I suppose this is all about advertising. If I'm not wrong the topic, I think, and much more successful than me say the same - change your your ad.

First of all you should determine in advance what your goal is, which is the target group you want you attract. Make also a geographical targeting.

If, for example, you place between 300 and 500 ads per day, on group of advertising on social networks, you should have at least 1% response.

If the effect was less

Go back to the basics. Read again START, SFI BASICS, and LAUNCHPAD. Learn, understand and apply them.

Read the topics on Marketing Methods and Marketing Aids. This will give you some insights on attraction new affiliates.

Start advertising on the free classifieds, social media etc. This has to be done relentlessly.

Set up a blog to promote SFI

As you receive sign-ups apply the ‘how to be an awesome sponsor’ concept.

Hello Anela
You need to change your approach. Sorry, that was a bit obvious :-)

Think about how you are trying to attract new team members. Are you really 'attracting' them or are you trying to 'convince' them? There is a huge divide between 'attract' and 'convince'.

The best way to 'attract' people is to ask questions about them until they start asking questions about you. When they do start asking questions about you.

When it comes around to what you do for

Buy them!

Even if you will never be sure they will be active.

I have the same problem, my affiliates are inactive but I do not give up.

I use my 125 Tcredit SO to maintain my EA2 rank and to buy PSAs.

It is real, SFI does not ask you for money but you should be very lucky to be able to sponsor new active affiliates without investing money into your business.

Someone is it, I know people who do not even know English, but they have affiliates

That's the way,
A good subject to bring up as a daily discussion, among leaders or among your students.

I guess that is an actual normal scenario that happens everywhere. Thats when people starts to apply many other strategies, like Offer Price, Full Refund, 100% commissions and many other techniques, just to attracts their customer.

It may be the same in whatever your situation is. I'm not sure which situation you are referring to, so I list out few scenarios below.

You can not expect it to happen overnight, keep plugging at it and it will happen. Do not give up.

Also Tripleclicks offers PSA's To Go, you can always participate in that, I do when I can afford to its twofold, you get your PSA's plus you also get VP Points.

Hard to beat that deal and they come in different size packages for what you can afford to invest, remember its your

Well, you have an option to buy them from our own ECAs.
There are products such as PSA To Go and SFI's S-Builder Co-op.
Once you received your PSAs, expects majority of them will do nothing. A common problem but you have to really be involved and get your downline to stay focused. You may find it a hassle, the system has been created in such a way that you have to be in constant communication with your team, and you have to be directly involved in setting things up for them, and teaching

Have you tried buying affiliates for $1 each from an ECA. Some of my best came from there.

You only need 10 good ones, and then help them develop.

Also many companies sell hits....pick a good recommended one by asking some a2a friends in your area which one they suggest.

I have found 2 hit sellers who have produced affiliates for under 50 cents.
Also have used 2 selling affiliates for $1 with great success.

First important is that you have an approachment, it shows that you are serious to reach your success.

But something you did wrong, you should find it, for finding the wrong item, you have to modify your working one by one and test the result, never change more than one object at same time.

Put yourself in the other site and check your ads first, is it attractive or no?
The time of promotion also is important, the day of the week, as you know 12 o'clock of the tuesday is

What approach are you using?

If you go to the marketing page in SFI, you find so many recommendations and resources to help in your marketing. If you try a particular approach and it does not work for you, you try another.

Also note that some methods require that you expose the ads to intended affiliates more than once or twice before they are motivated to take action so don't give up on it too soon. keep up while you also apply other methods. if you had stated the method
