It is often recommend to have (or create) multiple streams of income. I totally agree with this. There is a lot of logic behind this principle. This subject is discussed often on the internet and I won't go into the detail here, except for the fact that I strongly support the principle. What I do want to discuss though, is something that I haven't seen any discussions on. It is utilizing various marketing channels in your business to ensure success.

This will save you money, as you should be able to start your online business very low to no capital outlay. You should have immediate access to products or services without having to create or buy them, yet you must be able to treat it as your own product. You should be able to build a network of marketers, duplicating your own efforts, thus maximizing results. And finally, have an independent company that will handle and manage all the orders, shipping and commissions. This will free you to spend your time on productive marketing efforts, and spending time with your team members as and when they need you. 

There is an online company that – to my opinion – combines all the marketing channels we have discussed in this series (See Part3).

If you are looking for a reliable affiliate program with a good support structure, I would recommend that you have a look at SFI (Strong Future International). It is free to register, and you immediately get access to various marketing tools. They also enable you to immediately start earning by means of a point system, where you can earn points for various administrative tasks that you perform on a daily basis. Take part in their forum and get advice from other marketers with regards to marketing strategies.

SFI also provides you the opportunity for network marketing, which allows you to build your own down line of affiliates. By teaching the people in your down line, you can duplicate your own efforts, thus creating a passive income.

You will get free membership to TripleClicks.com which is an online store that you can treat as your own once you register at SFI. TripleClicks.com is currently featuring in excess of 50 000 products. You start by saving money, buying from your own online store. Promote your own online store or promote individual products relating to the niche market of your choice. You will also earn commission on the activities of the personally sponsored affiliates in your down line, as well on people they have sponsored for several levels deep through SFI.

Over and above having access to their forum, getting advice and support from other marketers, you also get access to training and support from the company in various other ways, such as their “Launch Pad” series and internet course. This is all included in their free membership, and it will never be required of you to buy anything. Although buying from your own online store is recommended - seeing that it will save you money - it is optional.

Yes, I am a member of SFI, and if you prefer to register for another affiliate program or networking opportunity, you are more than welcome. But if you are new to the online marketing community, or if you are still looking for a way to get started, I can strongly recommend Strong Future International (SFI).
