If you have followed my last blog, by now you should have your FREE autoresponder and should thus be equipped to earn like the PROS.

It's absolutely FREE even if you choose not to join my downline. However, unless you have a product and know how to use your autoresponder, you are still back where you started. The autoresponder is what all the pros are using and you need to take full advantage of it, else it's pointless. You got the autoresponder to earn. So make sure you do!
For those of you who have signed up for SFI and the SUTeambuilder, you already have your product. You also have the upgraded autoresponder and have received the instructions on how to use it, but don't ignore this mail even if you have, because I'VE GOT SOMETHING FOR YOU, too.
If you haven't joined SFI and SUTeambuilder, then you should do so right away and get the upgrade and instructions on how to use the autoresponder and don't forget the automatic traffic that I am going to tell you about, too.
If you already have the autoresponder but did not join my downline in SFI and SUteambuilder but now want to, then GO TO Autoresponder Downline Builder
But if you haven't got the autoreponder, then get the autoresponder first: FREE Autoresponder
Now that's over, let's get to the topic of the blog and that is how to get FREE automatic traffic.
FREE AUTOMATIC TRAFFIC (in Large Quantities)
I know what you are going to ask. Is there really such a thing?
The answer is of course there is, but you just need to know where it is and how to use it. In fact I have got three really special automatic traffic programs that you don't have to do anything about.
Well here we go!
INSTANT BUZZ (Click to Join)
This is one of the best and most powerful automatic traffic generation systems ever devised.
You go on about doing everything you have always done - BROWSING THE INTERNET, SENDING MAILS - and you will get TRAFFIC FOR NOTHING. You can also earn a lot of traffic from adding a link to your web page or blog so that every time someone visits your blog you get traffic back to your affiliate link.
Sounds Great ? Well it's True and it's something you can't ignore. So DON'T IGNORE IT!
If you're thinking why I have not used it in this blog, it's because I use it in many places than I don't. This blog is very new and I am unlikely to benefit from Instant Buzz from this blog, but I am still benefitting from it just by using my browser. It works with firefox and IE.
TRAFFIC SWARM (Click to Join)
Always on top of the traffic exchange lists, but you really DON'T have to surf and that's why it's so great. Just set your browser homepage to your referral link and you get traffic for nothing every time you open your browser and lets face it, you will do this often and every day.
VIRAL URL (Click to Join)
If you have joined the SUTeambuilder Affiliate Program, then you will recognize this one.
If you haven't, (You really should) just be content to learn that this is by far the best of the the automatic traffic generation resources I have given and I know I have given the very best because I use them all.
What viral url allows you to do is to cloak your link and this means that anyone who is mean enough to try and steal or cut your links will not be able to do so. So it secures your earnings.
But it does much more than that. Infact once you cloak your link and promote it, every time you get a visitor, you will get another one FREE from viral url. That's two visitors for one. That's all there is to it!
NOW YOU HAVE YOUR AUTORESPONDER AND AUTOMATIC TRAFFIC
Make sure you sign up to SFI - You can stay FREE forever and earn for FREE, but you can earn tens of thousands of dollars if you upgrade and if you promote the right way.
Also signup for the SUTeambuilder.
But just incase you haven't still got the autoresponder, then get the autoresponder first: FREE Autoresponder

How to Succeed With SFI - Get a FREE Autoresponder
In my last blog I discussed why so many people fail in affiliate programs and far from hypes and scams, the major cause of failure was due to the wrong type of mindset, the inability to distinguish genuine opportunities from hypes and scams, the suspicion that uplines will earn or exploit from ones hard work, the jealousy of the upline and the unwillingness to take action even using FREE methods.
When we compared the same people in a full time job, although hatred or jealousy of superiors might still exist, it was often seen that they would work much harder for less pay and less satisfaction.
However, this blog is not really about failure. SFI is one of the biggest and most successful affiliate programs of all time and there are many top affiliates who are earning in excess of $100,000 per month from it. It's been running successfully for more than 10 years and is not thus a hype or a scam and there are structural advantages which are not availbale anywhere else.
Having said this, promoting an affiliate program is never easy. Due to an incorrect mindset, the vast majority of people are unable to distinguish hypes and scams from good and genuine opportunities and so they will not join. Of the ones that do, the vast majority will not act on good advice because they do not want their upline to earn. It's sound silly but it's not. It's absolutely true and it is a dilemma that we have to contend with.
I sincerely believe, and I hope you will agree fully me, that knowling problems is the key to solutions. Unfortunately there are too many people with the wrong type of mindset and trying to make money with an affiliate program with so many people with incorrect mindsets esepcially in a network marketing program like SFI might be rather like finding a needle in haystack, but it can be done and I will show how.
My system involves a FREE autoresponder. An autoresponder is an extremely useful tool and is something that all the gurus and all the superaffiliates are using. It's a must have. What it does is sends mails at regularly intervals, as pre programmed and pre written and tries to slowly but staedily convert the mindset of the downline. Most sales are converted leads using an autoresponder and this is what I am going to start with.
Autoresponders are not cheap and can range from anything from $150 per year to thousands of dollars per year, but the one I am going to use is FREE and infact the hosting is FREE, too, and more importantly I am going give my downline this autoresponder for FREE so that they can give their downline the same. I will also give them lead capture pages and pre written mails so once they have a dowline, they don't have to worry about how to get the conversion. Because of the FREE lead capture pages and pre written mails, the autoresponder I am going to give way is infact worth considerably more than $150 per year autoresponder, but it is FREE.
Now you might ask me why this autoresponder is FREE and there is good reason for this because we cannot really get into people's minds and change their mindsets, but we can send them mails and try to teach them so that the conversion rate might be increased and this is why the autoresponder that I am going to give away must be absolutely FREE. More importantly we want the message across to as many people as possible and a FREE autoresponder is about the easiest thing to give away, because it is so useful. Unfortunately even then, some people won't budge but I suspect that a 50 ton truck, might not do much to persuade them either.
For those who recognise the value of the autoresponder and believe me this is extremely valuable, there is a condition however, and that is anyone who want's an autoresponder needs to sign up under my downline. It's not exactly true becasue I will still give it away fro FREE even if they do not join me in SFI, but I will not give them the upgrade. Anyone who doesn't join my downline will only get the basic autoresponder and no lead capture pages and no pre written mails. More importantly an autoresponder, regardless of how powerful it is, is of no use unless you know how to use it. Anyone who joins under my downline, gets this FREE autoreponder with all that goes with it and I think it's fair because if you want something from me, it's only fair that I get something out of the deal and this goes to my active downline members, too.
Nevertheless, having established a strategy is unfortunately not enough. I still need to promote and I still need to show my downline how to promote and because many of them will be skeptical, I need to show my downline how to promote for FREE and I am going to do exactly that in my next blogs. So please bear with me.

Why so many affiliates fail with SFI
Although this blog is about SFI, in order to establish how valuable it really is, it is necessary for me to first discuss why people fail on the internet and thereafter I hope to establish why so many fail with SFI.
As mentioned in my earlier blog, SFI is one of the biggest and most successful affiliate programs on the net. It is entirely dependent on affiliates for earnings and as such if they didn't offer their affiliates success, they wouldn't have become so big and so successful. Also, it is highly unlikely that they would be around even after 10 years if they didn't truly offer a money making opportunity. So the reality is that affiliates are earning and indeed there are a large number of affiliates earning in excess of $100,000 plus per annum.
However, this particular issue of my blog is not about the success stories. Rather it is about the unfortunate people who don’t succeed. The failure rate on the internet is about 95%. This staggering number includes all the people who lose money on the internet rather than gain. It’s not impossible to earn and many ordinary people are earning every day, but unfortunately the numbers of people failing is far greater.
One of the reasons for failure is hypes and scams. Prospective affiliates are quite often trapped in hypes and scams which are extremely common.
A hype in my view is when a program or marketing method is described in an exaggerated manner which is impossible to duplicate, which so often is told by a self proclaimed guru who explains how he has made a ridiculous sum of money almost magically, but in luring poor affiliate into his trap, does not show how it is done and never offers the tools needed to duplicate his trick and thereby succeed. Too many affiliates join hyped up programs hoping to make the same ridiculous sums of money they are told is possible, almost magically, might I add, and of course magic does not exist and so therefore nearly all the affiliates fail.
On the other hand, a scam is much worse than a hype because it is set up to exploit people’s natural desires to become self sufficient and wealthy, but instead of offering these it just robs people of their money. Although there are numerous types of scams on the internet, for the sake of this article I would like to refer only to scam affiliate programs. Once an affiliate joins a scam, quite often they gain a sense of immediate success, and sometimes this immediate success is designed to strip the affiliate of more money, but in the end it's always the same, they are cheated of their initial investment and sometimes more and the program operators disappear out of sight only to return another day with another program to cheat some others. There are a large number of websites that are scams and although there are policing authorities in every country of the world who will arrest the culprits quite often the loss to thousands of people are never returned.
Whilst I sympathize with the thousands of affiliates that are trapped in hypes and scams (I, myself have been trapped many times in the past), the very first thing anyone must try to establish before entering into a commitment, even if it is FREE, is whether they are joining something realistic and whether the organization is successful. It is important to understand how a program works and where the money is coming from to pay the affiliates. If the earning is mysterious then it is usually not a good idea to join. Also if nothing is really being sold except a membership to the program then it is usually a sign that the program is not genuine .
To avoid being trapped it is usually a good idea to join an established company with a proven track record for success, but this is not to say that new companies cannot succeed. It just means you have to be a little more careful.
Having said this, I really do not agree that hypes and scams are entirely the reason for failure and infact I do not agree that this is the main cause for failure. Most people have enough sense to avoid hypes and scams, at least repeatedly, but in quite a lot of cases, this avoidance tendency goes too far in that a totally negative opinion of everything is forged, which includes genuine opportunities, too. Everything is not a scam and infact there are quite a number of giant corporations on the internet today with quite a lot more to come tomorrow. These are not scams, but the avoidance tendency, once set in, can prevent success even more than the hypes and scams. Unfortunately this mindset is so severe that, once fully set in, prevents one to distinguish genuine opportunities from the hypes and scams and as such, quite often, they join the hypes and scams instead of the genuine ones. So in fact, far from the hypes and scams that are a problem in itself, a greater reason for failure is the wrong mindset of the prospective affiliates. An open and intelligent mind is necessary before entering into an affiliate program else failure will repeat itself again and again.
If this weren’t enough, the fact remains that are even more reasons for failure and once again it is more because of the affiliate rather than the affiliate program. Every affiliate program offers rewards, but it only rewards people who have benefited the program and unless an affiliate does this, they can’t get rewarded. Quite often affiliates do not do anything. I have seen this happen too often in my downline and there is unfortunately not much that can be done. I try to coach them, to show them free methods of marketing, to help them succeed, but quite often, they don’t budge and so they don’t earn. I am not sure exactly why this is the case, because it obviously is not beneficial for anyone, but I have formed my own assumptions on this. Unfortunately some affiliates are concerned about what their upline will make and it might sound funny, but I suspect it is true, and it is for this reason they fail to listen to advice and progress forward. This childish behavior is infact preventing these affiliates from earning. Another reason can be because of the negative mindset I discussed earlier. In such cases, affiliates do not attempt to try new methods because they think they will fail if they try.
In my opinion, this is by far the largest reason for failure and unfortunately coaching such people is futile because any attempt to help is often received as an attempt to exploit and earn. We cannot enter into people’s minds and we cannot change the way they think and it is often not the affiliate program, but the affiliate that is the cause of their own failure. This applies to SFI and any other program out there.
Having said this, and I hope quite a lot will agree, if we applied this sort of mindset to a regular job, where an employee doesn't work because his superior gets paid more or doesn't work because he thinks that whatever he does will fail, he will surely and undoubtedly get the sack and there is no buts about it. So if such people avoid getting the sack for lowly paid jobs and, in a few cases, work like a dog or slave to keep it, then why on earth do they not avoid failing on the internet? Why should they not try the free methods of marketing that I use all the time and that I suggest to my downline? Why should they be bothered with what I will gain from them, if I can help them to earn? It beats me. I really don't have the answer, but can say for sure that the vast majority of failures are not due to hypes and scams but due to the wrong mindset of quite a lot of affiliates.

Join SFI
SFI - One of the Biggest and Most Successful Affiliate Programs
As you can guess from the title, this blog is about SFI – one the biggest and most successful affiliate programs on the internet which has been running strong for over 10 years.
Because it’s a company with a long track record behind it, one of the key concerns of most affiliates is already removed, that is, it cannot be classified as a scam. Unfortunately scam is far too widespread and therefore if you are looking to join an affiliate program and to avoid scam, joining an established organization such as SFI might be a good idea.
Over the years, millions of people have joined SFI and today they are recruiting around 8000 affiliates a week. This demonstrates the success and popularity of SFI over other programs more than anything else, but really it is the structure of the affiliate program that attracts affiliates like a magnet.
Immediately after you join, anyone who joins after you is added to your downline, which is otherwise known as your power line in SFI. It’s far too difficult to recruit thousands of people yourself and so this structural aspect of SFI is very important and distinguishes it from most other programs out there.
However, it’s not all a bed of roses. Like all programs you need to earn your rewards and in the case of SFI, it works on network marketing and teamwork with the greatest rewards going to the team leaders. So if you are not a team player, then SFI might not be for you.
If, on the other hand, you are a team player, SFI can offer something which many other programs can’t do. For a start, thousands of affiliates added to your down line is a valuable asset in any program and, in SFI, it is infact more valuable if you can utilize your team and leadership skills. To benefit from these you must first become a leader or at least enter the preliminary stage before you become a leader. This is to say that if you want to benefit from the thousands of affiliates that are placed under you; you need to become an executive member.
Although joining SFI is free and although it is possible to earn without any investment, like all things in the internet, success comes faster by paying and, in the case of SFI, going executive may be an wise investment to your road to success. The cost of an executive membership is not cheap, but you do get valuable goods in return for your subscription, which you can choose to use yourself or resell to someone else. It also needs to be said that this is entirely optional and if you feel that you are not ready, you don’t have to go executive right away and therefore the program remains FREE..
If you do choose to go executive, and only if you do, you have the opportunity to earn from everyone that is added onto your downline. You can earn if any of these affiliates make purchases, which include every day goods. Infact going executive locks your position in SFI and in that case you will gain an opportunity from every affiliate in your downline right down to infinity. You can also earn if any of these affiliates choose to go executive, too and infact there are special bonuses which SFI offer if this happens. One of these is the matchmaker bonus from which you will earn 50% of the entire earnings of every affiliate that decides to follow you onto executive class and you will continue to earn this each and every month that you remain an executive member.
If you don’t want to pay to become an executive member but still want to earn, then it is possible, but it is a little more difficult and involves recruiting on your own. What you have to rely on is your ability to recruit but also your leadership skills so that a good percentage of anyone who joins you might follow on to executive status (or alternatively might purchase something). In this case, however, you do not have the opportunity to earn from the thousands of downline members that SFI recruit for you automatically and so the speed of your success can be a lot slower.
It needs to be said that even executive members who are locked in to earn from every single affiliate that joins after them, must still recruit on their own to assure success. The fact is that the responsiveness of your downline is far greater when you recruit yourself because you can easily make friends with them. Whereas the chances of anyone following you onto executive status could be anything between 0.1% to 0.5% from the downline recruited automatically by SFI, the probabilities that someone will follow from your own downline increases to about 20%. So recruiting on your own is a skill that you really need to have.
In some of my later blogs I am going to discuss some of the methods I use to recruit using only FREE methods and if you like you can try them out. Having said this, I really don’t believe that it is a question of like, but rather a question of necessity. If you want to earn on the internet the only way you are going to succeed is if you start recruiting yourself and what better way is there than FREE?
Also I think it's important to add that there are a lot of benefits from SFI that I could not mention simply because I am trying to limit the length of this page (it's getting too long already), but like all affiliate programs there are also lots of difficulties too. However, if your objective is to earn, then you must do something and in this case, SFI might be a good choice for you. Nevertheless, rushing in and finding out that you can't meet the demands is never a good idea and therefore you should find out how the program works before joining. What you should promise yourself before joining is that you are going to make it a success and as you mean to keep this promise make sure that you are equipped for the job.

Infact going executive locks your position in SFI and in that case you will gain an opportunity from every affiliate in your downline right down to infinity. You can also earn if any of these affiliates choose to go executive, too and infact there are special bonuses which SFI offer if this happens. One of these is the matchmaker bonus from which you will earn 50% of the entire earnings of every affiliate that decides to follow you onto executive class and you will continue to earn this each and every month that you remain an executive member.
If you don’t want to pay to become an executive member but still want to earn, then it is possible, but it is a little more difficult and involves recruiting on your own. What you have to rely on is your ability to recruit but also your leadership skills so that a good percentage of anyone who joins you might follow on to executive status (or alternatively might purchase something). In this case, however, you do not have the opportunity to earn from the thousands of downline members that SFI recruit for you automatically and so the speed of your success can be a lot slower.
It needs to be said that even executive members who are locked in to earn from every single affiliate that joins after them, must still recruit on their own to assure success. The fact is that the responsiveness of your downline is far greater when you recruit yourself because you can easily make friends with them. Whereas the chances of anyone following you onto executive status could be anything between 0.1% to 0.5% from the downline recruited automatically by SFI, the probabilities that someone will follow from your own downline increases to about 20%. So recruiting on your own is a skill that you really need to have.
In some of my later blogs I am going to discuss some of the methods I use to recruit using only FREE methods and if you like you can try them out. Having said this, I really don’t believe that it is a question of like, but rather a question of necessity. If you want to earn on the internet the only way you are going to succeed is if you start recruiting yourself and what better way is there than FREE?
Also I think it's important to add that there are a lot of benefits from SFI that I could not mention simply because I am trying to limit the length of this page (it's getting too long already), but like all affiliate programs there are also lots of difficulties too. However, if your objective is to earn, then you must do something and in this case, SFI might be a good choice for you. Nevertheless, rushing in and finding out that you can't meet the demands is never a good idea and therefore you should find out how the program works before joining. What you should promise yourself before joining is that you are going to make it a success and as you mean to keep this promise make sure that you are equipped for the job.
