I follow all the Forum Gurus, well most of them anyway, and those who I think are their equivalent in the ASK SC, those who are consistently supplying top answers according to the votes.

I believe that they are the people with the knowledge and experience in this business. Their opinion matter to me and whenever I come across them on the Forum or ASK SC I pay close attention to what they have to say.

Regarding A2A friends, regrettably because of number capping, I have retained

This question cannot be answered simply by saying either auto-bidder or no auto-bidder and that is because both these can be used effectively to win auctions.

The auto-bidder can be great if you do not have the time to spend clicking bids and you have a large amount of TCredits. If you do decide to use the auto-bidder, I would recommend that you have a look at the auction in progress, determine how many bidders are on auto-bidder and then decide if you will do the same. Bidding against

Have you noticed how some affiliates never appear in The Forum? They never post anything. Even some of those who are of high levels seldom post anything?

I suspect it’s because English is not their preferred language and up to now you could only post in English.

I have encouraged some of my affiliates that are obviously struggling to understand SFI to not only ask me for help but also to go to The Forum, ASK SC and A2A. Most of these people are those for whom English is

There are many ways of earning AVP, much more than the 1000 you require. I shall list here the more common ways that are readily available

Login daily and action all the to-do lists.

Explain to your team members that transfer buying is simply shopping at TripleClicks for the everyday items that you are already buying elsewhere.

If you are buying soap from the supermarket you stop doing that and instead buy your soap from TripleClicks . Why?

When you buy your soap from the supermarket, you pay your money and you get soap. If however you buy from TripleClicks you get soap as well as additional benefits – No, huge advantages.

I recommend the following:

"FREE" Gateway (aka our "REAL" and "REAL2" Gateways):
http://www.sfi4.com/XXXXXXXX/FREE

To me this is the best of all SFI Gateways. The reason why I say this is because although I promote all the SFI Gateways, this is the one where I get the most hits and most conversions.

I do remember it as being the one that attracted me to SFI.

I suspect that the reason for this is because it is fairly

I have several suggestions here:

Hot deals. I would say promote those which are really 'hot deals' with say 60% or more discounted. If you do this, keep and eye on the deals and make sure they are still on special and remove them from your ad as soon as the promotion at TripleClick is over or the items have been sold out.

Women targeted products. According to statistics, the bulk of the online purchasers are women and they purchase primarily for themselves but also for their

The best method or variety of methods to use will depend largely on your locality and your circumstances.

The general method is to print out the flyers and post them on business bulletin boards and other places in your community. You will need to obtain the permission of the operators/owners of these business and community boards.

If you have a generous advertising budget you can have a large number of flyers printed and then
- have them sent out as inserts on home delivery

To put it bluntly - Work consistently and Work Smart. I would also suggest that you keep this in mind: Only you can do it for yourself, no one else.

From the day you join SFI do the following:

- Learn as much as possible about the business. Login daily, read and learn and carryout all the 'to-do-lists' and not just the ones you like.

- Be well versed with 'The SFI Basics' and do go back to it from time to time to refresh and to be refocused.

- Be bold

There are many benefits of being a BTL but to my mind the main ones really are the fact that your receive:

12 TC;
2 CSA minimum on achieving EA;
1 share of Second Home CSAs;
Matching VPs to level 6

These benefits / rewards can all contribute towards the well being of your business.

To maximize these benefits, I would recommend that:

- you use the TC for bidding for PSA/CSA/ and other such products that would help grow your business, downloading
