How to Use Other Peoples' Money to Finance Your Advertising

		Monday, 23 February 09 - 03:16 PM (GMT +03:00) By Anthony J Namata in SFI Tools

Piggyback advertising, in my personal experience, is the smartest way to brand, promote, and advertise your business without spending a dime of your own money! Sounds incredible? Well let me show you how the most AMAZING system that practically guarantees free advertising, works.

Piggyback advertising, otherwise known as tie-in promotion, is something I've done in the past ... in the travel industry, and in the music industry. So, I do have firsthand experience with this sort of marketing...which I now want to introduce to my network marketing business. I don't want to keep you in suspense any-longer. So here we go.

I wrote to a good friend of mine who will be printing my fliers, and my proposal to him is reproduced hereunder for YOUR benefit...just so you can see how this Joint Venture is created. Read it to get the full picture.

=====LETTER BEGINS======

Hi,

I have a brilliant idea!

I’m sure there are businesses out there that would gladly pay for a good flyer distribution service. You could be the man!

Here’s how it works…

• Make money printing and distributing flyers for customers. It's dead easy when you commission network marketers to distribute the fliers for you. How? They (network marketers) print their ad on one side, and in the reverse, a local business places an ad and PAYS for print job.
  
• Always print double-sided flyers. One side will have an SFI (TripleClicks) ad, and the other side will have your customer’s ad.

• The SFI affiliate gets their flyers for free, your customer pays to have it printed, but the SFI affiliate does the leg work (they distribute the flyers).  

• Why this is a sure fire way to ensure that flyers are put out? Because the distributor is actually promoting their own business at the same time (far more reliable than hiring someone to do the distribution).

• Add an incentive like a 20% discount off the cost of producing the flyers and GIVE that to the SFI affiliate as a pay package (or commission) for doing the work. They will, of course, earn from SFI as well in the long term, but more importantly for the short-term this gives them the immediate liquid cash to live on while they work their business. There are so many unemployed college students around (and people needing an extra income right now), this would be PERFECT for them.

• So: customer pays the full whack, and you give a 20% kickback to the distributor. It’s a win win. Affiliates, too, can go out and find YOU customers while they’re out and about because THEY have a vested interest! Can you imagine how many customers you can get when hundreds of people are promoting your printing business?

Let me know what you think.

Sincerely,

Tony

======LETTER ENDS======

Well my printer buddy, sure enough, did get back to me. He is very much interested! So as we speak, the first print run -- which I will use to promote my TripleClicks business and HIS all new printing and distribution service on the flip side -- is being prepared. Everybody's happy!

And so I went back to my friend with the following message...to kick-start our new deal.

Hi,

I'm attaching the A5 flier to print. Note it has two fliers on one A4, so we basically get double the mileage (two fliers off one plate) ... and with your ad on the flip side. I've composed a rough ad wording for you below [just improve on the layout and fill in your contact details and you should be good to go...]

Guys, that pretty much wraps up my article on How to Use Other Peoples' Money to Finance Your Advertising. I do hope you've picked up this concept. If you didn't, read it again. And if you have any questions, just leave a comment right here and I'll get back to you. I also recommend that you read How to Get Customers to Call, Buy and Beg for MORE! by ken Varga. It has some truly remarkable tips on how to use other peoples' money to finance your advertising...and a heck of a lot more.

For those of you on my SFI  Marketing Group team, as you can see, I have everything in place to get you started. Therefore, if you want to do this, please contact me as soon as possible. I'm here to help.

How to Find Deals for Pennies On the Dollar Online

		Wednesday, 07 January 09 - 08:33 AM (GMT +03:00) By Anthony J Namata in SFI Tools

The new SFI superstore, TripleClicks, has arrived. I have waited with baited breath for this, and now it's here. It arrived on the 5th Of Jan 2009 at 11am CST (8pm where I live), and I was there waiting. What can I say, Gery Carson and his team have surpassed themselves, yet again. I simply LOVE the new store. I like the feel of it, I'm totally crazy about the concept. It debuts with 6,000 listed products, and Private Sellers like you and I may list our own (used) stuff alongside brand new products on TripleClicks. This shop is for EVERYONE!

I've spent the past 48 hours familiarizing with the store and getting to know it better. This online store is going to change a lot of peoples' lives. I can feel it. I am now having to rework my e-Class training modules (for my affiliates) to accommodate the new store. As a matter of fact, this renders the previous training schedule obsolete. I've got my work cut out for me! But I will TREMENDOUSLY enjoy this. I know that. Because it is soooo easy to make money with this, and even EASIER to show people HOW to do it. I love it! On that note, I'm going to have to quote Gery on this, he said -- and this hit the nail on the head in the true sense of the word for me -- he said...

Our second major objective was to dramatically simplify the overall SFI system, which we aggressively addressed on numerous fronts. Our surveying of new affiliates has continued to show that SFI is still too complicated for the large majority. It needs to be much simpler...and so it will be!

Of course, achieving these two objectives has meant that a number of other important objectives would also be realized!

For example, when you plug thousands of hot, new preoducts into a compensation plan, the comp plan suddenly starts paying out much better (especially when it's been carefully tweaked to dovetail with the rest of the system changes we have implemented--more on this in a moment).

There's also no doubt that the new store and the way it's been integrated into the system is going to pay dividends in the form of higher upgrade rates and, quite likely, huge growth in retail sales. Exciting stuff!

We also have added a substantial amount of additional "internationalization" to SFI. SFI represents, after all, a truly global marketing force, and we fully intend to be THE biggest of them all.

But these are just a few of the many, many improvements that SFI 3.0 delivers. Let's now dive into the juicy details!

So folks, what can say. You've heard it from the horses mouth. I know one thing is for sure. I'm going to make an absolute FORTUNE on this online superstore myself -- with or without a downline -- but will be here to support those on my team who WANT to make money. I will be busy. Very busy. I don't think I'll even have time for myself ... that's how busy I intend to be. However, I will do my best to help anyone and everyone who wants to make this work and is willing to put in the time and effort it takes to make it work. That's all I have to say at this point. The store is here, the money is there if you want it.

I shall be posting regularly on this, because I do realize one needs to lead by example, yes?

Catch you later folks!

How to Not Treat SFI Like a Money Game

		Tuesday, 09 December 08 - 09:46 PM (GMT +03:00) By Anthony J Namata in SFI Tools

A common tendency with SFI affiliates is to treat SFI like a money game. Don't! Because it isn't. With the new SFI superstore opening next month I thought it would be prudent to point this out just to clear up any misconceptions you may have about SFI. SFI is a business opportunity just like any other and I will tell you why in a moment. 

Going executive affiliate is not about PAYING to go EA for the sake of going EA. It is about getting active with the business. I've seen folks go EA -- via IAHBE -- and then drop out. Now I'm going to tell you WHY they drop out ... because they don't see the money. They THINK that when you go EA, suddenly you're gonna get these HUGE paychecks and quit your day job the next day. It doesn't work like that.

Staying with this example, the International Association Of Home Business Entrepreneurs (IAHBE) is a resource center. You find information on the site. Information is power. Now I'll tell you my story...

I am an IAHBE member on standing order. It is renewed automatically off my SFI Cash Card. My homepage [on my computer] is iahbe.org. If there's anything new, I want to be the first to know every time I go online.

So, wanna know HOW I benefit from IAHBE?

It helps me stay on top of Internet marketing trends and I use my knowledge to help businesses in the USA and Canada - mainly, market their businesses online. I am HIRED to do this. WHY? because I know my stuff. Thanks to IAHBE.

Will I ever cancel my membership? No. Absolutely not. Because being an IAHBE member earns me good money... because it gives me information I can SELL to my clients. Basically. The last time I checked, people invest time and money in education. That's exactly what I'm doing with the IAHBE. Am I making any sense?

I am going to give you another example...

I have discovered that there is a huge demand for African American magazines like Ebony, Jet and Right On! in Africa. I'm currently ordering these magazines from the SFI affiliate store to sell on in Africa. Now here's the crunch, to expand my distribution, I am teaching my downline how to do it.  

How does this benefit me?

At the end of the day, I can't be everywhere at one and the same time. Hence, when my team is working the business distributing these magazines, I will be earning something from their work. And this applies to you too. This is why I encourage you to RECRUIT new affiliates all the time... because through THEM you can easily have branches of your business EVERYWHERE. Through them. I hope this example helps you see SFI differently.

SFI Team Support - You Really Need to Think Of SFI As A Shop!

		Thursday, 13 November 08 - 10:36 PM (GMT +03:00) By Anthony J Namata in SFI Tools

I get people asking me all the time ... what exactly is SFI? There are a lot of misconceptions about this, and I really would like to clear this up for you right here and now. You really need to think of SFI as a shop ... because that's what it is. And then you need to think: 'what is it I can sell to make money?'; And then you need to think, 'how about if I open a few more branches of my store around the world' ... that's what recruiting new affiliates into your business does for you, and that's it! The rest is easy. Focus on -- first, YOU making money through retail, and then SHOW your downlines how to do exactly what you're doing. How hard can that be?

I will admit, I myself do not focus on retail -- not entirely, my focus is on building a team - mainly. But in order to show my people how to work the retail business, I will venture out into retail and report back my exact formula to them. This is about sharing. OK. I'm done with this. I just had to get it out of my system.

Next topic: I've made a slight change to the title of my latest eBook. It kinda hit me while I was reading earlier this evening. How to Turn a 1000% Profit On Ebony Magazine (you know the previous title). Well that's all changed now on the eBook and whatever campaign goes out from now on. I've been working on the full article -- which will be going out on HubPages tomorrow. It is looking really good. But I know it will want a tweak or two by tomorrow (always the perfectionist).

SFI Team Support Network Bulletin

		Friday, 26 September 08 - 07:51 PM (GMT +03:00) By Anthony J Namata in SFI Tools

Team SFI,

Today, I officially launch the SFI Team Support Network Bulletin. This is where you can stay on top of what's happening. In case this gets buried down my blog (and it will) just click on SFI Tools off the menu (labeled Features).

OK. Let's get started. I will begin by recapping  on a recent email message sent via the company mailer.

THE GOOD NEWS for Tanzania Affiliates is that the new CRDB Tembo Card Visa is now accepted online! This means, you can now purchase products from SFI using this new debit card regardless of whether you hold a Tanzania Shilling or US dollar account with the bank. But please note that only the NEW CRDB cards work! So please get more info – and the new card itself from the bank - that's if you don’t already have one. And obviously, if you don’t already have an account with CRDB maybe now you should. It can only help you grow your business as it will be easier and more convenient for you to transact online.

For affiliates elsewhere in the world where SFI doesn’t accept credit cards from (or if you don’t have a credit card), please read my eBook How to Buy SFI by Western Union. It is now available for download right here on this blog. Click on SFI Tools off the menu (labeled Features).

Team Co-op Was Launched 26th Aug 2008 - Just a quick note to let you know that all Executive Affiliates (EAs) on my team are being continuously added to my new ad co-op rotation and are now receiving new SFI affiliate sign-ups in their first generation downline. But please do let me know as soon as you become an EA so that I may expedite your inclusion. Help me help you. Please .

And one more thing, put out those flyers! The more of those we stick out there the more sign-ups we get (in addition to the ones coming off my newspaper campaigns). My co-op tracking code number is 3103. So when you receive new affiliates with this co-op code you'll know they're coming from this team initiative.

Not yet on my Advertising Co-op? Here’s how to get on. It's FREE! Download my new eBook SFI Team Co-op – Retail & Recruiting.

The Future is Bright With SFI!

(This eBook is in pdf format. Requires Adobe Reader)

You want to buy products from SFI but they’re not accepting credit cards from your country? Or you don’t HAVE a credit card and you live outside the United States and can’t figure out HOW to pay?


Buying SFI products is usually considered a hassle by affiliates who live in countries where SFI does not accept credit cards from. But it isn’t… if you use Western Union via online processor StratoCash. They’re just as good. And they are tremendously fast and efficient. Trouble is, without clear and concise instructions on how to process your orders via StratoCash / Western Union, the task would certainly appear not only daunting, but a hurdle that can only serve to deter affiliates from becoming more active with the business. In this eBook, I will explain how it’s done outside of the United States. Passing this eBook on to your downline can help you tap into the international marketplace with ease!
