Private Success Team Update

Tue, 29 Jul 2008 15:41:04 GMT

Ray White announced earlier today that he has made major changes to the Private Success Team sign up page, including new graphics and a simpler design. Starting today, new Private Success Team members will only need to sign up for two programs rather than the three that were previously required. SFI Marketing Group remains our main affiliate program and Soaring4Traffic is the traffic exchange that will be promoted to meet our traffic needs. Ray just announced a new email series that will provide all Private Success Team members with a better understanding of what our goals are and the process we take to build everyone's downline in both programs. If you wish to start building your list and promote the Private Success Team system, the email series will be available for you to copy and modify. It is highly recommended that you sign up for this email series to better understand the direction we are taking. You are invited to sign up to my customized version of the Private Success Team message series. You may sign up here: http://johndilbeck.com/splash-pages/pst-splash1.html This new email series is a total of eight messages spread over a period of about two weeks. Each member will be allowed and encouraged to copy the original messages and to create a customized series for you to promote the Private Success Team. This is a great way to promote and build your list at the same time. Ray added that we are in the process of adding more splash pages to our system in the near future. This new email series will be encouraging new members to join us in the forum for questions, comments, or concerns. We sincerely hope that you will join us so we can work together to help each other build our teams and grow our businesses. Please drop by the forum at your earliest convenience. If you are not already a member of the forum, come and join us right away. http://www.creativemeasure.com/forum Ray has been hinting that activity in the forum can be rewarding as he has plans to reward those who participate. We hope you join us in the Private Success Team and start promoting it right away. Let's get back to business and work together to build this team. By the way, don't forget to login to your Soaring4Traffic members area, click the Downline Builder link in the left column, and be sure to enter your referral username for the Private Success Team. We will be sending more members to the downline builder, so don't miss out on getting a referral. Similarly, the traffic exchange downline builder in Soaring4Traffic will be promoted for our new Private Success Team members to join other traffic exchanges. Make sure you have your referral IDs entered. Come join our Private Success Team and we look forward to seeing you in the forum. Act on your dream! JD

New lens for SFI Marketing Group Affiliates on Squidoo.com

Thu, 13 Mar 2008 00:29:18 GMT

I just created a new lens for SFI Marketing Group Affiliates at Squidoo.com. (Please note that I created the lens on Wednesday, February 27, 2008, and it may not be viewable until Thursday or Friday, depending upon when the next Squidoo ranking update takes place. If you can't see it, please come back in a day or so.) Its purpose is to syndicate a couple of RSS feeds from our new SFI Marketing Group Affiliates social networking site. The new lens republishes the Latest Activities feed toward the top and the Forum feed toward the bottom. Additionally, you are invited to vote in our poll and participate in the duel. You'll need to be a Squidoo lensmaster to participate, and you can become one for free. I recommend Squidoo and have numerous lenses there with more on the drawing board. Are you an expert on something? Build your own Squidoo lens and tell the world. It's free, and you may even earn some money from it. Please feel free to link to the new lens at: http://www.squidoo.com/sfi-marketing-group-affiliates I look forward to seeing your feedback on the lens and please - if you want - rank the lens (5 stars is best) and offer your comments in the duel or the comments section at the bottom of the lens. You'll note that the people who are participating the most on our new social network are the ones who are getting mentioned the most on our new lens. How easy is that? All you have to do is participate on our social networking site. I'll be republishing those feeds on other sites I own. That means that there will be more links to your profile page as you participate more and as I have the time to syndicate the news feeds on more sites. Can you think of something I should add to the new lens to make it more useful? All suggestions are welcome. Act on your dream! JD

SFI Marketing Group introduces new Marketing Methods Shortcut page for affiliates

Thu, 13 Mar 2008 00:27:38 GMT

SFI Marketing group can be complex and hard to understand because of all the ways you can build your business and earn commissions for your marketing efforts. They have introduced a new Marketing Methods Shortcuts page to help you promote our products and services, and recruit other affiliates into your team. The URL is: https://www.sfimg.com/methods or it can also be reached at: http://www.sfimg.com/methods How easy is that to remember? I've previously talked about how important it is to choose your focus at SFI because there is just too much to do if you don't focus on one or two of the featured categories there. If you haven't chosen your focus when you go to the Marketing Methods Shortcuts page, you'll see a message, "Sorry, you have to choose your focus first," before being taken to the Choose Your Focus page to do so. This is an automatic redirection, so I won't mention the URL of the page. This is a powerful tool for beginning and intermediate affiliates, because all you have to do is remember and bookmark the Marketing Methods Shortcuts page to be able to quickly find some good marketing tips for your chosen focus. If you haven't done so, I recommend that you go to the Marketing Methods Shortcuts page and review what you'll find there. Then, do at least one thing on that list every day to build your business and earn commissions with SFI Marketing Group. Another thing you can do - at no cost to you - is to join us at the SFI Marketing Group Affiliates social networking site, where you can customize your profile page to promote your SFI business. You can post to your blog, join or start discussions in our forum, meet new friends, and become a better affiliate. It's a great place to start marketing your SFI focus and to learn more about earning larger commissions as an SFI Marketing Group affiliate. Act on your dream! JD

SFI Marketing Group offers SFI explained in 30 seconds page for affiliates

Thu, 13 Mar 2008 00:26:10 GMT

SFI has just introduced a new SFI explained in 30 seconds page. This is a great addition to the site and makes it a bit easier to select your focus and do a better job of marketing the products and/or services within your focus category. After going to this page, I changed my focus from NiceOffers.com to EyeEarn.com. After making the change, I went back to the SFI explained in 30 seconds page and found that it was much simpler and now consists of only four steps. I believe this really makes it much easier for affiliates to follow through, especially for people who are new to SFI Marketing Group. There were a number of reasons for making this decision. Primarily, it looks like the company's focus is on EyeEarn.com, so there is momentum there. Secondarily, while I like NiceOffers.com and think there is good long-term potential for merchants who advertise with NOC, that is not where the company is focused right now. I have invested a lot of time, money, and effort in promoting NOC, but, until the user interface is improved and the search feature actually works, I'm going to be promoting it passively. I won't remove any links to the site, but I won't be actively promoting it until I see the improvement that has been promised for almost a year. So, in the meantime, I'll be actively promoting EyeEarn.com and MaxMalls.com. I recommend that all active SFI affiliates visit SFI explained in 30 seconds and follow through with the information and activities presented to you there. Act on your dream! JD

What is NOC?

Mon, 02 Jan 2006 06:51:43 GMT

All consumers want to save money. All businesses want more customers.

More reasons why NOC is hot: 1. You can now earn lucrative commissions by simply referring people to money-saving coupons. 2. Each week, the SFI product line is expanded with fresh, new products through NOC. And if there's a product or service you're interested in that we don't have, you now have the ability to add it. 3. You can now gain and maintain Executive Affiliate (EA) status by giving away coupons and/or using them yourself. 4. NOC works everywhere!
