I send Team Mail to everyone, PSA or CSA. My sponsor has only contacted me once or twice since I have been here, even not answering when I asked for her advice. I learned from this that many sponsors never contact their downline.

I had a CSA contact me because I had given him some TCredits when he made Executive Affiliate. I told him that I would be giving him a gift certificate at the beginning of the month so that he could either get IAHBE or something else to help him have 1500 VP

I am a member at several Social websites and some of them don't have any SFI members that I know of, so I put the links there.

I have gone to several stores and put up flyers, I am looking into having someone put them on cars at the mall and Walmart.

Join Wave3 and get extra stickers and lots of x-cards. Then ask friends to keep the cards (and flyers about SFI and TripleClicks) handy in their car and put a sticker in their window. When someone asks about it they can give them

If nothing else, you have the chance to gain experience in sending team mails.

Whereas your upline may not have had the time or been able to motivate the re-assigned affiliate, you may not have many, so you may have more time to give toward getting to know the PSA. This might help you be able to motivate them and then they would become active.

We never know what we say that motivates someone. You may write to them once a week for months and never have a response and then they

Start with the Start button. When you understand everything there, move to SFI Basics. Once you understand that, move to Launchpad. Don't try to do more than you can understand at once. Work through the lessons. After you have finished them, go back through them as needed until you understand everything well enough to move to the Internet Income Course. Take your time.

Read through all of the Forum posts on your Home page. Keep up with the news. If you have questions, ask. Your upline

There was a person on the forum who was ready to quit. I could tell by what he had written that he didn't understand because he was not really English speaking. He even said his English was not good. I told him that he should get a translator first and see if that helped him because he would be missing out on a lot if he quit. He sent me a message back and told me that he had gotten a translator and now he was excited because he could understand the training.

This is one example, but I

For SFI affiliates, what is the most overrated activity...and what is the most underrated activity?

The most overrated activity is earning VP. VP is pushed at the beginning as a means to get the affiliate into the Executive Pool so that they will earn money, however, we all know that these early earnings are minute in comparison to what will come if we work the business. This is really more for learning to work a business and build it up.

There is a lot of information available on the SFI site ob a daily basis, so encouraging affiliates to come here and explore the site daily is important,

I have found safelists to be very effective. In the first place, I was recruited through one. Secondly, it doesn't take long to review others' ads - maybe 10 or 20 seconds to earn points. Then you can advertise to several thousand people through the safelist for free by using your points.

There are also free classified ads and/or online sales pages that will let you advertise for free or for a small amount.

Never forget social networks. I am a member of one that promotes its

Offline marketing can include things such as posting fliers at grocery stores, laundromats, colleges, community centers, gyms...anywhere that people allow you to post. You can use the ones with your number and email or your SFI link on ter off strips at the bottom or you could put several in a place where people can pick them up. Sometimes even the library will let you post.

Another thing would be to line up some ECAs and ask if you can leave some fliers or gift cards in their store. A

There are many methods. It may depend on where you live. If you are in an area where you can post flyers in laundromats, grocery stores, libraries or any other public bulletin board, then you might try printing the available flyers and Q-codes and posting them. Join Wave-3 and when you are parked somewhere someone may ask about TripleClicks. Getting into a discussion of this type could also lead to a discussion of SFI. If you can afford an ad in your local newspaper's classified section, place one.

Someone already said Think and Grow Rich, which is probably the number 1 best book, but also up there with it is Rich Dad, Poor Dad. this book shows the different mindsets between the rich and the poor. Not quite as good as the time honored Think and Grow Rich, it is working its way to the top of anyone's list.

Other types of books would be those concerning internet traffic, advertising, marketing methods, etc. They are all good for business. And let's not forget that wherever people must
