How Best to Use E-Cards in SFI Business

As gleaned from SFI archives, basically, E-Cards program is a program for sending full-color digital postcards to friends and family. SFI provides many designs to choose from. There are cards promoting the SFI business opportunity and there are cards promoting various SFI products. After choosing a design, you can then add your own personal message. It will also automatically insert a link to the appropriate SFI Gateway Website (so that you are credited with the referrals). Once you click “send”, your postcard gets sent to anyone of your choice. They are very cheap and highly cost-effective because they are FREE to use. You get to spend no money that is.

The other major benefit of using E-Cards also means that SFI will do the "heavy lifting" (the selling) for you. There's no need to know every little detail about SFI or the product you're letting your recipients know about. Simply choose a card, add a short friendly little message, and send it. The full-color card and the Gateway URL included with it can take it from there! Selling can’t get any better than that particularly for marketers who are too shy to meet people one-on-one. With E-cards, your new affiliates can get started immediately promoting their business for free. They need only grab the e-mail addresses of their "warm market" and start sending out E-Cards.

PLUS...if you're sponsoring SFI affiliates, you'll also be happy to know that E-Cards provide an incredible value to your brand new team members. Your new personally sponsored affiliates are often very motivated to learn how to get started, but many are operating on a very small budget and cannot afford to invest in promotion or advertising for their products. E-cards come in very handy for such affiliates. 

When you have mastered the use of E-cards yourself, you can get your team members to do as you have been doing if they want to get the results you have been getting. 

WARNING! Do not introduce your team members to E-cards if you do not know how they work and how to use them. The reason for this warning is rather obvious. 

 

 

How SFI Relates with TripleClicks and Auctions

The best way to take on this topic is to draw from our knowledge base as garnered in SFI business. We are at liberty to explain to new affiliates that TripleClicks.com is one of the fastest growing and most popular e-commerce sites on the Web today. With more than 116,000 products (and hundreds of new products being added weekly), TripleClicks has something for everyone, and that makes online sales both lucrative and fun! Tell any prospect that TripleClicks partners with thousands of companies from all over the world to do business online and offline and everyone involved gets to make money as a result. 


 
New affiliates should know that TripleClicks is the e-commerce engine room of SFI. That is the main reason why if TripleClicks is popular, it simply means:

1. It becomes easier sponsoring SFI affiliates.
2. It makes Easier referrals of TripleClicks members.
3. More and better ECAs get registered.
4. More products & services become available.
5. Better prices come on stream.
6. Lower shipping costs come on stream.
7. and lots MORE benefits.

Explain further that as an SFI affiliate especially when it comes to products you're ALREADY buying, it makes more economic sense to buy from your store (i.e. TripleClicks) than any other store. This is more so when TripleClicks probably carries many products and/or services that you ALREADY purchase from a local store or other service providers. It makes sense to transfer those purchases to YOUR store? You can even eliminate or significantly reduce shipping charges by shopping via local TC E-Commerce Associates (ECAs) in your own country, region, or city. In some cases, you can pick up the products right from these merchants' local retail outlets thereby eliminating shipping fees altogether. Remember, we're not talking about spending extra money, just changing from where you're buying. That’s all. 


 
Tell your new affiliate that PRICEBENDERS Penny Auctions allow you to bid on and win hot, name brand products for a fraction of the retail price (typically more than 90% off)! That every auction starts at just one cent, with the price going up by just one cent more for each bid placed. The result is usually a jaw-dropping low price! You could win very many auctions along the way with complimentary Member Reward Points which go a long way to help your SFI business among many other benefits some intangible. These are easy explanations which I believe a new affiliate can easily understand and take action on.

How Newbies Can Help Newbies in SFI Business

Permit to take on this topic with a real time truism in SFI business. “Nobody knows everything in SFI business.” Even the founder, Mr. Gerry Carson himself admits that much. Having said that, be informed that even if you are new in online marketing, you are not alone. Very many other affiliates are new to online marketing too. We are all still learning this business day in day out. Even if you do not know how but know where to refer your PSA where he can get valuable information to help him, you are doing great. Therefore, even if you are new in online marketing, you can refer the PSA to many specific areas in SFI for guidance and encourage him to be honest and diligent with the information therein. All the information is accessible in every affiliate’s Home Page. Just advise your PSA as follows:

1. To learn the basics of the business, use SFI BASICS.
2. For a detailed 30 day lessons, use the LAUNCHPAD.
3. Use the FORUMS to interact with fellow affiliates.
4. Join a2a for the purpose of interaction and networking.
5. For information and articles on Sales, Sponsoring, Getting Started etc, use the TRAINING PAGE.
6. Access real valuable information at the ASK SC forum.
7. Lastly, encourage your PSA not to shy away from the following:
- seek help when in doubt.
- read very far and wide in SFI.
- rely and depend on fellow affiliates to make progress.
- be honest and diligent in the business.
- be open to continuous learning.
- allow others to inspire you.

If you are able to use this advice as given above, I believe even if you are new in SFI business and new to online marketing, you can successfully help a new PSA who needs guidance. Good luck!!!
