In designing a website one should consider the latest technology used in online advertising, which brings more traffic and a high response from visitors. An easy navigation of the site is a must.

In particular, a good SFI website should contain the following:

1.Well designed Home Page - Includes text and sign up buttons pointing to your SFI gateways and social networking links.

2. TripleClicks Store Page - Includes random products from TC Direct, ECA Listings and Auction Items.

3.Opportunity Page-It should contain your business offer with brief description and blogs about Tripleclicks,SFI,ECA,Wave3 and PB Auctions and SFI/TripleClicks links and banners.

4. Contact Page-Your contact information

5. Webstat button to track all the information on your site visitors such as number of visitors, country, time spent on site pages viewed etc.

6. Translation Features-The site could be read in any language.

The editing system especially in keeping up-to-date the blog site should be integrated with SEO (Search Engine Optimization). This is of utmost importance in maintaining the website.

It is also very important to consider a flexible designed of your website by using wordpress. This means that no matter what device your website is viewed on, whether it is an iPad, Android Smart Phone, Tablet, Desktop, Laptop or netbook, it should not cause any problem. Your site should fit and look like it was designed for any of the device mentioned.

If an affiliate wants to create and maintain their own website, I would clarify with them if they actually want a blog site or a website. Many people do not know the difference between the two. There are differences in cost and ease of management.

Then their are two types of blog sites:

1. Free ones allow advertisements to be placed on your site.

2. For a low cost you can have a blog site that you can moderate: what does or does not go on it from the public. For example, you may like to have the ability to have comments on your blogs. You can moderate that so unwanted advertisements are not put there.

The following should be included on a website or blog site:

1. Frequent blogging about what is happening at the SFI and TripleClicks Store. This will keep your affiliate higher in the search engines. Also use key words and backlinks to direct your contact to the various places in your business: SFI, TC, ECA, Wave3, Pricebeners etc.

2. Advertise Pricebender auctions, TripleClick items, and TripleClick departments with your SFI ID in the link or backlink.

3. Promote DistribuStar. Explain what the benefit is for them at the TripleClick Store such as the purchase of an EBook for as low as 1 TCredit. Explain MRP.

4. Have a form on each page of your website for people to fill out their name and email address so you can build you list and contact these people without spamming. You could offer a free download for filling out the form.

5. Use the banners and squeeze pages etc. that are free from SFI.

6. Have a page for your contact information.

7. Have a page for your own experience, success story and mission in SFI.

8. Let people know about all the benefits, contests and winning prizes available.

9. Let your enthusiasm shine.

10. Have connections on your website to places like your social sites like, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Linked In etc.

11. Join Tumblr, a social site that allows your posts there go directly to your website or blogsite.

These are just some of the many ideas to have a successful site.

Work on it every day and list it in all the search engines you can. Make it interesting and creative. Refer to your Gateway List for links to use on it. https://www.sfimg.com/MyAccount/GatewayList

I recommend getting a youtube channel and making videos to put on it about whatever it is you are best at. It has to be your passion. This is one of the best ways to get traffic to your website. On your channel you will want to include a link to your website. Just be natural and be yourself. If you don't have a video camera it's ok, use your webcam and do your best. Be excited about what you are doing but don't go overboard or people will think it's fake. Be real and be YOU.

One thing I do not recommend is running around the internet and trying to get your links on every blog or classified ad site you can, thousands are already trying that and it only gives SFI a bad name. Simply use your own website and your website address to get people's interest in what you have for them.

If you can install a forum on your site I recommend it. Be sure to work it every day and it's very important to respond to people and answer questions.

Be sure to login to SFI every day and read as much as you can so you have the answers when people ask you. And when you don't know the answers be sure you know how to find them.

This is your business and to be successful you need to show up every day. Work at it diligently and in time you will find success!

An experience marketer would entertain or already have a Website, for newbies I strongly recommend:

Keep it simple. Open a blog.
They are much easier to work with and less time consuming. Latest opinions are they attract more visitors,
if you maintain an active blog.
This means you will write frequent articles and messages in your blog attracting an audience of readers.

There are a number of free blog sites available, I use WordPress. For all, do a search on the net.
They are all a little different, some are less complicated, all come with instructions.

A blog has the bells and whistles for you to enter articles, banners, post pics, almost anything you
would like. Use all the materials provided by SFI to draw from.

You will need to pic out a Domain Name. Choose a name that will coincide with your Marketing strategy.
Brush up on Keywords, read the Training lessons provided by SFI. You should have done most by now.
This would be a good time to review.

You can use your blog as a lead page for your advertising with all sorts of links to SFI and Tripleclicks.
Use it in addition to your other advertising.
You will only enhance your marketing program.

Good question.

First of all I would utilize the images and text ads you'll find under the mktg tab. And use text from the various SFI and TripleClicks gateways in your web design.

If you have your own hosting and domain names, I would also use the ones provided for you at https://www.sfimg.com/CustomDomainManager even if all you do is redirect them to your main free or other gateways.

I would also make the pages have most of the information at or near the top so that people don't have to scroll way down to read it. Then you'll be able to use your pages in traffic exchanges where most of the information only has about ten seconds to be seen and acted upon.

Depending on how much money you're willing to spend to create your own website, you could make it as elaborate or as simple as you want. But if it was me, I'd go for the simple. Even just a blog on blogger.com or wordpress.com or .org would be a good way to start. And no matter what you do, if it doesn't work out the way you planned you can always come back to using the ones already set up for you, and still do a good job. We get new gateways all the time and they're all very nice and do a very good job of presenting this amazing opportunity.

1. Improves your credibility as an Internet marketer and as an SFI Team Leader.

2. Gives you the freedom to present and emphasize the information you want the way you want to.

3. You can send e-mail using your chosen domain name.

4. Makes your training information and tips easily available to your affiliates.

5. Allows you to set up a blog on your site. (CPanel hosting make it a 5-minute task using Fantastico on CPanel to auto-install a WordPress blog on your Website). Posting to your blog on a regular basis will improve your site's exposure on the search engines—very beneficial.

6. You can create a forum where your SFI team members can find and help one another...and you could help them all. You could even make a private forum for your SFI Team Members only.

7. Adding your own content on a regular and continued basis also will likely get you noticed by the search engines. You can use articles your affiliates submit, providing exposure for them, along with a link back to their SFI Gateway or personal Website.

8. You can setup a page to attractively frame your favorite SFI Gateway(s).

9. Allows you to offer more training options for your team with ebooks, software, and special reports in downloadable form.

10. You can host a site for your "technology challenged" affiliates. It could be as simple as just another page within your main Website. For instance, you could create "mysfiwebsite.com/XXXXXXXX," where XXXXXXXX is affiliate's SFI ID. You could also use the affiliate's name or company name.

I think it is a good idea for a SFI affiliate to have their own website so that they can personalize the experience of our business with current and potential affiliates.

In a website they should include the following items:

1. Capture widget to offer a free report, gift card or other item in return for the name, email, possibly phone number of the inquirer.

2. Simple colors (only 2-3).

3. Informative reports

4. Contests

5. Tripleclick & Auction ads

6. Advertisement for the latest product specials

7. A process to keep it updated regularly.

This might take a little bit of time but a good domain and a personal but informative website could help the SFI affiliate look more professional.

Go get them!

Having an SFI website can be very encouraging for the members of the team. If an affiliate want to create his/her own SFI website, I think he/she needs to think and set what kind of website it would be, is it a free or paid one, and what will the contents be.

The SFI website needs to be focused on what are SFI and how to run this business. The more complete the information about SFI, the better. It depends on him/her whether he/she wants to create a website from a free domain or a paid domain. Either one has both advantages and disadvantages. Depends also in the budget allowed to choose one. If he/she is willing to spend a few dollars for a website, then why doesn't he/she try to buy a website? It doesn't matter if the website is free or paid, as long as he/she can maintain it regularly.

Now how to maintain the website? I think he/she needs to give update information about SFI. Some policies are changed these days. Therefore, the contents of the website should be adjusted to give the latest information for others. He/she needs to update the website regularly, for example weekly, monthly, if not daily.

Also, he/she needs to update the anti virus and anti spam protections in order to have a good quality of his/her website. Updating them regularly will help protecting the website from spam and malfunction.

Keep up the great work...to your success!

Great question!
Creating your own website or blog is highly recommended, even by SFI. Why you ask? Because it distinguish you from all the other SFI gateways out there promoting the same product(s).

Having your own blog for instance, enables you to talk about work at home business and other important information in the business world of working from home. You gather information from picking up knowledge and post to your blog.

Of coarse you will be placing some of your SFI banner ads on your site as well, that could lead to sign ups and sales at your TripleClicks URL.

I advise my down-line to get their own domain name, like example(yourname.com) and have that domain redirected to your sfi gateway(http://www.sfimg.com/xxxxxxxxx)by your domain host when you advertise it. The reason for this is because a lot of the social sites and web advertisers will reject a lot of SFI (GateWays/xxxxxxxx) because they consider it spamming(everyone in SFI have the same URL except for the numbers).

Lastly, always review SFI rules before proceeding. Hope this helps.
