Hi, Mary:
I have mixed feelings about each of these choices, whether an SFI Co-op or a blog about SFI has more value.
Both have good points and bad points and in the end, the scale balances just about equally for both choices.
1. Creating Your Own SFI Co-op:
Good Point: A co-op is a great way to reward and support your team members!
Bad Point: Finding a source to provide ACTIVE recruits. There are several dependable services that do provide "sign-ups", but I have not yet found one that provides any respectable number of ACTIVE sign-ups.
2. Starting a Blog About SFI:
Good Point: Starting and maintaining a blog focused on SFI is a great way to build interest, attract potential affiliates, and qualify the serious ones. The biggest challenge you will face with a blog is getting a steady stream of traffic.
Bad Point: In my experience with a variety of recruiting methods, including blogging, most prospects will not sign up for SFI and of those who do, most will not get active or stay active in SFI. Most people are looking for "the easy way" that does not require expense or effort on their part. Most who do join SFI eventually get drawn away to other opportunities where the promoters are skilled at making promises that they cannot deliver on, like "It's easy!" and "Everything is done for you!"
There is no program available that is like that. If it was easy, they wouldn't need you!
So, bottom line to your question about which is better, a blog or a co-op, I say they are equal in their challenges and equal in the results they will produce ... so ... the BEST thing to do is do BOTH!
