Getting Started in Multilevel Marketing?
Our friend Pedro Henrique player has started in multilevel marketing (excellent choice), but has already started with some questions, which resulted in the following comment:
Hello, good morning, I registered at the SFI but really I don’t know how to start. Can you give me any tip?
Okay, Pedro, you asked and we’ll help you. We’ll talk about multilevel marketing in general and discuss the “how to start in the SFI Affiliate program,” as a case study in this article. Let’s go!
Registration in a program of affiliate / MLM
The first step to start working with MLM is therefore register as a participant in a program for affiliates. In our case, we are presenting SFI Affiliate program, then you need to register it there. To register yourself, you can follow by clicking the following button and filling out the form that will appear (something fast, don’t worry):
Of course, after making your registration you will need to activate it via an email confirmation. Check the inbox of your email (and spam folder, because it may be there), find the activation email and follow the instructions to activate your account (usually just click the link to activate and you will be taken to a page where you can log in and inform other relevant data).
After making the registration, it’s time for …
Learn how multilevel marketing works in that system selected
That is, now that you already are one of affiliates of that system, it is time to begin to understand what is your role in that system.
Generally, to achieve greater success and profitability of all the best, good MLM systems instruct its members to act on two main fronts:
1. Dissemination of products and services of companies benefited by the system;
2. Recruitment of new affiliates who may participate in the system.
It is noticeable that money comes through the sale of products and services (first item), but the recruitment of new members that allows more and more people acting as “sellers” in order to increase potential sales (second item) .
If you work based only on first item, you earn money from your sales, but you will have a potential for profitability more restricted, since only get commissions from your own sales. If you work based only on second item, you can have profits based on the profitability of your affiliates, however, if they all do the same and no product is being sold, no money coming.
However, if you are broadcasting and thus able to sell products and recruiting new members (and they do the same thing), you would earn in accordance with their sales and sales of your affiliates, maximizing your revenue. Thus, for your multilevel marketing strategy works better, you should act in order to implement the both items and apply to their members do the same too. Remember always: the success of your affiliates is your success, then monitor them, help them!
The SFI’s Maximum Income Plan is exactly that!
If you pay attention as soon as you log into your SFI system (you can use the address http://www.sfimg.com for it) you’ll see a page showing the Maximum Income Plan (if you’re not watching, you can click the link on the left bar).
But what is the Maximum Income Plan?
It’s a plan designed and documented by the SFI to teach how you should act to achieve the maximum possible gain in this system.
The Maximum Income Plan is based on three principles, abbreviated by the letters R, S and D:
- Referral – refer new consumers, who may buy and / or sell goods and services in determined companies (in this case, it is the virtual store Triple Clicks);
- Sponsoring – bring new members and help them (sponsoring) to know the system and know how to act;
- Duplication – make your affiliates understand the importance of not only practice referral and sponsoring, but also ensure they will instruct their affiliates to do the same thing.
And we’ve just explained it in the previous section, no?
If you start to run so serious these three items, will start to make money gradually and as bigger the growth of your downline (ie the network of affiliates that you managed to bring the system), your earnings will grow more.
The first tip I give is: read the Maximum Income Plan.
After that, it’s time to …
Know the companies and products that you will disclose
The next step now is to begin to know what you disclose. We can not disclose anything that is unknown. How to explain about a product that you didn’t read, study or test?
For the system of SFI affiliate, you have some options for businesses and programs that may disclose:
- Triple Clicks;
- Max Malls;
- International Association of Home Business Entrepreneurs;
- Eye Earn;
- And, of course, the SFI Affiliate program.
There is also the possibility to disseminate products and departments of the store Triple Clicks individually, but let’s start talking about these here today, okay?
Note one detail: all the links I am giving you has the number 10612641 on it. This is my ID in the SFI. Thus, when disclosing the links, you will do similar to what I did, but take care to replace my ID for your ID (you should have it received by email and can check the website SFI after login ), and if someone accesses those links and make a purchase or sign up for any of them, you will receive the appropriate benefits later.
As I said at the beginning of this section, you need to know each one of the things that is marketing, so now I will speak briefly on the Triple Clicks and International Association of Home Business Entrepreneurs.
Triple Clicks – a virtual store to garage sales
The garage sales are now common on the Internet and Triple Clicks allows anyone to sell products in its system.
You can sell almost everything there, from software and books in digital format (PDF) to products to lose weight and hosting services.
One detail that I didn’t know: Triple Clicks was created on January 5, 2009, ie, it is quite recent! Over time it will grow and therefore the income of affiliates will also increase. This is actually a basic rule in MLM (actually, it works in any business): when you first enter the race, the more you can win.
You may disclose the store (as I did in the previous section), a division of it (the book section, for example) or a particular product. Meanwhile, for purposes of simplification, let’s start only marketing that store itself, OK?
Visit that store, know its products, read about them. As more you know it, better you can market it.
International Association of Home Business Entrepreneurs
This association has a very interesting goal – becoming itself a point of reference for all of those entrepreneurs who want or already have a home business based, that is, at home (as I have and as you want too ).
I registered myself there in order to know what’s in it and it’s very interesting – many articles, books and references to free software that you can employ me your business.
Of course, only to join does not mean you will be a great entrepreneur suddenly – you need to study those articles, think about how to apply them in your own business, draft a plan and start to act (today, if possible). Thus, yes, the IAHBE (abbreviation of “short name” of the association) will become your business a success.
Where to disseminate such companies and products?
And this is our next step to whom getting started: find out where disclosing such companies and products.
Obviously, to disclose in anywhere doesn’t mean success in this task. You should focus on and look for forums, websites, blogs and other places on the Internet where you can find people interested in the products of the company concerned.
Suppose I wish to disclose the IAHBE. Obviously I have more success if I do a campaign to disseminate it in blogs and websites interested in home business, make money on the Internet. It’s useless talking about it, for example, in community of players of video games.
If I want to disclose the Triple Clicks store, I must disclose it in places where there are people who might be interested in buying its products.
I advise you to search the Internet sites, blogs and forums in your language and in English where you can disclose what is in their interest in the program and create a list that you use in your marketing campaigns.
For forums, you can probably become a free member, add the links in your signature to spread and begin to discuss in the forum, and, when possible and appropriate (avoid being boring, writing only to sell your product without adding anything to the discussions), present your product.
In the case of blogs, you can participate by commenting and marketing your product, also where possible and convenient!
