"Creating my own SFI co-op...or starting a blog about SFI...which will provide the most value?"

This is an interesting question.

I think that both of them will provide very good value, but at different time.

At first, i.e. when you are starting, it is better to start a blog.
With blog you can advertise yourself at very high level, and to recruit affiliates. This kind of advertising is useful at places where SFI gateways are mostly treated as spam

A Blog or a Co-op, which is better? This really depends on several things:

1- Where is your co-op ad placed? Is this a source of major internet traffic or is there a limited amount of people where you are advertising?

Ad Placement is critical in determining how well your co-op will do. Make sure you utilize all available Marketing aids within SFI.

2- Where are you going to write your blog? Are visitor comments allowed? Are you going to blog everyday, twice a week,

Hi Mary

Both have value in it's own way , but the question is which audience you want to attract?.

Mainly creating your co op is great to attract your team members once they joined you to help and speed up their business grow process and in the mean time you can blog about SFI to further teach them more in-depth about the business aspect.

But now the difference is if you start your own co op for the general public for or about SFI, if those prospects are not in

I agree with most answers that point out that both are good.

It is my opinion that the SFI co-op has more value for both you and your team. It is a great way to show your active team members that their work is appreciated and encourages them to invest in S-Builder. A win-win for everyone. You can include both CSAs and PSAs in an S-Builder co-op. You might lose the benefits of a PSA with CSAs but thier efforts also contribute to your income, cash and matching VP.

Any activity that will attract affiliates are valuable. That is the purpose of creating Co-op and creating a blog.

The value of Creating Co-op is, it will have an immediate result if you will advertise on paid ads. But this will involve money. They money may come from the members of your coop or from your own pocket.

Co-op is short lived, but have quick results.

Blog however can be free but it needs a lot of work, you need to write and learn how to put your SFI banners

Hello Mary Bird,

Setting up both are good ideas. But I would go for the blog.

Reason for the blog, is that you will be able to communicate more effectively with your sign ups and prospectives. This could allow you to develop good relationships, which I believe is the foundation for establishing trust between you and your prospectives.

The blog can also be used as a support system for you and your sign ups, where discussion can take place and ideas shared on how

The short answer is yes. They both work well for what you wish to accomplish. For me, I created an SFI co-op and used the S-Builder shares for supplying the PSAs. This works well since I don't have time to aggressively seek out prospects for the co-op. Once it is set up, you can keep it going with little effort so it does not take up much time and energy to maintain it. A blog can be time consuming if you plan to post every day. I would suggest that you find out what kind of pace you are comfortable

Personally I have done both and it’s been working very well for me and my team.

First, I invested in a SFI website with blog features. I then started a co-op for my active team members.

When I advertise I send people to the website where they can get all the information they need about SFI and TripleClicks.

I use the co-op link on the blog for people who are interested to sign up. This way new PSA’s get allocated to team members fairly.

I don't

Creating own SFI Co-operation is of same importance as that of creating a blog in SFI. We have to understand that the SFI business stands on effective and goal oriented people. By creating SFI Co-operation and by sending blog in SFI are the ways of finding effective people in this business. Sending blog in SFI may be transmitted only among the team members, but seeing the in-depth knowledge of the Team Leader, the team members get more motivated to go ahead further with this team and in turn they

Creating and joining Co-ops are proven methods for improving your business. Gery has written a book about famous Entrepreneurs and one of the constants in his book of interviewed people was that more of them would have joined more coop advertising. Therefore I say a Coop is valuable for building your business by adding more PSA/s.

On the other hand, a blog is vital to your business if you use it wisely and continually upgrade and add to it. Here is where you state how SFI and TC have added
