-tracker to help you set up, organize and track your advertising in one place. I use it my self and have found it to be very effective. It's cost effective (one time fee). After purchase simply upload the file through the Wordpress admin area and then click on activate button and you are good to go. It tracks everything from geography, IP addresses, uniques, conversions etc

If you are a Facebook advertiser, a great Facebook tracking software called Fb ad software will give you a centralized tracking platform for all your social tracking needs. The other piece is called qwaya which is equally great.
Others are acqusio which can help you automatically encode all of your Facebook ads created. You can effectively track the performance all of your ads down to the specific audience segment and variables you have selected.

In conclusion, at the end of the day it's all going to boil back to tracking tools and which ones work the best, to set up, organize and track all your Advertising in one place for optimal results plus how much you are willing to spend as budget for these tools. So the choice is really up to you. If you are tight look for the one's with a one time fee for starters.

Every businesses Online needs a place to call home. That home is your website and that is where your visitors or traffic visit.
I did a little research and discovered that most SFI successful team leaders have their own websites for SFI business. There's lots of great reasons why you need your own site but these are my best.

BEST REASONS WHY YOU NEED ONE

You can get noticed easily by search engines by Adding your own content on a regular and continued basis. You can use articles your affiliates submit, providing exposure for them, along with a link back to their SFI Gateway or personal Website.

By setting up a form on your Web page, this allows you to collect visitors' names and e-mail addresses. Set the form to post the information to your Auto-responder e.g Aweber, Getresponse, Icontact etc or a database on your site. Make sure to check with your Web host for instructions on setting this up.

Improves Credibility. For your SFI business to have more Impact and better results you need to improve on your credibility as an Internet marketer and as an SFI Team Leader.Having your own website enhances that.

With Your Own website, You can provide helpful FAQs for your team members, providing a simple page in which to direct your new affiliates for questions. I have seen this work great with most team leaders here in SFI.

The Internet evolves every often so creating your own site allows you to learn a lot about today's technology and gain experience from it. So as it evolves, you evolve with it and are not caught by surprise. As you grow more confident with running your own site and online business, you can pass this valuable knowledge on to others.

The skills learned from setting up your own online business and website can be sold in the form of content for other sites. For example E-books on how to drive massive traffic, how to design landing or squeeze pages etc

Having your own website gives you the freedom to present and emphasize the information you want the way you want to. You create your own brand and personalize it. You become an expert in a certain area of marketing that you decide to master.

You can set up a blog on your site. You get to learn how to use CPanel, hosting etc Posting to your blog on a regular basis will improve your site's exposure on the search engines and that is a very beautiful thing indeed.

There was a question asked previously about whether it is OK to have a Forum in another language. Yes it is and I would like to add that, You can create a forum where your SFI team members can find and help one another or You could help them all if you like. You could even make a private forum for your SFI Team Members only.

One other great reason is that You can host a site for your "technology challenged" affiliates. It could be as simple as just another page within your main Website. For instance, you could create "sfihighrollers.com/XXXX," where XXXX is affiliate's SFI ID. You could also use the affiliate's name or company name.If you looked at how SFI was built, it was built to replicate so that every new Affiliate that joins has a copy of the same page. So you can promote your SFI by doing the same if you can

You can automate your e-mail follow up tasks by installing your own auto-responder on your Web server. It would be better if you host the auto-responder yourself. This eliminates monthly fees for a separate auto-responder service.

With Your own site you can offer more training options for your team with ebooks, software, and special reports in a downloadable format. My up line does this often. You could borrow a leaf on more of this from the IAHBE membership site if you are a member.

You can send e-mail using your chosen domain name. e.g(yourdomain.com)

You can deliver sales on training messages by Providing an RSS feed from your site without needing someone's e-mail address. This helps you expand your reach to prospective customers.

You can setup a page for exchanging relevant links to other Websites. This could help you improve your search engine rankings, this would then increase the traffic arriving at your website.

If you are always being rejected by Facebook whenever you try to advertise, By copy/pasting some code, you can setup a Web page to redirect to another page, letting you "hide" long, awkward links with affiliate numbers that' are often rejected by many search engines and advertising places. Services such as tinyurl, goo.gl for Google etc will be very helpful in this

It is very possible for you to attractively frame your own SFI Gateways by setting up a page. People love beautiful Images and that's "sticky" traffic for your website.

Your own website makes your training information and tips easily available to your affiliates. You can chose to restrict access to certain tools by use of passwords or not. It's totally up to you.

Your own Website allows you to then join Traffic sites, safe-lists and other traffic exchanges for some free traffic.

Lastly you can add relevant audio, video, and other multimedia content to your site to improve the attractiveness and effectiveness of your offer. I find WordPress very compatible and easy to use for beginners. I learned most of what I know now from WordPress and you too can.

All products at TripleClicks are great for sale. However one of things I consider before promoting any product among others is whether I like it. While there are countless likable products at TripleClicks, I have learned that just like your professional career, if you don't like what you do, you will hate it and struggle to progress forward. You won't enjoy it!

So, I must like the product I am promoting first before jumping into it.
Why? Because liking a product is helpful. It makes it much easier for you to create emails, share information and promote products. You'll enjoy it!

Besides that,I also consider factors that may lead to that products success or failure with my marketing efforts such as;

Can I market this product online in a profitable way?

Are customers in this niche known to buy?
For your business to be profitable, people need to be willing to actually spend money on your products.

Will the product be affordable enough to compete favorably and attract sales?
Not too low in price and not too high neither.

What is the products competitive advantage?
The one thing/s that makes your product stand out from the huge crowd?

Does the product appeal to a mass market?
A mass market means the product is on demand and people are likely to buy.

Will that product fulfill the needs of my market niche with minimal refunds?
I love it when a customer emails me back to thank me because the product I recommended helped them solve their problem. That gives me great Joy.

Lastly, Is There Competition?
You must be thinking. Wait a minute! Competition? Yes! Without mincing my words. competition is good. Why? Because without competition it is very difficult to tell if a product is on demand or not. When you see many Affiliates promoting that product, it's a good sign they are making sales. All you have to do is plug in.

Of course you can complement all that with a little bit of market research for the products that require that but there are products like Pricebenders that do not require much or no market research at all. They are already "HOT" and "green" and can get you started fast because the market is huge.

Those are the principles that generally govern choosing a product to market Online and I am pretty sure the same applies here too. So in choosing a product to promote, if your product has most or all of the YES'S to the above principles, then that may be a green light to move forward with your marketing efforts.

An offer isn't just any old product. It is relevant and Interesting both to you and to your niche and it's exciting because of all the value that it delivers.

Again, one such great product I find 'ever green'to promote is Pricebenders.You can easily earn an additional $75-$200 plus each month promoting Pricebenders because it is an ever green product.

You're simply selling TCredits used for bidding, rather than a typical product or service. Each time someone buys a pack of TCredits for bidding, you'll be earning commissions! Pricebenders has been boosting the paychecks of many affiliates since day one and you too can plug in and start.

However the choice is really yours because you have to like what you promote of course.

All the best.

3.SFI puts the marketing muscle of over 1 million SFI affiliates to work for you, promoting and selling your products and services in over 20,000 cities in over 190 countries! Man!, that's huge compared to how much you would charged for just a fraction of that.

4.No listing fees required and no risk. Simply sign up, upload your products, and start taking orders. TripleClicks retains a nominal amount only when you make a sale.

5.TripleClicks further facilitates sales growth for you by providing you with your own, customized "TConnect" Website, a multitude of payment options for your customers, wish lists, gift registries, and lots more!

As with TripleClicks standard program, for any orders, they'll take care of all payment processing for you and forward orders on to you for fulfillment.

This is cool as there is no more waiting till month end to get paid.

Dear Sue

The answer is YES you can, and you can offer them assistance in various aspects of their business from the Initial set up stage to the advanced marketing stages later.

SFI already offers support and help to new ECA's in follow up, product listing etc That is why after you refer an ECA and they take the first Initial step of sign up, SFI informs you that your work in dealing with this ECA is literally done. Not suggesting that you should now grab yourself a cup of coffee and relax and watch the money start flowing in but that TripleClicks is offering great support to help your ECA's get started.

However, in spite TripleClick's clear Instructions for setting up an ECA store, it is still a good idea for you to help them.

I have noticed that most ECA prospects either don't want to do the job of setting up their store or are simply very lazy and so keep postponing doing it altogether. This causes unnecessary delays. Here's where you come in.

Offer to Offload that burden from them and you will have a 98% success rate with ECA's doing business with you. Kindly note that this may require you to;

1. Have the necessary knowledge and basics of setting up an ECA store.

2. If possible be an ECA yourself because this gives you experience and knowledge in handling ECA prospects

In the Initial stages of the ECA store's set up, offer to do some market research for them. Find out the Hottest selling products online and advise them to list those hot sellers first in their store. Offer them Tips and reports on market trends etc

Help them by writing clear product descriptions, product features and their benefits. Also help them by writing concise presentations about their products.

Connect with their ECA stores so your a2a friends can see the ECA's you connect with and if you are successfully promoting your ECA's products, the fire will catch on and spread bringing you residuals from those that decide to promote your ECAs.

Advise them to offer attractive competitive prices for their products to have a competitive advantage. Most ECAs already tend to charge a somewhat lower price than they offer elsewhere. There are also options for ECAs to create special weekly sales, designate closeout prices etc

A higher commission volume to Affiliates promoting this ECA would be a great advantage too because many Affiliates would want to promote a product with bigger pay parks.

Lastly one of the BEST ECA tips you can give them is this:

TripleClicks requires that all ECAs pay a minimum of 15% of the sale price of their products to TripleClicks. However if you suggest to them about why they should consider a higher percentage?

There are two reasons why they should if they can:

1. The higher the percentage, the higher SFI displays their products in search results.

2. TripleClicks has tens of thousands of affiliates who will be promoting their products and will naturally gravitate toward the products with the highest margins because this earns them higher sales commissions as previously mentioned and that means great residuals and commissions to you for the life of that ECA.

I have generally found out when recruiting ECAs that it is wise to start locally by pitching the very shops you go to shop in every week because it's easier and faster due to the Camaraderie you share with them. Always do it FREE and at no cost to them and they shall be happy to do business.

TripleClicks already greatly aspires to become one of the world's best Online stores with lots of Variety of products to sell globally.

ADVICE TIPS:

Make sure they have clearly read and understood the ECA Rules. In summery:
They should be reputable, established companies that sell quality, non-controversial products or services. Companies that have a physical retail store or who create or manufacture their own products. Companies must also be responsive to SFI requests, they must process orders promptly, and they must stand behind their products with appropriate return policies.

Aside from the Strict rules stipulated by SFI policy about what products can/can't be sold at TripleClicks such as porn, drugs, etc which every ECA prospect must adhere to, your ECAs can sell any products of choice and the following tips will help give them a heads up

1.Hot sellers

Ask them to list products starting with the one's that are the best sellers in their local store. Since these products are already selling well locally it will not be difficult for them to sell likewise in their online store. some of these products could be everyday products like lotions,toothpaste, soap, sugar, salt etc
These products because of the frequency of their use attract possible monthly SO's earning you lucrative sustained residuals

2.Market research

If your ECA has products that are highly competitive in the online world such as those in the ever green niche like weight loss, dieting etc, it would be a good idea to find out which of those products are selling the most and advise your ECA accordingly based on your findings. You can also help them boost sells by promoting those very products through a referral link generated for you by paid advertising like PPC, PPV etc

3.They Can sell Unwanted stuff but in GOOD condition

Yes! Your ECA might have great stuff sitting in their attic and yet have no idea how to sell them. Give them the option of listing those items in their store for sell for FREE. That way the product gets great online exposure for a possible buy out.

WHAT PRICES?

Suggest Lower Competitive Prices for Quality Products

TripleClicks is simply another sales outlet for most ECAs. Most ECAs I would imagine tend to charge the same or somewhat lower prices than they offer elsewhere. There are also options for ECAs to create special weekly sales, designate closeout prices, and so much more.

Generally, products that have a lower price range even by a penny down provided it's a quality product always wins. Why do we all scramble to bid at Pricebenders Auctions? Simple! Because the item can be won for pennies on the dollar. That's just human nature. Better prices will reward your ECAs with customer loyalty and will keep them coming.

TIP: ECAs are required to pay a minimum of 15% of the sale price of their products to TripleClicks. Now try suggesting to them about the benefits of why they should consider a higher percentage price markup and if they do, two good things happen.

1. The higher the percentage, the higher TripleClicks displays their products in search results.


2. TripleClicks has tens of thousands of affiliates who will be promoting their products and will naturally gravitate toward the products with the highest margins because this earns them higher sales commissions and VP.

And that is a beautiful thing Indeed!

Many things make me proud to be an SFI Affiliate. You asked wisely by saying MOST otherwise filling the entire page is possible.

a) I am a go getter and like to Dream Big. So when I saw the SFI slogan "Aim High, Dream Big" I said to myself I identify with that and I wanna be a part of it.

b)FREE TO JOIN
While I am aware that most "Free to join" businesses out there come with hidden hooks. My time with SFI has proven to me that it was worth my time and not a waste. Anyone else can join and start the business from any part of the world and succeed.

c)GROWTH
It has been communicated to me from a reliable source that SFI is poised to double in the next 12 months and triple in the next 2 years. This is probably the best time to be a part of and tap into this exponential and phenomenal growth. This makes me excited about the opportunities available. It is therefore one of the largest and fastest growing online marketing businesses in the world.

d)GREAT TRAINING AND EARNING ON THE JOB
SFI does not only offer great Leadership training and skills to build and grow an online business but also a potential to start immediately while learning the ropes. This is a plus and a motivational aspect for me and I bet all other affiliates like this too.

e)A CLEARLY ILLUSTRATED step by step to follow business. I like challenge and I thrive on it. I don't believe in get rich quick schemes. Anyone getting to SFI for the first time will most likely get overwhelmed. I did! But I liked the fact that I had something to challenge me for a great long time which I enjoy. I am not a fun of over night one hit wonders. Best part was the step by step guidelines in learning the business.

f)FANTASTIC CORPORATE CUSTOMER CARE
I would like to shine a light on Bonnie Carson for her great support in answering our questions always with patience and understanding. It goes without saying that behind every powerful man is a powerful woman. Gery has tirelessly offered support and answered numerous questions in the forum. That to me is a good mark of leadership. You would never see anything like that elsewhere. So Kudos to Bonnie and Gery for the Incredible support.

g)OPPORTUNITIES FOR LOCAL GLOBAL ECA'S
This comes in two fold. Firstly there is the opportunity you are offered to run and operate your own ECA store and make money out of that. Secondly there is the opportunity to offer other global businesses without an online presence a chance to become ECA'S at triple clicks from whom you earn commission for life as well.

h)TEAM LEADERSHIP TRAINING
Through SFI anyone wanting to succeed online can learn impeccable leadership skills such as communication, team support, emailing, team building etc with no prior experience whatsoever. Also helps one improve on their goal setting and time management skills.

i)A2A CONNECTIONS
To all my a2a friends you guys are great and I am inspired by you as always. Your continuous support, wise counsel and wonderful tips and experiences have added value to my business. I wouldn't have known all that I have learned if I hadn't found you all. This is getting personal yes but I am driving a point home that A2A is a great place to connect with wonderful people. Kudos to you all.

j)THE PRICE BENDERS THRILL
Whenever I get into the auctions and either bid or simply watch people tussle it out I get this thrill down my spin. It's like watching a favorite foot ball team play a game with a tough opponent. It's sweeter when you win it!

j)EARN RESIDUALS AND COMMISSIONS FOR LIFE
Yes! That's very exciting indeed. With SFI you can earn residuals from your duplication, your ECA store and ECA referrals plus PRMS and triple clicks customers for life. Even more exciting is the fact that you can pass your business in the form of a WILL to your Children and children's children to many generations to come.

"A wise man shall leave an Inheritance to his Children's Children."

There are many reasons why I like SFI but in summery those are some of the few top most ones according to me.

Many things make me proud to be an SFI Affiliate. You asked wisely by saying MOST otherwise filling the entire page is possible.

a) I am a go getter and like to Dream Big. So when I saw the SFI slogan "Aim High, Dream Big" I said to myself I identify with that and I wanna be a part of it.

b)FREE TO JOIN
While I am aware that most "Free to join" businesses out there come with hidden hooks. My time with SFI has proven to me that it was worth my time

Hello Goran

YES! Absolutely beneficial.

The SFI Forum alone helps you connect with affiliates of all experience levels from around the world. You can join in-depth discussions of SFI products and programs, brainstorm and share tips and ideas, start new threads and polls, get your questions answered and lots much. I have been a direct beneficiary of this as it's always been my first sponsor.

There are tones of SFI Affiliates that I know about whose first language is not English and yet are having tremendous success building teams through duplication and guess what? They are doing this through Private Forum marketing platforms in their own language.

Of course SFI already has a translation tool available through Google translate but for purposes of building more Trust, closer engagement, freedom of expression and interaction with people on your team whose first language is not English, a Forum would be great if you can start one.

Language barrier does not have to be an impediment to the growth and success of your business. You can succeed in this business purely by recruiting and training your country folk in your language. My cosponsor has succeeded and reached PTL recently in less than one year by doing just that.

If you would like to start your own Forum there are many platforms both paid and free. Use Google+ for hangouts and Facebook for private groups and communities.

However, there are many forums on the Internet, dedicated to many different topics. It is possible for you to have your own forum and to run it on your own. If you have ever thought of starting a forum, here are the steps to follow to learn how to start a forum.

1.Figure out what your specific Topic will be.

Since this will be your forum, it is best to pick something in which you are interested and knowledgeable for example, Best Home Biz Opportunity, SFI success tips, etc

2.Choose a forum script.

There are many different forum scripts available. It is best to start with a free forum script. Make sure that it is able to move information to another forum script should you want to change later. A good free script that does allow you to transfer your information is phpBB.

3.Find a good forum hosting program.

You can choose to set up your own message board using software if you have experience with web development. If not, you will have to have a host.

4.Start creating your forum or discussion areas.

You will want to start off with about 5 to 10 forums. They should all be related to the main topic of your board. You do not want to over categorize your forum as it many confuse and put off users. Dedicate it to SFI and the opportunity of joining your team.

5.Advertise your forum to get users.

Once your forum is up and running, you will need to have users to make your community, team or down line. If you have friends that are online and have similar interests in SFI, you can e-mail or instant message them to let them know you have started a new forum.

6.Make posts to your forum.

As the originator, you should be making posts all the time. Respond to posts by your members and start topics that will provoke conversations among the members such as running SFI team contests and awarding great prices to the top 5-10 etc

Best Wishes
