Hello Goran
YES! Absolutely beneficial.
The SFI Forum alone helps you connect with affiliates of all experience levels from around the world. You can join in-depth discussions of SFI products and programs, brainstorm and share tips and ideas, start new threads and polls, get your questions answered and lots much. I have been a direct beneficiary of this as it's always been my first sponsor.
There are tones of SFI Affiliates that I know about whose first language is not English and yet are having tremendous success building teams through duplication and guess what? They are doing this through Private Forum marketing platforms in their own language.
Of course SFI already has a translation tool available through Google translate but for purposes of building more Trust, closer engagement, freedom of expression and interaction with people on your team whose first language is not English, a Forum would be great if you can start one.
Language barrier does not have to be an impediment to the growth and success of your business. You can succeed in this business purely by recruiting and training your country folk in your language. My cosponsor has succeeded and reached PTL recently in less than one year by doing just that.
If you would like to start your own Forum there are many platforms both paid and free. Use Google+ for hangouts and Facebook for private groups and communities.
However, there are many forums on the Internet, dedicated to many different topics. It is possible for you to have your own forum and to run it on your own. If you have ever thought of starting a forum, here are the steps to follow to learn how to start a forum.
1.Figure out what your specific Topic will be.
Since this will be your forum, it is best to pick something in which you are interested and knowledgeable for example, Best Home Biz Opportunity, SFI success tips, etc
2.Choose a forum script.
There are many different forum scripts available. It is best to start with a free forum script. Make sure that it is able to move information to another forum script should you want to change later. A good free script that does allow you to transfer your information is phpBB.
3.Find a good forum hosting program.
You can choose to set up your own message board using software if you have experience with web development. If not, you will have to have a host.
4.Start creating your forum or discussion areas.
You will want to start off with about 5 to 10 forums. They should all be related to the main topic of your board. You do not want to over categorize your forum as it many confuse and put off users. Dedicate it to SFI and the opportunity of joining your team.
5.Advertise your forum to get users.
Once your forum is up and running, you will need to have users to make your community, team or down line. If you have friends that are online and have similar interests in SFI, you can e-mail or instant message them to let them know you have started a new forum.
6.Make posts to your forum.
As the originator, you should be making posts all the time. Respond to posts by your members and start topics that will provoke conversations among the members such as running SFI team contests and awarding great prices to the top 5-10 etc
Best Wishes
