Why You Need Email Capture and Auto-responder on Your Blog

YES, you can set up an email capture and auto-responder on your blog. I am inclined to believe you have a blog already which is designed to bring traffic to your site. Your lead capture page is the best place for your email capture feature. Your auto-responder is designed to automatically send out pre-designed messages to your site visitors through the emails your site has captured from your site visitors. 

 
Since you can’t be online 24 hours/day, your auto-responder fills in for you when you are not online. That way, your business can be effectively open 24/7 with excellent results. Just as affiliates differ from one another, their goals, strategies and objectives in SFI also differ. That is why it is very difficult to say exactly what you can put in the series. Suffice it to say however, that you are involved in online marketing of your business just like every other affiliate in SFI. That is what determines what gets into your campaign. A few of the following examples will suffice for the sake of the second part of your question. You can have several email messages that aim to promote:

1. Becoming SFI affiliate.
2. Membership of TripleClicks.
3. Becoming ECA.
4. Becoming a member of WAVE 3.
5. Advertising specific products at TripleClicks.
6. Inviting participants to Pricebenders auctions.
7. Inviting participants to Eager Zebra games.
8. Advertising personal testimonies of satisfied SFI affiliates.
9. Advertising SFI weekly news bulletins.
10. Advertising SFI blog.

People who read all these emails could be converted to be your business partners as in PSAs or TripleClicks customers. Either way, your SFI business is better for it.

 

Happy marketing!!!

What Affiliates Struggle with Most in SFI

From my experience in SFI, the one thing affiliates struggle with most, is DUPLICATION particularly about getting serious and active affiliates. Since it appears to be a business-wide problem, everyone is grappling with it the way they deem fit. On my part, I always insist on the following to my affiliates.

1. Be very familiar with SFI awesome sponsor tips and use them as recommended.
2. Do not fail to regularly communicate with your affiliates.
3. Encourage and motivate them to keep sponsoring even if they are not getting serious and active affiliates.
4. Promote your SFI Gateways widely and intensely to recruit new affiliates.
5. Never fail to welcome your new affiliates when they join your team.
6. Follow that up always with “welcome to my team” cards.
7. Share your progress in the business with your affiliates.
8. Appreciate the modest achievements they have in the business and reward them if you can afford to.
9. Remember and identify with their anniversaries and congratulate them.
10. Encourage them to ask you questions and help them with good answers and references.
11. Take your affiliates as business partners and relate with them as such.
12. Encourage them to read widely in SFI and to imbibe all the business lessons.
13. Encourage them to join the various forums and to participate actively.
14. Advise them to have fun with the Trivia Games and the Auctions.

The foregoing are the things I do and recommend to my affiliates which I believe if done properly can help to alleviate the duplication problems we all face.
