SFI MARKETING PLAN

1. COMPLETE SMART START
Go to: SFI Smart Start.    You will have to login first. It provides a very thorough description of how SFI works and YOU WILL ALSO EARN 5 Sales Volume Points (SVP).

2. UNDERSTAND THE SFI COMPENSATION PLAN (HOW YOU WILL MAKE MONEY).
Login first and review here: SFI Compensation Plan. Please read it several times until you completely understand it so that you can explain it to your members when they join.

3. BECOME "MULTI-INCOME QUALIFIED" (MIQ)
If you understand the SFI compensation plan, then you know why you need to become MIQ. One of the biggest advantages of becoming MIQ is that you will earn income FOUR ways, instead of just one. For MULTI-INCOME Qualification, you simply need to generate at least 10 Sales Volume Points (SVP) each month. The most economical way to become MIQ is to become a member of the International Association of Home Business Entrepreneurs (IAHBE) . Why is IAHBE the best choice? THIS IS CRITICAL!
If you want to earn income FOUR ways, get MIQ today. RECRUIT ONLY 3 AND IT'S FREE! Each month your are MIQ, you will "bank" a Powerline Team Leader share of ~$30. After you recruit just 3 MIQ affiliates on your team, you will advance to a Powerline Team Leader. Then you can cash out your banked shares for every consecutive month you remain MIQ... plus you earn commissions for selling the products.
It's up to you how long it will take, because your monthly MIQ investment will be almost be completely reimbursed to you, when you become a PTL. Depending on how much the PTL pool is for that month.


I would recommend placing a Standing Order, so you don't forget one month to become MIQ. And you'll continue to accumulate banked shares in the PTL pool.

There are many other products that will result in MIQ status. Login to your main SFI site. Using your affiliate ID# and password.
Once you're logged in, look on the left hand side of the page, click on Affiliate Store.
Then simply click on the 10 SVP Favorites department. And select what you would prefer to become MIQ.

4. GENERATE EASY LEADS
One of the easiest ways to recruit prospects is through OPT-IN leads (people that are interested in owning their own home business).
Below are the top 2 methods for optaining quality leads:
1) SFIs own lead generating system - EAGLE Co-Op

Each share of the Eagle Co-Op that you purchase will add up to 25 new Affiliates to your Powerline. Purchase as many as you can afford each month. To participate Login to your main SFI site. Use your SFI assigned affiliate ID# and password.
Once you're logged in, look on the left hand side of the page, click on Resources.
Then simply click on the Eagle Co-Op department, and follow the simple instructions.

2) I prefer getting affiliates from Imad Hamdan, our Group Leaders Co-Op. The E-Mastersteam Co-Op provides confirmed SFI affiliates! NOT just leads, and NOT prospects... but TRIPLE opt in affiliates.
In what ever quantities will result in your becoming an online success. I could not have succeeded online without Imad's Co-Op.
5. GET AN EMAIL AUTORESPONDER
Following up with your leads is probably the most important aspect of running your business. Email autoresponders make this task simple and effective. When you receive leads from your marketing efforts, you must stay in contact with them. The easiest way is to have your leads included in a simple follow-up system that allows you to automatically send welcome email, follow-up email, and email to inspire your leads to succeed with your home business.
I highly recommend ISO Register. They provide unlimited autoresponders (you may have a separate email autoresponder account for your prospects, free affiliates, upgrade affiliates, and/or any other business you may be involved with). This autoresponder system is the easiest to set up. In addition, they provide a multitude of resources to help you succeed with any and all of your online opportunities.
Or you could get a free autoresponder with no adverts, from freeautobot.com Either one works well.


6. FORWARD YOUR SFI GATEWAY URL(s) TO YOUR OWN DOMAIN NAME
When you join SFI, you are provided with about 15 different affiliate web site URLs (Gateways) that include your affiliate ID for tracking your commissions and referrals. Example of one of my URLs (Gateways) looks like:
http://www.ezinfocenter.com/5377450/Free
To view your Gateways, login in to the main SFI area at http://www.sfimg.com.  Then click on My Account and then click on View/Edit Gateway. The different URLs are yours. To be used to promote the many different products that SFI provides.
After you are familiar with your Gateways, purchase your own domain name, from yourself, at your Great Domania(GD) gateway website.

Then simply FORWARD your SFI affiliate URL to your very own root domain name. VERY EASY...they show you how once you've registered your domain name. WHY FORWARD YOUR GATEWAY URLs?   When you start marketing your business with search engines, classified ads, ezines (online magazines), etc., you will notice millions of affiliate URLs that are being advertised. Long affiliate URLs are not remembered, and do not get high rankings on search engines. Most search engines will immediately "throw out" affiliate URLs. Redirect URLs help significantly.

In time, you will learn that having your very own domain AND web site is the best way to go.

7. BUILD YOUR OWN WEB SITE...IT'S EASIER THAN YOU THINK

8. SET UP A FREE BROWSER START PAGE PROGRAM.
This is simple, free, and will bring your site hits. ALL you do is modify the startup page of your browser. Each time you then start your browser, you will automatically visit a member's web site. For every 2 browser startups your web site will receive 1 visitor back! That is a 50% conversion rate. Costing you absolutely nothing. I recommend E-biz Rotator.

9. UTILIZE SFIs MARKETING RESOURCES
When you start submitting to search engines, classifieds ads, ezines, etc.,  use SFI's proven marketing resources (banners and text ads) located at
SFI Team Resource Center. Another excellent marketing resource is SFI's own training site More good stuff there too.

10. SUBMIT YOUR BUSINESS TO AS MANY RESOURCES AS POSSIBLE.
DMOZ Business Opportunity Directory (DMOZ is the engine for MSN, AOL, and many other top search engines)
INeedHits
Google
AltaVista
GigaBlast
AlltheWeb
EntireWeb
Jayde
ExactSeek
TotalAd
Aeiwi
SearchIt
Subjex

Search on Yahoo or Google for thousands more free search engine submittals.

The following are Paid Inclusions into the Top search engines on the Internet (Reach Millions)

Excite.com Besides Excite, your site will be listed on NBC, Verizon, Dogpile, Webcrawler, and more.

GUARANTEED 48 hour inclusion to Altavista, HotBot, Inktomi, Looksmart, MSN, whatUseek, WebWombat, Slider, Corporate Yahoo and other search engines.

Yahoo (When your SFI income starts rolling in, I highly recommend listing your site with Yahoo. Cost: $299 per year. If you decide to do this, make sure you have your own domain name and web site.)
NOTE: The above search engines are the most popular. But they will not ad your site if it is an affiliate URL (http://www.ezinfocenter.com/5377450/free) and some will not ad your site if it is a redirect URL. Hence, the reason it is best to have your own web site and domain name in order to get the best search engine rankings.
IMPORTANT: Submit to classifieds once a week and search engines once a month. If you submit more often, some engines will ban your site as they consider too many submittals as spam.

11. PAY PER CLICK/PAY PER RANKING SEARCH ENGINES.
Pay Per Ranking search engine placement is one of the most powerful marketing tools available today. It offers small businesses a chance to have their web sites ranked as high as the big businesses. This service has grown significantly in the past couple of years. To make it an affordable, cost-effective marketing tool, you have to follow some simple guidelines. You can start with a small investment of only $25--I usually get up to 30 affiliates per $25 spent. It is a simple process of paying only when somebody clicks on the web site URL that you list. The $25 goes towards this. You bid on keywords and pay your bid price ONLY when your site is clicked.

Below is a 15-step list of instructions for using 7Search, the pay per ranking search engine that, in my opinion, is the best and easiest to use:
1). Open an account at:   7Search.

2.) Click the 'Registration' link near the top of the 7search page.

3.) Enter one of your redirected domains or SFI gateway web sites URL where it asked you.
Note: It doesn't matter if you use an affiliate URL or root domain URL here because you are paying for your ranking.

4.) Click the 'Submit URL' link.

5.) Complete the registration and payment information (start with at least the minimum of only $25).

6.) Confirm your registration via email, then login as an Advertiser with your chosen ID and password.

7.) You should now be at the Advertiser Main Menu.

8.) Now you'll need to add keywords. Click the 'Add/Modify Keyword Bids' button towards the bottom.

9.) Then click the 'Click Here to add relevant keywords'.

10.) Then click 'For easy submission of multiple keywords, click here'

11.) In this form, list as many keywords that are associated with home business as you can think of (i.e., work at home, make money, home business opportunity, etc.)
TIP:  You are welcome to use the keywords listed HERE. Cut and paste them into the 7search multiple keyword submission form.

12.) Don't change the .01 per bid option, you can change your bid amounts after you enter all the keywords. The reason for this is because you want to be selective of which keywords are the best to bid more.

13.) I would only add about 1000 at a time, or it may take a long time. You can even go lower at a time if you feel more comfortable.

14.) After you have added and/or copied many keywords, go back and raise a few of the bids to no more than $.05. You will see where your site ranks as determined by the amount you bid. If you bid too high, your money goes quickly. You will get sign-ups, but the return on investment is not as good. The key is to list thousands of keywords so you will get more hits and pay a minimal amount. (Example: it would cost about $1.50 to be ranked #1 for the keyword "work at home". This would result in only 15 or 20 hits for your minimal deposit of $25....definitely not cost effective. On the other hand, you can get 2500 hits at $0.01 bids, it just takes longer to get the hits).

15.) After you feel comfortable with this, you may add additional SFI gateway URLs/redirect URLs like the DSL gateway, Veriuni Gateway, etc. and add keywords associated with each URL.
OTHER TOP PAY PER CLICK SEARCH ENGINES:

Overture You will appear on the top of search results of leading sites like Yahoo!, Lycos and MSN

Ah-Ha - Free incentives and great banner ad campaigns.

Kanoodle - $5 worth of clicks for free.

LifeTips - New and accepts affiliate program URLs.

Google Adwords - Excellent program from Google. You must have your own website...and takes a challenge to get approved.

12. PURCHASE EVERYTHING YOU CAN FROM "YOUR OWN SFI STORE" (ESPECIALLY THINGS YOU ALREADY PURCHASE)
It only makes sense to buy from your OWN business rather than competitors. The more SFI products and services you buy, the more money is added to your commissions and the powerline pools. Go to  http://www.sfimg.com  and log in to view and/or purchase the products and services you may already be buying... and maybe find some new items at a better price. More are added every day so check back often.
Examples:
I'm sure that you spend money on many of the items listed above, so why not earn commissions and purchase them from your own business?  All this can be found at http://www.sfimg.com. As soon as you log in.

13. RECOMMEND THIS PLAN TO ALL YOUR REFERRALS
When you refer a new affiliate to SFI, whether it is from the Eagle Co-Op or from your own advertising, you will receive an email notification from SFI with the new affiliates email address. EMAIL THESE AFFILIATES, welcoming them to SFI. Then suggest this plan so they can get started immediately. Simply send them to SFI Marketing Plan.

TIP:  As you become more experienced with SFI, you can develop your own plan and provide tips and resources that have worked for you.

14. HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PAID ADVERTISING
Included here are affordable advertising options that have worked great for me.
15. HAVE PATIENCE AND PERSISTENCE
Assuming that your goal is to make money working from the comfort of your home, there are a few things to keep in mind that may help you stay focused, enthusiastic, and motivated. There are no "easy get rich quick" opportunities. Any business that claims this is lying. SFI has the tools, experience, and longjevity that will result in a financial secure future for anybody that wants it...but it takes time, effort, a minimal investment, and above all....PATIENCE AND PERSISTENCE!

This type of business was not taught in school. I learned it the hard way...thousands of hours of trial and error trying out hundreds of "so-called" money-making opportunities. Fortunately, you have joined SFI under a Team Leader that is experienced and extremely determined to make a "Six Figure Income". With this in mind, I will provide my affiliates with every detail and secret that has proven successful for me. I WANT TO BE YOUR MENTOR! If you have the same desires, please follow the above plan exactly as stated, E-mail me if you get stuck, and support your referrals as I hope I am supporting you.

To YOUR Success!!
