We have two general ways to advertise our SFI business. Paid and Free. Nevertheless, both cost us something, one is money and the other one is time. It is therefore appropriate to ask how can we be effective in both.

Effectiveness is getting good result but we also must concern with getting result at least cost, which is efficiency. So here are some ways of effective and efficient advertising.

1. Go After Your Target Audience

Generally our audience are those who are looking for earning opportunities online. For offline advertising, examine your network of relationships, (friends, acquaintances and relatives)and list down down the people who are keen on earning online or network marketing, specially those who have tried buying or paid online. Talk to them about SFI opportunities.

The same way in online advertising, find the same people in social media websites like FB and twitter. Just type in the search bar the correct keywords and you will end up in a group of people who are keen or currently doing online earning activities.

For paid ads, you also go to the sites where people are earning online, like PTC's. Honestly, testing is necessary and do not confine your self to one site immediately.

2. Highlight the Competitive Advantage of SFI in two to three lines.

You must know SFI business model very well to come up with good ads line. It should highlight SFI's advantages against other online program. Example of which is "it's free to join", "been here for 14+ years", "multiple streams of income"

3. Keep seeking. - Never put all your efforts in just one site or method, keep on trying what will work and once you find it, take advantage of it but keep on seeking for more.

4. Match your ads with your Gateway. We are given several gateways that we can use for advertising https://www.sfimg.com/MyAccount/GatewayList. Use the most appropriate gateway for your ads. Example, if your ads is about great savings in buying gadgets, you must use the pricebender's gateway.

5. Monitor Your Ads. Put monitoring in place for every ads that you launch, how many clicks and how many actually signed-up. and compute the cost per sign-up.

Hi,

Thanks for an interesting question.

Advertising [is] one of the most fundamental ways to sort out information. And that’s the gift of advertising - to connect with people in a human way - to make the kind of emotional connections that are at the core of story telling. – Eric Schmidt, ceo, Google

How to make your advertising more effective is synonym with how you can connect with people effectively?

I would answer it by putting it into 2 categories:

1) YOU act as promoter

a) Personally distribute TripleClicks Gift Card & Wave3 Card to your family, relatives, friends, colleagues or someone you just met. You can easily inform them about your online business and convince them to try it out since it's FREE...no cost to them.

b) Update your blog often. Successful bloggers are not on again off again bloggers. They pick a posting frequency and they stick to it no matter what. If you're going to do a new blog post everyday, then make sure you do a new blog post everyday. If you don't think you can handle that level of posting, then pick a number that you can handle.

It is better to post once per week on a consistent basis than once per day and then nothing for a week after. If you're new to blogging, I recommend you start with one to three posts per week and work up to a level that you're comfortable with. You should always work up the frequency and never work down.

A non-updated blog is a dead blog.

2) Use of external sources

a) Flyers Printing & Distribution Services - You can reach wide prospects locally in your country.

b) Submit Start Engine - Subscribe to guaranteed search engine submission service free of charge for as long as the banner remains on your personal website/blog

c) Links Management - Buy 3-5 Links a Week Within 3 Months To Get in The Top 10 on Google for Your Keywords.

You can make a search for high quality backlink pages, related to your website and buy links on them to improve your rankings on Google and other search engines. These backlink pages were filtered based on multiple quality criteria, such as Google PR, page authority, presence in Google cache, content uniqueness, etc., for you to be able to purchase the most quality backlinks that result in significant rankings boost in Google SERPs. According to our users' feedback, if you buy 3-5 links a week during minimum 3 months, your organic traffic from Google may increase for 3,000-10,000 visitors / months.

Hope the above helps. Good Luck!

Hello,

Advertising is an important part of the lead generation.
Some marketers suggest that you can do without the cost and low returns they attribute to advertising, but done right, advertising is a tremendous tool.

Lower your expectations!
you should probably be realistic about what an ad can do. If you are running a small online ad it might be unrealistic to believe you can get a multi-thousand dollar return?

Your ads should be able to move people from awareness to like and trust by having a small call to action that benefits them.

Make content your call to action, deliver awesome stuff, capture leads and gently move them on to even more awesome stuff as you introduce everything they need to know.

Take it a step further. Once you have a baseline you can start to work on improving your results by simply tweaking things like headlines, calls to offer, visual elements, keywords, content, publications and lists.

Once you know what’s working in one place you can expand to test it in other places.
I recommend using inexpensive Google AdWords campaigns to test out headlines and landing pages before broadcasting more widely.

Hope this helps?

Dear Milica,

The two ways of making your advertising more effective I'd like to discuss here are:

a) addressing your ad to the right group of people,
b) structuring your ad according to the media you are using;

and that's easier than it sounds.

As for a) addressing your ad to the right group of people.
Since I don't know what kind of advertising your are using (paid or free), let me address this question from the point of view of a person who uses free advertising only, including traffic exchanges, credit based safelists, text ad exchanges, and forums.

As you can probably see, the first three I mentioned above ARE NOT good places to advertise money making opportunities (although they can still yield a few affiliates). Why? Simply because people there - on traffic exchanges, safelists, text-ad exchanges - are there to FIND affiliates/customers for their businesses, not to look for another opportunity. So most probably they will just fly past your add only to get their credits (we can change that a bit, read on), although theoretically they are also opportunity seekers.

Forums, on the other hand, can be a good source of fresh affiliates if used well. First of all, these must be forums revolving around "making money on the internet". If you use that phrase plus "forum" in Google, you may find lots of them to join. There you have like-minded people who are discussing opportunities on the web and who are also looking to make more money or to start making money. Sign up for one or two of them, start posting, but do not advertise in your posts. You place your ads in your signature - that's a part of the post that is always displayed and contains information from/about you. You just make a nice one-, two-liner with your SFI link embedded, and each time you make a post, people will always see your signature.

If you participate in the forum, post your stories, reply to other people's posts, you'll get noticed and your signature link will get clicked, but that needs time. However, the affiliates that will come will be the most targeted affiliates you can have for free since they will come from a money-making forum with a money-making mindset.

Now, lets go to point b) structuring your ad according to the media you are using.

We have discussed forums above, and you know that the best place to put your ad is your signature. I have also mentioned that we can improve our situation at traffic exchanges, safelists, and text ad exchanges by selecting our ads properly.

The keyword here is SPLASH-PAGE. https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/OppSplashPage
The most common error people make and kill their advertising is that they put URLs to their sign-up pages in traffic exchanges and other programs. As I mentioned above, people at traffic exchanges and other programs like that are not there to look for opportunities. What's more, they need to look at your page as long as the timer in the program is set. Sometimes 6 seconds, and they proceed to the next website, and nobody will bother to fill in the sign-up form. The splash page, on the other hand, may attract their attention and they will click it. Make sure, that you make the link in the splash-page open a new browser window. People at traffic exchanges simply hate when you drive them out of their surfing session. If a new window/tab opens, they will have a chance to look at it when they finish their surfing session.

Summing up - use splash-pages and make sure the link opens a new browser tab/window.

These two simple steps should increase your advertising power. At the same time, please remember to use all possible channels offered by a program, e.g. text links and banners on a traffic exchange, etc.

So much about making your ads more effective on free sites. I hope you and everybody reading it will find the information helpful.

The best way to make your advertising more effective is to track the results then adapt accordingly. Moreover, you must perform test campaigns before you are settled on an ad. This is the main mistake newbie internet marketers make. Most think that you can just pin up ads all over the internet and watch 'the cows come home'.

Marketing is a process. So you must gather information about where you are marketing to determine if that is a good source or not. Then you must create your best ad. Place the ad where you choose and track it. If you don't get good results after 1 week make some improvements on the ad title. Track the results over a week. If you get better results, but still not satisfactory then change the message. Track the results over a week. Finally you may see satisfactory results.

Then, place that ad in as many places as you like and repeat the process on the new sources of traffic/sales/recruits. As time progresses, you will find many places that you get satisfactory results using free advertising. Always seek improvement. Thus, when your free ads are recruiting on average 1 sale/recruit per day then up the ante and invest some cash into that advertising. Then and only then, will you see the result that you will be very pleased with.

Your headline is 70% responsible for the success of your ad. You want it to promise the biggest benefit, make a news announcement, or ask a provocative question.

“Worried about money?
Lose those worries by adding a second paycheck with Strong Future International. It's good, and it will get interested people to read your sales copy [which is the job of your headline].

Test Your ads. Create two different ads with two different offers. Key the ads so you know which ad the client saw, and see which offer works best. This is absolutely the best way to increase the effectiveness of your advertising. Keep testing until you find the offer that works the best. You will DOUBLE the effectiveness of your ads.

Understand the variety of promotional venues you can work with. You can use discount coupons, free premiums, loss-leader premiums, bundled products or services, rebates, sampling, contests, and/or sweepstakes to bring customers in. You can offer credit terms and easy payments. You can offer a 30 day no questions asked return policy. You can promise to beat any advertised price in the market. You can guarantee quality, freshness, turn-around time, or anything else that will make your offer more attractive to consumers.


You need to make your customers squirm, or wince, or laugh, or cry. You need them excited, exhilarated, and ready. Let them feel danger. Fear. Heat. Sex. Hunger. Pain. Desire. Life. Death. Stoke them up, and then tell them how to get what they want. Fulfill that desire. Quench that thirst. Eliminate that pain. Easy. Fast. Free.

That's how you get more effective advertising. Your words are what will get you new clients. Your words must generate an emotional response in your reader.

Human beings respond to specific motivations. The strongest one is fear. From a little dandruff on the collar to a full-blown heart attack, advertisers use fear to motivate because it works.

I hope it hepls!!

This is a very viable and important question becaue one of the keys to a successful on or off-line business is effective advertisement.It is design with the intent and purpose to put products ane services before the consumers. Therefore websites,blogs and direct links become an extension or replacement for a standard/traditional store front. The following depicts some of the considerations that make advertising more attractive.

Article writing: if article writing is a part of your advertising arsenal,you should compose articles that are dripping with target key words that are optimized to attract leads, prospects, clients or consumers to uour sprcific website. Post them on e-zines and article directories to acquire maximum exposure and ranking in search engines. This will allow anyone searching for those key words to find your website mucn more easier there by providing you with more visitors/traffic and this can translate into your profit.

Another key factor that one must keep in mind is your target population, therefore it is imperative that you understand who you're reaching out to and what they want. Having the right product or services, or following a particular trend. What I'm trying to convey is understanding the demographics. This means if your target are the baby boomers - the people born between 1946 to 1964, understand what their needs are and go to work. Every eight seconds one of them turn sixty or more and there objective is to live longer,look younger, be healthier, feel better and enjoy their retirement. So you introduce a product that can do that. SFI has tons of products, choose the ones you want to market and go to work. Also remember people move products and not the other way around. Again use your imagination and let your ads be directed to other age groups or target population.

In addition be persuasive, cause or compel people to place orders, request more information and show support for the products.Call upon them to take a specific action. You may offer something in return, lets say a gift card or ... appeal to their emotional needs/wants by being useful and informative.So again to make your advertising more effective, know your target population, their needs and follow a

The best advertising, in my experience, is honest advertising.

When I place ads, I make it clear that SFI is a real business that requires time and work to achieve success. This results in less new PSAs joining, but the people who do join know what to expect from the SFI business, and are much more likely to be committed and to put the work in.

I also have a blog that explains the SFI business in detail, so that new prospects fully understand what they have to do before they join. I promote the blog in various places, such as traffic exchanges, safelists and classified ads, and I also receive some search engine traffic. The new PSAs who come through my blog are always the most active and the most serious about building a business.

The BEST way to make your advertising more effective is to have a target audience being advertised to. What I mean is this, advertise to a group that you know want what you have.

If I were advertising the PB auctions and the iPad, I probably wouldn't advertising in some elderly magazine or to an older audience, mainly because my largest audience is NOT going to be older people, it'll be the younger, working group.

If I were advertising how becoming an affiliate will help you to retire early, I probably won't be very effective marketing to college students; but would do better talking to professionals and semi-professionals who might be in their 40's and looking for a way to end their working career a little earlier.

Basically, what I am saying is the best way to advertise effectively, is to find out where the crowd that you are trying to win hangs out... and market there - simple!!!
