You come to a point where you have concluded that your approach in attracting new affiliates isn’t working. It’s time to analyze your approach to attract new affiliates. Write down your current approach and compare it with the points list below. Have you tried to implement the marketing methods found in the Marketing Center extensively?

What you should do:

- Approaching your warm market, people you know and know you.
How you present the TC Gift Cards or TC X-Card to family, friends or co-worker matters. Just telling them to check out your TripleClicks gateway or handing them the TC Gift/X-Card can be disastrous. Probably as a new networker you’re not prepared to handle their questions and objections. Instead of just telling them your new business opportunity, spend time finding out about their life. Ask them questions how they spend time with their families, about their jobs/business and how they’re planning for their financial future. You’ll be surprised to find out more about their life’s stress like working long hours to meet their needs, depriving their families or friends in spending time with them, downsizing in their companies or no money for vacations. From here you can present SFI/TripleClicks opportunity. You can ask them if they’re open to a possible solution and if they ‘re interested then you can present your business opportunity.

- Employ content marketing.
Create content that people will be attracted to and want to share with others. This is often referred to as Attraction marketing, which is informational and educational to your visitors/customers as they browse your SFI website/blog. What resource can you offer or skill that you have acquired in your years of experience with your SFI business that is valuable to your target prospects? Include articles, blog posts, testimonials and along with your own perspective to establish your own insight on the topic.

If you try to approach people to sell a business opportunity like SFI, you’ll face most likely with rejection. People don’t like being force to join or buy something. When the opportunity comes such as explaining that SFI can be a source of substantial income for everyone, you need to carefully consider the situation when and how to do it.

When and how to present SFI as an opportunity to earn substantial income?

- Opportunity knocks when you less expected.

Besides SFI, I have a full time work. I have allocated around 2 hours before my full time job starts, doing SFI To-Do List in the morning. My colleague happened to browse at my tablet, while doing SFI To-Do List. He saw my photo on my SFI homepage and started asking me questions about what I’m doing. I clicked SFI BASICS and started to explain each step in clear brief summary. SFI BASICS is an excellent source of information what SFI is all about. In that same day, he wanted more information, so he invited me to his house and showed him more touching subjects like multiple income streams that SFI offers to its affiliates. I didn’t expect him to join that night but he did.

- Presenting SFI before friends, relatives or to your local community

Presenting SFI before people you know or to group of people in your local community when there is a cultural event, require planning. You need to do your marketing campaign to inform them about your SFI presentation. The difference here is that you’re presenting SFI opportunity before groups of people. You need to be prepared and look professional in our presentation. Because our subject is about earning substantial income in SFI, you’ll need to consider how you are going to present it to them. Your success here will depend on how prepared you are, such as your chosen media of presentation (Power point presentation with your laptop or distribute prints from SFI BASICS). Focus on the 4 SFI BASICS:

1. Start earning money by accumulating VPs

2. Increase your earnings by generating sales at TripleClicks.com

3. Maximize your income with sponsoring and duplication.

4. Add supplemental income streams. Earn 15% commissions on CSAs including matching VPs, Refer ECAs, and SFIPPA.

Don’t forget to distribute TC Gift Cards/TC X-Card.

Your SFI leadership page is an important tool for guiding, motivating, inspiring and staying connected with your team members.

How can you effectively use your Leadership Page in motivating and inspiring your team?

- Use the blog section of your leadership page to keep your team members up-to-date with exciting news about the growth of your overall SFI organization. Let them know about your latest marketing plan and strategy in expanding the growth of your SFI business. The higher your SFI ranks badge the more inspired and motivated to follow your suggestions and recommendations. Keep your blog fresh with good content to keep them inspired and motivated.

- Use your blog section to show your team the outcome of their collected efforts. You can mention to them that your badges such as SFI Rank, Overall Power Rank and Fast-Track PSAs are not the result of your effort as their Team Leader alone but most importantly with their efforts too of re-qualifying to the next rank or moving up to the next rank. By doing this you’re inspiring the performance of your team members connecting the dots of their efforts. You’re leading an example to them and will most likely follow your lead.

- The Greeting section is an excellent tool to motivate and inspire your team. Your team are most inspired when their Team Leader takes the time to know them and show that they have their best interests at heart. Your choice of words in your introduction to your team members will let them know in what way you’ll be supporting them. A powerful expression of support is when you include: “I will always do my best to help you the best I can. I'm at your service!” coupled with actions.

- Let your team members do their jobs well by guiding and showing them the right tools and support to make them better at carrying out their roles & responsibilities in growing their SFI business. Use the Leadership Page Recommendations Manager for that. Let them know in this section what SFI/TC products, services and resources you recommend to step up the level and improve their performance in operating their own SFI business.

Be a great teacher, but quickly shift into facilitator mode. Your team are inspired when given the opportunity to learn how to do things that maybe new to them. Stop lecturing and start teaching.

- Another way of effectively inspiring and motivating your team is through the Rewards/Incentives section. For example, you’ll earn trust with your team members and inspire their performance, when you reassign affiliates to them for achieving EA2 or higher. By doing so, you’re expressing your trust and you believe in them. People are inspired and motivated when they know that their Team Leaders believe in their capabilities to deliver.

- Use the Recognition section to show your respect, not just your recognition. When you announce the accomplishment, the reaching of milestones and the contest winners of those to your team members, you’re showing your respect and admiration for their achievements. You’re also creating an environment that will help inspire and motivate them to grow and prosper.

- Give them your best tip in their personal development and growth. Share your words of inspiration and motivation to success in “My Best Tip” section.

Inspiring and motivating your team members to optimally perform requires a Team Leader who can see beyond the obvious in people. Inspiration comes not from something that you turn on and off, but rather from constant behavior – triggered through multiple ways – that makes your team members feel that they matter and that you genuinely care.

If you're most interested in having your ads appear next to relevant content, then using keywords for your campaigns or ad groups might be the right choice for you. To answer your question on what keywords are best to use when placing ads is not as simple as one might think.

Consider the following points when using keywords for your ads:

- Choose your keywords carefully. Find out what makes a good keyword. The keywords for your ads should be relevant and specific to your SFI business. Google looks for relevance of your keywords. Using Google Search, when someone types your keywords, he/she should be searching for business exactly like yours. Eventually people who click on your ad would be predisposed towards joining your SFI business.

- Know what online home based business opportunity seekers look for.
Imagine looking for online home based business, what words phrases are you going to type into Google?

- Putting it all in one
Your keywords and phrases should be closely linked to the wording in your ads and that in turn should match exactly the words and phrases you have installed on your website and on your landing page.

- Focus on being specific and targeted
Do not use terms or words that are too general. Adding keywords that are not related to your ad in order to generate lots of traffic — many of the people you attract won’t be interested in your offer. In general single keywords are often too generic whereas two or three-word phrases are usually more targeted

- Use variations of keywords
Think how your visitors would use different terms to search what you’re offering. Consider the alternative spellings as well as singular and plural versions. You can even list common misspellings.

- To get started, use Google’s keyword tool
Use Google Keywords Tool to expand your list of keywords. Submit a keyword and choose relevant and high-ranking words from the results. The tool would generate initial ideas, which you can use to form the best words and phrases in order to generate even more specific ideas. The Website Content option is another effective tool at your disposal. It is very useful in finding the most relevant keywords from your own website. If you have a lot of keywords, it is a good idea to create separate campaigns based on a few tightly-focused keywords. The AdWords Help Tool is great in showing a list of relevant user queries that have occurred on Google.com, based on your URL.

- What options are available in keyword matching?
In Google there are four ways to match keywords: broad, phrase, exact and negative match. The use of punctuation when typing your keywords indicates which type of matching you’re looking for. Broad match is for any word that includes your keywords list. Phase match is for highly specific and for closely targeted. If someone type your entire keyword phrase your ad will appear. Exact match is for identical keyword phrase.

Don’t forget also to include language and location targeting. You have the option of changing language and location settings so that your ads will come up in front of the people you’re looking for to do business with you. Customising your target will mean that your ad will only be shown to people who are searching for results in an area that you specified.
