SFI Follow Up Series

It may be a good idea to print this page out to follow the instructions.

I can't stress enough the importance of following up with SFI signups. I would imagine that my business would be nowhere near as successful as it has been were it not for following up using my various autoresponders. What's more it is now totally on AUTO-PILOT!

Below I will show you how to import the followups from my personal autoresponder into your own. Then I will explain how to customise these messages with your own personal and affiliate info so that they look like your own and more importantly you get any credit for sales made from them. The affiliate info included will be your Plug In Profit Site, SFI, and Traffic Swarm.

These messages will also go a long way to supporting and encouraging your personal affiliates to upgrade their SFI accounts.

Bookmark this page (Press Ctrl + D on your keypad) and pass it on to all your affiliates. The more this process is duplicated the better for us all.

Below I will outline a step by step process for implimenting the steps above. You must have a Getresponse account to do this. If you don't already have a Getresponse account then you can get one free here.

You will need to set up a new responder at your Getresponse account(A free membership at Getresponse will allow you to copy just 5 of the followups to your account). Be careful not to overwrite any messages you have in your main account.

To set up a new responder log into your Getresponse account:

Then scroll down and click the "Create Campaign" button:

You should find yourself on the new campaign page.

Now follow the simple instructions below:

Create Your Campaign

In the "Name" and "Email" boxes add your name and email. They may already have been inserted as you reached the page.:

In the "Reply To" field add in an email address that you want those on your campaign list to reply to. This can be your main email address or an email address set up specifically for your SFI contacts. You could put your SFI email in this field:

In the "Title" field put in the title of your campaign (ie. SFI Follow Campaign #1):

In the "Description" field put in your campaign description(ie. Campaign to which I add all my new SFI affiliates in order to encourage them to upgrade to Executive Affiliate and to join PIPS):

Click the "Create a New Campaign" button:

NB:For further explanations of the above fields click the ?s next to each field:

That's it! Well done, you have created your new campaign but do not click away from the "Congratulations" page just yet. Now you need to add my followup messages. Don't worry about the Warning message about not personalizing your confirmation message. This can be done at a later date:

On the "Congratulations" page under "You can start with:" click the "Preloading Messages" link.

Import my SFI followup messages from my Getresponse account to yours.

In the left hand side "Source" box next to the "Campaign" field put "sfimgaff@getresponse.com"(Without the quotation marks).

In the left hand side "Source" box next to "Custom Variables" check the box.

In the left hand side "Source" box next to "Message type" choose "follow-ups" if it is not already there.

Click the "login" button. If a "Password" field appears or is needed enter "sfi123"(Without the quotation marks) for the password.

You should now see a list of my SFI Follow Up messages.

Select all the messages by clicking the top box or choose the individual messages that you want to copy.

At the top of the "Destination" box next to "Choose Campaign" select the name of the campaign that you want the messages copied to (This is the campaign you set up in the first part of this tutorial ie sficampaign1). Please be careful not to choose a current campaign(ie your 400 day PIPS campaign) as the next step will overwrite any messages you have.

In the right hand side "Destination" box next to the "Message type" choose "follow-ups" if it is not already there.

Click the copy button

The messages should now be copied from my campaign to yours. If you like you can change the days at which your SFI Affiliates will receive your messages:

Click the save settings button to save the messages to your account:

That's it! Well done, you have created your new campaign. Now you need to customise them with YOUR affiliate IDs and personal info. To do this follow the remaining steps:

Adding Your Variables To Getresponse

This means that I can set up an email campaign, you can upload them and by adding YOUR variables you change links in the messages automatically without having to change every message manually or individually.

For example one affiliate id in your Getresponse messages may look like this http://www.[[pre_sfi_id]]/free
By going and inserting a variable in the [[pre_sfi_id]] field of the "variables" section of Getresponse you can automatically change this link in your followups. In this case I would insert quickinfo247.com/235051 in the [[pre_sfi_id]] field.

Now lets see how we add your "variables" which effect every message in your followups.

Please note: If you are not a member of any of these programs then it is important that you leave something in the variable fields otherwise there will be dead links in your emails.

Steps:
Along the top of your Getresponse page run your mouse over the "Subscribers" link, scroll down to "My Subscribers" and then across and click "Predefined Fields":

You should now be on the "Variables" page. We need to change each one of these to your info. We do this by clicking on the edit button, making the necessary change then clicking "save":

Here is a list of what each variable relates to and how to add YOUR info:

• domain_id = This is your main domain name. You can basically put any website address here. If you own a Plug In Profit Site then it is a good idea to enter this URL. You can get your own website here. Put in the last part of your domain name leaving out the http://www. part (ie. YOURDOMAIN.com). To add YOUR info: Click the Edit button then make the changes in the "Value" box then click save.
• name_id = This is your "name". If you don't know this then you need more than a followup series;-).
• plugintraining_domain = This is your Plugin Profits Training site address. If you don't have a training site for your Plug in team nor a Plugin site then leave this and move on to the next step. To add YOUR info: Click the Edit button then make the changes in the "Value" box then click save.
• plugin_domain = This is your Plug In Profit Site affiliate domain name. If you dont have one then leave this and move on to the next step. In the "Predefined Value:" box add YOUR Plug In Profits affiliate domain name and affiliate number(ie pluginprofitsite.com/main-10). To add YOUR info: Click the Edit button then make the changes in the "Value" box then click save.
• sfi_domain = This is your SFI affiliate domain name. In the "Value:" box add YOUR SFI affiliate domain name and number(ie moreinfo247.com/235051). To add YOUR info: Click the Edit button then make the changes in the "Value" box then click save.
• trafficswarm_domain = This is your Traffic Swarm affiliate ID. If you don't have a Traffic Swarm id you can get one here(This is free to join). If you don't want to do this then just leave then leave this and move on to the next step. In the "Value:" box add YOUR Traffic Swarm affiliate domain and number(ie trafficswarm.com/go.cgi?86616). To add YOUR info: Click the Edit button then make the changes in the "Value" box then click save.
• trainingsite_domain = This is your SFI Training site address. If you don't have a training site for your team then then leave this and move on to the next step. In the "Value:" box add YOUR training site address(ie sfielite.com). To add YOUR info: Click the Edit button then make the changes in the "Value" box then click save.

Congratulations! That's it you have set up your SFI Followups now all you need to do is come to your Getresponse account whenever you get a new affiliate and add them to the series. Scroll down for instructions on how to add your subscribers emails.
