Today I am going to show you exactly how you can set up an email followup system to recruit SFI and put it on automatic-pilot.

This will allow you to plugin some leads and leave the system to do the recruiting.

It has been said that the vast majority of people will not become interested in joining your program until at least the 4th or 5th followup. That’s why it’s vitally important that you keep in touch with your prospects.

Most of my SFI business is on auto-pilot. I want to show you EXACTLY how to do that too. This is just one of a series of tactics I will present to you in this training series over the coming days.

Let’s make a start on getting this first strategy set up:

Step ONE

Firstly you will need to get a Getresponse auto-responder account. Click Here to sign up for a Getresponse professional email marketing account.

This is the engine we will use to keep in contact with our prospects. Anyone serious about creating a full-time auto-piloted, passive income, online MUST have an auto-responder account. It’s just not practical to followup manually. In fact, it would be a nightmare.

Step TWO

Secondly I will allow you to copy my professionally written followup messages to use in your email followup campaign. Please follow the instructions and screenshots below to set up your email campaign and load my messages.

Click here to login to your Getresponse account.

Setting Up a New Getresponse Campaign

Now, follow the instructions in the image below:

Next, follow the steps below to create a new campaign:

Load My Professional Followup Messages into Your New Getresponse Campaign

From your Getresponse accout page follow the instruction below:

Now, follow the steps below:

Then, add my campaign name - sfiprospectives – from which you will copy the messages, by following the steps in the below image:

Next, choose your account to which you want the messages copied:

Next follow the two steps below, in order:

Lastly, save the new messages in YOUR account(See image below):

Auto-Change the Links and Details in the Email Followups

The below instructions will allow you to quickly change the links and details in all the follow messages to your details. There are only two changes to make to the emails, YOUR SFI affiliate link and also your website address.

If you don’t have a website you may like me to set one up for you. Click Here to get more details on my site set up offer.

Now let’s get on with changing my details to YOURS!

Follow the instruction below to access the ‘Predefined Fields’ section :

Now follow the instructions below. Please note the Predefined field name below is SFI_link:

Then, follow the steps below:

Magic! You have edited all the followups with this one step. Now on to test your messages to ensure they contain all YOUR details… 

Test Your Messages
 

Firstly, click the upload button:

Then, follow the THREE steps below:

Now, follow the steps below:

Step THREE

Now that you have your followup system in place you need to get some prospects to followup. By far the quickest way to do this – especially if you are just starting out is to buy leads directly from Getresponse.

I’ve used some crap email leads in the past but Getresponse’s power leads were not among that bunch. Getresponse’s leads are actually very responsive compared to some of the other junk out there.

You can find out more about them and order you package by logging into your Getresponse account the going to Buy Getresponse Power Leads.

Once you go through the payment process you will be asked to add your Getresponse campaign name. You simply add the name of the campaign you chose in step ONE above. That way when GR send your leads to that campaign your leads will automatically get those followups encouraging them to join your SFI team.

Creating Ads for Your Lead Campaigns

Here’s an easy way to find some ads to use in your Getresponse lead campaigns.

1. Sign up for a Free Trafficswarm account(You are going to need an account here anyway for one of my future strategy lessons.)

2. Login to your Trafficswarm account here

3. Half way down the page click the ‘Surf for Credits’ link.

There you will find numerous ads that members have written. Take ideas and language from the ads to create your own ads. DO NOT copy them word for word!

Congratulations on completing these steps! 

The great thing about the above strategy is that you don’t even have to own a website. For future tutorials you will need your own site. In the next tutorial I am going to show you how you can get FREE leads BUT you will need your own website.

P.S
If you find any errors in the steps above or missing pieces, please let me know.

I am prepared to set up a site for members of my SFI team – YOU that is – FREE of charge – provided you sign up for hosting with my recommended web host AND maybe send me some feedback if you’re happy with the site.

As many of you know I have been in business for many years online and have numerous websites.

I was serious about this business from the very beginning and I was only a few months started when I setup my first website.

If YOU are serious about making this a long term project then you ARE going to have to get your own site at some stage down the line.

I believe this is a perfect opportunity for you to get a professional looking site which you will find it very easy to update with content. Basically if you can copy and paste or type then you can add content to the site I will set up for you.

You will look much more professional and will convert more people to SFI or any other web business IF you have your own site.

You can find full details at the link below:

Please ignore the Paypal payment button. All you need to do as a member of my team – or co-op member – is pay for Bluehost web hosting using the link at the page above. Then use the contact form to send me your details. Please put a note in the ‘More info’ box of the contact form that you are from SFI and are taking me up on this offer.

I look forward to setting up your new website.

You aren’t going to make much money at all with SFI unless you start to refer your own affiliates and customers.

That is, unless you personally sign up new people to the business your commissions are going to be negligible.

Don’t worry though, SFI provides plenty of training and resources for this to be made possible, even for the average person – just like I was when I first got started in this business around 9 years ago.

For resources and training on Referring customers check out the link below:

P.S
You can read more about my home business success at my SFI Presidents Club Profile.

Co-Op # 12 will ber over within the next week or so and I will be sending out the emails for #13.

I have been running this advertising co-op for well over a year now and have provided 1000s of SFI affiliates for my team members.

I can say that these affiliates are recruited using the same advertising resources that I have used to grow my own SFI business. They are indeed high quality.

When you join the co-op I send you affiliate just like you signed them up yourself. If they upgrade in SFI then you gain the commission – not me.

So, please look out for the launch email which will come very soon.

It IS in your best interests to make sure to grab a spot in this co-op.

In the meantime have a look at the other posts on this blog if it is your first visit and make sure to add yourself to the SFI training series that I provide for my affiliates.

One of the most effective ways I use to promote SFI and all my other online businesses is through ‘article marketing’. This strategy involves writing and submitting articles to 100s or even 1000s of online article directory databases with links back to your online business.

Now, most article directories will not allow you to put live links in the article body itself, but you can put one or two of your own links in the article resource, or author bio box.To find examples of articles in every category imaginable check out Ezinearticles.com. This is arguably the most popular article database.

I suggest you checkout the internet marketing and home business sections of ezine articles and browse other marketers’ articles for ideas for your own.There are two ways to submit your articles, either manually or using an Article Submission services. If you want to do this manually then you can find a comprehensive list of Article Databases at the link below:
Article Database list

I personally use an Article submission service called Submit Your Article to submit my articles to 100s of online directories. At the minute if you do a search on google for my name you will find around 30,000 listings. This number has been achieved mainly due to submitting articles every month for over 5 years.

Article marketing should be an integral part of any online business.

You can use this strategy to send targeted visitors to your SFI site. Also linking to your own website from your articles is a great way to raise your search engine ranking.It has to be said that some article databases will not permit you to link to affiliate programs like SFI from your article, so it is always better to promote SFI through your own site.

The internet is always changing as is what effective marketing strategies will work in promoting your website.

If you don’t already know, SFI provide you with a number of turnkey websites that you can use to promote your SFI business.

You can view your websites below and get access to some marketing materials:
https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/Marketing/MarketingAids.sfi (You will need to login to your sfi account).

To be perfectly honest I don’t send visitors directly to these sites when I’m doing my promotions. For years now I have owned my own websites and from them I link to the SFI gateways that SFI corporate provide. All the top earners in SFI own their own websites, without exception.

Why do I do this? Well, because I want to promote my own sites and if at sometime down the line I decide to leave SFI then I will have put the work in on my own business and not building SFI. Basically, I can plugin any home business to my site.

With my own site I can also do a lot more promotions that I cannot do with SFI gateways. For instance I can add more content to my own site which will draw in Free search engine visitors. I can also write articles about home business with a link back to my own site.

So, you should seriously consider getting your own site and promoting your SFI home business from there.

I recommend Stone Evans setup which you can check out below. This will be your own site and will include 5 other income streams:
Stone Evans Home Business Setup

Over the coming weeks I will go over some strategies that you can use to promote your business.

If you are REALLY serious about owning a serious home based business then this is the way to go. You don’t have to neccessarily take up my recommendation above but you should definitely have your own domain name, host and a web platform with which to publish your website content.
