Hello Lih,
It imperative to understand the two demographics fully and what they do on a daily basis so as to decide as to who you should direct your SFI adverts to.
Retired people are basically persons who have been in formal employment during their active and productive ages but they are currently at home. Some of them can engage in some kind of offline business and/ or consultancy services depending on their professional qualifications.
However, most retirees like me end up finding themselves in a very boring life with the end result of say being somehow depressed. It therefore follows that online business like SFI will be a very good occupation for this group of people. For one, the program will keep them busy and active. Two, the program will earn them some good passive income to supplement their meager pensions. I consider this to be a fertile ground for SFI business.
On the other hand, a homemaker is any person whose main job is to take care of his or her own family home and children as the other party goes to work. In most cases the work of homemaker is done by women. However, in the modern world, either party can be a homemaker.
Homemakers have got several chores that they have to perform on a daily basis, from cleaning, washing, cooking, and ironing, name it. Having cleared the daily engagements, homemakers have got some free time to relax and do other simple jobs like spinning instead of idling. That is the time they can utilize in attending to SFI business if at all they buy the idea of becoming online marketers.
In view of the foregoing, I recommend that adverts on SFI business should directed to both retire persons and homemakers because either of them has a huge potential for the business.
Hope this will help you in your marketing efforts.
Thank you and good luck.

Honestly, I don’t think it matters in the least. I mean, everyone is different regardless of what they do or who they are. I read the question about the best countries to advertise in too and again, I don’t think it really matters.

Everyone has a different motivation, values and especially differences in seeing the big picture of SFI. I think it does however, help if they have some kind a background in affiliate marketing.

The best indicator I use is if they take the time to fill out their profile completely, which tells me they are “ready to go” that says a lot about what kind of an affiliate they might be.

Hope this helps!

If I have to choose between the 2, I would say the homemakers. This is a generalization of course and its based purely on my preference.

There are some retired persons who would be great in the SFI business, just as there are homemakers who would be lousy at SFI.

The only reason why I say the homemakers is because they are generally younger, more tech savvy and up with the play with modern technology, trends etc.. and because of this are generally good marketers.

They are likely to have children/young adults and they would most likely be better TripleClicks customers as well because they are more likely to purchase products for heir family and children. The retireds can also do the same for the grandchildren etc but I suspect, not as much as the parents themselves.

The homemakers are likely to be more mobile then the retireds and would have much better opportunities at recruiting in person other younger people then the retired. They are not as restricted as the retireds. Facing up to prospects is generally more productive then recruiting online.

I also say the homemakers as they are likely to stay and be active with SFI for a much longer person then the retireds. Its simply a matter of age.

The answer of this question will be limited within two – Retired persons or homemakers. This will be not related in other fields

Obviously retired persons! Most of them are always anxious and curious to assure an income stream in their jobless days in retirement period and so that they always try to find something new either offline or online. They may be more interested in SFI as there is a golden chance to easily confirm a future income to start in early stage or contemporary period of retirement

Homemakers are not to be a target in ads for better demography in SFI as it is a Real and long term business and there is no possibilities to success overnight or a lot of dollars assurance in a short period. Homemakers starts SFI with a sweet dream to make home in distant future

Those who have already started and yet to be start SFI they can also dream to become wealthy, buy car, make home to set their goal

So we can come to a conclusion that retired persons are better demographic to target in ads than homemakers

Hope this answer will satisfy you to target your ads for better demographic

The question as to who is a better person to market to is almost unnecessary. The quick response to that question would be - both.

Both groups provide an extra perspective that SFI and your business, actually, could benefit from. The retired person has the opportunity and free time to really make this business move forward. Because there aren't but a few hours in the day that can actually be spent doing certain aspects of the business, a retired person becomes the BEST person to assist with the extra hours needed.

A homemaker, although at home, probably doesn't have all the "extra" time that retirees have, but they come with a different benefit - resources. The homemaker probably has a good allotment of daily resources - grocery stores, dry cleaners, department stores, schools, associations, friends, etc.

A homemaker can really help with marketing, while the retiree can assist with promoting those marketing opportunities... Use them both!!!

Hi,
There is a lot of common ground with these 2 demographics, so you could focus on the things they have in common and target both groups at the same time!

E.g. Both groups potentially have some free time, although I can hear many homemakers laughing at that idea!
Both groups have many people with Internet access at home and some space where they can get organised to do business from home.
Both groups have people who are out of the 'job' market and may be suffering financially from losing the opportunity to be in a regular paid job, and so have great motivation to start an online business.

On the other hand both groups have people who don't have any free time, don't have the space or Internet access needed and who don't need or want an extra income!

If you still want to target one or the other specifically then focus on that group and try to understand the life issues that they may be facing.

Do you have friends in either group? How old are you? Do you naturally relate to either group yourself? The answers to these questions can help you decide where to focus.

Firstly, retired, or close to retirement. They will be interested in SFI if they are worried about their income in retirement, especially for lower paid workers or self-employed people who often neglect their pensions contributions!
People, especially men, often worry about retiring because they think they will be bored and have no idea what to do with their spare time! These people can be very interested in starting an online business to keep their interest up and to make them feel they can still 'do' something useful, especially a business that's as flexible as SFI, even if they don't need the money!

Secondly homemakers. They often don't have much free time, but they can feel very frustrated at getting little or no contact with adults during the day! Although SFI is online and so it's not the same as seeing people face to face it's still something that gives you some contact with people and engages your brain in a different way to dealing with babies or small children!
It is true that often homemakers don't have much free time, but SFI gives amazing flexibility so that they can do a little bit whenever they get a chance, at any time of the day. Developing an online business also gives them a chance to put more effort into it when they have more time, I.e. gives them an alternative to having to go back to a full time paid job when the children are older or if they face financial difficulties. This would give the advantage of having a full or part time job but with no commuting time or costs and flexibility to spend time with the children in holidays and if they get sick, and to guarantee to be at home when the children get home from school!

I hope that helps you in trying to decide where to direct your advertising!

Actually, I think you could find successful PSAs in both groups.

Retirees might be a little restricted on available cash; benefits could be their life experiences in dealing with the public. Many factors would have bearing, including: their career field, skills acquired, how computer-savvy they are.

Homemakers likewise could be financially challenged, might have children that are still young enough to require constant attention. Those with school-age children might have more time available. They also might be more tech-savvy than retirees.

Overall, in my opinion, I believe both groups have enough benefits to balance drawbacks, therefore, advertise to both!

Hope this perspective helps...

As you take a look at this question, I can tell that your are thinking of persons who have the time on their hands. Both are great targets groups.
A person who is retired tend to look for a daily purpose to continue some sort of activity. This keeps them from being bored and at the same time, keeps their thought process active. Most retirees need a second source of income, so this is a great venture for them.
On the other hand, most homemaker feels that if they have their own source of income, they can do some of the things they want to do and it also keep them occupied when there is nothing to do at home. They will look for something simple and doesn't require a start up cost. SFI is the best choice for both groups.
However, Please don't restrict yourself by trying to determine which demographic you should target because you never know which list your duplicate(mini you) might come from. All you have to do is add the retirees and homeworker to your list of demographics to target.

I would like to start out by saying that demographics is a HUGE subject and is the study and quantifying of statistical data to give a representation for a set qualitative description of a sector of society.

Based on this you would need to find qualitative criteria to describe the two populations and based on that, take general data to draw an relatively accurate conclusion, because statistics, at times, are only as valid as the data is properly representative and reliable.

However, there are certain criteria that would influence the qualitative (description) of the different sectors:

Retired persons:

Educational background
Age
Computer literacy
Personal network influence
Income status
Resident country

Homemakers:

Educational background
Computer literacy
Income status
Resident country

Of course you could extend the list of comparisons . However, there is no hard and fast rule as discrimination would leave out an essential element that applies generally to all affiliates and that is determination, commitment and the will to succeed.

In my opinion, of a more relative concern is the ability for the affiliate to invest, either in a range of marketing methods or by way of capital contribution in their business as these becomes an essential element to build your business with in Strong Future International.

Well in my thought on this homemakers vis a vis retired persons will be to each it's own that is each certainly has its pros and cons which are as follow:

Home makers : mm I think of Housewives or stay at home mums with or without kids , generally younger and more connected to the internet , fairly mobile and easier to socialize and mix with the younger community and other homemakers and spouses at large,may be financially challenged and has a smaller budget n less time to dedicate initially to SFI and may be less committed

Retirees : usually comes with a wealth of experience and generally will tend to have a bigger network or connections as the saying goes that your network equals to your net-worth so there you have it.may have a slightly better budget and time to dedicate to the business once convinced,more appealing to other baby boomers and well respected. By the mature and working population at large

Well if you really want my take I would say let's go for both concurrently and have the best of both worlds namely the Homemakers and Retirees

Disclaimer the above are just my personal thought and input no offense to anyone and what I have stated if it appears to be you are purely coincidental

All the best and have a fabulous and prosperous business .
