First, I would like to thank you for bringing this important question to ASK SC. Setting contests helps a lot in SFIMG. It makes inactive affiliates become active and active affiliates become super active. Prizes that can be used for the contests are Gift Certificates, PSAs and TCredits.
The best to use of all is the PSAs. Many new affiliates are not new to only SFI but to the world of internet marketing and so find it herculean sponsoring affiliates since they do not know what to do. This makes some of them give up. Yes, it happened to me! And it is still happening to others. Some have the money to be EAs but don’t know how to recruit. I highly recommend using PSAs in contests and rewards. If you can, let them know that anyone who makes EA2 or above will be in your COOP and will remain in your COOP as long as he/she remain an EA2 or above. When they see their team growing, they then have a reason to stay above as the leader. Don’t worry about the money you spend in advertising to get the Affiliates! You are building your team and remember the MATCHING VP part of SFI.
The second is the Gift Certificates! The GC is like sending money… the only difference is that the GC can only be spent on TripleClicks. One thing I like about GC is that you get your money back if they don’t spend it and if they spend it, you get the CV :).
The TCredits! TCredits is TripleClicks own kind of money. You can set this as a contest for product listing purposes for some affiliates.
Do whatever you can above to draw their attention. Ask them to know what they want for a contest. They are not just your SFI affiliates but your friends. Hear from them! Keep the communication line open.
Wishing you success In your Business!
