There are two basic ways to set up a co-op for your affiliates.

1. Set up a co-op by using the Co-Op Manager in the Tools Section and use S-Builder's Key Code. You can either reward affiliates for reaching goals or whatever you like, or you can ask affiliates to join your co-op and have them share in the cost.

2. You can set up a co-op, using the Co-Op Manager, and either do your own advertising on PPC or free sites, with your own Key Codes; or you can join a co-op that your sponsor or upline team members have, creating your co-op with the Co-Op Manager and making sure the Key Code of your co-op matches the one that you have joined. You can then offer membership in the co-op to affiliates for a fee, or you can reward hard-working affiliates with PSAs to help them grow their teams.

I am not experienced in advertising, and I do not have the time and money to invest in very many advertising campaigns for myself. For this reason, I find it easier for me to work with S-Builder and perhaps one or two co-ops that my upline members have. If you are experienced in various online and offline advertising methods, you might want, if you have the time and financial resources, to set up your own co-op, in combination with an S-Builder one. Instructions for setting up co-ops are included in the Co-op Manager and are very clear and concise.

I hope you find using co-ops a very rewarding experience as I have. Be sure, however, to track with Key Codes and watch to see which ones are working. Use those where you are getting good results.

Enjoy this wonderful opportunity!

Advertising co-op is one way of encouraging you affiliates to be active with their SFI business. There are two types of Co-ops that you can set for your affiliates.

1. You pay the cost of advertising. You make the co-op membership as reward to what they have achieved. You can also do this to build relationship among your affiliates specially if you only have few.

2. You divide the Cost among those who would like to join the co-op, either equally or pro-rated depending on his contribution.

In both cases you need to prepare the following.

1. Who will be the members of the coop? define the qualification.
2. Where will you advertise? are you using S-builder or outside SFI? among the well known sites for advertising are PTC's.
3. How do you collect the money? do they send it through paypal? or other ways.
4. Be sure to know the technical side of setting up a coop from SFI website, using coop manager. https://www.sfimg.com/PowerTools/TLCoop.

Just a last word, be sure to test the site first yourself if sign ups are really coming before you use that site for your coop. You will be in trouble if none sign-up. Another important reminder, do not make it as business, coop is meant to help your affiliates and friends at SFI not exploit them.

A true answer to your question would take an E-Book to explain all of the variables at your disposal to use.

My short answer is:

1. If you are new to Internet Marketing, and are unfamiliar with advertising on the Internet, I would recommend opening your Co-op and purchase S-Builders to supply the leads for your affiliates. You may include yourself in this same Co-op.
It is easily set up for you and SFI does all the work.
Just go to Co-op Manager under your Power Tools link.

2. If you are more experienced, my suggestion is to find a solid source of new sign ups prior to opening a separate Co-op. Once it is proven, then start your Co-op.

You may find in #2, that you will have to continue your search for alternative sign up resources. Often, good sources dry up after awhile.

You can use PPA or PPC programs, traffic exchanges, safelists, classified ads, your own webpage or blog.

I know this is brief. Detail information is provided by SFI in the Training Lesson and using a search engine works well.

Discuss with your Sponsor/Co-Sponsor, they may have some direct resources to share with you.

Before you can set up an advertising co-op, you need to have a good source of new affiliates, so the first step is to test different advertising methods, and keep a record of the results (use Key Codes for this).

Once you have decided on your advertising methods, you have two choices. You can either set up a free co-op or a paid co-op.

A free co-op (as the name suggests) is one where there is no cost to participate. You could require a certain level of activity at SFI to participate in the co-op. For example, I run a free co-op for my team where everyone who has achieved EA status or higher one month receives a free co-op share the next month. This kind of co-op is great because it encourages activity, rewards those team members who are working, and also helps to grow your team.

The other option is a co-op where people pay for shares. Personally, I think this is more difficult because you are asking people for money, and you really have to be sure you can deliver what you are offering. Once you have a good source of referrals, set the price per share for your co-op, and tell your team about it.

You can also combine the two co-ops by, for example, offering free shares to anyone who meets a minimum qualification, and paid shares to everyone else, and/or to anyone who qualifies for a free share, but also wants to buy extra shares.

Make sure you promote your co-op to your team through team mails, your Leadership Page, and also regular stream posts.

Hello Suhrita great question

the best way to set up an advertising co-op for your affiliates would have to be through the S-Builder co-op shares.

you would send a team mail message to your group inviting them to join in your co-op.

You can either do it for free and buy however many shares you think you will need to spread across your team. remember each share will bring in between 6-8 affiliates so plan according.

or you could offer it to your team of EA2's and above who are willing to split the costs with you say you pay $11 and they pay $11 each share they are willing to buy into

you could do one co-op and just have it setup so all of your members are receiving 1 share and you have 2 shares (if you bought extra shares of S-Builder for yourself just make sure you add your own sfid into the co-op manager) I would not do a set number of sign-ups per person for the simple fact that there might not be enough sign-ups from the S-Builder co-op but if you do use that option I recommend leave it at say 5-6 affiliates per person unless someone bought 2 co-ops from you then they would get 10-12 sign-ups and then the rest will flow to you which should not be that many 1-3 per share if the S-Builder produces all 8 sign-ups you can always reassign affiliates if there were too many left over at the end of the month and you always want to be fair to your downline

Another option if you found a great place to advertise would be to create an ad on your own in a magazine, newspaper, or online with a great website and connect the ad to a key code you would use for a custom domain. buy or win a custom domain first direct it to the address http://sfi4.com/xxxxxxxx.3101/FREE (this is the current site the Co-op uses) with key code (in this example)3101 then set up the co-op. In the ad use the custom domain (because it will be easier to remember) but it will redirect to the correct address just make sure when you set up the co-op you use the same key code as the redirected custom domain. It's good to have more that i lifetime custom domain so you can use the others for your own advertising efforts to build your own downline.

I hope that this has answered some of your questions

thanks

see you at the top!

Personally, I have found that the use of the Co-op Manger has been a really great way to set up a shared co-op with members of your down-line. SFI does "all the heavy lifting" with the use of a Co-op Manager.

I extend an invitation to join the Co-op to fellow affiliates who are part of my down-line and await for their response. Those who respond positively to the invitation, I add their ID to the rotation pool and all is done. I request that each member is to do the personal work with each new affiliate that the Co-op Manger adds to their down line - that is how I have been able to use the co-op for my team.

I am able to co-ordinate the Co-op Manger through the purchase of a couple of S-Builder units (that are also offered through SFI). I have found this to be an effective way to help members of my team and they help through the use of their time to mentor new affiliates to do the same as they do with running their SFI business.

SFI truly has done all the hard work for all affiliates by providing tools that are designed for advertising and down-line membership growth.

From my personal experience, the best ways in setting up an advertising Co-op could be done through S-builder Co-op.
The reason I prefer S-builder Co-op to other advertising medium is that it is well organised, monitored and has an effective and efficient tracking system.
Such advert could be paid or free. I prefer both with reasons. First operate a paid Co-op to acertain members that are serious and willing to work. When you have done this, as a reward of their hardwork channel the most active members in the paid Co-op to the free Co-op.
It is often said that nothing good comes easy. When you make your Co-op very easy to join and operate. Some curious members will lose interest in it with the excuse that nothing good is going to come out at the end.
I hope with these points, you can choose the right medium to operate your advertising Co-op.

Communication is a vital factor you need to consider when your budget is tight and need to share the advertising cost to your team mates. The best ways to set up an advertising co-op are:

1. Take good use of your Genealogy Report to get participants for your advertising co-op for your team. Write an invitation letter to join the advertising co-op stating the purpose, how it would operate and the cost involved in creating one. Set up a deadline as to when you will create your advertising co-op so your team mates would know the due date of their payment.

2. In case, you can afford the cost of creating an advertising co-op and want your downline to participate since you can not do everything by yourself, write them an invitation letter to join and states the mechanics as on how they would be able participate and the benefit they would derived from participating.

3. In case, you wanted your advertising co-op to have its own website to assure your team that the advertising campaign would be forever, lay down the cost involved to your team mates, the mechanics and responsibilities involved having an owned website. Who knows, one of your team mate might have an experience of making a website. The cost would be lesser if this would be the case.

The best way to set up an advertising co-op for your affiliates is to make it as cost effective as possible. Administering a co-op is not exactly without its added work load. So I don't have a problem with the administrator accounting for this labor. Nevertheless, I believe true leadership is servitude.

So I have made it possible for any affiliate to participate in our team co-op because it is absolutely free. It only requires a reasonable investment of time. If the affiliate wants to succeed, then they can make the necessary sacrifice to grow their business. While affiliates from poorer parts of the world may have a difficult time supporting the cost of a paid co-op, that would hinder the progress of their SFI business.

With the 100% free ad co-op, there is no excuse for not participating and actively growing your SFI network. If an affiliate is too lazy to participate for free then they really are not cut out for this type of business.
