Here is what I send to those who ask me for help promoting SFI-TripleClicks. These strategies have allowed me to earn over $3,000,000 online since 1998 from SFI and other sources..
=====================
There's a lot of info here so you may want to wait till you have plenty of focus and energy before reviewing and store it somewhere so you can refer back to it anytime you choose. There are both low cost and free methods of marketing your website
I also urge you to continue following the SFI program as it's laid out on your "VersaPoints Scoreboard" "Alerts" "TO DO list at: www.sfimg.com/Home Just take it step by step and do all your daily, weekly, and monthly tasks. TO DO List- www.sfimg.com/Home?tab=to-do_list Don't forget to use the LAUNCH PAD, AFFILIATE TIPS, and RULES OF SUCCESS. You will find all these at:

Many of the online marketing methods I use are similar to SFI's recommendations . The following provides some very good ways to advertise, market, and promote the SFI/TripleClicks internet income opportunity.

More offline methods include using SFI E & X Cards
www.sfimg.com/Resources/EcardDetails

I would advise you to put the cards anywhere you can find a board that allows postings like Laundry mats, grocery stores...etc. One strategy is to go to your local unemployment office and hand them out as people come and go and/or place them on windshields. Go to any place where people seek or get public assistance. College campuses sometimes have a board next to financial aid or their employment office to post open jobs and income sources. I found a job in college from a private company who posted an opening when on the wall next to the financial aid office.
If you are a novice to internet marketing and advertising with little or no money to invest.... you will want to consistently navigate Forums, Discussion Groups, Blogs, Classified sites, Traffic exchanges, and newsgroups along with anything else remotely related to making income online, employment, jobs... etc. Just post messages and interact with others looking to earn income online. Everywhere you go... make sure you post your sfi website or gateway link in all of communications.
The best and easiest way to do this is to add your sfi website link to your Forum "signature file" in your profile when your signup. Then you can post a message more detailed about how good it is... Some forums are really strict on posting links and call it spam. Far more are flexible on this than aren't. There are literally tens of millions of people worldwide looking to make money online out of their homes.
Again some Websites that allow comments and postings whose rules are strict on this usually require you to enter a code to insure you are a real person and not some kind of automatic software program submitter. On some of these, It's best to just talk briefly with others about marketing and growing an online income and then you will get inquiries and signups just from those discussions. They will click on your SFI link posted in your message your signature file similar to how you can do in your email acct.
You can find the best Forums, Discussion Groups, Blogs, Article Information websites and newsgroups...etc by going to Google and Yahoo search engines and entering these keywords phrases with work at home or make money in front. For instance you can go to Google and enter:
Make Money Forums,
Work At Home Discussion Groups,
Online Income Blogs,
Home business newsgoups
Work At Home Forums
Free classifies
Home based business blogs/forums/classifieds/articles/exchanges
Just switch the words around for different results... Once you are at these websites... make postings inviting others to join SFI on your team. Be very careful to not get distracted into signing on with a speculative and suspicious offer which is 98% of what is being promoted out there for people looking to work at home.
Here is an example of what you will want to include in your posting and/or signature file [with your sfi id#].

www.work-at-home-directory.com/0sfi.php
REPLACE ABOVE WITH YOUR GATEWAY URL
To see all your SFI/TC free "gateway" websites go to: www.sfimg.com/MyAccount/GatewayList
You can use your free gateways or else get your own personal website online which is very important to your long term success. If you are so inclined, One of the easiest and best ways is to use your own website This is because you will own your domain name and can choose from their many templates to add the specific content and banners, images and other details you want people to see when they come to your website. I still use the free sfi affiliate website, but my affiliates get there from sfi links on my personal website. I make a lot of money with SFI but is only one a several income opps on my sites... GoDaddy.com is a good source to get a website with your own domain.
It's important and better to select and market your own chosen domain name website which is like having your own unique "logo" or trade mark.... is more effective and better than what we get free from sfi which looks like this: www.sfi4.com/181082/FREE. I plant this seed because it's another way to get 1500 VP and retain EA status . This is simply a personal decision for you to consider, but having your own website not only helps your with SFI, but allows you to add other free affiliate income streams like Clickbank, Google Adsense, Guru Media, Exclusive, ROI, and more. These will never cost you anything and you'll earn simply by placing their Work At Home Links [with your id#] on your personal website.
Don't forget if you live in the USA or other business friendly countries with similar tax laws, every expense you have related to your home business and SFI is a tax write off including the above purchases, car mileage, deductions for all home office expenses/supplies including new computers, copiers, part of your mortgage or rent...this is separate and in addition to your interest deduction is applicable. If you have a five room home... 20% of rent or mortgage is deductible. Once again there are many more deductions if you live in the USA and other business friendly countries. Consult an accountant or your tax specialist for details.
Basically, most of what I do in my life is a tax write off including travel and vacations which I can connect to my sfi home business. The next time you go see a friend or relative hundreds or thousands of miles away simply introduce them to SFI and at least a good portion of the entire trip can be deducted. My tax preparer allows me to write off a large amount of the trip expense.... and sometimes all of it if they enroll and perform some tasks earning them income. I also depreciate my office equipment and furniture. These are just examples of all the side benefits you get as an active SFI affiliate. You essentially have the same tax status as the local store you buy from... except YOUR store is online and located in your home office.
Sorry to get carried away about taxes but I was totally amazed how much I saved even when I wasn't first profitable. In the USA, you can actually deduct for 3 yrs without a profit as long as you can prove you're actively working. That won't happen with SFI but I've know people who do this with other companies from home simply for the tax advantages.
Don't forget all of SFI's items like Veruni Tcredits, IAHBE... etc are 100% guaranteed and that includes standing orders. You can cancel, edit, update anytime you choose.
Once again make sure you thoroughly review and use SFI's "rules of success" written by Gery Carson who is the owner of SFI at: www.sfimg.com/ROS/Index.sfi
Moving on... One of the best FREE techniques to get started quickly marketing your business is to use Social Networking programs like Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, LinkedIn, Youtube, live...etc and online forums and discussion boards. Enroll in each of these and some forums and spend about 8-10 hrs weekly making contacts promoting and marketing your SFI business.
Once you get the hang of how these work... you can enroll new affiliates simply by going to these and posting messages and/or placing ads and making contacts with others like you who are interested in making money online. If you are not yet a member of these... signup TODAY and start using these valuable and free resources:

www.Craigslist.org and Blogs like Blogger.com and Blogspot.com are also a good avenues to market promote your free sfi gateway website online. You can enroll a lot of new PSA's with these.
I've heard from a few team Leaders who do well using PPC {Pay Per Click} websites like Bidvertiser.com but there's a learning curve to get the best bang for you buck. One affiliate told me she gets new PSA's there during a 2 hour window for 5-10 cents each.
There are new social networks popping up all the time so keep your eyes open for those growing quickly. Here is a list of the top websites [based on traffic] rated by Alexa
www.alexa.com/topsites
You can use the S-Builder Co-op while you learn to market but there's no guarantee the affiliates you get will earn you money. Again, there are places like low cost search engines PPC (Pay Per Click). These are websites just like previously mentioned along with google and yahoo but without the high cost per click. Do a search for PPC search engines.
I recommend that you do a search online (yahoo or google) and type in "10 cent search engine". Give a few a try. Always start with the minumal amount needed in funds. Use as many keywords as you can in the Title/Text part of your ad. If you need help with keywords click on this link and put in the SFI website.
adwords.google.com/o/Targeting/Explorer?__u=1000000000&__c=1000000000&ideaRequestType=KEYWORD_IDEAS#search.none
Your ad will take a few days before being approved in most cases. If you have not heard anything by day 3 then send an email to them in support. Remember that most places are not in operation for live help on weekends or holidays. They normally post this on the home page.
If you change your ad at anytime, even the title, there will be another wait period for approval. I recommend putting in more than one ad. This does not mean you have to run them both. I have used two ads but only run one at a time.
If you find that your funds are going to quickly and not enough signups then look at your keywords and which countries you are targeting. Join a site that will give you reports on how many clicks and perhaps where your clicks are coming which will be very helpful.
Take a look at your keywords. Keywords like "Work at home", "Work from home" can take your funds quickly. If you find that you are having a lot of clicks from countries not signing up for SFI, take that country off the list to target.
Pay attention to the time of the day you notice the most signups. Pay attention also to the days of the week. I do not run my ad all day long. Usually two hours a day. I do not run my ad everyday of the week. I have learned what time periods the site I am using works best and I have learned what days of the week not to advertise on this site.
Offline with Flyers and Xcards
First off find all the UNEMPLOYMENT offices within 50 miles and post and hand them out there... also leave them under the wiper blades of all cars in the parking lot.
Naturally you'll give them to all the people you know.
Next post them on Bulletin Boards at all college and universities within a 50 mile radius. It best to go to the campus employment offices where most have a board next to their office entrance.
Post them at restaurants, laundry mats, grocery stores and every where else you can think of. Including coffee shops, bookstores, and similar small businesses often have a bulletin board. Hang a flyer. Put an SFI card on the cars in a parking lot at a flea market or bargain fair.
Repeat all of the above weekly or monthly.
Classifieds:
You can go online and do a search for Classifieds. You can do this for free or for a very low monthly fee like I do. Your ad is at the top this way. One thing nice about Classifieds is that you can change your ad often without having to wait for approval like a PPC. When the viewings and clicks and/or sign ups stop... time to change your ad. You will do this fairly often.
I have found that just changing either the Title, Text or the Banner? Your viewings, clicks and signups will start back up again. Never stay in one place for a long period of time. Like up to a year, unless your signups are still going strong. Move around, check a few out. I do all the time.
Traffic Exchanges (TE):
Try to put your ads at the top. I recommend doing all 3 on TE's. SFI/ECA/TC
TC referrals - I do something I don't think most think of and that is put an ad in at the top (paying more credits to do this but worth it) and have it run while the "live auctions" are going on and turn it off when the auction is over. I did this once when they were auctioning off the laptop and ipod and I would get anywhere from 3 to 5 referrals signing up during this time.
===================
If you have the money and want to put your biz on a faster track.... Buy Tcredits and pick the right spots to bid on CSA's and S-builder Co-op at Pricebenders. I've personally enrolled 200,000+ since I started and earn income from all who are active...
Once again for emphasis, don't forget every expense you have related to SFI can be a tax benefit including all purchases at SFI and TripleClicks, car expense/mileage, deductions for all home office expenses/supplies including PC's laptops, Cell phones, software, copiers, maintenance, depreciation of all your "tools" and percentage of your mortgage or rent...this is separate and in addition to your interest deduction, if any.
Just keep a file with receipts for everything, or else use a check, credit or debit card which is normally record enough. Again sorry to get carried away about taxes but I was happily amazed how much I saved my first year and even today 15+ yrs later
Just remember that maintaining your EA and/or Team Leader status and consistently working the program at least 15-20 hrs weekly will bring you some serious income. If done on a regular and consistent basis, you will do very well and eventually can make this your primary source of earnings.
The duration of your SFI commitment and consistency of your work is directly related to the amount of money you earn. The only other factor is NOT GIVING UP! The only SFI affiliates I've seen fail are those who don't do the work or give up before they really get started. even if you spend nothing, you can still earn income.
================
Don't get overwhelmed with all this info. You're not in a race so just take it one day and/or session at a time and you will slowly grow your team and build residual income which is the best because it keeps coming indefinitely. I still earn money from affiliates I enrolled back in 2000, 2001, and forward..
