LESSON 02 - INTRODUCTION TO SFI

There are millions of websites offering ways to make money working from home using just your computer and the Internet. Many of them are scams designed to cheat you out of your money by offering get rich quick methods that never work. Others offer you pennies for performing tasks such as reading emails, assembling products, posting adverts for companies and so on. It’s no wonder that people have given up trying to make money online after finishing up with nothing but a huge credit card bill. However the good news is that there are some genuine business opportunities online.

The only real way of making money online is by selling a product or offering a service. Many people don’t like the idea of selling because they don’t want to approach people and risk rejection. Salespeople receive rejection and abuse from customers on a daily basis when they call them at home and try to sell them new products or get them to change their current suppliers. Let me assure you that you don’t have to approach or call strangers and convince them to buy. In the online marketing world you can place your offers in front of millions of people who are genuinely interested in them.

This involves starting your own home business to promote your product or service online. This means building a website and promoting it, dealing with payments and refunds, setting prices, customer support and so on. For the average person with no business experience this is not ideal. However there is an easier method known as Affiliate Marketing where you get paid commission from promoting another company’s products. The companies provide you with everything you need to bring customers to them and they deal with everything else. This is the easiest way to get started for newbies.

There are many companies on the Internet that you can join as an affiliate and one of the most popular ones is SFI. The great thing about SFI is that it is free to join and they provide you with everything you need to start making money online as an affiliate. As an SFI affiliate you can make money by promoting one website (Tripleclicks) with thousands of products with new ones added daily. If you want to promote your own product you get a website to list them which are displayed to thousands of Tripleclicks customers. You can even sell unwanted items from your home.

For many years SFI has helped millions of people earn a regular online income with many of them earning a six figure income every month. These people are not all experienced business types, they are normal everyday people from different countries and with various levels of experience. SFI provides a complete business system with all the training and tools you need including business reports on various things such as income earned, customers details, sales report and much more in your own Affiliate Center. No need to spend countless hours with spreadsheets and databases.

SFI AFFILIATE CENTER

The Affiliate Center is a website that you can access using any browser on any device. It offers easy access to various sections via a collection of drop down menus. You can send messages to your affiliate team and receive messages from them as well as system messages from SFI. You can access all the information you need from your team such as when they log into their own affiliate center, how active they are, size of their own teams and so on. You can even offer them gift cards to encourage them to purchase items at Tripleclicks and earn you some commission.

The SFI Affiliate Center is your own virtual office where you can access everything you need to run your SFI business. At first glance it may look complicated but it is actually quite easy. One thing you will find that some of the menu options actually point to the same sections. The Hot Spot menu is the place to find most of the sections you will want to visit anyway. As you become familiar with the menu system you will find it very well categorized and easy to find what you want. A lot of the options are mainly information such as the Training and Reference menus.

TRIPLECLICKS

Tripleclicks is a completely separate website which contains thousands of great products that you can earn commission from. As an SFI affiliate you receive your own Tripleclicks website which is maintained and updated on your behalf. Your only role is to encourage people to visit and the Tripleclicks team will deal with everything else – meaning that you never have to deal directly with customers. You can either promote products separately or you can simply promote the whole website. There are many ways you can earn commission with Tripleclicks as you will learn later on.

You will notice the menu on the left hand side of the screen which sorts products into the correct categories - which you can click on and get complete lists of all the available products on offer. There are also other great features such as an Auction where you can bid for items for up to 90% of their retail price as well as a Deal Section where you can save a fortune on many items. Imagine how much money you could make from customers who buy TCredits to bid on the many bargains that appear daily? Not only that, think of all the repeat sales from customers who keep coming back for more?

In a nutshell this is the easiest home based business that anyone can run from the comfort of their own home using their computer and the Internet. Imagine being able to choose your own working hours that fit in with your family and social life. Imagine earning a regular income every month and having enough money to enjoy your life and secure a better future for yourself and your family. If you are willing to put in the time and effort to build your SFI business you will become successful. The only people that fail are those who make excuses for themselves instead of trying.

I mentioned that you don’t have to approach people so you may be wondering how to get people to visit your Tripleclicks website in the first place. Simply by using the marketing aids provided free with SFI and the many powerful advertising resources on the Internet where people are actually looking for the opportunity to make money online. There are also marketing aids to attract the millions of people who are looking for great places to shop online. If you don’t want to approach people then SFI provides advertising aids such as Flyers and E-Cards which do the selling for you.

For marketing on the Internet SFI provides Gateway Pages which promotes SFI and gives people the opportunity to join for free. You don’t need to do anything more other than display the pages to interested people.

For people who prefer not to advertise they are many good SFI coops which will advertise for you and send you new members for a small fee. There are many marketing services that will provide this service for you so you don’t have to worry about advertising.
