Step 4
By this point you should have a strong understanding of SFI and have become an Executive Affiliate. If you are not an EA at this point there is no point in continuing your training. By not being EA with a standing order you are putting your placement in the Tnet at jeopardy. The rest of this training is going to show you how to build your downline and SFI business. If you lose your place in the Tnet all the affiliates that are placed below you in the Tnet by your efforts or from “spill over” from your upline will be gone. This will be a complete waste of your time and effort.
If you are not EA today go back to step 3 and read why this is so important.
It’s time to personally sponsor new affiliates:
Before we get down to work, I want you to set a goal of how many people you are going to personally sponsor in your SFI business in the next 30 days. Write it down on your goal sheet as one of your business goals. It’s important that you keep your goal in mind as you begin to advertise your SFI gateway pages and promote the SFI opportunity. Set a goal each month and try your very best to reach it (exceed it, if you dare!). It’s important to also remember an important saying: “Some Will… Some Won’t… So What! Someone’s Waitng – NEXT!” About 10% of the people you contact about SFI will show an interest. About 10% of those people will join and 10% of those will become leaders. It’s a numbers game, so don’t take it personal or get discouraged. A good rule of thumb once you’ve set your goal is to multiply it by 10. That’s roughly the minimum number of people you will have to contact to reach your goal. Stay focused and committed and (most of all) take action!
Advertise your SFI gateway pages:
[Step 4 is divided into 4 parts: This is Part 1 - Part 2 (paid advertising) - Part 3 (free advertising) - Part 4 (free advertsing continued)]
First, let me give you a list of advertising methods to avoid:
- Link Farms or FFA Sites
- Safelists
- Auto-surf programs
- Ad blasters
- Search Engine Blasters
- Guaranteed “hits”
There are many different methods you can use to advertise your SFI business. Some of them cost money while others are free strategies. I will provide you with links to some of the advertising methods that cost money and you can use them as your budget permits. I’m also going to give you some detailed information on how to make the most of the free methods and even some free resources that you can use to help you become a master at each of those. Many successful SFI members have practiced free advertising with success. Some people will tell you that free advertising is a waste of time, but those are the ones that are simply not doing it right. Free methods do take more time, but if you’ve got more time than money than using these free methods will help you build your SFI business. No matter what advertising methods you use, be sure to track your ads so that you can figure out which methods work best for you!
Ready to begin? Well, let’s get to work then!
