Always login daily and earn all the easy VP from your To Do list. Be sure to set your monthly goals before the 10th of the month so that you have goals to work toward. Also, rate your Sponsor & Co-Sponsor.

To maintain at least a rank of Executive Affiliate, you will need 1500 VP by the last day of the month. To achieve this, you may choose to have a standing order of 100 TCredits that will give you 1200 VP and only cost $29. You will easily earn the 300 VP that you need to total

My suggestion is to use traffic exchanges, safelists, classifieds and social networking sites. There are so many of them to choose from. To find them, just do a Google search. Don’t settle just on the top 10 or so from your search. Also post flyers with your SFI ID# wherever you can around your town. See the Marketing Center for Aids & Methods. https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/MarketingCenter

You will probably see ads and banners from many other SFI affiliates. Try to find

Good question. I have to admit that I have yet to make use of all the resources available to us when it comes to marketing outside of the home. So far, I have printed out the various flyers in the Marketing Center with my ID# and post them on bulletin boards around my neighborhood. I make sure that it is ok before I hang them up.

I am also a Wave 3 member and I have the TripleClicks decal on my van. I have been asked by a few people when I am out what it is and if they are interested,

Hi. I’m not sure if you mean the best classifieds to advertise in or if you mean where you should place your ad within the classifieds.

Google top classifieds sites or best classifieds sites and you will come up with many hits that include lists of classified sites.

Pick a few to try. Write a few ads and post them in several geographic areas on different classifieds sites. For example, if you post in Craigslist, you can place your ad in the Jobs section or in Small Biz

Is it possible to be successful in SFI even when your PSAs and CSAs do not work or have stopped working?

It really depends on how you define success.

Just because your PSAs and CSAs have stopped working doesn't mean that you can't sponsor new affiliates. Keep on advertising or, if you have the money, invest in S-Builder. Also, you never know when your inactive PCAs or CSAs will become active, so keep on including them when you send out your newsletters. All you really need for success are 5 hard- working affiliates.

Keep in mind that there are other ways you can earn in SFI.

Great question!

When you get a new sign-up, welcome them within 24 hrs or sooner and introduce yourself. Let them know that you are there to offer assistance. Avoid no contact or not sending a welcome right away.

Keep in touch with your team. Send out a weekly newsletter to your entire team. Avoid, not having contact with your team even if many are inactive. You never know when someone will be motivated to come back.

When someone in your team asks you a question,

Hi Howard,

I have given this a great deal of thought myself. I did create a blog to promote SFI and TripleClicks but it is not being seen by many even though I advertise it.

My advice is to create a blog about something that you are passionate about like sports, crafts, parenting, reading, shopping, traveling, movies, food, etc. Give your blog an easy to remember name. Then place SFI & TripleClicks banners on the page.

You can also have an SFI/TripleClicks

I am delighted when I receive TCredits from my Sponsor. It really is a motivator for me to keep going.

You can transfer up to 10 TCredits to a team member at a time. When you communicate with a team member, let them know that you will reward them with X number of TCredits, for example, if they reach Executive Affiliate rank by the end of the month. You can also have contests where you reward with TCredits or offer them as an incentive. Just direct your team members to your Leadership

The first thing to do is to make sure you understand the question. You may need to ask some open-ended questions to clarify what is being asked. Then, repeat back in your own words, the question being asked.

Be honest and say that you are unsure of the answer, but will do some research and get back to them in a specific period of time with an update.

Once you understand the question, you can enter a keyword(s) in the search box “Looking for something? Find it here” at

What is the best way to convince someone who is over 50 that they should get started with SFI?

First of all, be careful that you don’t insult them by pointing out that they are older. Some people really mind having their age pointed out!

In the US, people over 50 are still working full-time jobs and will probably stay working until they are between 65 – 70 years old.

This is a great age to get started in SFI as many people over 50 are starting to think about their retirement. It is the time when people start thinking if their savings and pension will be enough to
