Hey guys I can tell you from experience about organizing a seminar or conference to produce SFI affiliates. In August 2012, I hosted "Platinum Celebration - Achieving the Dream with SFI." There were only about 8 of us there but there were several affiliates from Florida and 2 from Arkansas. As it turns out, Bing Obaldo was going to come but decided that he wouldn't for personal reasons.
First of all, you need to have a 'celebrity'. In other words, some one who is well known through out all of SFI. No better person to book than Gery Carson himself! Good luck with that one. Gery did give me a lot of door prizes for my guess. (Thanks again - Gery)
Secondly, you need to advertising the seminar. Local ads should be used to attract new affiliates. I asked the guess to bring 2 guess with them. (Charles Parker brought about 5 - thanks Charles!) Of course, the guess you bring become your affiliates when then sign up. But of all the local recruits, I would have divided them among the parties in attendance and they didn't even have to pay for the ads.
Thirdly, you need to have a conference room. There are places that will let you book a space for free but you need to do some checking around. Each city is different. If you are going to have a state of the are conference room with a PA systems and overhead then you may pay between 300 and 500 bucks. So you need to preregister the event so that you will now how many seats you will need. Charge the participates a fair price to cover the cost of the conference room. There are many conferences that cost upwards of 500 to 1000 dollars per seat! So when "Platinum Celebration was booked for only $25 that was a heck of a deal. About 8 people showed and 25 people were awarded prizes. Talking about generous!
All and all I had a blast sharing ideas and making friends. The one takeaway from a conference is validation. Beyond of a shadow of a doubt - you will walk away from a seminar with the reality that SFI is tangible and very real - Real Internet Income is possible with SFI. That's the ultimate goal to teach others how to make money with SFI. Much Grace to You All! - Wilg
