There are several things you can do to make SFI more exciting and fun for your team. One of my favorite things was to sponsor a contest such as the "Dash for the Cash". I set the requirement such as achieving the next milestone or a new highest milestone or making the leaderboads. The top affiliate is awarded a gift certificate of $50 dollars. I usually keep the team updated on the position of the key players in the contest. At the end of the month, the prize is awarded to the victor and they are recognized in my team mails as such. I also have a place on my leadership page where I keep such results.

Another way to keep SFI exciting for your team is to regularly award them PSAs for meritorious achievement. Many affiliates find it hard to sponsor other affiliates. They seem to be ashame to admit this but when you award them with matching PSAs for everyone they recruit, things can get a bit exciting. I remember when I didn't get any team messages. I logged in for a long time to see zero messages. I felt alone. So just a team mail every now and again can certainly be a bright spot in your PSAs day. Be supportive and accessible.

Finally, to keep SFI fun and exciting garner support for EagerZebra games. They are exciting and it's fun to show off your wins and badges. You can start a hang out or FB group. Share tips and strategies that will make you all better players without breaking any of the rules.

Yes, you should go for the rank of team leader asap because when you get there you will have a team! It may be small but it really only takes 5 movers to build a 6 figure income in about 2 years! This said, will your first few members all be superstars? It depends. The key is to keep recruiting and supporting those you have.

There are so many benefits to becoming a team leader but I'll just list a few:

1. More income potential. The larger your active network, the more money you will make.

"How do I promote the Signing Bonus and the opportunity to increase it to my new affiliates who have just received the $20 Signing Bonus?"

It is imperative to set the expectation early on about the signing bonus because the bonus can be increased to $100 only if certain conditions are met. So clear the air of any misconceptions that the bonus is immediately deposited into ones account: https://www.sfimg.com/Support/Solution?id=214592&referrer=search

However the bonus will be paid as 3% of the commission for up to 18 mos or until the full amount is paid which ever is shortest. After 18 mos if their remains any portion unpaid of the bonus it will be forfeited. Now, a plan is needed to motivate your PSAs to aspire to earn the commissions necessary to get the full bonus.

The first step to getting the bonus is to qualify. For the $20 dollar bonus, a PSA needs only to sign up. For the $40 dollar bonus, a PSA must become a silver fast track member. This entails 5 getting started actions and a $20 investment in a new member pack. Sponsors may co-op the cost of this with their PSAs so let your PSAs know if you are willing to do this. For the $100 bonus, the PSAs needs to do all of the previous and set a standing order equal to 1500 VP in the first 10 days to become fast start gold .

These look like lofty expectations of the surface but when you look at the term allotted of 18 mos, the earnings requirement is only $37.04/mo for the $20 dollar bonus, $74.07/mo for the $40 bonus, and $185.19/mo for the $100 bonus. These numbers can serve as benchmarks for your PSAs. How many units would have to be sold before a commission of $37.04 is realized, etc.? Well, that depends on what items are being sold. The 125 T Credit pk is are great option as it automatically qualifies as a 1500 VP order. The direct commission is $7.95 which means 24 units would put your PSA on track to earn the $100 sign-on bonus in 18 mos.

In light of the math, I would suggest that you take your PSAs through the process slowly. Don't tell your new PSA that they need to earn $3,333.33 to get a $100 bonus up front. You will certainly frighten them. Instead, just walk them through the daily actions and help them fast track qualify first. Then work with them to build a team of active affiliates using the reassignment tools. Let your PSAs graduate from getting started to learning how the compensation plan works. Teach them to do routine task first. Giving too much information can be as harmful as giving misinformation. Tell your affiliates that they are certain to get what they've earned and show them a little at a time.

"How do I encourage an affiliate to remain active when they feel they've been demoted?"

Losing rank is disheartening. So empathize with your team members as I believe we've all experienced this in one form or another. Then let them know that milestone achievement is just a matter of having the right combination of SVP and AVP. SVP comes from sales/purchases. AVP comes from actions taken from the ToDo list.

One of the great things about SFI is that it is so flexible and the compensation plan actually rewards ingenuity. There are many ways to accrue AVP. Just take a look at your ToDo list. With every set back there is an equal opportunity to excel. Teach your affiliates to learn from their mistakes. Whether it was due to poor planning or a lackluster effort losing rank can serve to motivate one to do better.

Thus, a better plan is needed and more effort required. Work closely with your team so that they have a clear picture of the goal in mind. This gives everyone a better sense of direction and certainty that milestone achievements can be sustained over the long haul. Remind them that if they did it once they can do it again and when they do show them a bit of appreciation.

On the contrary, I don't totally agree that you should reward lackluster performance but when you understand the extenuating circumstance perhaps you can still provide some merit just for encouragement. We understand fully that we all need to have a boost up. Pass criticism up and praise down. Don't ever 'beat up' on your PSAs or make them feel less important because of such demotion. Always let them know that you are there to help.

What are some of the best ways to advertise my business OUTSIDE of online social media?

The oldest and one of the best methods of advertising is word of mouth. Excitement sells and so does enthusiasm. Everyone loves the latest greatest thing. You can create this buzz by telling your friends and family that you just ran across a business opportunity that is nothing like Avon, Mary Kay, or Shacklee, or some of the other household marketing brands. Tell them that it is free to register, fun and exciting, and has unlimited income potential. I'm sure you will raise a few eyebrows and questions.

Likewise, you can use the print media. Depending on the publication, your audience is going to be very targeted and responsive to the right message in your ad. In Home Business Opportunities, you can say something like "Be Your Own Boss - No inventory - No Auto-ships - Get Started For Free!" Moreover you can do classified ads locally for local talent which would be cheaper than going into a publication with a huge circulation such as Home Business Opportunities.

Advertising exchanges do work when used properly. You have to be sure that you are using a squeeze page to capture the contact information for following instead of trying to go straight for the sell or conversion. These include text ad exchanges, link exchanges, banner exchanges, and advertising co-ops.

Your marketing is limited only by your imagination. So you can use anything and everything at your disposal such as business cards, SFI X Cards, TripleClicks T Cards, E Cards, flyers, QRC codes, car magnates, car placards, wearables, and the list goes on and on and on.

If you believe it is possible, then you can achieve it. Success is in the knowing but it takes doing to make it a reality. You can have faith. But without works, your faith is futile. So what good is it if you think you are capable and you don't execute? It is like a student who goes to medical school for 8 years, finishes, his/her residency and then fail to take the state licensing exam because they let circumstances dictate their success. All of that knowledge is locked away like kinetic potential. They can graduate and never become doctors until they pass the state licensing requirement.

So you believe that you are capable of building a successful SFI business? Then do it! If you don't believe, then why try in the first place. You have defeated your purpose before your journey even began. So I say to you, what do you think? Then that will be your outcome because it is your focus. Focus tends to gravitate toward what is important to you. Again, I say make your business a priority and focus on your success and you will be successful because when your mind is willing to work toward the right goal, God will help you perform it.

This is a very good question and I would say that it really depends on your income goals. Not all products are created equal. The product that is in the greatest demand is ideal but you must consider other factors as well when promoting products.

The product that is in the highest demand is T Credits! So I'd venture that you could make good money promoting T Credits using the new Eager Zebra gateway, the new KO Trivia Gateway, or any TripleClicks gateway. Indeed, T Credits are the No.1 currency that drives the TripleClicks marketplace. No matter how you slice it, it you are promoting the Eager Zebra games, and TripleClicks you can easily bank $300.00 every month.

Products that have broad appeal are electronics, and the nutriceuticals. There is really is a market for every product and every price range. So again, I emphasis that you must consider your goals. So products have good VP value and others have more of a total package.

What I recommend is to find a niche that you are passionate about and learn everything you can about how selling those products will affect profits. The DC for each commissionable product is found after you are logged into your TripleClicks account. Then all you do is pick a product by clicking on the product link and the last tab in the product info box will reveal the payout information. TripleClicks also has a filter built in so that you can sort and search by price, MRP, VP, and many other useful variables. Play around with it. You can't break it and you will learn a lot about which products will fit your goals.

Finally once you have a product to promote, promote it heavily everywhere you can. Be aware of your profit margin. In other words, if your commission is going to be 2.00 then you can't spend $5 dollars in advertising to make 1 or 2 sales. Instead use free advertising and then 2 sales will net you $4.00! Sure it costs you time so track your ads to maximize the return of your investment of time and money. Some products don't offer enough commissions to be worth the effort of trying to promote them. Other's can be very lucrative indeed.

When it comes to winning Price Bender auctions, the autobidder can be very effective if it is used properly. If not, you will waste a lot of T Credits that could have been better spent. The most effective way of using the auto-bidder is to do your homework on the auction that you are entering in. Item on auction, type of auction, the time of day and other variables are very critical. If you do your homework, watch an auction for the right time to enter the auction. When the time is right you can dump T Credits in and usually win.

However, every auction is different. You don't know who is watching an auction waiting for the right time to enter. That said you can do your homework and have a 'big dog' lurking in the shadows. These are power bidders with lots of T Credits. Unless you just want to throw away T Credits get out of that auction. Limits and the number of auctions will work to your advantage so be patient. Never invest more than you are willing to lose. Again, I say, Price Bender auctions are a win, win, win when you play appropriately. All of the gripes come from people who don't invest wisely. So lighten up, do your homework, and win some auctions!

This is a common problem with any type of opportunity such as this. Most folk are not willing to sink money into anything that they are not getting money out of. This is the reason why active people quit. It's not profitable for them to continue.

To prevent this, be very clear about goals and expectations right up front. Let your affiliates know that this is not a get rich quick scheme or something that you can do haphazardly. You must commit not to quit. No matter what. However, this doesn't mean spending 1000s of dollars on SFI to make only pennies in return. Everyone is hear to make lots of money. No one joined just to make a couple bucks. If you look at all the profiles of people who are active, the no.1 reason they joined SFI is to improve their lifestyle. Therefore give them a clear set of actions to take to help them achieve this goal.

To improve your lifestyle is to make an extra 3 to 5 hundred dollars then to grow that income into a 5 figure a month income. That's improving your lifestyle. When people stay in SFI for a year and make no money then somethings bad wrong. Everyone can make money with SFI in the first 3 mos. Few do because most quit in the first 30 days. The majority of the rest 'die' a slow miserable 'death' because they are not connected to a good sponsor or they fail to act on recommendations given by their sponsor.

I've been in SFI for over 7 years and if I had all the people that I've sponsored into SFI my team would be 3 times as big today. This doesn't bother me. What I concern myself with are the 45 or so affiliates who are hungry and want success. Those are the ones you can help. The rest you can only give them recommendations on schedule and if they decide to push through to victory help them get there.
