If you enjoy blogging, have a chosen niche with knowledge about that niche, a hosted blog can be effective. Blogs are simple to set up and easy to maintain.

A website is of greater value when completed, it is like your business property. A website gives you more credibility as you brand yourself.

My advice is for you to go for a website with a blog, most sitebuilders have a blogging feature so you get the best of both a website and a blog.

Your website would have several pages such as:
-Home
-Contact
-Blog
-Splash

You post to your blog regularly. Advertise and promote the blog page as your blog. You can share each post to social network while promoting your site.

On each page you can advertise SFI in various ways. You can promote a splash page or your Home page.

You can start with a free website. When you have set up you can then proceed to upgrade to a paid hosting with your own domain.

You can also start with paid hosting and purchase a domain name.

Hope this helps.

I think combination of blog and website is the best solution. Personally, i have connected my blog with my website- website is for advertising, while i use blog to post interesting articles few times a day.

Website looks more proffesional, blog looks more warm and personal.
The advantage of the website is that everyone are used to seing adverts on websites, and expect a website to offer some kind of product or a business opportunity.

The advantage of a blog is it's interactivness- you can post several times a day good quality, short posts and attract your audience.

If you would use both, you could set up a website that contains, for example, registration page, important official info on SFI, banners, images etc and also a page that sais BLOG wich redirects readers to your blog.

A blog you should use to write about your daily experiences in SFI- what you did today, what's new at TC, your accomplishments, winnings...all that could be great topics for bloging about SFI frequently. You should also have MY WEBSITE page or button on your blog, which would redirect a reader to your website.

Of course in terms of costs, the internet blog or cafe is more cost-effective than the regular hosted website, because they are provided free to you by local portal sites in each country.

I have run three different local blogs from which I make some local traffic and get some active SFI PSAs. Of course they are not all active but some of them consist of my teams key pillars.

I have set up another internet cafe only for local SFI affiliates in my group in which we help each other and share information etc. I poured lots of my time and energy into these for the past three months, but they work now and I am so happy with that.

The regular hosted website involves some costs for annual domain and web design charges etc. But if you can develop them particularly in sound English with sophisticated SEO strategies, I think it would work for you as well. But my personal recommendation for you is to set up your own blogs or internet cafe first in your local language, then furthermore develop your own website as a next step, if necessary.

I hope this would help you.

Have a great and wonderful day.

My straight answer to this question is BOTH. A regular website and a blog when properly used are very effective channels for advertising SFI business online. This is because both regularly attract online traffic in form of “hits” which every online marketer badly needs to expose the “wares” he/she is marketing online. The higher the traffic, the higher the chances of hits, conversions and sales! Sometimes, you can even combine both by hosting your blog in your website.

However, what really matters here is the volume of traffic either the regular website or the blog attracts. You can use Google Hits Tracking Tools to detect accurately how many unique visitors come to your site hourly/daily. If it is your website or your blog which manages to attract more traffic, that should be preferable to the other. That is the one which can be classified as “most effective” for advertising SFI in line with the demands of your question.

If however you are hosting your blog in your website, it is like using one stone to kill two birds. The regular blog posts on the site can help to keep the contents fresh to the delight of Search Engines. If the Engines rank your site very highly, it helps with higher traffic volume which is very good for your advertising. You can also hyperlink very unique terms and phrases in your content which lead to your SFI Gateways and TripleClicks shop. That is another very effective way to advertise SFI business online.

Hope this answer helps?

I would say that both these should be used. They can work together and complement each other. In fact more than 1 blog would be even better. You could have a blog about an interest of yours which could be linked via the content in some way to SFI or TripleClicks with ads on it for SFI and TripleClicks, and also directing readers to your website. Then you could have a 2nd blog specifically about SFI or TripleClicks.

Your blogs should be updated about 3 times per week. The blog is where you build relationships with your readers and gain their trust. They may not respond to your ads the first few times they read your articles, that is why it is necessary to keep it updated. Post on Facebook when there is a new post they may be interested in reading.

Your website is more static with articles about different aspects of SFI and TripleClicks and perhaps other businesses you may be involved in as well as articles relating to earning an income at home or online. There should be links from your website to your blog and to your squeeze pages.

I hope this is a help to you and good luck!

While both are equally effective in your advertising, unless you have a regular hosted website that is already drawing in visitors the blog will get visitors to your website quicker than the regular hosted website.

The reason for this is the content is more likely to be changing and updating far more often on a blog than a regular website. I would suggest an updated article at least every other day until you have 50 plus articles on your blog. You can then ease off a little bit but you still need to be updating your blog regularly.

Once you have a blog running and drawing in visitors then you can go about building a regular website and promoting it in the search engines. Whether you go for a blog or a regular website you are going to have to take particular notice of your search engine optimization.

I hope this helps you and wish you every success in your SFI business

I would say a blog as the search engines LOVE fresh, new content, so ensure it is optimized.

The SFI and TripleClicks business gives so much to talk about, you would have plenty to add to your blog on a regular basis.

You can add your gateway links and banners to your blog.

You can invite your team members to comment on your blog posts (and do the same for them on their blogs), as the amount of traffic and interaction on your blog increases your search engine rankings.

You can also set up a FB fanpage and Twitter account, then set up your blog to publish new posts automatically to your FB page. This way you can get around the SFI blocks on FB and Twitter as you can post links to your own blog instead.

Best wishes :)

Well my take on this will be that a Free set Up Blog about SFI should be a better deal for a start for beginners and as and when the traffic gets huge and you have attained a big bandwidth then I say it's a good problem them go for a regular hosted website then

So just focus on starting a blog and remember to look around do some research and model after the better ones ,keep the layout and navigation simple no flash however some YouTube videos will be good and remember that consistency is key that is keep regular updates say once to twice a week and load up the various TripleClick and Pricebenders auctions winnings Specials, zebra or time machine Games Specials up or Niches Products from your T-Connect or other ECA pages.

Just do it and don't worry too much as its never a one time thing as you can subsequently tweak or fine tune or add or delete some stuff to enhance and make it even better along the way so have fun and see you at the top soon.

Both are useful. As you have mentioned the word ‘most effective’ – I suggest blog. A regular hosted website will meet up your main purposes

But you can use and utilize your blog for the following purposes

Share your success in SFI in a regular basis

Post SFI latest news, your daily performance, articles regarding some important matter which you think to be highlighted immediately or anything else several times in a day. Use marketing aids provide by SFI as you wish for your blog

You can teach, motivate, inspire your down line members and to bring them to your blog to check and leave a comment to make your blog more successful

So we can come to a conclusion that it is better to use a blog for advertising SFI in a most effective way than a regular hosted website although website performs an important role to advertise and help to reach to a large assembly of people

Hope this will be helpful to you

Hello and thanks for asking

To advertise SFI both website and blog is good, only

Websites are not the same throughout the world. In some part of the world
mainly what we call ‘static’ websites, online business brochures, somewhere
the visitor can confirm a business after a networking experience or a referral is eminent.
They do not interact with their visitors, and many are on the way to becoming
obsolete because they do not compete with the whizz-bang websites.

A blog is useful for search engine optimization, since you can update a blog with fresh content. The more frequently you update
your blog the more frequently the crawlers will come crawl your site and accordingly will get good ranking in search engine.

So from business point of view for SFI I would recommend both. As far as a business, brands, products, or services are concerned you should have both. Since a website is considered to be an
online presence of your company, business or brands, therefore it is compulsory to have a website.

Hope it helps cheers
