Tell them to advertise, advertise, advertise! Simply tell them they can do it all for free and never pay anything - post to blogs, facebook, twitter, place banners on a website etc. The great thing is when they do this - they actually doing it for YOU, because others will be sure to join and they will be in YOUR downline. So don't be tempted to think - why did these guys join if they don't want to pay anything - instead turn the negative into a positive. The other point is to remind them that they

How should you advise your downline--who have never run a business before--how to proceed with advertising?

Always concentrate on text ads, don't try anything flashy, the simple things always work the best. Always remember to track your ads so that the ones that are performing the best are the ones you go for time and time again. Don't expect fantastic results - remember steady as she goes is the best policy - consider the tortoise and the hare, the tortoise is slow and dedicated but wins over the hare who is very quick but soon gives up

The best way is always simple text ads - a simple two or three line text ad posted just about anywhere you can. But dont just think about recruiting affiliates as the only track - in fact you will earn good money by promoting the products such as the nutritional and slimming products, and the IAHBE membership - best of all use these products yourself so that the containers are there on display at home and people will ask you what they are - then you can explain and ask them if they would like some

Reach out to everyone in your team - if you leave it to their sponsor then they may receive no support at all

How can I best respond to an affiliate who feels they worked hard but are unhappy with their first commission?

Like any business you start small and build bigger. Yes there will often times be alot of work required - but the rewards and worth it. As your downline grows exponentially what you are earning now will also grow exponentially, and then you will wonder how you earn so much every month for so little effort, and you will thank your lucky stars that you kept on and didn't give up

NOTHING! There is no need to spend money on advertising as most such advertising services are not worth the paper they are written on. The way it goes is like this - how do I make money online - answer - start an advertising service - along comes some guy who wants traffic to his site - bingo you made money. So the bottom line is most so called advertising services wont work for you. Those services that will "work" will be too expensive i.e. you will get "results" but the cost

SFI is truly the king of online opportunitites. This is for a number of reasons, but first I would highlight TRAINING. The training that SFI provide in your members area is second to none, and whatever you do online, or wherever your online marketing career takes you the information provided in your training pages will stand you in good stead. Second I would mention PRODUCTS. The reason most online income opportunities fail is because there are no products. A business without products is not - repeat

Best answer is Do Not Use! Traffic Exchanges are full of people viewing other people's pages that they are not interested in, i.e. they never look at anything they see, only just mindlessly surf for credits. So the fastest way to ZERO results is the traffic exchange programs. Better is to use text ads which have out performed all other advertising methods for years and years. Also use blogs, twitter, facebook posts, forum posts etc. If you spent the same time you waste on traffic exchanges on text

Test which one gets the best response - from my experience text type banners are the best e,g, a text message appearing as a banner, which you can create yourself with a bit of basic graphics skill, you could base it on the authorised ads, and upload that to your website
