The path to EA status at SFI every month is easier than you think.

One fault I would point to with the SFI Training program is that they spend a lot of time repeating the need to earn 1500 VP each month to keep your EA status and while they point the obvious way of placing a 1500 VP valued standing order of business cards etc.. They don’t show you enough of the small ways to go EA and stay there.

Now I will tell you that you still need the business cards, post cards etc… to be a success, so don’t get me wrong, but they need not be a massive burden when your business is young.

The reason SIM Team SFI focuses on 5 members and helping them get 5 members in the first 30-60 days is simple. Regardless of sales our team can maintain EA status by reaching it’s goals. In fact, we can make an easy path to Bronze Team Leader a 3,000 VP monthly position without spending a dime.

This is how we do it:

• You to-do list has 10 daily task including checking what’s new at Triple Clicks that add up to 11 VP earned per day. This on a 30 day month is 330VP.
• Using the downline messenger to motivate your team each month is worth 120 points a month sending 1 weekly message to your team.
• You can earn another 90 points from stream post as well.

That’s 540 VP just doing the to-do list alone and I haven’t gone over the who list of VP earnings like Launchpad and Getting Started.

540 VP is a long way from the 1500 for EA Status or the 3,000 for Bronze Team Leader* but we also earn a matching VP Bonus on the first 6 levels of referred affiliates. We use focus on 5 at the top and 5 under each of them. ( * = BTL requires matching 1500VP from sales or personal order.)

5 x 540 = 2700 VP plus your 540 and you are a Bronze Leader once you make 1500 matching points from sales or purchases.

Help your team get 5 each and you will get matching VP off 30 people in your wave even before they get 5 etc.. 30 x 540 = 16,200 VP every month even before we start making sales. Which is great because the number of Versa Points we have determine how many shares we get in the Executives pool and how many CSA’s we stand to get from other actions. Add in some sales or our own purchases and we move very rapidly up the earnings ladder to the the maximum out of SFI.

How Viral Blogging Works

My Viral Blog works on the basis of viral promotions for online websites and blogs and revolves heavily around community and partnerships among bloggers. Specifically niche related blogs and pro bloggers that share similar interest working together to do more.

Blogs like websites need to have a steady stream of targeted real visitor traffic to perform well. To get this traffic you need to build high Google Page Ranks and Alexa rankings. Google basis their rankings primarily on on page Search Engine Optimization and off site popularity. The latter is achieved through targeted one way links on related sites, carried feeds, and snippets. These items can push a blog or directory into a position where it becomes known as a authority site.

Authority sites are called that because other related sites routinely point to them for more information and recommend their content to visitors.

My Viral Blog and it’s community area allow targeted groups creation where bloggers can gather to share information and build partnerships with other bloggers who write on the same topic. By creating or joining a group in your niche topic you can build trade relations with related content blogs. There are many benefits and short cuts to success in this group marketing concept.

• Regularly updated content: By making a pact with other niche bloggers to share RSS feeds and re-post rights the other blogs in your group can use FeedWordPress in their admin panel to instantly share your post on their pages. Like wise you can syndicate their content on yours so your blog is updated with fresh content even if you take a vacation, come down sick, or take that overtime at work. Fresh content builds PR fast and also keeps subscribers coming back which equals No Bounce traffic.

• Link Exchange with your preferred text. By trading links on similar content blogs in addition to trading content you are getting a recommendation from that site as a related resource the other blogger trust for providing quality information. This plays a huge role in authority site status and page rank and will also begin to send traffic to your site from their exiting visitors.

• Co-Op marketing using web rings or URL rotators. If you have paid attention to targeted traffic sites, the ones offering guaranteed visitors you will notice that pricing for the good ones can be $20 per thousand or more, but the more visitors ordered the lower the cost per thousand can be. I have seen sites offer $20 per thousand visitors but when 1 million visitors are ordered the price is just $2 per thousand. A group of bloggers who enter a co-op buy their traffic in bulk each paying a lower price and getting more visitors for every dollar spent. Following the numbers above a price of $20 can either get 1,000 visitors or 10,000 visitors for the same $20 based on choosing between a group co-op and doing it on your own.

• Branding. Much like the authority site designation branding comes from having thousands of websites pointing to your blog for advice and more related content. Authority site happens when a search engine gives special attention to your site where branding and name repetition is how the public perceives your blog. When a visitor has seen your blog recommended on thousands of other sites they are more apt to read your post, subscribe to your feed, and click on your cash paying links. A good consumer report works similar to what happens with branding. When a consumer group give the thumbs up on a product the link to the site that sells the product stands a far greater chance of resulting in a sale. If you are seen as an expert and say buy this product to solve that problem then people will follow the link and buy. Can you say affiliate commissions?

Again this is a viral promotion system so let’s take a look at how viral marketing is accomplished.

A prime example would be a viral e-book. The original author will write the book and include links that can be re-branded to your links in order to earn cash or traffic. They give it away to people who give it away to others and the end result is millions of people giving away the same e-book and the original author getting hundreds of thousands of monthly visitors for free.

Likewise these viral traffic sites where you visit 7 pages and get the code from those pages so you can add your site at the top of the list. In this case 7 other sites are visited, when you give your site away 6 other sites and your get visited and as the people you bring in promote their site your site moves down the list until it falls off 7 levels later.

Blogs when plugged into the content sharing system where syndication of your post happens on other blogs works much the same way. When you post appear on Joe’s blog and post from Joe’s blog appear on Mary’s then Mary’s post are carried by Phillip, your post go instantly out on all of the above blogs even if you have only met Joe.

My Viral Blog let’s you meet a lot of Joe’s who know a bunch of Mary’s and spread your content across potentially millions of blogs every time you post.

Additionally every new page or post on My Viral Blog will send more visitors to My Viral Blog and create more links back to our main site. Many of these people will become regular readers of our syndicated blogs, they will join the program and partner with you, and many will just be readers that use the random blog link up top to visit several blogs at random.

Every action taken on our site creates a reaction and builds on the traffic and popularity of all our blogs. It’s a true viral miracle in action as we grow as a team.

Advertising in Yellow Pages

Some people believe that yellow pages do not receive response like other advertising methods do and this is true to some extent but not in totality. When talking about traditional yellow pages, there sure is a decline in number of people opting for advertising in it. According to a recent report, even the most attractive advertisement in a particular section is not getting the response from callers like they used to get before. On the contrary, the prices of placing ads in directories are on a rise, which speaks a different, story altogether.

In reality different categories are witnessing different rates of decline. Like the lawyers category is seeing the maximum decline, where as emergency service provider’s section has the same call rate. And sections like mobile phones, real estate and furniture are seeing a rise due to the increasing customer demand. Altering the size of the advertisement or changing the look cannot do wonders any more.

Experts suggest that relying on yellow pages to get customers isn’t enough. Other options should be considered as well along with it. With the Internet reaching every home, nearly half of the Internet users use the net everyday. They prefer to buy stuff online, from the comfort of their homes. Research should be done on the Internet to get reviews about the product. People, who don’t usually shop online, also are also opting to shop online as information is provided at the click of a mouse. It is easier for people to trust as customers who used the product give their feedback about the product after using it.

A relatively newer concept is the yellow pages going online. The good thing about them is that they are updated frequently unlike the printed directories and can be viewed from any part of the world. According to researches conducted, the response increased by twenty five percent every year. So those who are interested to invest in yellow pages advertising can think of going online. Directories are submitted to search engines, which on typing a keyword or phrase bring the results. Small and local businesses, too, can land on the pages brought by the result. The cost of creating a website can be saved if all the relevant information about the company is included in the online yellow pages. Look out for the date to renew the directory listing, and if there is a need to change the advertisement, it is not a big problem on online yellow pages. Some starter websites offer to place advertisement in their yellow pages for free. Search out for such websites on the Internet.

Larger businesses can start their own websites and place links in the online yellow pages. Articles can be framed about the business and can be submitted to Ezines and websites related to the area of business. Some websites also allow posting articles for free. The purpose of the yellow pages is basically to get potential customers but that doesn’t mean that existing customers should be neglected. Steps should be taken to strengthen the relationship with them and to retain their trust by maintaining the standard of the products supplied to them. Once they are completely satisfied, the price-rise won’t bother them and they will talk about the company to people they know, which will fetch new customers.

The objective is to work smartly and select the right method of advertising. If a business isn’t using any other method for advertising apart from using yellow pages, it can cause problems and the products may not sell. Analyze how much money is spent on placing ads in directories and estimate whether the amount of customers the business gets is desirable. Whenever a call is received from a potential customer, ask them how they got to know about the enterprise. This will help to analyze which advertising method is ideal for the business. It is never late to correct the mistake and go for the right method.

The post above is from an unknown author and was part of a research packet I am working through for future post. Unlike a lot of bloggers I know when I use filler content I tell ya.

Andy

I found a great article filled with offline promotion ideas from an unknown author as part of a blog content package with PLR rights. If you sometimes use PLR as filler contact me at Viral Networks and I can pass on a money saving link to tons of great content. I have spent less than $10 so far and received around 2500 articles as well as tools to make my blogs grow when short on time.

Offline Promotion and Advertising Ideas:

Advertising for free seems like an impossible thing when heard. But there are several ways by which the cost of advertisement can be conserved, with the help of some imagination and creativity.

A business wanting to advertise, can write articles related to their field of expertise that can be submitted to media and publications having interest in that particular field. The advertising article can have information about the company and dealership opportunity. Due to the rise in Internet users and websites, new websites have sprung up which offer free services. Articles can be written for these websites and they can be broadcast for free, which will be viewed by hundreds of people everyday.

Once the business has gained some recognition, within no time it will gain popularity also among the crowds. This popularity can lead to them being invited on radio and television talk shows and even to interviews. Such kind of opportunities shouldn’t be missed as they provide a chance for free promotion. If it is taking a long time to get a break, the producer can be addressed with a letter that can be followed up by a telephone call or in-person visit. During the visit, the nature of expertise can be discussed about the business, which will be of interest to the viewers of the particular channel. Once a businessperson gains the status of being public-friendly, more offers start pouring in.

Free bulletin board located in the neighborhood, like in grocery stores, libraries, and salons, are another good idea. Advertising circulars can be posted on such boards for free. Circulars for mass distribution can be handed out at the mall, shopping center, bus stops, particularly on weekends when there is a big rush. Students can be hired on part time basis for this purpose.

Promotional advertisement can be printed on the envelopes used by the business firms. Both the sender and the receiver can view this advertisement. Promotional offers can be sent to customers by postcards, which should be utilized to its full, leaving only place left for writing the address.

Some of the new mail order publications offer free first time and seasonal deductions for advertisers. Other publications offer pay per inquiry space. Inquiries can be made about stand-by space, which means that the publication holds the submission of advertisement until the space is not sold and in that case, thirty three percent saving can be achieved. Usually local newspapers provide these kinds of offers.

If the business is involved in ad sheet or catalog publishing, other publishers can be contacted for the purpose of bartering an advertising exchange. They can place advertisement in their publication, in return for placing their advertisement in the business’s publication.

Free offers can be provided to the customer. This can be done by emailing or printing newsletter about information regarding the area of interest of the targeted customers and can be made popular by using tag lines. Attach a free coupon with it, which the customers can use it for shopping, if a criterion is met like minimum purchase of $ 50. By this the response will be huge and most of them will purchase something or the other to avail the free offer. The basic ingredient for advertising for free is imagination and research. Opportunities should be searched and a strong working force should be applied to increase the sales.

Please note that while these tactics were written for an offline business they work fantastic for online business as well, especially if you have your own domain name and lead capture system. If you don’t have these you are missing a lot of business and need to check out our hosting page.
