After becoming the SFI member, I learned the importance of advertising and promotions. I started using:

1. SB Co-op Packs, buying at least 1 each month and then increased quantity by buying/winning at auctions.
2. Used my gateway links as footer, attached to each email I sent with some attractive text to motivate.
3. Printed flyers provided by SFI and displayed them to shopping centers and notice boards.
4. Printed my own business cards with SFI/TC/W3 links & distributed/left some cards at any place I visited.
5. I invited my friends/relatives and different people I met, to join SFI, giving them detail/benefits at SFI.
6. I bought W3 kit and displayed the decal on my car.
7. Some Free/Paid online advertising/social sites gave me good results.

As free sites are slow and paid sites are expensive with many sleeping signups, I am mostly concentrating on other methods mentioned above and only some time advertise online at paid sites within my budget.

There are many methods listed in the training, that shows how to promote your SFI Business. I have tried most of them and succeeded in finding PSAs for me. I have also tried many things new to promote my business. I will not be able to reveal everything. Some of them are listed below

1. I have made pamphlets on my own and distributed to houses in good areas with the help of Newspaper Vendors.

2. Since I am into Sales and Marketing, I have many customers, whom i promote products at TripleClicks. For eg. One of my customer wanted to buy mobile accessories, i forwarded him to TripleClicks product page.

3. I have made my own visiting card in the form of Book Cover. The first and the last page has SFI and TripleClicks logo on it. I usually on my market visits, leave couple of them at the reception and tell the receptionist to distribute it among the employees.

These were some of the methods that i use to promote my business. But i would want to tell you that the original and creative methods comes from within yourself. You know who you are and what your circumstances are, so depending on that, you would be in a better position to promote your business, in such a way, that would help you to find more business.

Hope this helps...

SFI provides almost all kinds of marketing tools we need to promote our business. Of course everyone has his own marketing technique (although everybody do not share it). I have few ways of my own and i would love to point out them here

1. Almost everyone use a mobile at the current generation. So what i do, I keep a wallpaper which shows money coming out of computer or a SFI home page. So when ever my friends give a look at it, they ask me about it and as u know how good we are in explaining the system.

2. I use some rent cars for promotion. How? its a very interesting method. I just pest some SFI promotional flyers on the back side of the Driver seat. So when people have a seat inside.....they came across the flyer for more time (As travel may vary from 5 to up hrs) and as you know no body hates free money....so i will get a call from some fellows and hence PSAs.

3. Putting some flyers on town buses is one of the best idea i ever found. Everyday people millions of people travel in it looking for job, wishing easy money, want retirement etc. When they come across these flyers.....it is always possible e they give u a call to know more.

I have few more which i can share if you make me your friend.......LOL

Hope it will help you.

Advertising the business is very essential to grow.

There are basically two types Free advertisement and Paid Advertisement.

Paid Advertising would consist of

1. Paid per Click (very specialized, unless you are experienced not recommended)

2. Buy hits to your affiliate link. (results vary. Some programs give better results for a particular product)

3. Buy advertisement on high traffic forums and blogs.

4. Use the specialized services like Ad-minder, Planet Traffic etc.

Free Advertising resources are Traffic Exchanges, Safelists, Classified ads and Social Networks. The conversion is quite low from Free sites as most people are busy promoting their program in these sites.

Some of the best and creative methods are :

1. Twitter: You may already know that an average person reads around 200 tweets a day. If you can tweet regularly or re-post with a time gap like 8 am, 12 pm, 4pm, 8 pm etc. Make sure your tweets are specific, they must have strong call to action words.

2. Groupon : You can advertise on here as many will not be using it. Offer coupons like Gift card to Prospects. It may take about 2 weeks to get an approval and listing on this site.

3.Blog Marketing : you can write a guest blog that offers an alternative viewpoint on a common issue and get it published on a popular website.Make sure that your post includes a link back to your site

4. Ebay : List a report on specific topic for Eg: "how to create adwords campaign for cents". Offer this report for low cost maybe 99 cents. Create a Featured Plus auction for this product.which means it is displayed at the top of the auction listings before the non-Featured auctions (regular auctions). You will also want the auction to be a Dutch auction, which means you can sell multiple items from the same auction. A Featured Plus auction will cost around $20.00 to post, along with about $5 – $6 of miscellaneous posting fees including the Dutch auction fee.

5. Squidoo : This is once again a very good advertising program and you need to find good keywords and can receive a huge traffic to your lens.

Remember any advertisement is not bad. The more pair of eyes that see your advertisement will result in more sign ups.

My upline team and I work together to help our downline succeed. This in turn promotes our SFI business for all. We offer them:

- a free mini website
- free leads and teach how to use them
- free webinars for training and sponsoring
- our own facebook page to keep our affiliates up to date and to build relationships
- blogsite for even more training through videos
- great contests for TCredits, gift certificates, and re-assignments.
- congratulations on the stream page when someone achieves a goal.
- one-on-one contact on a regular basis for those who want it.

As a result we have good quality affiliates that promote their own business and build the down line rapidly. We lead by example and in constant contact. Of course there are many that just don't do anything; that's just human nature.

Personally, I have three of us that work together who are friends and family. It's great to have them close by.

I have advertised on:
- free sites
- my own websites
- social networks
- email campaigns.

One time I offered a partnership in a growing international business. I even got resumes. Some joined and have made excellent affiliates.

There are several methods I always use when it comes to advertising my SFI business.

Email Signature – I have an SFI link in my signature for all of my email accounts. This is a great way to promote your business as you send out emails or respond to others.

Forum Signature – I have an SFI link in most of my forum signatures (outside of SFI). This way, every time I post a question or reply to a post, my signature is added at the end of each. It makes a big difference as depending on the forum, you will get a lot of views.

fiverr.com – If you haven’t heard of this site, I highly recommend you check it out. Everything listed on this site is only $5. You can have someone write and submit press releases about your business, build backlinks to articles, submit forum posts as well as submit links to thousands of social media sites. Again, everything is only $5! You can even find gigs to build your website if you haven’t already built it or create videos for you to post on youtube about your SFI business.

The best advice I received from another one of my businesses is that you should be the CEO of your business. This means you should not try to do all the work yourself. Outsourcing is key and having others promote your business is no different.

I am a member at several Social websites and some of them don't have any SFI members that I know of, so I put the links there.

I have gone to several stores and put up flyers, I am looking into having someone put them on cars at the mall and Walmart.

Join Wave3 and get extra stickers and lots of x-cards. Then ask friends to keep the cards (and flyers about SFI and TripleClicks) handy in their car and put a sticker in their window. When someone asks about it they can give them information. Be sure to have your contact info on these so that people can call to ask about it. Your friend may end up joining when they see how many people ask. If they do, ask them if you can have their sticker when they join Wave3 because that way you can get someone else to put it on their car! The more people advertising for you the better. And be sure that you reward your friend! Perhaps a Standing Order of something from TripleClicks that they use every month.

Put on of the links in your signature for your email and also for your text messages if this is available on your phone.

I hope this helps!

I promote my business with/in:

Linkdin.

Stumbleupon.

Focus.com.

Meettheboss.

Talkbiznow


My own website.

I find business related websites and promote in the comments fields.

I have made You Tube Videos.

Comment and promote on other You Tube Videos.

I just keep searching on Google for all new business related forums and social web pages.

I find if I promote to other business related people I get better affiliates. Promoting this business as totally free attracts the wrong sort of affiliates.

Use many offline promotional materials to attract new SFI members, but as you have asked i must tell you the best one. I found the recently introduced TC gift cards are the best one to get PRM as well as PSA. Here i have explanations for it.

1. It has $12 redeemable balance which makes easy to share with my friends, family and colleagues as a token of gift not as business.

2- I used to approach local business man for selling their product just for free as they do not have to purchase any TC for listing.

3. It gives a chance to offer someone to participate in price bender auctions without purchasing TC pak. As you know everyone loves price bender auction but they want to start for free. so TC gift cards are very useful here to give them a taste first before they participate.

Hello everybody!
It is my first time answering to SFI Community questions….I’ll do my best!
Well, I think the most important thing is to build your Personal SFI Brand. It is a really CREATIVE method, because it is YOURS! How? In my opinion there are some simple steps:
1. Set up your own website or set up a “Blogger” blog on your own domain. Blogger (I mean blogspot.com) is a very popular blogging platform with Internet marketers because it is free and easy to install, easy to use and very flexible. It is free too.
2. Writing and publishing articles about how to start up and run a home-based business on the Internet should always be a key part of your Internet marketing strategy. Every time your article is posted on another website you get one more one-way link back to your website. Why? Because writing articles and distributing them to article directories on the Internet is one of the easiest ways to generate targeted traffic to your website. It is free, too. Offer relevant, useful information, advice or tips about your free SFI business opportunity. At the foot of your article you can post a link resource which will include a link back to your blog. When people who like your article click the link, they will arrive on your blog as targeted traffic, and will already have a positive impression about you and your free business opportunity like SFI. My Sponsor did it and also promoted my blog to more and more people to her online connections!
3. Join Social Networking & Bookmarking Sites. Once you have a blog set up, you will want to publicize it. One of the easiest ways to do that is via social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter.
Here are some of the leading social networking and social bookmarking sites that I love:
a. Facebook.com
b. Twitter.com
c. Plus.Google.com
d. Pinterest.com
4. Set Up A Facebook Page For Your SFI Business. Use your Facebook page as a kind of forum for introducing SFI to people interested in starting a business online. Post training materials, tips and advice.
5. Use YouTube to promote your business. If you are not posting videos on youtube.com you are leaving a lot of targeted traffic on the table. YouTube is actually one of the biggest websites for searches on the Internet after Google. So it makes sense to tap into that source of traffic – especially as it's free!
6. Build Your Brand on IBO Social. My Sponsor has told me about it!
It's a 100% free platform that does not tell you to upgrade after you join. All members of IBO Social can use the same features and tools, which are in the admin section, known as “IBO Toolbox”. It is a powerful tool that offers you Advertising (IBO is the perfect platform to get your business noticed. With more than 100,000+ targeted visitors daily, IBO offers you a very targeted advertising medium); Leads: IBO is designed to be a work horse in respect to lead generation. Every contact form located inside your IBO platform is geared up to generate leads for you; Blogging: IBO's blogging system is easy to use. IBO blogger is pre-formatted so all you have to do is paste or type in the words; Team Building: by interacting with other IBO members you have the ability to bring experienced leaders into your team as well as fresh new prospects.
7. Go on Google+ Business Pages. A more recent stream of consciousness in the world of social media, your business really should be here as well as on Twitter and Facebook. This is a powerful tool to establish your business' presence. Join groups, share photos and information and link up with your customers in Google Hangouts.
