My most active affiliates have come from using social networking sites, such as FaceBook and Twitter.

I created a blog about SFI, which has lots of pages of information about SFI and TripleClicks and guides for getting started with SFI. I'm using the main blog section (the blog posts themselves) to write about my experience with SFI and report on all my achievements, both large and small. Every time I add a new page or post to the blog (usually once a day), I tweet about it, and also post on FaceBook.

This has two advantages that I can see:

1) My FaceBook friends and Twitter followers are people who already know me (even if some only know me online), so they are part of my warm market.

2) PSAs who have come to SFI from my blog already know something of what SFI is about and what they're expected to do here to earn money, so they come prepared to work.

I think making use of your warm market is the best way to find active PSAs. You can also expand your warm market by becoming active on FaceBook discussion groups and on forums, where people talk about making money online. Once you have established friendships this way, people are much more likely to respond positively when you introduce them to SFI. (Note: If you use forums and FaceBook groups, don't just post your SFI or blog link. In a lot of places, this is a quick way to get banned and is also much less likely to get you the positive results you're looking for.)

We all want good affiliates, active affiliates, affiliates that understand SFI and see the possibilities and work hard to be successful. Just like you.

Whatever method you use to recruit affiliates, you can not be sure if those who join you will in fact excel. There are no guarantees. The success of your team will partly depend on your skills as an awesome sponsor. And then luck will play its part. Are you lucky enough to get the next top rank in the Power Ranks in your team?

Ways to recruit:

SFI has a vast amount of tools to help you market the SFI opportunity:

Your own gateway
Banners
Text ads
SFI X-Cards
Flyers
…and many more

SFI also has the S-Builder Co-Op. If you are still new in the SFI Business or do not have the time and means to market, this is an excellent tool for you to utilize. In TripleClicks, there are similar co-ops that you can buy into--other people recruit your affiliates for you, people who have the necessary know-how of big time marketing and recruiting.

A Website and blog will do wonders for your recruitment if set up effectively. SFI’s Training Course, Internet Income, discuss Websites at length. On the Internet, there are countless Web design methods with all sorts of packages.

If you want to go the free way, look at Classified Ad sites. There are plenty! Look for ones that have lots of traffic and where you have an account where you can see how your listings are performing regarding hits or views. Paid Classifieds expose your ads to even more visitors. Pay Per Click advertising also offers some action.

Offline marketing will get you some interested people. Start with family, friends, and colleagues--people you trust and know. Warm marketing can work wonders. Personal, one-to-one communication about the SFI opportunity with people close to you will go a long way in ensuring possible action in your downline.

The social networks like FB and Twitter where you might have a large circle of friends who know you, can also be utilized to recruit Affiliates.

Which marketing methods to utilize?

It's best to put effort into every method out there. Get marketing going in different ways so you can investigate which method or methods are the more effective recruitment tool.

Which is the best?

You will only know where you succeed the most after you've utilized every method out there. You will know where your Affiliates are coming from. As you become aware of which method you benefit most from, start utilizing that path more. Increase your efforts towards that method.

Never forget the importance of SFI’s Forum and ASK SC. In these platforms, you will have access to every question you have about how best to recruit affiliates. Use the Forum to ask the advice of old hands in the fields of marketing, Websites and blogs.

Best of luck!

It is never guaranteed who will be active in SFI and who will not, but still there are ways to produce better quality affiliates. I follow few basics points for generating quality affiliates and hope it will be useful for you too. Before you create a new sign up, you must make him aware of the following facts, because he must know what system he is going to join and how it works.

1. You must tell him the first truth: "SFI is not a quick get rich scheme." Patience and persistence are needed to grow here.

2. Let him know that "money-making in SFI solely depends on team building as well as sales. If he is not good with that, training will help, but he needs patience and interest.

3. Make him aware that SFI can be overwhelming at the beginning, so he needs to work to understand the system, rather than just sign up and look for money.

I feel if you explain these points before someone joins your team, he will not be surprised by the program when he tries to work on it. This will allow him to understand the system better, and he will be a better affiliate for sure.

Hope its helpful

From a sponsor's point of view, a good affiliate is someone who is working and can give you income.

There at least two characteristics of a prospective good affiliate:

1. He/she should be keen on earning online; interested in learning or has earned online before.

2. Someone who has the capacity to transact/buy online, i.e., he or she has a credit card or Paypal account and has tried buying online before.

What are the ways to recruit these good affiliates?

The first step is to find them, and you should be able to identify that they are potentially good affiliates.

The best place to start is your network of relationships. Your relatives, friends and colleagues. You know them personally, therefore, you will know who among them has the characteristics of a good affiliate.

In social media, for example, you can type in the search bar any related keywords to earning online, and you will be presented with list of people who are talking about earning online.

When you go to paid ads or buying affiliates, here's the rule of thumb that you can follow in finding good affiliates: Ten percent of your total recruits from this method will try to do something and 10% of that 10% are your good affiliates. So only about 1-5% percent of your total recruitments through this method are good affiliates. You want 5 good affiliates? Then find 100 to 500 PSAs through this method.

Recruiting good affiliates is the most important element in growing your Business.

Good affiliates are those who are serious about building their business and are self motivated. These affiliates are gems and require proper Guidance at all times.

Normally when we advertise in various places most people get attracted by the earning potential. They join the business and after going through the work requirements required to grow the business they feel let down.This is the time when they need the support of their sponsors in helping them get started. Some of them grasp the business and become active and grow.

The good places to find good affiliates are :

You can get good Affiliates by running Pay per Click ad campaigns.Google is the best source for running these campaigns. However one has to be well experienced to run the ad campaigns and if any mistake is done you could lose lot of money without getting results. Low competition and long tail keywords should be used to get good results. Also split testing with different ads is very important.

Next best place to find good affiliates is the Affiliate Communities where you can target the right people as they are already interested in online business opportunities. Some of the good communities are Warrior Forum, IBO, Apsense etc. You shouldn’t be promoting your products / affiliate solution aggressively. You must try to make friends and understand whether what you are offering is similar to what they are looking for

The advantages of this recruitment method include:

increased exposure to the affiliate community
minimum costs involved
knowing exactly what their issues are, in order to make your offer appealing to them
Disadvantages:

can involve large amounts of time spent on forums, discussion boards etc.
may not permit explicit advertising

A more advanced technique is to find affiliates directly

Well, there are several methods; here are the ones I’ve tried:

do a keyword search for your competitors’ products and see what websites sell those products;
do a generic search (e.g. “download buy software”), including some long tails, for certain keywords: “buy”, “software”, “purchase”, etc;
do a keyword search for your product – see what websites have good rankings on the defining keywords for your software application and try to convince them to become your affiliates, even if they don’t sell as affiliates.
Use the contact options on their websites and send them an e-mail presenting the partnership opportunity. You should keep it simple, specifying what your product differentiates itself from the competition’s. The e-mail is the preferred contact option for affiliates, but it’s best to always leave your contact details (phone, IM) because some may want to contact you using these methods.

Remember to use a friendly and personal approach – people are more likely to respond to this tone. They are in the best position to weigh their advantages and they know you really are interested in getting more exposure and revenue through them; just make sure that your message outlines the win-win benefits.

Hope this helps.

wishing you lots of Success.

Well, This is very good and useful question for all new affiliates in SFI .

Where as my learning and experience from SFI is to start recruit from your family & friends as many of your friends are in your face book page / tweeter / Google ect .

Suppose :You can observe them that who is spending more time on Facebook and sharing most posts on it , psychologically they could be the good affiliates for you as they used to spend times on internet and well if you offer them SFI promotion with of course good earning than many of them could be potential for you .You need to only share with them the following :

SFI website
TripleClick new products promotion
ECA Store links if you have your own store.
Price benders Auction

These are the useful marketing strategies to make your good down line.

From your family : many of your relatives of course trust on you and they can follow you comfortably , what you are following up .

Internet Advertisement :e-mail marketing & sms marketing are the cheaper way of marketing as you can start your promotions in very short period of time with the large number of people .Licensed software are at very low price on per annul basis.

Give a classified advertisement in newspaper or can arrange weekly house seminars or group discussions if you have an office place or Skype can be also good tool for it .

Place Triple Click.com on your car, handover SFI X card, triple Click X cards and w3 cards to the every person you know .

Share the successful stories with all your down line , friends , family and expected leads to motivate them .

I hope that these tips can be useful for every one on initial and as well as on long term basis.

I have no doubt about this: co-op marketing is definitely the best way to make your business grow--right form the start, especially right from the start!

Why is this?

I think that Network Marketing had a weak point that used to scare the majority of people, particularly the newbees. It's when you were obliged to involve friends and family or cold contacts, in a business that you didn't know yet. Even before having earned a single dime, when you're conviction is still very fragile.

That's the main reason why people quit or never get started and your downline never grows up.

Another weak aspect of involving family, friends in your new business when you still have not earned anything, is that in the best scenario, they join your opportunity just to do you a favor and not because they are really interested in starting a new business in that particular moment. Otherwise they would have already started one. So may be they join but then it's really rare that they become active.

Rather, it's totally different when, since the beginning, or even before starting your new business, you know that getting affiliates, won't be a problem at all. In fact, if you know that investing a few tens of dollars per month in cooperative marketing, allows you to have a steady stream of new Affiliates every month, among whom you can find those 5 serious ones you're looking for, wouldn't you be more motivated and enthusiast in planning your business's growth? Of course you would.

And how your duplication rate would improve? For sure much more than just waiting for your lazy friends and family to get active and start sponsoring people or produce sales. Why? Just because it's much easier and has much more appeal a business where you can easily get affiliates investing some little money rather than having to face the fears of NOs and spend your time as a manager of your business, rather than as a recruiter.

Do I mean that all the affiliates you'll get from a serious and reliable co-op will be active? Of course not! Because you cannot control people's mind and you will find all kind of minds out there. Even those who are REALLY interested in making money online, not necessarily are willing to do something, or are willing to overcome the little obstacles they could find on their way.

Do I mean that you do not have to sponsor absolutely nobody out of the co-op? No. It's up to you. If you feel comfortable in sponsoring using some of the useful method taught in the SFI training it's absolutely fine. Especially once you've already started to make money. But your question was about "the best ways to sponsor." Well, co-oping is in my opinion the very best way to sponsor.

So, how to participate to a co-op marketing initiative? It's very easy: just go to TripleClicks.com and type in the search field some key words like "advertising share." Many results will pop up. Choose the best option for you and proceed.

Once you'll receive your PSAs, of course, it will be fundamental to follow up efficiently and become a real "awesome sponsor" as taught in the SFI training here: https://www.sfimg.com/Training/AwesomeSponsor

Remember that even just one good Affiliate, who will duplicate your method, could easily produce hundreds of dollars per month and generate a very high return on your investment.

There are several great ways to recruit "good" affiliates, but I will tell you about my favorite.

My personal favorite is to join a community forum where you can create a page talking about SFI, TripleClicks and PriceBenders. What this does is allow for people that you know do internet marketing to get a first hand look at what SFI has to offer them. I have personally received more active affiliates through doing this than through X-cards, TE's, safelist's, personal website/blog.

Do a little bit of work find active marketing groups, examine what they do and if they promote SFI or not. If they don't get in their and promote. The only thing is that you need to be active in these groups because them coming to SFI is built on trust and seeing that you truly are willing to help them.

Good affiliates are never easy to find, but if you offer a "no lies or promises you can't keep" campaign of ads, and place them in the locations where people are looking for work, you will attract people who are not expecting money for no work.

If you have spectacular ads offering things you cannot provide, you may get signups, but will be a waste of your time trying to get them to change, and they will not become active.

The rate of people who work vs. tire kickers is low, but you must remember you only need 5 GOOD people, and help them get 5 GOOD people and so on, and your business will build.

Once you have a good solid business you can acquire more and train more in your first line and expand, but start small, because supporting 100 new affiliates will prove to fail because of lack of time to support those affiliates properly.

The few affiliates you get from well written and placed ads will take time to help develop, so be content with training the main few first.
