How to earn money at SFI: the rules of success: this is serious business

Success does not come automatically. There are rules for it. 
How can you be succesful at internet marketing? There are a number of rules for that. Underneath I am giving you two of them. 



The first rule is that you need to think of your business as a serious business. If you opened up a store, would you expect it to sell stuff if you don't open it and are running it and restocking and advertising and selling? Of course not. The same applies to SFI. Many affiliates who sign up think this is another Get Rich Quick scheme and treat it as such. If then after a couple of days they have logged in and are not yet starting to make any money they give up. But SFI is not another such scheme. It is a serious business and you need to treat it as such. Meaning you need to invest at least time and effort to make it work. SFI does not require you to invest money, and I know people who make it work without any investment, but seriously, at least a pack of business cards makes you look more professional when you approach people. You do not need to invest a lot of money, but if you are able to invest some dollars a month it will pay off much sooner. 

I myself have a standing order for TCredits which automatically makes me keep my EA rank every month and which I can use for bidding on the Penny auctions, for playing the online games, for rewarding my hard-working affiliates and even to buy products at TripleClicks. This costs $29. Wouldn't you be willing to invest that much in a business which hopefully will allow you to quit your job in the future? 

The rule that I apply myself most strictly is: Do at least something everyday to promote your business. Quoted from SFI:

What can you do daily? Here are just a few ideas:

• Follow up with recent prospects. 
• Send out some E-Cards. 
• Place a classified or other type of ad. 
• Send out some postcards. 
• Review the LaunchPad Lessons. 

• Review the Internet Income course.

• Send out a newsletter to your PSAs and your CSAs.

• Read an SFI training article you haven't read yet (or review one you have).

• Contact your sponsor, let him or her know what you're doing.

• Go to Google and search for articles on how to become a better marketer.

• Browse TripleClicks for new products you can recommend to your customers.

• Check the SFI News and SFI Power Tips blogs. 
• Review your Genealogy and TC 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 ECA database. 
• Review your "My Movers" report (on your SFI homepage). 
• Review "My Goals" (on your SFI homepage). 
• Review the latest posts on the SFI Forum. 

With any business that you start, you would do at least something every day to promote it. SFI is no different. 

Unlike many online programmes where you have to buy the markering stuff, SFI has hundreds of FREE marketing aids that you can use to promote your business. Here is one of them:

Here is what other people are saying: Testimonials! Have a look, it is entirely FREE.

Another free affiliate website is Wealthy Affiliate where I have just started but which I find very promising.
