That's a wonderful question.. I think that SFI has provided almost all the ways to promote our business..Every answer stated by our fellow affiliates to this question is the same that SFI provides..The question is about the online marketing methods apart from those provided by SFI..
I think of the following methods to promote my business ..
1. TEAM VIEWER: This allows the sponsor to remote control the computer of his affiliates when both are online and the affiliates can directly see the procedures.
2. SKYPE: This allows the direct face to face contact of both sponsor and affiliates thereby increasing the trust and developing the business.
3. NUMBERTANK: This allows a call of 30 minutes free everyday and thus one can call any mobile number all around the world from their computers using internet..Its the greatest tool than skype because both sponsor and PSA have to be online to communicate using skype.. But in numbertank only one is needed online.. They can call the other one's cell..
4. YOUTUBE: Design a video to elicit the greatest features of SFI like "work from home,free,steady income,trustworthy,greatest & cheapest auctions in TripleClicks, ECA programs and all other ways of income" and give all your gateways in the video..
5. POWERPOINT : Make powerpoint presentations about the activities to do, for the first month and send it to all your new affiliates, thus preventing them from quitting...
6. BLOG/WEBSITES : Of course the most powerful tool is owning a blog or website ..once it is maintained and updated well it serves as a great means of traffic..
7. TRAFFICSWARM : Become a member in this site where you can get great traffic for your SFI business..
8. LINKBUCKS : Join this ad site ... Its not free but cheap.. Here you can get target traffic of specific countries if you need..I joined SFI through this site..
9. Email TAG : Tag your SFI youtube video link to your Email id rather than the link to sfi because videos cover most people than reading the big article for which they won't have patience.. All your ads must also include the sfi youtube link..
10. VIDEO CONFERENCING : The sponsor must illustrate every aspect of SFI and make a video and this can be published during college WorkShops,Career day,PTA meetings ..etc and if the sponsor is available ,he/she can personally clarify their doubts .. If not available, through video conferencing the doubts and questions can be answered...
11. BROWSING CENTERS : In many developing countries everyone don't have internet of their own.. They go to browsing centers.. When they open the system, the home page can be set to the SFI with all one's gateways.. Thus SFI is advertised to thousands and thousands of customers every month for free ...
12. TC PURCHASERS : Some of the people who purchase from TripleClicks won't be an affiliate or TC member.. Some offers can be give to them in their next purchase if they join SFI and maintain EA status.. Once they learn about SFI they can't resist..
13. OTHERS : Almost every other tool like gift cards, free classified ads,banners,flyers ..etc, is provided by SFI..
I hope this answer helps...
