When it comes to advertising, it is always best to market the right product to the right audience. So it is going to depend on where you are marketing. If you are marketing on your blog about the concept of transfer buying, then it will be useful to promote more than 1 product at a time. However, if you are marketing to a group of baby boomers, you wouldn't try to market the latest electronics to them, rather; you would market nutriceuticals or travel products to them. You need to know your audience. If you have a general audience then market the entire store. Most of your advertising should be targeted to a specific demographic about a product that interest that audience.

This is a great question. I can tell you that your team members will always get your emails if they are within guidelines and they white list
[email protected] and your email. Many members feel that team messages are only received by the affiliates are logged into the SFI affiliate center and this is not so. Mail is sent to the personal email address provided by the affiliate. So if they provide a valid email they will be getting messages. Without white listing, the messages will be sent to the spam folder.
So be sure to recommend to your affiliates to white list your email address and
[email protected]. Give them specific instructions how to do it if they say they have not received your emails. The stream is internal and chat is internal. Those messages one has to be logged in to receive. ECA updates as well require the affiliate to be logged in to see the update.

How can I use a PSA's Affiliate Profile to help him or her get off to a good start and become successful in SFI?

To help a PSA get off on the right start I highly recommend that you review the affiliate's profile with them. Be sure to ask clarifying questions as well as new questions about different aspects of the affiliates profile. This is effective because it shows your affiliate that you are in touch with their experience level and you are willing to guide them based on where they are. Building rapport goes a long ways to building an effective and active affiliate. Involvement is the key so don't leave your PSAs to their whits - guide them. Remember always to work with anyone that is willing to reach out to you and turn none of the others away because they delay action.

Why or why not should I promote Fast-Track 2.0 in my welcome letters to new affiliates? If yes, what wording should I add?
Williams Ford, Aff (Georgia, US)

Affiliate since: 07/02/2024, Power Rank: 99999999
You should definitely introduce your new PSAs to Fast Track 2.0. The reasons are obvious.
1. Helps them achieve their financial goals
2. Helps them achieve prestigious recognition which reinforces the determination of the PSA to stay the course. Success breeds more success.
3. Helps them to commit to their goals. This business boils down to commitment. Without it, your business is a dead stick.
4. Teaches them to duplicate their efforts and lead by example.
5. Helps them to place orders and learn how the ordering system works so they can explain it to others.
The only wording that is needed is: "Please review the advantages of the Fast Track 2.0 program found here: https://www.sfimg.com/FT" Allow the affiliate 3 days to review then follow up to see if they have questions. If not, they will decide to be Fast-Track qualified or not based on their goals. Continue to provide support as needed even if an affiliate decides not to take advantage of the program.

Many don't trust the internet because they don't understand how it works for good. So to answer your question the best way to overcome ignorance is with knowledge. Sometimes knowledge is gained by experience and other times it can be learned from mere observation.
You can always use the marketing resources provided at TripleClicks. But if the person is not receptive to such marketing aides then you must allow space for them to learn how having an ECA store on TripleClicks can explode their business. So you must gauge when the when the timing is right by observing verbal and nonverbal cues given by your prospect.
This said you can determine if your prospect is ready to take the next step to grow their customer base. For example you may ask, would you be interested in expanding the reach of your product offerings? Or you may ask do you have access to customers beyond your local market? There are a million and one questions you could ask but you need to ask open ending questions and discern when it is the right time to give an e-card or a flyer.
Always thank the prospect for their time and give them at least 3 gift cards and tell them that you appreciate them listening to you as you give them gift cards from your store. Tell them they can use them or give them to a close friend. Then leave. If they have questions they will contact you and if not don't worry about it. Keep prospecting!

The same way you engage in conversation with anyone else. You must be genuine. Don't make friends for the sake of what's in it for you. Make friends to be a friend. The same wholes true for networking with your affiliates.
You have to build liking and trust. You have establish that no matter what you are there for your team. When they have issues address them promptly. When they are silent don't you be silent if you want them to open up to you. You must get the conversation going.
Find out about them. What makes them tick. Find out what their SFI goals are and help them to achieve them by offering direction and guidance. Remember what it feels like to you to be ignored by your up line and don't ignore your down line.
Ultimately, you can only be friends with a lion as long as he doesn't attempt to eat you. Be bold and make the first step. If the lion growls back at you . . . he is communicating! I hope you next move is to run! Good luck.

How is SFI different or better than other affiliate programs?

SFI is very different from the average affiliate program. Strong Future International provide a real business opportunity. You can't really say that about most affiliate programs. By definition an affiliate program is one where members sale products on commission. Nonetheless, SFI allows it's members to sale their own merchandise or the merchandise of others. When you sale your own merchandise you sale it just as you would in a conventional setting. This is a for profit venture in every sense of the word - a mark up on the cost of goods sold. Moreover, you tap into the customer base which is about 2 million strong and growing.
However, other affiliate programs are just that purely affiliate programs where you sell products for a commission on the sales volume generated. Commissions range from 10% to 75%. Master resale rights products allow you to sell at 100% minus the cost of goods sold. Some don't even have a real product at all. You are paid for referrals for others.
In conclusion when a compensation plan is based on a merchandising model rather than just a pure matrix without a product the sustainability of the program long-term. There have been countless 100s of affiliate programs that come and go but SFI has been around since 1998 and will be for another 20 years at least. That's the difference. SFI is the real internet income program while the others are just a flash in the pan. I can think of no affiliate marketing company that even compares.

SFI has built up quite a knowledge base over the years for all things SFI. Therefore, there are many ways to bet answers to questions you have about SFI. Firsthand knowledge is going to serve you best so you should be able to use the sitemap, knowledge base, search feature, and the search feature at the forum. Each one of these tools have their own merit. For example, the search feature will search for known topics of interest by keywords. So the query results will match as closely as possible to what the user types in the search. Perhaps, a certain question has been asked repeatedly and when type in the search you will find the exact answer. Otherwise, you will be given an assortment of related topics based on the query terms.
Besides using your tools to find answers to questions, you can always use your human resources. Your sponsor, co-sponsor, upline, and support are accessible to you. If your sponsor has not been in SFI for a time, they may not have the answer you need so then you would go to your co-sponsor or upline leader. Since we work in a global business, people may not be available when it is convenient for you. Most sponsors will let you know the time frame to expect feedback to your concerns. Lastly, you can send a ticket support or turn to the forum for feedback. However, support handles 100s of requests and does so by order of receipt. The forum will most certainly get you feedback by sometimes the question is not address appropriately because some people speak of aspects that they don't fully understand.
