A business card that can promote SFI and TripleClicks effectively is not as simple as putting your name and contact information on a small glossy or matt card. You need to be creative in how you can format your business card and there are many ways to do this including options of what information to include on your card so that it will stand out among the rest.

When creating business cards to promote SFI/TripleClicks effectively you need to consider the following points:

- What information should you include on your business card?

Keep your business card simple by being selective about the information you include. You might think that it is a good idea to reduce the font size and include every last bit of information on your business card such as name, title, name of business, phone, email, and website/blog, every social network profile, and sales pitch, bio and so on. If you have this much information on your business card, you are most certainly losing the recipient's attention due to information overload. Include only enough information to arouse the interest of your recipient making it memorable.

- Legibility

Make sure that your business card is clear enough to read. Ensure that the fonts of your choosing on your business card aren't too small, too fancy, or distorted in some way, making your card difficult to read. You can also include an attractive logo to add some spice to your card and remember to keep the text simple and straightforward.

- How much space to be used on your business card?

Nowadays business card printing is affordable. You can have full color text and designs on both sides of your business card but avoid covering every white space on our card completely. You should leave a space for your recipient to make notes or jot down a memory trigger.

- Invest in professional printing of your business card.

You may be able to save a moderate amount of money and update your information easily if you print them yourself, but the impact of handing over a homemade business card isn't the same as cards that are printed professionally. Do-It-Yourself business cards might not make the best first impression.

- Consider designing your business cards for your audience.

SFI and TripleClicks are businesses that complement each other, consider using the front of your business card for SFI and the back for TripleClicks.

- Consider a “Call to Action”

Craft a short message that offers a discount (such as Closeout deals, hot deals, Penny Auctions and so on), directs the recipient to your website, or provides a tip that will be relevant and useful to the reader. If you hit the mark with a specific call to action or other helpful information, you can make your card instantly memorable and generate more leads in the process.

As a Beginner in online advertising, there are few points to consider before taking action. If you follow the following guidelines, you will get results. Know what you want with your advertising, where to get it and what will you do with it once you have it.

To get you started:
1. You need to define your advertising objective. Think why you need to advertise, what is the goal of your advertising program. Is it to make your company visible in the marketplace and increase online/offline sales? Is it for generating new leads? Each goal should have a corresponding advertising path. You can maximize your results, if you are certain what you want your advertising to do.
2. You need to make decision where you want to be seen. To be seen in the right place makes a difference. Where you place your ads is very crucial to your success. What websites are most relevant regarding your business? How about Search Engines or Online Yellow pages? Consider also exploring trade specific websites for a more targeted audience.

3. You need to be creative. The online marketplace is teeming with new ads constantly. You will have strong competition with your ads. Your most valuable asset in this crowd is your creativity, which will make your ad stand out. Be creative in the placement of the advertisement.

4. You need to choose the advertising medium well. To maximize response, choose the advertising medium carefully. You have several choices like banner ads, contextual advertising, ezine advertising etc. Research and read on various formats and the factors for each one’s success. Then decide on what format works best for your ad campaign. Once you have decided on the format, it is equally important to choose the vendor. If you have decided on banner advertising, research and list the websites that would give you the maximum exposure to the right kind of audience. Check out the option of using advertising networks and the pay-per-click options as well.
Once your ad campaign has been set in motion, monitor the response and be ready to change or completely redo your copy and the advertising vehicles you use. Keep a track of the ROI (Return on Investment) for every advertising purchase that you make. In this way you can figure out which forms of advertising are working for you and which ones are not.

Remember:
All online advertising is aimed at inducing an“action”. Every online ad that you see is built to make you act. For example: Register for a free newsletter, buy now and save big dollars and so on. Once the prospect has been pushed into an action, there should be real value for him. Unless you can fulfill the promise your brand is making, your online ad has been wasted.

A well-planned and well-executed advertising campaign can fuel the growth of your home business tremendously. Use online advertising following these simple guidelines and see how it impacts your sales, visibility and brand building, all at the same time.

If I have a limited time to invest in SFI, I will recommend the following:

1, Your Time Management

Set aside time for doing SFI each day without jeopardizing your other commitment. This could be your full time job. If you work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, then plan 2 hours for SFI. If possible, you can also put more hours on the weekend. You need time for doing your To-Do List and staying contact with your team consistently.

2. Your Financial Management:

It is important that you keep your fulltime job. You can invest some amount from your fulltime job's income to fullfil your Standing Order commitment, purchase affiliates from TripleClicks and most imprtantly maintain incentives/rewards to grow your downlines. If you don't have a fulltime job or no financial resources, then you have to avail of the free online advertising, first with TripleClicks products selling or do the SFIPPA program to earn income for investing in SFI. This could be a long process and requires considerable amount of time but with your commitment and determination, you will make it.

If I have affiliates that signed up and do nothing, I will not ignore them but rather continue to send messages of encouragement, because I don’t really know the reason behind, why affiliates are not doing anything. Why in the first place, they signed up? Every individual differs; I just can’t generalize what the motivation behind the inactivity.

I can just share my experience with SFI. I joined back in 2002 and it was very difficult to even sponsor an affiliate. Back in my mind, I do know that SFI has its potential to change my life. I logged in once in awhile, but I didn’t understand how I can move up. I was thinking of quitting back in Dec. 2012, when I logged in and saw the big difference of what SFI used to be. I got excited and became active. I amazed at the big changes that SFI has gone through. Within six months of becoming active, I achieve Silver Team Leader.

The message I want to convey here, is that don’t ever, give up. You don’t know, what’s in the mind of every affiliate that signed up under you. As long as they have not opted out, you have the opportunity to continue supporting them by sending those messages of encouragement. Don’t let this situation frustrate you, but focus on your movers. By doing this, you are building your trust and confidence within your team.

Who knows, one day, one or several of your inactive affiliates will become Platinum Leaders!

A good Team Leader maintains his close communication with his affiliates. It is through communication that relationship will start to develop. Being a Team Leader, you are leading and laying down the foundation of your relationship within your team. Your examples play an important role in forming what kind of relationship will be established within your team.

So when you send messages to your team, keep in mind the following principles to avoid too much or being redundant in communicating with them:

Ask the following questions:

What is the message? Are you sending messages that are readily available at SFI homepage, like the “Tip of the Day” or just sending the “Quote of the Day”, which they can read themselves as they log in daily? Does your message contain important information vital for your team’s success?

How often do you communicate with your team? Messages should be sent at regular intervals so they are expected (once or twice a week). This predictability will increase the chances that the message will be read. Only extremely urgent messages should vary from scheduled message times. Being sent at a different time than usual will emphasize its importance, but only if it is rare and all other messages are sent at a regularly scheduled time.

Why is this message necessary? Before sending any message out, ask why you are sending it. Pausing will help to determine what information is essential and what is not. If it is not essential, perhaps it should only be communicated to those it concerns in a different manner.

If you want your team members to take you seriously, avoid unnecessary repetition. Don’t over flog any message; tell your team members what you want them to know or do. Also ask them if they are clear about it.

To sum up, remember that the point of working as a team is to share ideas and boost productivity of your team. As a Team Leader, you lead them by your examples. Be a team player and create friendship in your team!

As a team leader, you need to set a plan for all your first time EAs and including those who just signed up and haven't logged in. During their first months, it is very important to have a continuous communication with them. Let everyone of them feels the importance of working closer together as a team and it is essential in achieving everyone's success. Motivate them to get involve.

Most of the affiliates who are doing their SFI activity in the first months are done or almost done with reading and studying the SFI tools and resources. Depending on their learning speed, they should be able to grasp the ultra-simple 3-step plan.

The second month could be a challenge to accumulate VPs to renew to EA2 without investing money. Therefore, recommend to them to place a standing order, if they are serious with SFI. Support them in their journey towards achieving to become team leaders. Although SFI provided all the resources and tools, they will need your help in doing their sponsoring, participating in pricebender auction, supporting their downline and so on. If you as a team leader, can convince them that you're committed to their success, then you have started to build a strong foundation to everyone in your team.

It will rake time and this will put you into challenge, which requires patience, determination and perseverance and at the same time building your character, your quality of leadership.

SFI offers to anyone including people with disabilities to make money working at home. Working at home is a popular choice for many people with a disability. It can be much simpler to work something flexible at home than to deal with whatever limitations your disability may cause at an office or other place of work.

As long as you have a computer and access to the Internet and the ability to self discipline yourself to regular working hours without distractions, you can build a successful business with SFI. SFI is not a get rich quick “system” but a full-blown business that you control.

Building a real business with SFI takes time and effort:

- The fundamentals and principles of SFI are laid out clearly through SFI BASICS and LAUNCHPAD. You don’t need to have a bachelor degree to understand the SFI system, but you’ll need consistency, determination and long lasting commitment.

- If you want to grow your business online, you must be willing to put together your goal, plan, develop a website, create content, and promote your site with your marketing strategy. You’ll also need to invest as much of your time as needed learning the SFI system.

- You need also to focus on the Training section which contains important topics for acquiring your marketing skills. You will need to dedicate your time in learning and applying all the knowledge that SFI provided for you.

- Furthermore disabled people can spread the word about their SFI business through various networking associations, partnering with other people with disabilities and pooling resources. They can also create marketing plans that help advertise their SFI business. Marketing should never be done in a haphazard way, but should instead be done through consistent, deliberate actions. This is the cornerstone of your SFI business that will help people with disabilities maximize their potential.

- They can also tap on other resources like disability business network in their community if available. Disabled organizations often produce seminars on the benefits of outreach, teaching business owners how to properly position themselves for success.

Building your downline is applying the core principle of SFI which is duplication. Therefore it is very important to adhere to this principle to be successful in your SFI business.

During the process of duplication, there are common pitfalls to avoid in building your downlines. Here are some of them:

- Never pressure your PSAs to place a Standing Order (SO). For new affiliates SFI has put a system in place in reminding them about SO.

- Don’t send unnecessary messages. Communication is important within your team but don’t bombard them. As a Team Leader, be an example to them and don’t teach your experience to your downlines all at once. Be creative, divide it in modules and make it simple.

- In expanding your downlines, it’s good to be passionate in leading your affiliates but be patient when the growth of your team seems to be slow. It might be that some people take time to understand and apply what you’re teaching to them. You need to be up-to-date in regards to knowledge base and skills of your affiliates.

- Don’t be discouraged when most of your downlines are inactive. Don’t let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do. You can’t force affiliates who just signed up and do nothing or affiliates who stopped logging in to follow you. You need to move on, look forward.

Are you willing to do what it takes to achieve your goals? Successful people have a high willingness to learn and do whatever it takes to be on the path of success.
