Hello all,

Is anyone having success with SFI?

I know the veterans are making money with SFI, but is anyone who joined in the last 6 months or so having any success.

I have quite a few affiliates and send out a follow up email series, but as yet have made no money at all.

Be interesting how others are getting on.

I have two people who becan EA. They cam from the Eye Earn co-op. Other than them I don't even get a response from the signups. I think it takes a lot of free members to get one who will go EA. It makes the program look impossible to make money from. For the most part free signups are just lookers, they're not buyers from my experience.

Spending money to get free signups is the main reason I've never joined expensive co-ops.

Hi Barb

are you an EA? because as you know - you cant make money if you're not!

Im surprised how well Ive done with SFI so far.
Between Jeff Casmers SFI Coop and my own efforts I have a pile of signups and a couple of EA's that are doing really well.

Persistence is the key!
Also, I email my people all the time, just to catch up, show interest and provide extra support! I think its important to know if they are good -their kids are good - their dog is good etc!

Just my way I guess - but Im sure if you stick to it- it will happen!
Good Luck - Kym

I have success with SFI and have made money every month from it consistently since I started in 2004.... BUT, the amount you get is pretty low compared to the other programs. I receive more than double the amount I get from SFI from most of the other PIPS programs Success University, Host4Profit, Empowerism (but not Traffic Swarm).

I like it though, as it is a great way to get people started as it is free and has good training. Often you can strike up an email conversation with your affiliates and direct them to PIPS.

Cheers,
Suzanne

I too just got started with SFI a few months ago. I have two who are EA now. So we will see how it goes. Since it isn't my only source I am promoting, I am not too worried.

I have also read many places that since this opportunity is free to start maybe people wont actually take the time to work for money. They are freebie seekers. I feel the ones who spend money on opportunities are looking at it as an investment and that they want to succeed.

We will see.

Good luck,

[Jeff Casmer]

Hi,

Thanks Kym for the kind words. Yes. It takes work and some affiliates will do nothing but if you work the system and provide consistent feedback on the people who do seek help OR dont ask for help but work the business you can make good money with SFI...

Experiment:

I find it interesting...I did an experiment.....I will give you the short version....

I got 5 separate email accounts and picked 5 people (all most of you know) who have not made any money with SFI or have not said good things about SFI.

I found their SFI accounts via their PIPS websites going through their PIPS sales page link and JUST signed up for SFI. I used a different name and email address for all 5. I confirmed my subscription as you have to do with SFI.....and then confirmed that they were my sponsors (that I personally had chosen for this experiment) by looking at my back office with SFI.....

Then....I waited....and waited....

I never heard from even ONE person of the 5.......

Keep in mind that I made sure I whitelisted their email addresses listed as their contact information.....and make sure my spam filters were set up properly to improve chances I get their email....

I just was waiting for 1 person to email me.......call me......or anything to introduce themselves etc...

NOTHING...

So....its easy to knock the program....but when you dont work the program properly, you cant complain about the results your getting......

So......the moral of the story......???

Improve your chances by working systems and programs the best way the experienced marketers do it....

If you dont even attempt to develop a relationship with them then you get what you put into it....

Take care
Jeff Casmer

Good point Jeff C. The fortune is in the follow up and with all the autoresponders we have you might as well let them follow up for you. Follow up with prospects, follow up with new SFI affiliates, follow up with new PIPS members, etc. Get a few personal messages set up and then start following up.

Personally email your new SFI affiliates and offer them a few tips just for sending a blank email to your autoresponder. You will get many to do that and then just let the autoresponder take over from there. This is not rocket science here.

I also have some success with SFI,
I only started focusing on it 5 or 6 month ago.

Thanks to Jeff C.'s co-op I grew my downline, and the Eye-Earn co-op is helpful too.
As for today I have 4 EAs.

You don't have to become EA to earn money, SFI has great products and very soon they will launch their new affiliate store and you will be able to sell almost everything.

An EA status just helps you earn more.

I have also had success with SFI and the key is communicating with those you sponsor. I find the SFI affiliates are the ones most likely to email for information and it is quite easy to build a relationship with them.

A lot of my PIPS sign-ups come from my SFI affiliates.

Cheers for now

Hmmm, didn't notice anyone "knock" SFI. I'll have to look harder.

I do know that any program that takes free members will require quite a few of them to make any money. I have to look at the bottom line. How many people will it take to make good money. With SFI it will take quite a few paid members to make significant money. But it's possible to do and it has been done.

One problem I've had and still do to some extent is having too many pots in the fire. It's hard to ffocus on building any one business when you have several you're trying to sell. That's why focusing on the total PIPs package is the best way to go for most in my opinion. You simply let the sales page and news letter sell multiple opportunities for you. You concentrate on just one program and it will concentrate on several. Less work and more money.

This morning I started changing my Traffic Swarm ads to only my newsletter squeeze pages and my PIPs sales page.

[Barb Thornback]

Thankyou all for your replies and by these I can still see that it is mostly the veterans that are making money with SFI, which shows it takes quite a time.

[Jeff Casmer]

Hi Barb,

Its not just the veterans making money with SFI. I have several new people who are making money with SFI....

I refer 99 percent of my affiliates for my members and 1 percent for me and I still get some EA's and make an SFI commission check each and every month....

You can make money with SFI in 30 days if you follow a system.....

Take care
Jeff

Do we need to buy something than only we can make money from SFI? Can they deliver if I am in Malaysia?

[Stephen Meyer]

vorales, the best thing to do because you live where you do is purchase an online product. I purchased IAHBE because there is no shipping.

I am having a lot of success with SFI. These are great products. I retail the cleaning products and nutrition products locally, then sign up distributors from my customers. You make a lot more money by selling direct than trying to sell through the website. There is just way too many people trying to sell the same products online.

SFI is a good program.
I've been able to maintain my BTL Status for a few months already.
I've got a few EAs and two of them are really action takers (they have built their own professional websites to promote SFI).
However I've also got a few EAs who canceled their SFI membership recently. So keeping my downline motivated is the hardest part so far, but anyway staying in touch with them is the key in my opinion.

Dan
