SFI affiliate can change your life

The reason I joined SFI is not only to improve my living standard but being able to make a difference and impact other people’s lives. I believe that the entire network marketing industry is poised for explosive growth and can be one of the most significant solutions to every country’s current retirement savings crisis. 

The increasing numbers of baby boomers are disenchanted with their current careers. They’re worn-out from years of the corporate grind and don’t feel the connection between their job and the people it impacts outside their office walls or company grounds. They have a desire to be a part of something bigger and better… to have a positive effect on others… and working in retirement. This is a perfect situation for me to offer a helping hand through SFI. I would like them to be a part in impacting that change in their lives to see again a positive outlook of life, something to look forward to everyday by making them feel being a part of SFI family wherever they are. This one purpose has made a big change in my life. 

Many people don’t realize that SFI is one of the most successful network marketing companies in the world today. It provides the means to help people satisfy a number of important human needs, including feeling significant, having connections, learning something new, and making a difference. SFI Forum is the place to see all these becoming into reality. I have heard people say again and again, ‘I’m doing this because I’m meeting amazing people … making so many connections … and I feel so good about myself.’” For most people SFI has created a sense of belonging and impacted their lives. 

Besides my current job, I work hard with my SFI business every day. It’s rewarding because I found through my day to day engagement with my SFI business the difference in how I look about life. I feel very much connected to SFI community. I love helping other people starting their own SFI businesses. 

To sum it up: 

I’m a strong believer in having more than one stream of income. That’s why I have been in SFI since 2002. It allows me to stay home, work from home, and help others do the same thing. I do cherish the following invaluable benefits of having my own SFI business: 

- You get to be your own boss – there is nobody there to tell you when or where to work. That was one of the things that attracted me to SFI because I knew I could be in control of my own income. 

- You have flexibility – When you are your own boss, you are able to work as much or as little as you want. Lots of people build a business in their spare time or on the weekends. Some people work very part time because they are only interested in earning a little extra income. Then, there are those who are committed to being a professional network marketer and earning an unlimited income working from the comfort of their home. With SFI, the choice is yours! 

- You can be a Team Leader – I love to inspire others. SFI allows you the freedom to lead the way, and lock arms with those who wish to pursue financial, time and life freedom also. 

- It’s simple to build – Don’t get me wrong, it’s simple…but not necessarily easy. Thanks to the power of the Internet, you can run your SFI business virtually. You don’t have to “hit the pavement” or have one-on-one meetings to grow. This is still a people business. However, with technology it has become so much easier to connect with people globally! 

- You learn how to develop as an entrepreneur – In SFI, the atmosphere and the attitude of people through SFI Forum (the readiness to help one another) are very much encouraging which lead to building people strong spiritually and mentally. When you begin to learn how to think differently and understand what it takes to be successful, you start to manifest abundance in your life. Naturally, it spills over into your SFI business.

How to use SFI's hit tracking to make your promotions more effective.

My answer is going to be in two parts. Part one will be directed at "Hit Tracking" specifically and part two will be directed at "Campaign Tracking". My experience is that it's very important to understand how "Hit Tracking" fits into an overall campaign tracking system. 

____ Part One - Hit Tracking _

Hit tracking allows you to track the number of "suspects" that land on a particular "landing page" or "gateway page". However, until the "suspect" fills out a form and clicks submit they are NOT a "prospect" or lead. Hit tracking is useful in determining if your advertising and landing/gateway page are working together to produce an acceptable amount of "form fills" or prospects/leads. If you're seeing a high number of hits, but a low number of "form fills" or prospects/leads then something is wrong. Maybe your ad does not match well with landing/gateway page for example. You may also see a similar term called "bounce rate" which means that a "suspect" only looked at one page and then left the website. Use testing to increase your results.

__________________ Part Two - Campaign Tracking __________________ 

You can use paper, a spreadsheet or even a database to perform steps 1 to 5. You do NOT need a complicated system, but as you grow it would make your system a LOT easier to track if you used a computer based tool like a spreadsheet. 

IMPORTANT: All steps require you to track the advertising source of each lead. Use Key Code Tracking! 

1) Track the "per lead" cost from your advertising. Ad cost divided by total number of leads generated. 

2) Track the "per Affiliate" conversion cost from your advertising. Ad cost divided by total number of Affiliates converted from leads. 

3) Track the "per EA2" conversion cost of the Affiliates from your advertising. Ad cost divided by total number of EA2s generated from Affiliates. 

4) Advanced Metric: Track the EA2 "burn rate" from your advertising. This would be how long each lead stays active as an EA2 or above. This metric can be very important when you determine the demographics (countries and income levels) you want to target with your ads. 

5) Determine which leads within your "lead system" overall convert the best to EA2, based on 1 to 4, and then "scale up" what you did to generate and convert those leads. 

Hint: Use A/B split testing through every step of the advertising process! When using A/B split testing put 80% of your budget in your best ads and use the other 20% for testing purposes. A/B split testing = Always Be Testing! Google the term when you get a chance... 

SFI provides the tools you need to get started with your very own "lead system". However, for advanced Affiliates you may want to graduate to building and owning your own list. The basic steps are still the same except you would capture all leads on your own website and then market SFI directly to each prospect in whatever manner you see fit.

I'm aware that all of the above may sound complicated. However, I would encourage everyone that reads this response to copy this information for future reference. If you want to earn SERIOUS INCOME from your internet marketing business you're going to need a lead system. I can assure you that if you take things one step at a time you'll be a professional within a very reasonable period of time. See you at the top!
