I have done this very thing and you can get a rather cheap site at like Homestead.com, Web.com, or 1n1.com. Once you create your site you can get very cheap hosting to post it on sites with traffic.

Post pics from the E-card section, items from Tripleclicks and Wave3, videos from YouTube (but be careful they aren't advertising someone's site), and you can post a blog about yourself and your experience to make it more personal. The key is to make it simple, but to the point. No more than 1-2 pages. First page should intrigue your audience, usually with video or presentation.

Advertise the site on several places to ensure it gets decent traffic. Facebook marketplace is a good one, but don't ad SFI or you will be blocked or denied. You can also use tinyurl if you need to change the name. Gybo.com is great for advertising on Google. Find as many FREE advertising sites as possible and share your new link.

It's usually easy step by step process to create and play with features making your own site. I sure have fun with it and hope you do too!

Good Luck!

My advice would be that it's a great idea and perhaps the best way to promote and grow your SFI business.

One of the best ways to do this is by posting your own experiences with SFI on your own website. Give an honest opinion of what you've done so far within your SFI business and what you hope to achieve.

Make sure you post all of your successes and be honest about your failures. There's no shame in failing as long as you learn from your mistakes. People will be more likely to better relate to you if you provide honest feedback and set proper expectations about SFI.

Your own success relies entirely on your team, so lying to prospective affiliates does you no good. If you're not making any money, tell them. If you're struggling to build your team, tell them. The odds are that your downline is experiencing exactly what you are, so by voicing it you can truly work together as a team.

This is a very timely question, because website or blog is now playing big role in SFI marketing and those who don't have one yet I strongly encourage you to have one.

Majority of the major social networks like FaceBook are no longer accepting majority of our gateways (links) from SFI. This is the reason why we need website or blog.

The second reason is to have free signups when the search engines (like google, bing and yahoo)started to notice our website/blog.

If you can not do it yourself, there are ECA's who can do them for you for very reasonable price.

Those who can do it yourself here are my tips in how to make it useful for SFI marketing.

1. On the design aspect:

a. Make your topmost section as your splash page. That when someone go to your blog/website they will be invited to join SFI immediately. You can also make this a separate page, but lessening the number of clicks will help your visitor. - This is called accessibility. Important information must be accessible upfront.

b. The middle part. That's where you can put the normal content of your website/blog. Which will include your posting, some videos and banners.

c. The bottom part - you can use them to put some other ads to your other internet program that support your SFI business.

2. On Cost:

Minimize cost by avoiding recurring monthly charges on hosting. Use Blogger or Wordpress to build your site then if you want a dot.com address just buy a domain and direct it to you website/blog.

3. On Search Engine.

Always put original and useful content and post content regularly. Content is still the king for search engine. You can read some SEO techniques but never compromise on content.

I am willing to help. You can me later when our names are revealed.

My advice for an SFI Affiliate who wants to create and maintain their own website is

1. Choose a keyword rich domain- You can find keywords by going to Google's keyword tool, just google it. Next, you type in a keyword and choose one that has a decent amount of searches and low competition. Google's keyword tool which is now known as keyword planner is limited to stating low, medium or high so what you need to do is grab the keyword and type it in Google's search box in quotes. Next, you click on the search and you go to the last page of google to see the exact competition. This same process applies to finding good keywords to base articles off when you began to create content for your website.

Set up your domain at Namecheap or GoDaddy which are some of the best places to buy your domain. Try to set up you name servers while purchasing it.

2. Search Engine Optimization- These are Some Core Ranking Methods:

Use your keyword in the Meta Title and meta description on every page. This is the first SERP (Search Engine Results Pages) Impression.

Use related keywords in the Heading Tags- H1 Tags for titles and H3 and H4 tags for Subheadings and use them in order.

Internal link your content from one page to another can help you rank better in the search engines because it lets Google know that your content is valuable enough to refer people to other pages other than a straight affiliate link. Inter link related keywords.

External links- Link to authority sites within your niche.

3. Create high quality content- They say 'Content is King'. This will lead to making you an authority in your niche. High quality content can naturally lead other sites link naturally to you, give you a boost in the search engines and visitor loyalty.

Now, you should still keep search engine optimize your site but still try to sound natural. Remember that you're writing for people and not the search engines. The most important thing is to create attention grabbing titles with your keyword.Include your keyword somewhere in the first sentence of your first paragraph, sprinkled throughout your content, and mention it in your last paragraph.

Your content should be readable meaning that you should use black text on white background and it should be socially engaging. Also use related images throughout your content and embed YouTube videos.

4. Search Engine Optimization- These are Some Core Ranking Methods:

Use your keyword in the Meta Title and meta description on every page. This is the first SERP (Search Engine Results Pages) Impression.

Use related keywords in your Heading Tags: H1 Tags for titles and H2 and H3 tags for Subheadings-use them in order.

External links-Link to Authority sites within your niche

SEO is important and it takes time for your site to rank, but remember there are other ways to market your site such as article directories, social media, social bookmarking your site, YouTube video marketing, forums, classified ad sites, your own business card, commenting on other people's blogs, and many more.

5. Install Google Analytics- This way you can track the behavior of your visitors and optimize the pages that have a high bounce rate

6. Don't overuse affiliate links, Google doesn't like this. Try to always centralize your content to one to three pages. Always add a key code to your affiliate links and even on your banners.

7. Include an About Me page to increase trust and credibility.

8. Other pages I would add are TripleClicks,Penny Auctions, ECA, SFI, Contact and a Privacy Policy Page.

Great question, and I would support any affiliate in my downline who wants to create their own website.

Creating a website is a big step forward in building an online business, and like any big step some planning is needed before starting. The planning will help to deliver a well-focused site that gets across its message in a clear way, and to avoid the mess that you see on many websites (bad navigation, clutter, or unclear content and purpose).

One of the easiest ways to start is with a blog, as many other answers to this question have suggested. A good blog like Wordpress makes it easy to build a site with links pointing to SFI and to ECAs and products at TripleClicks.

Another advantage of a blog is that it minimizes the amount of technical stuff that you need to think about. There is a lot to properly running a website, and a blog takes care of a lot of the details for you, allowing you to focus on content and not get too bogged down in the details.

Understand that a website is not a one-and-done concept. It is like owning a car - it requires regular maintenance to keep it running.

Overall, a website or blog can be a great way to increase your ability to connect with potential affiliates or customers, and is a great way to build your business if approached properly.

This is a great question that should be taken very seriously as it' is a powerful business booster if done correctly.

An affiliate that wants to create and maintain their own SFI website is serious in their intent to take their SFI business up a few levels. The objective of an SFI website is to promote SFI or review SFI utilizing your own business techniques to build up a following outside the traditional SFI site and gain a dedicated trusted fan base. You can promote the site as a best home based business or work from or startup business blog.

By building your own brand and style, you build a following that will follow your actions or they will see based off your website layout and what topics you blog daily, that you are involved in system where you can earn a good income starting with no or little money.

The idea is build a traffic generator of leads offsite that will filter out a very defined group followers that will when ready become a very high converting lead pool that will likely be looking for something to grasp on too to sign up. This is important to understand that you should focus on blog posts, banners, etc. that show off SFI benefits so one can see for themselves that they can be successful at SFI.

Therefore, in essence, your site as stated above also becomes a traffic generator of high converting leads that can leverage you banner links strategically placed around your site to get to your gateway pages where they become organic grown PSAs. These leads that link to your gateway from your site are worth gold and are better than SBuilder shares and they are purely
organic. I have some in my downline from my site that are all still here. Every one is here and has remained.

This is very powerful as you can see. The last point to make here is that with an SFI site be sure to follow all SFI rules of engagement for what you can and cannot do. You need to use SFI banners and ads, unless approved, you can use your own. Do not deviate and do not advertise BBB and do not post guarantees of income that link SFI to that or you will be doing a disservice to yourself.

Stay focused and blog the SFI rules of success and you will have a very powerful ad coop of sorts that will always fill you sales pipe with high converting PSAs. This is a great idea for anyone who can to build an offline SFI website. I encourage my line and anyone whom asks to build an offsite SFI website and will help them as this is a win/win for all.

Hope this helps!!

The Site preferably should have a name that describes its purpose . For example, my business , work online , work from home , long-term business ...

Make a site that will be simple and understandable for visitors . They should be able to easily find all the relevant information of interest to them . Do not woo visitors, it well produces the opposite effect .

Website should have informational character, not educational, with short texts. But also to give the visitor the most important information about the SFI business.

On the Home page you can present your self . Put your information (e-mail , Skype , FB profile ... ect.)

Below you can present the SFI business. There put the most important information on membership , training , ways to make money ... and invite visitors to join for free.

Make a few more pages, for each segment of our business, with a brief description (TripleClicks , Pricebenders auctions , ECA ... )
Pages should be illustrated with some appropriate pictures.
Be sure to set the banners.
At the bottom of every page your link to join the SFI.

You can put a video that talks about our job (download the YouToube )it looks professional.

Avoid animations and many colors that can irritate visitors ...

For sites dealing with business issues it is recommended that the dominant color is blue.

This is what I think about

An affiliate that wants to maintain their own site should do so with the understanding that they should not misrepresent TripleClicks, SFI, Carson Services, or any of their affiliates. Other that this, be sure that you website is within guidelines of your affiliate agreement.

Moreover, any affiliate that maintains a site promoting SFI can build a great list of followers for themselves. Having your own SFI related site differentiates you from the crowd. You can present SFI in the best way that you understand it as long as your understanding is valid. Too much information only confuses new affiliates so a real simplified version is in order. A video that explains the basics and some of your best tips to make EA and beyond.

Finally, with your own domain you can control the content on your sit. You don't have to have a 1 stop shop like TripleClicks. Again, too many options just confuse. So 1 theme and about 6 products that you change periodically is all you need. Of couse, don't forget to highlight the crown jewel of our compensation plan: PriceBender Auctions!

If an affiliate asked me how or if they should create and maintain their own SFI website I would encourage them to create a site that first and foremost highlights them and then the SFI business. Why?...because it is easy to duplicate with each new person who joins.

People connect with people and want to know the character of the people they will be associated with. They want to know that you care about them, their goals, dreams, and successes. They want to know you will be there to help them when they are frustrated or have failed.

The SFI site is a vessel for storing all of the information for training, products, levels of achievement, marketing materials, rewards, and FAQ. As such a web link to SFI would be important but not as important as your ability to sell yourself first. Without people, no business can succeed.

You know most people who quit do so because they never made a human connection with someone who can listen to them and help them. So if you sell yourself first and include your enthusiasm for SFI with links that introduce them to the business, you will get more people who will check it out and sign up with you. And...isn't that what you are after?

Also remember this, people listen to a radio station called WIIFM (What Is In It For Me). So if you have a website or landing page that answers this vital question (WIIFM), and highlights YOU the affiliate or Team Leader, you present a stronger vision of what they can achieve. And, they could create a website for themselves easily, with or without your help.

Success is achieved by standardizing what you do and then doing it over and over and over again. So remember this phrase "standardize and replicate" then put it into practice.

Make every day a good day to succeed.

You already have an TConnect Page to use to advertise.
I am a webdesigner myself and can understand why some will want to do it.

I found the best program to use is a website builder/creator. Like WIX or your ISP's own website builder. Choose a good domain name as it is also like a searching keyword in search engines.
Very important is the keywords. Organic keywords take time to make it rounds to get good ranking. Others like PPC is quicker but cost extra although you can budget for it.

Use nice 2 - 3 colours and make it easy to navigate through the website.

Then advertise as much as you can on advert sites or let one of the ECA's advertise the website link for you.

Website creating can be time consuming. I would suggest to plan it first on piece of paper and then design it.

Good Luck!
