SFI Full Access Report

Hey Jeff -

You are certainly on the ball and getting lots done!

My only suggestion with the SFI Campaigns is to have 3 of them - one for your new affiliates, one for smart start graduates and one of ea's. That way you manually place them in the category that is appropriate for their position with SFI. You will be promoting a little differently to each of them - encouraging the next stage with SFI.

You are a publisher.

Keep up the hard work!

Hi Robin! I didn't know there was a page two on here until this morning. I am looking for a more updated SFI Series. The one I have needs a major overhaul. Two things, do you have tracking turned on in getresponse? I'm asking because right now I have mine turned on and every single url looks the same. Is that a turn off to the readers?

Also when you receive a notification of new affiliate sign up from sfi, to GGS add that affiliate manually to the ongoing campaign list. Or do you add new affiliate to a new list?

I have been adding about 1 new affiliate sign up everyday to the ongoing list I already have a campaign going for it. I hope this is the correct way to do that.

Hello Jeff!

I would be happy to share my SFI campaigns with you if you so desire. Just PM me if you'd like.

When I receive a notice that I have a new affiliate, I immediately send them a personal email welcome message, then I manually enter then into GGS and I do them separately so they will start getting messages from day 0. The reason I do this is that I can easily cancel their campaign and move them to the SS or EA campaign as they advance.

The tracking enables you to go in and see how many people have received your email and how many have opened that email, etc.. This lets you know which messages are "working" and which are not so you can tweak them. I have this running and check it once in awhile but not on a constant basis.

Keep signing them up!

Robin, Let me see if I have this right.

If you receive a new affiliate on say Monday, you start a new mailing campaign for that one affiliate? The same if you get one on Tuesday and so forth. You set up a new campaign each time on a different mailing schedule?

I have been receiving a message that if I add a new contact to an existing mailing, that it starts at the beginning again.

How many campaigns do you have going? Confused a little.

Nancy -
You have this right. When I get more than one a day I add them all to one campaign say calling it "new 2-2"

You can delete out campaigns after they have sent all the messages - just makes it clearer for me. Oh - if you are tracking campaigns, make sure to record tracking data before deleting campaign. Right now, I have about 25 going. I do this at the end of the day so I can get all signupfor day in that day campaign.

Are you saying that if you add a new contact to an already existing mailing that the whole series starts over for everyone?

That is just what is working for me - when I am flooded with SFI sign-ups in the near future (lol) then I may have to adjust this but it is working for me now and easy to see what is happening with each respective affiliate.

Yes that is exactly what I am saying. I like your way better, I will give it a try later tonite. I just had two more sign ups and I don't want to add them to an existing campaign.

Thanks

Nancy ;D ;D

Nancy -
That is what I thought so that is why I am doing it this way. It is working now for me. Let me know how it goes.

If you are already are following up with your affiliates to become EA's on a consistent basis by email autoresponders, here is what Gery Carson had to say about that. It is very interesting:

Heya Tal, what are your thoughts on this? Continue using autoresponder with SFI affiliates for encouraging them to become EA or stop the SFI Series?

I don't know of any successful SFI members who have gotten consistent flows of EA's without using autoresponders. I am not talking about getting 3-4 sign ups per month.

This is something to think about too.

Jeff,

Thanks for sharing this article.

My thoughts on this (for what they are worth) is that in the first 30 days (Your NEW AFFILIATES CAMPAIGN) should be geared to what Gery is saying. Not necessarily about upgrading but about the opportunity and letting them know you are there for help. Once that 30 days is up, they complete SS or upgrade to EA then you would do a series that is geared toward where they are with their business with SFI.

I have tweaked my campaigns and now will go back and look at them again with this added knowledge.

Hi Jeff,

For me it is still hard to make that decision about following up with them by autoresponder knowing that SFI does that for me.

Gery suggested that we don't use it but Erich does so I would go with Erich's recommendations.

Although I don't have an autoresponder to my SFI team, I use the contact manager and also persona l email to those on my team that have finished reading SFI's Smart Start.
