That’s a difficult task to do since ones it went out of your site, you are not in control
of how ever you have to encourage them and make your message interesting to captivate
Their mind.
As you know the majority of most of or even the majority of affiliates here are not readers
And that is well proven.
I am sometimes very amazed when few affiliates give advice on the long outdated
Information that has been long gone.

SFI created multiple count of rewards and bonuses to encourage us to read, like
Having a weekly news letter, that has a hidden question for us two answer in any
Given month of the day to get VP in a spin and win,

The new Biz Quiz, with the reward of $50 each day is another example. The main
Focus for us to read.

I am sure this encourage and improve our affiliates to read and learn more. All these
Are put in place because we don’t read.

So now to answer your question, always make it an exciting and vibrant.

You can create a contest among team members, to reward them for their hard effort,
You can start and maintain a co-op to do the same things for your active affiliates and
Encourage your in active affiliates if they do what active affiliates do they to also included
In the reward,

You have a maximum of three post to use your stream post per week, use one of it to update
Where all stands.

When we have new development, use the word Breaking News to grap their attention. That’s
what news media do to alter our mind psychologically and it works perfect.

Give a hint what you are going to do next, and tell them to stay tuned for what is coming
In your next stream post or weekly team mail.

People love games and sport as well as movies music included more than they love their job,
and they will do anything to make time for that.

So use that to your advantage to tell them what you accomplished and for them to refresh
Their mind after a long day work to participate.

Recognize and congrats them, when they win auction, win games, such as Knockout Trivia,
Card King, Gold Streak ,daily grand, and so on, you can see it right on their snap shot if you
Follow closely , if you do all these things and what you think of other you will be successful
For them to read your message as well as SFI announcements, especially if they are not
readers, it has to come from you first to train them to be a readers by your exciting approach

The answer lies in ensuring and reminding them:

1. To white-list emails from SFI News and TripleClicks News Letters/Announcements.
2. To sign up for the SFI and TipleClicks News Letters/Announcements.

Preferably to a valid and daily operational email address they use.

You could also send them these newsletters as a TeamMail through your genealogy, as and when you receive them to ensure they get these important announcements. Either by copying and pasting them onto your TeamMail email, or by selecting important text fields to highlight the important facts to them, and then include a link to the original article, or announcement.

You could also use your Stream Post tab, under your To-Do list actions, and inform them their of the new announcements/newsletters by pasting a link to the official article, or announcement on the SFI News webpage.

I would not waste much more effort nor time on this than by doing the above, as this is time spent more valuably working with your workers, training, support, signing up new PSA's, working on your own business, remember, you can lead a horse to the water but cannot make it drink. I.e. do the basics above, and let some initiative come from below, you cannot spoon feed your affiliates all the way, this will stunt their own personal growth.

The first thing we need to do is make sure we read them ourselves!

I once found myself in the awkward position of having a PSA ask me about something I wasn't even aware of, because I had fallen into a routine which didn't include clicking on the news links at the top of the Alerts page. I had to do some quick research before I could answer him.

Since then, I have read the news daily, and try to include the highlights in my weekly team mail whenever possible, along with a short motivational paragraph or two.

The more excited we become about the changes introduced, the more excitement we are able to generate within our teams. And if we see something that we know will appeal to a particular PSA, make sure to send them a personal email highlighting it, along with a link to the article.

Another option is to set up a monthly quiz or contest, with prizes, to test our team's knowledge of the article's contents.

You can not ensue that your affiliates do anything.

They have to be interested in the outcome of reading everything.
They have to really want to work SFI.
They have to set aside the time to do the reading.
They may not even be reading your communications.

Start by assuming that they are reading what you send them and they are just not responding. If you want a hint of who is reading your mail, make a mistake in something minor and send a "please excuse the error" letter. That seems to stir some of them.

Keep your notes short and easy to read. Keeping positive is a must. No one wants to follow a grump and no one wants to be involved with a failure. There is a positive in every negative. Find it before you begin to write.

Many people resist reading so you must show them what they will gain from reading everything.The crew at SFI/TC have too much to do already than spending more time sending out junk. Everything has a purpose both on the SFI web site and in it's mailings.Show that you respect the Corporate Team, that they work hard to ensue our success as long as we do our part.Explain the need to read the News Alerts, Newsletters, etc.

Reading and comprehending takes time. Most people do not have that already in their daily schedule. The new ones may need instruction on how to make time for SFI.

Many affiliates are not fully sold on the company or their own ability to make it work. You must tell them what is so great about SFI, working at home, online business, and leveraging time and investments. Be respectful. We have many ASK SC questions to help you with this

They may or may not read your mailings, but keep sending them out. Write 4 to 6 of this type of letter and send them out routinely. I send them out to all with less than 500 VP. That catches the newbies, the quitters, and the undecided. It doesn't really matter if they get a letter twice. They didn't get what you were saying the first or second time. Just be sure they are quality, easy to understand letters. You will have a new group of affiliates, PSA and CSA that you will be adding to your mailing list.

Always write like you expect they are reading.

Once a fresh sign up appears, Sponsors should guide him/her to read all news items and announcements by explaining about their importance in growing the business.

When ever communications are sent to the team members, Sponsors should draw their attention to this one area repeatedly.

Short mails can be sent (when ever necessary) drawing their attention to specific announcement mentioning the title or topic.

This can be followed with a stream message providing the Link to that particular announcement.

Where ever you feel essential, you can provide the details of the announcement in your Team Leader Page (Blog) and seek their attention to that through a short communication.

Where it is economically viable, you can send an SMs giving reference to the particular announcement.

If you have your Team Members covered in Social Media Groups or Whatsapp. you can post and share the information.

Post the information (in detail) in your Blog or Web Site and guide your Team Members to visit them.

In case, you have them in your own Country/Region/Area you can try to speak to them over phone if you feel it will serve your purpose.

If you are able to meet them in SFI Chat, then you can guide them to read specific news item/announcement.

All these are some of the means by which you can try to ensure that your Team Members read and understand all exciting and important SFI announcements.

Same time, there is no guarantee that every one will comply with your communication.

Its always advisable that you keep working with your Movers very closely. Remain in constant touch with them and provide them with details of important announcements and remind them through Stream messages to ensure that read them without fail.

Regular communication & constant reminders through all these possible means will help.

But, everything depends on the level of rapport you established, the relationship you built and the trust worthiness you created in the minds of your Team Members!

Unless an affiliate signs in everyday and/or subscribes to the SFI NEWS they will not notice these announcements. You also cannot guarantee that they will read everything that they see.

What you can do is to ensure that they are aware of them and motivate them to read. One way to do this is by sending them a reminder. Posting a notice in the stream will ALERT them or REMIND them to read the specific announcements.

SFI newsletters with announcements are sent out to us via email, one way to to ensure an affiliate reads them is to ensure they receive emails from SFI in their inboxes. We can advise all new affiliates to whitelist SFI's email address in our welcome letter. We can also remind them from time to time about the importance of checking their spam folders.

The inactive ones who don't sign in will not notice the announcements and will not hear about them through the forum or by being at SFI. These ones can be reminded in the weekly team mails to read their emails from SFI. When there is an important announcement mention it in your team mail with a link.

One way to encourage reading is by not overwhelming them with unnecessary emails. The weekly newsletters are enough.

The best way to do this is for you to be aware of the news yourself and walking in it.
Like an adage says, 'Walk The Talk.'
Secondly, what testimonies have you
had when you implicated the news you had e.g The Milestones Shares, The CSA Reward Program etc. Then share it with them.
Thirdly, share the news periodically and the link to each news.
Fourthly, share the essence of reading the SFI news and how it can build their SFI business and then refer them to the SFI News link news.sfimg.com.
Lastly, link them and refer them to the SFI News Forum and at the Alerts Page to get updated as news unfold.

As you know to this day we all need active members to gain knowledge and following directions. SFI and TC weekly/monthly Up-date News is shown in the front page when you first log-in your SFI backoffice.

Social Sites
To get faster and more action takers you need social sites to pass on your messages. It takes just a click to liking a page(s) and every post you post, your follower will see your post. Just about every social site you can create a free page or group to post any thing your promoting. Explaining about the topic or new news to your team followers will give them better understanding about the latest announcement(s). This way the'll also see the information more then once, that's a good reminder to have at top social sites. Not everyone is in all the social sites that your a member, some people don't like some social sites for personal reasons.

A good idea that's not a bad idea is to create personal image/photos for sharing in your posts, this way you don't have to say much what you post your up-dates in your timeline.

Blogging
Getting more into details can be vary helpful. This way you'll have less questions and concerns, but that may also lead to more questions and concerns. The great news about that is you will also learn from that and that's a great feeling. Also you can lead your readers from social sites to your blog. That's more exposure to your blog.

Email
It's a good idea just to pass on the message leading to your social or blog post(s) and/or SFI/TC News.

From time to time you should be asking what they think about the SFI/TC News broadcasts. Getting more personal with them will help them grow there downline team members.

Every SFI/TC and Personal emails are important to gaining knowledge to building your business. Personal like like/love reading from SFI and my up-line team leaders, as will as from my downline.

If you see a good post at the Forum about the latest news, give your downline or A2A members the Forum link. Everyone information is helpful and can be rewording in the future.

How can I help ensure that my affiliates read all the exciting and important SFI announcements?

Let me tell you what I do and give you an example: -

1. I contact ALL my affiliates as a group as best I can.

I contact my whole team with at least one weekly TeamMail and with at least three weekly Stream Posts.

The TeamMail also goes to their private email address that they gave SFI when they joined so there is a chance that they will receive these even if they don’t log into their SFI homepage. But there is no guarantee that they will actually read them.

Stream Posts only appear on their SFI Homepage so they will not even get the chance to read them unless they login and review their “Stream” tab.

And I contact personally by email and/or E-Card those on my movers tab at least twice a month.

2. What do I write about?

I firstly bring the SFI News item to their attention in a Stream Post. But I don’t repeat the news.

Instead I refer to the news item in an enthusiastic way.
I give them the link to the news item,
I give them the link to the FORUM discussion about the news items.
Then I mention what I think the most beneficial thing is about that news item.

Here’s an example of one of my Stream Posts: -

‘ "CSA Rewards!"

Did you read about the new “CSA Rewards Program” introduced by SFI on February 11?
Read it here: -

http://news.sfimg.com/2016/02/11/introducing-csa-rewards/

And check out the Forum discussion about it here: -

https://www.sfimg.com/forum/thread?id=40273&pg=1

This is a fantastic new way to build your team of CSAs!’

3. I always write my weekly Stream Posts before I write my weekly TeamMail and then I refer to my Stream Posts in that week’s TeamMail too. In this way I am trying to link everything that I write to them about together and hopefully that will encourage them to read everything that I send them.

But I don’t repeat my Stream Post either – rather I add to it. Again by highlighting the benefit of the news item. I write something different. And I usually also ask a question at the end – as a way of trying to prick their interest and prompt a response.

In the above example of the CSA Rewards Program this is what I wrote about it in my TeamMail that week: -

“And my third post was to bring your attention to the new “CSA Rewards Program.”

This is a real WINNER for us all. A way you can build your CSA team just by doing your NORMAL work in SFI. Please read the news item AND the Forum discussion about it.

What I wish to know is this: - How many additional FREE CSAs do you think you will receive this month under this new program?”

4. I try and write “up-beat” and enthusiastically about SFI. I try and let my passion and excitement shine through.

5. Please remember, I treat each SFI News item differently. So I play with this format a bit to make it appropriate to the particular news item.

6. And I ALWAYS am asking them to ask questions if they don’t understand something.

7. Why do I use this approach? I do it this way because I am trying to teach my team how to find things in SFI and when they do to read it for themselves. I do not want to treat them like babies. I want them to develop the skills they will need to succeed in SFI.

Does any of this work? I don’t know. But I have noticed that sometimes I see that an affiliate who has been inactive for some time suddenly logs in again and does something. I’d like to think this is evidence that my efforts are working.

Let me finish by saying that I am always trying to think of new ways and better ways to communicate with my team. This is a dynamic situation. My thinking is changing all the time about what I think I should do in any given situation.

I am hoping that my passion, excitement, and commitment will encourage my team members to “get aboard the SFI Express” soon.

I believe that what you can do is to bring all the important announcements to their attention and encourage them to read them.

Encourage them to subscribe to the SFI news.

Encourage them to login daily and check their Alert tab at the Affiliate Centre for the announcements.

Message them about any new announcements using Stream and/or Group Mailer. You can also include the announcements in your weekly newsletter.

Talk about ‘Spin & Win’ to win easy VPs & where to find the announcements for these. I often put these on Stream to alert them to read the SFI News for details of new Spin & Win.

If they are not getting the emails, get them to check in their Spam folder, get them to whitelist the SFI email and make sure they have updated their details at SFI with any new email address they have changed to.

Encourage them to go to the Forum and check out the ‘Must Read’ threads tab. These are almost always about new announcements. They can also join in the discussion there about the announcements.

You can also run team contests on the important announcements. You can pose a question and all the correct answers go into a draw to win TCredits or reassignments or advertising campaign etc...

Read all the announcements yourself and be prepared to discuss them not only on the Forum but in response to any questions your team members may have. This would be a great confirmation that they are actually reading the announcements.
