3 easy step to Automate your SFI business

Today I will be sharing my strategies to grow and automate my SFI business to help all of my team members to do exactly the same.

The setup instruction are outlined in 3 easy steps you can do. But first, you must be an SFI affiliate. So if you havent join SFI, you can do so join here. Its free.

Let me share with you how I brought in over 805 affiliates all on Autopilot.

Below is a screen shot of my SFI account

Step 1, lets configure the autoresponder system to put your business on Auto Pilot.

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 upload 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 Pro account to do this. If you don’t already have a Getresponse account then you can get one here.

If you already have a Getresponse account then read on:You will need to set up a new responder at your Getresponse account. To set up a new responder log into your Getresponse and click the “Setup & Manage Lists” on the left hand side. Then click the “Create a new list” link and set up a new responder. You will need to name it something original.

Download my SFI followup messages HERE, and create them in your account.

• Log into your getresponse account by clicking here.
• Log into your “New” responder by choosing it from the drop down menu at the top left of your screen.
• Click the “Create New Messages” link at near the top of the screen.
• Select I do not need a template, then hit next step.
• Copy day one content and hit add message.
• Repeat this step until you have completed all the follow up message with the day interval

That’s it! Well done, you have loaded my follow up messages into your account. Now you need to customise them with YOUR affiliate IDs and personal info. To do this follow the remaining steps:

Before your Getresponse account is completely configured you need to make sure that your details and affiliate links have been entered in the correct place so that they will be entered in the appropriate emails in your followup series.

Adding Your Variables To Getresponse

The “variables” section in your Getresponse is basically where you can make a change with one or two clicks and effect the links in all your messages.

This means that I can set up an email campaign, you can upload them and by adding YOUR variables you changes 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]]/MG
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.

Adding Your “Variables” Steps:

• Along the top of your Getresponse page click the “Prospects” section, scroll down to “Variables” and click.
• You should now be on the “Variables” page. Scroll down and you will see two form fields which read “Variable Name” and “Predefined Value” respectively and a check box which read “add also for slave accounts”. Usung these boxes you will add your info to the followup messages. Let us see how to do it.
• Here is a list of what each variable relates to and how to add YOUR info:
  1. name_id = This is your “name”. If you don’t know this then you need more than a followup series;-). To add YOUR info: In the “Variable Name:” box add the words “name_id” without the quotes. In the “Predefined Value:” box add YOUR name(ie John Smith). Leave the “add also for slave accounts” box unchecked. Click the “Add/Update Variable” button.
  2. 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. To add YOUR info: In the “Variable Name:” box add the words “domain_id” without the quotes. In the “Predefined Value:” box add YOUR website domain name(ie freeadvertz.com). Leave the “add also for slave accounts” box unchecked. Click the “Add/Update Variable” button.
  3. 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: In the “Variable Name:” box add the words “plugintraining_domain” without the quotes. In the “Predefined Value:” box add YOUR training site address(ie myteamtraining.com). Leave the “add also for slave accounts” box unchecked. Click the “Add/Update Variable” button.
  4. 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. To add YOUR info: In the “Variable Name:” box add the words “plugin_domain” without the quotes. In the “Predefined Value:” box add YOUR Plug In Profits affiliate domain name and affiliate number(ie pluginprofitsite.com/main-7387). Leave the “add also for slave accounts” box unchecked. Click the “Add/Update Variable” button.
  5. sfi_domain = This is your SFI affiliate domain name. To add YOUR info: In the “Variable Name:” box add the words “sfi_domain” without the quotes. In the “Predefined Value:” box add YOUR SFI affiliate domain name and number(ie moreinfo247.com/8902557). Leave the “add also for slave accounts” box unchecked. Click the “Add/Update Variable” button.
  6. 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. To add YOUR info: In the “Variable Name:” box add the words “trafficswarm_domain” without the quotes. In the “Predefined Value:” box add YOUR Traffic Swarm affiliate domain and number(ie trafficswarm.com/go.cgi?318138. Leave the “add also for slave accounts” box unchecked. Click the “Add/Update Variable” button.
  7. 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. To add YOUR info: In the “Variable Name:” box add the words “trainingsite_domain” without the quotes. In the “Predefined Value:” box add YOUR training site address(ie sfielite.com). Leave the “add also for slave accounts” box unchecked. Click the “Add/Update Variable” button.

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(See below for instructions).

Most Important

Test your emails to ensure that they contain all YOUR affiliate info. To do this follow the instuction below. This is very important.

Testing Getresponse Email Followups

Steps:

1. Log into your Getresponse account here:

http://www.getresponse.com/login.html

2. Along the top of the page hold your mouse key over the “Messages” section, scroll down to “Test Messages” and click.
3. You should now be on the “Test Messages” page. Scroll down a little.
4. Where you see “Your e-mail” enter your regular email address.
5. Click the downward arrow where you see “Choose Message” and choose “All messages” or choose a particular message from the list that you want to test. If you choose “all messages” everyone of the emails from your campaign will be sent to your email account.
6. Click the “Send test message!” button.
7. Check your email account to have a look at what your prospects see everyday when they open their in-boxes.

Note: Now every time you get an email notification of a new SFI Affiliate add them to this autoresponder to encourage them to upgrade. To do this log into your Getresponse account go to your SFI Followups account using the drop down menu at the top left of your Getresponse accout, then go to “Prospects”, then “Active prospects” and use the form there to add the new affiliates to your autoresponder system.I have added a link to this training site at the bottom of each followup message which you are free to remove. I hope you keep it there in appreciation of this series and also to make sure your team get access to training and support.

Good luck with your marketing. Tomorrow, I will show you where I get my leads from, and how to import them to your campaigns.

Parents: Warn Your Teens about the Dangers of Using Social Networking Websites

Are you the parent of a teenager?  If so, there is a good chance that you are wondering about their safety online, as you should be.  Although the internet has changed for the better, that change has made it easier for people to access the internet and pretend to be someone that they are not, someone who you would likely not want socializing with your child.  For that reason, you are advised to take the proper action needed to protect your child when they are online, especially when they use online social networking websites.

Online social networking websites?  What are they?  If you are not an internet user yourself, you may be completely unaware of social networking websites, what they are, and how they operate.  The first step in protecting your teen is to famialrize yourself with them.  Social networking websites are known as online communities that aim to connect internet users with each other.  Unfortunately, these social networks have become the stomping grounds for many online predators and who are they after?  Teenagers and chances are your teen may be one of them.

When it comes to protecting your child, your first thought may be to prohibit the use of online networking websites. Of course, you can do this if you want to.  You are the parent, you can do anything that you want; however, there is really no need to. Despite the fact that danger exists, social networking sites are relatively safe, even for teenagers.  However, to be safe and stay safe, your teenager needs to know what to avoid and who to be on the lookout for.  Essentially, this means that they best way to protect your child from online predators is to educate them on the danger that is out there.

One of the first things that you may want to discuss with your child is who they are talking with online. Although they may not want to give you an answer, you need to emphasize the importance of knowing who they are talking to. Since social networks work to connect individuals who do not physically know each other it may seem impossible, but it can be done. Your child should fully read and try to understand the content of their friend’s online profiles. This will enable them to watch out for inconsistent stories or any inaccurate information.  Tell your teen that if they learn that someone is being untruthful they need to end the conversation right away.

In addition to who your teen is taking to, it is also important to learn what they are talking about. As with who they are talking to, your teenager may not want to give you a straight answer. Even if you are unable to get an answer out of them it is important to let them know what is appropriate and what is not. Be sure they know that it is best to completely avoid individuals who like to speak of sex, drugs, and other illegal activities.  Although they  may enjoy having a number of online friends, there are plenty of other individuals, especially teenagers, who would more than willing to have pleasant and harmless conversations with them.

Perhaps, the most important thing to discuss with your teenager about social networking sites is arranging physical meetings.  Let them know that these meeting are unacceptable.  There have been numerous reports, over the past few years, of teenagers being lured away from their home in hopes of meeting a new friend, who they thought was their age.  Unfortunately, many of these online friends turn out to be older and, in many cases, sexual predators.  In the event that your teenager wants to meet an online friend and you feel that they would with or without your permission, you may want to offer to go with them. Of course, it is advised that you use caution and all meet in a public place.

By keeping the above mentioned points in mind, your child should still be able to use social network sites, but use them safely. In addition to the above mentioned safety concerns and precautionary measures, you may have your own.  Whether you do or not, it is important that you keep your child aware of the dangers that lurk online, awareness is the key.

To your success!

StomperNet members show us how they “did it”

Here’s 3 short videos (combined into one) from the StomperNet gang, and this time, no expert faculty or staff to watch.

http://ultimatewealthsystems.com/casestudy

These videos are from real MEMBERS of StomperNet, and they’re going to tell you EXACTLY what they accomplished, and HOW they got these results. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like this.

Video 1 – Kristie is going to show you how she went from making $1,000 a month to $10,000 a month – in 45 days. She made $75,000 last holiday season, too! She’s learned this stuff so well she’s now an expert e-Biz consultant in her home town.

And, oh yeah, she started this 18 months ago.

Video 2 – Cassia is going to show you how she started with making only $5,000 a month – and she had been struggling at her business for YEARS. She and her husband Steve got the “Home Study Course” videos when they signed up for StomperNet, and the next month, they DOUBLED. 3 Months later, they hit $27,000 a month, and have been holding there – even while Cassia had a baby and they moved to their dream home in Colorado.

Video 3 – Chris is going to show you how he was virtually killing himself – getting up at 4:45am – 7 days a week, to be a personal trainer at a gym. When Chris joined StomperNet Andy Jenkins couldn’t figure out whether he was just a guru groupie, or dead on serious.

http://ultimatewealthsystems.com/casestudy

Turns out, he was NOT JOKING about his business. Today, he’s got 8 OTHER TRAINERS working for him, ranks all over the FIRST PAGE of Google for his Money Keywords, and just got back from a

6 WEEK (not day) vacation – and when he came back, his business was BIGGER than when he left. Oh yeah – Chris has been a Stomper just about 1 year now.

These case studies don’t pull any punches either. Listen for each Stomper’s FRANK and Candid discussion of the StomperNet monthly tuition. Listen to how they talk about how both members AND Faculty discuss Controversial topics in the Member Forums. Listen to how they GO OFF about the StomperNet live events. It’s freakishly sharp and honest.

It’s Tuesday, and StomperNet is opening again on Thursday.

Already the rush has begun for the very LIMITED number of slots they will make available. And once they’re full, and I’m dead serious, they’re closing.
The last time they closed, THEY WERE CLOSED FOR A YEAR.

Watch those case-studies – they’re all successful e-Business owners who took a chance, stuck it out, and WON.

They have things to show you.

http://ultimatewealthsystems.com/casestudy

Tomorrow, StomperNet will make a STUNNING announcement.

If you’ve ever wanted some personal attention for your business, you need to look for tomorrow’s announcement. I can’t tell you EXACTLY what it is, but… it has improved every StomperNet member’s business by 68%.

Talk Tomorrow!

Orkut: Google’s Social Networking Website

Are you interested in meeting new people online?  How about people that share the same interests as you? If so, one of the best ways to find those individuals to use online social networking websites.  Social networking websites are often compared to neighborhoods or communities, but ones that are online. If are interested in making use of these popular websites, if you haven’t been already, you will need to find a social networking website to become a member of.  One of the websites that you may be interested in joining is Orkut.

Orkut, sounds interesting doesn’t it?  With other popular websites such as Yahoo! 360, Friendwise, Classmates, and MySpace, there are many who wonder how Orkut became the name of this popular online community.  Orkut is named after the individual who created it.  That man was an employee of Goggle and he is known as Orkut Buyukkokten.

If the name of the website doesn’t automatically draw you in, there is a good chance that the website features will. Like many other social networking websites, Orkut has a number of different member benefits. These benefits are what makes it worthwhile to become a member of this popular social networking website. As popular as Orkut is and as much as you would like to join, there are special procedures that you must follow.  Unfortunately, Google does not allow just anyone to become a member, you must be invited.

Current community members are the only ones who can extend you an invite.  This means that you should not waste your time trying to convince Google to let you join.  Being invited to join Orkut really isn’t as difficult as it may sound.  Orkut is so popular that there is a good chance that you know someone, if not personally than online, who can extend you an invite.  By performing a standard internet search, you should also be able to find Orkut members who would be willing to extend you an invitation, without even knowing who you are.

Although many internet users refrain from joining Orkut, just because of the invitation requirements, there is a good reason for limited membership.  Orkut is a social networking website that is free to use.  Unfortunately, free means that many people would wish to use the website. Many online social networking sites, that are free to use, have literally become ridiculous.  A large number of internet users get joy out of creating fake accounts and causing online controversy.  Google decided to make Orkut a special membership online website to prevent instances like that from happening.

Orkut, like many other online social networking websites, has a number of different purposes.  Of course, the main purpose of Orkut is to allow you to connect with your friends, especially the ones that have extended an invitation to you, but you can do much more than that.  Once a member of Orkut, you can easily famialrize yourself with other website members who share the same interests as you do.  This will not only help you make new friends, but it may also result in the finding of your next romantic partner.  That is what is nice about Orkut, once you are a member, just about anything is possible.

If you are interested in learning more about Orkut, before trying to obtain an invite, you will want to visit their online website.  You can do this by going to www.orkut.com.

Happy friending!

Andy Huang
