If you mean by "personal" a website that has nothing to do with SFI, that is different from "my personal SFI website". I regard my personal SFI website as the one that is given to me when I signed up with SFI. That is a fantasitic website and I would not change a thing about it.

If you mean a website which you own and can publish stuff about SFI or anything else you want, that is what I would call your "personal website" and that can be a good thing to help you promote SFI or anything else. And I have some suggestions about managing such a website.

With your personal website you can "brand" yourself to the internet world by commenting about and linking to other significat websites (such as your personal SFI website and all of your Gateway Pages in SFI). If you have your own website you can do things to help yourself to be found by other people who are searching for what you have to offer on the internet. Blogging is very useful in providing fresh content for your website.

Be sure to use good Search Engine Optimization (SEO) techniques when building your personal website. You will want to submit your personal website URL to the
Google spiders which crawl listings of internet URL on a regular basis in an effort to decide which sites are the most relevant and deserving of a higher placemnt on Google. (Go to 'Google Addurl' to notify them of your URL)

Look for more information in Google Analytics.

Your personal SFI website should be most valuable in 2 ways.

1. Your downline and possibly your upline should be able to see the helpful and valuable information you have written, especially if it includes your personal experiences with SFI. This could be enough to encourage those you are sponsoring or co-sponsoring to put in the time and effort necessary for them to progress within the SFI structure. By the progress of your downline you are going to be earning VersaPoints and progressing through their actions. Therefore this is a very valuable asset for you.

2. You will also want to recruit personally sponsored affiliates, TripleClicks members and ECA's with your website. This can easily be done by including some of the approved text ads in with your text, as well as putting banners on your pages. The type and size of banners you will use will be governed by the type of website you are using. If it is a blog then banners in your sidebar can be entered once to appear on all pages.

I wish you every success with both SFI and your website

Hi, Chet Cowie.
Congratulations for setting up your personal SFI Website.
The most valuable use of your site is for promoting your SFI Business: sponsoring affiliates, selling Tripleclicks products and services, promoting your own ECA store, inviting potential ECAs, and selling Tcredits for Pricebenders auctions.

If designed professionally and used properly, an SFI personal website may solve some critical issues SFI Affiliates are facing today with the major social media websites as well as slow SFI email delivery by major free email providers such as AOL and MSN (which includes Hotmail, Live.com and Outlook).
We know that Facebook (and maybe some other social media sites) blocks nearly all URLs and links containing SFImg.com. You may be able to use your website to promote your SFI Business there.

The above is gearing your SFI Website towards the market at large to propel your business.

You can also use your website to help your Affiliates and teach them duplication. As a Canadian from Ontario, you may promote your website to French speaking Affiliates, they may be from Quebec or from other French speaking countries. You may run some webinar in other languages if you have a large portion of your genealogy that speak a given language such as Spanish for Filipinos and South American Affiliates.

You may want to widen your question to the one every website owner faces: how to optimize all the potential their website has, and make it ultimately profitable? The answer will be provided after the following preliminary remarks.

The first and most important point is to make sure that your website fully complies with SFI personal website policies. You can find it through this link, if you have not seen them yet. The link may also be useful to the readers.
https://www.sfimg.com/Reference/WebsitePolicy
Compliance with these policies will help you operate successfully and mirror SFI as closely as possible.
Second point to keep in mind: choose for your website a name that resonates very well and easy to remember. Think about why the following names are popular: SFI, eBay, Amazon, MSN, Google, Yahoo, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn. Of course, you are not operating at their level, but the name carries weight in your promotional success.
Third, you already have solved two major questions: (i) you have determined which affiliate program to promote; and, (ii) your website content is already defined.
Now, come the technical issues. Basically, they boil down to successful website promotion. The web is all about this. There is so much information out there. But, let’s summarize the main and most relevant aspects.
I. The size of the competition: Every website, every blog, every page is competing for attention, the goal being to get traffic, retain the visitors and use them as a promotional tool to attract other visitors. The tools to get that attention are numerous. Let’s mention few of them. Just run a search on SFI Personal website. With MSN you will get about 1, 150,000 results. With yahoo, I got 1, 300,000 results; but surprisingly I only got 103,000 results. Still the number is too large for your site to have any chance to be viewed.
II. The Promotion tools: to get your website rank high in the search engines is known as SEO (Search Engine optimization), using back links, keywords selected as most likely to be used by the prospects you want to attract. Educate yourself about SEO. It is a must.
III. Attracting free traffic: write blogs articles and press releases and link them to your website. Your write-ups should contain those popular keywords. Use RSS feed engines such as Feedburner, FeedFairy, Feedzilla and others
IV. Promote your website through the most popular social media sites mentioned above, in the preliminary remarks. For instance, you may want to create a Facebook page and a LinkedIn Professional Profile both linked to your website.
V. Advertise heavily your website with all the means available to you. Capture that traffic with landing and splash pages. You may want to use an autoresponder that will allow you to build a list. Some of your visitors may not sign up with SFI right away. Attract them t back with frequent updates on what’s going on at SFI.
VI. Monetize your website: set up tools that will allow ads to be placed on your site which will generate revenues for you. A good example is Google Adwords. You can create a free account. Build on this and expand your opportunities. You can learn more about this issue by doing some additional research
VII. Periodically, update your website. There are two major components here: (a) update the content using SFI NEWS feed. (b) Review your website ranking and results with website analytics. Google Analytics have great benchmarks with which you may want to be familiar and use on a regular basis.
If you do the above proficiently, you will have great results with your site.

From my point of view, there are a few main uses for a personal SFI website:

1. To encourage your existing Affiliates and give them additional support, advice and information to assist them to improve their SFI business.

2. To encourage new sign-ups to SFI, by providing them with the information they need to decide whether SFI is for them.

3. To advertise individual Tripleclicks items either being sold by yourself or that you feel would be beneficial to your readers, including items specifically designed to support the work you and your team are engaged in............. ie building a robust and profitable business with SFI.

Use your own SFI website so that it works for you, as if it were your own employee. Your website should do the marketing for you - it should be designed to recruit SFI affiliates and TC users for you.

It is important that it looks and sounds professional, otherwise the prospects could take you as an amateur and not go for it. Learn what it takes to make a perfect pitch and do it. If you provide great content, prospects are more likely to go for it.

When writing content and pitch, make sure to start with stating what the readers have to gain from it, instead of praising SFI, yourself or your offer. If the readers don't get an answer to "What's in it for me?" in the first lines, they are likely to click away, which is confirmed with the statistics that most surfers that visit a website stay on it just under 30 secs. So you need to make a great first impression, otherwise you lose them right away.

Good luck.

On your personal SFI website you can let others know how you are doing (so they can duplicate your successes).

You can encourage your team to move forward.

You can post messages of inspiration.

You can direct other people who are not affiliates yet, to your websites (& if you have included your Gateways, they may sign up).

You can promote TripleClicks products.

There are so many different things you can do ... the list is long. If it results in spiking interest in anyone, it has been especially valuable. It will depend on how your message is delivered, as to how "valuable" it will be.

I hope this helps. Have a prosperous time with your website.
