The Downline Online 21-day
SFI Promotion Course
DAY 9
I just want to remind you that the first point of this whole course is to show you how
to bring people to your SFI website.
If you simply follow the instructions in this course, you'll be able to do just that.
But the second point of this course is to stimulate your creativity, to get you to
think of new and novel ways to promote your site, to go BEYOND this course.
We already have many SFI Affiliates and Members who've come up with clever marketing
techniques that I never thought of. And if you want to find out about those (there's new
ones all the time), remember to subscribe to the SFI TIPS mailing list. Go to

#### You want big muscles? ####
Have you ever tried to get in shape? Decided to drop some body fat or put on some
muscle?
When I was in high school, I was a gymnast. One summer my best friend and I decided to
do some serious off-season lifting. We put ourselves on a three-month program of lifting,
eating, eating, eating, and some more lifting... oh, and more eating. Did I mention that
we ate A LOT?
In the first two weeks we got WAY stronger and put on a couple of pounds. We figured
that if our progress kept up at that rate, we would have to drop gymnastics for a
lucrative professional bodybuilding career.
In the next 6 weeks, NOTHING happened! We didn't get stronger, we didn't get bigger,
nothing. Oh, some days we lifted more, but other days we had to use less weight!
If it weren't for our constant nudging each other to continue, we would have stopped.
And we wouldn't have seen what happened in the last 4 weeks -- MASSIVE GAINS. One day we
tried a specialized routine and added an inch to our chest measurements. In ONE DAY!
I put on 15 pounds of muscle and got 100% stronger. My next season as a gymnast, I
became All-American. All the work paid off.
So, what happened?
Well, the first couple weeks, our improvements came simply from getting more
coordinated. Knowing how to do a military press with proper form made it easier to do with
more weight. And the shock of doing something new made our bodies respond.
In the next few weeks, it was as if our bodies got the hint that this wasn't something
we were going to stop, so it prepared to handle the increased demands. This preparation
happened below the surface, as it were. We couldn't measure it or feel it, but it was
going on, nonetheless.
Finally, when our bodies were prepared, the additional work, and the consistent eating
and training kicked in and produced big changes, FAST!
This business is no different... except you don't have to eat as much.
When you first get started, the excitement keeps you moving. Then, as you start
learning and mastering new skills, it's possible that it might SEEM like things aren't
going as well, or as fast, or as easily.
But what's actually happening is that you're building a foundation. And when the
foundation is ready, the rest of the building can go up in no time.
Then, SEEMINGLY out of nowhere, things take off! And you can't believe the results
(even though they're the results you ALWAYS WANTED!).
Keep working consistently and diligently!
##### Today's Lesson - Your OWN FFA page #####
What you're about to learn is, for now, the most powerful online tool I've discovered.
Using this tool, I get about 1-5 new Affiliates per day, and all I did to make that
happen was 30 minute, one-time action.
Ready to discover what that is?
2 parts:
1) I set up my autoresponder with an ad pointing people to my SFI site. Then, I use
this address as my email address whenever I submit to classified sites, FFA pages, etc.
That way, anyone responding to me gets my ad sent to them AUTOMATICALLY!
2) Remember yesterday (I hope you do!) when you submitted to the FFA pages and, by now,
you got some automatic replies from the owners of those pages? Well, if *YOU* had *YOUR
OWN* FFA page, and hundreds or thousands of people submitted to YOUR page every day, you'd
be sending out hundresd or thousands of ads for your SFI site!
If you have a website and are familiar with CGI scripts and editing HTML, you can get
the code and instructions to set this up yourself.
##### Today's ACTION Plan - GENERAL #####
You can automatically send an ad that points to your SFI site to the owners of FFA
pages you submit to. How do you do that? When you submit to the FFA page, use the
autoresponder that you set up.
So what happens is this: you submit, the FFA page sends an automatic relpy to your
autoresponder, which sends your SFI ad back to the FFA page owner!
##### Today's ACTION Plan - FREE #####
*** OPTION 1 - Set up a FREE FFA page ***
If you have a site that will support cgi and you know how to edit HTML and text files,
and use FTP to upload files, get the FFA page code from
http://downlineonline.com/members/ffa/ and install the page on your site!
##### Today's ACTION Plan - FEE #####
*** STEP 1 - Set up your FFA page or let us do it ***
You can get an FFA page for a fee at:
http://www.mysimplesystem.com/d.cgi/137259
##### What's up for tomorrow #####
1) The ONE THING that separates success from failure!
2) The advertising medium that 90% of people online forget about... And how it can make
you a MINT!
I know this has been a LOT to digest, but don't worry, you're getting more than you
think you are!
Be well,
Steven Sashen
