Do Something to Grow Your SFI Business Every Day

Let me share with you, SFI's latest weekly time-tested tip. You will not create a successful business by thinking about it. You will create a successful business ONLY by DOING...by TAKING ACTION every day. Every day, no matter what, make sure you're doing SOMETHING to further your business. If you're not, you're not even in the game, you're kidding yourself. No business becomes successful without daily focus and action.

What can you do daily? Here are just a few ideas:
• Follow up with recent prospective members.
• Review your SFI Building Blocks every day (see your SFI homepage).
• Send out some E-Cards.
• Try out a new SFI Marketing Aid.
• Send out some postcards.
• Review the LaunchPad Lessons.
• Read the latest ecommerce articles at ECommergy.com.
• Send out a newsletter to your PSAs.
• Read an SFI training article you haven't read yet (or review one you have).

• Contact your sponsor, and let him or her know what you're doing.
• Go to Google and search for articles on how to become a better marketer.
• Browse the Zing Network for new products and services you can recommend to your customers.
• Review the latest posts on the SFI Forum.
• Review your Genealogy and Member List.
• Review the Hit Tracker page to maximize your marketing efforts.
• Start a co-op and invite your PSAs to join.
• Add some prospects to your Rewardical ECA database.
• Review your "My Movers" report (on your BUILD Building Block).

TIP: Don't forget to use your SFI Power Tools! Put the power of key codes, hit tracking, your own advertising co-op, the PSA Mailer, the CSA Mailer, reassignments, and more to work for your business. To not use these best-of-the-best tools is to operate your SFI business with two arms tied behind your back!

Introduction to Internet Sales in SFI

If you become an SFI Affiliate, you’re partnered with one of the fastest growing and most popular e-commerce platforms on the Web today, the Zing Network. As discussed in more details at the LaunchPad Lessons, Zing sites such as TripleClicks.com, Rewardical.com, and Flexxity.com offer tens of thousands of products and services in a variety of categories from trusted sellers, merchants, and providers around the world. Astro Auctions, Pricebenders, and Eager Zebra Games offer members fun, excitement, and cool prizes. And ECommergy helps online entrepreneurs around the world become ecommerce pros and achieve success. At Zing, there's truly something for everyone—and that makes online selling both lucrative and fun!

But what if you're not a natural salesperson? What if you don’t have any experience in advertising on the Internet?

Welcome to SFI

Here, you’ll learn everything you need to know! In fact, you're already off to a good start just by reading these LaunchPad lessons. Perhaps the most surprising thing you'll learn is that it's really pretty easy to get started marketing your business right away...

A basic marketing method:

Simply point your potential customers to one of your Zing Network property Gateway links—embedded with your SFI Affiliate ID—as shown below:
    • TripleClicks Main Page
    https://www.tripleclicks.com/12177280
  • Rewardical
    https://www.sfi4.com/12177280/rwgw
    • ECommergy
    https://www.sfi4.com/12177280/ec
    • Astro Auctions
    https://www.sfi4.com/12177280/Astro
    • Eager Zebra
    https://www.tripleclicks.com/12177280/EagerZebra

These Gateways will introduce your prospective members to the given property you've chosen to promote. Any prospective customer who signs up (for free) is automatically registered as your own Personally Referred Member (PRM), and you will earn commissions whenever they make a qualified purchase at any Zing Network site...for life!

Another easy marketing method:

If you'd like a more targeted approach, try promoting a specific product to your audience.
For example:

    1. After logging into TripleClicks.com, click the SHOP option at the top of the page, and browse the store's product listings for one you think your potential customers would like.

    2. On that product's details page, click the SFI Toolbox button for a special "Promote this listing" link that includes your SFI ID number so you’re credited with commissions earned from any sales. Just copy and paste that link in your emails, social media posts, etc. You can also click the Create Banner link for a product banner you can use on your blog or third-party websites. NOTE: You can learn more about the SFI Toolbox in this lesson.

    3. Each time someone clicks your link (or banner) and signs up for free, they automatically become your Personally Referred Member (PRM). And when they purchase the product—and EVERY TIME thereafter that they purchase ANY qualified product at any Zing site—YOU earn a Commission!
What's more, your work is now done! SFI takes care of processing your PRM's payment, fulfills the order, sends the product directly to your customer—all at no cost to you! And, of course, they email you each time you make a sale so you always know how much you've earned.

Best wishes and happy marketing!

How E365 Entrepreneur Challenge Works

E365 is a challenge in which you compete with every other SFI affiliate who joined SFI the same day you did. The idea is to outlast them all and, on your 365th day in SFI, be named the champion of your class—an Entrepreneur365 Champion! As an E365 Champion, you'll receive special corporate recognition, income-boosting CSAs every month from the CSA Rewards program, a spot on the E365 "hall of fame" Website, bragging rights, and a handsome plaque for your office wall (shown at right) to commemorate your achievement, and more. And, along the way, you will have the opportunity to win thousands Rewardical Tokens you can exchange for a variety of goodies.

To be named the Entrepreneur365 Champion of your class, you'll simply need to accumulate the most VP in your class by the end of your 365th day. For each of your days as an E365 contestant ("Challenger"), you'll also have the opportunity to win up to 500 Rewardical Tokens in our E365 Daily Drawing. Drawings are daily random drawings for all qualified contestants from your class and all other classes still within their first 365 days in SFI. 


 
E365 also features a MONTHLY contest with even more recognition and prize. That is, during each month of the year-long contest, you can earn special recognition as the monthly VersaPoints champion for your class by having the most VP for the month.

IMPORTANT! To be eligible for the daily or monthly drawings, you must hold the minimum SFI rank of EA (Executive Affiliate). Tip: You can make this automatic by setting up a 1500 VP auto-delivery order.  Note that if you're in your first month and do not collect 1500 VP by the end of the month, you can transfer all of your VP to the subsequent month.
