Building a business is not about quantity but quality. You only need a handful of active affiliates in your first generation in order to have a large and steady income.

SFI recommends building a team of 5 active affiliates in your first generation and then just from these people alone your team will grow into thousands of affiliates up to 12 generations deep.

When you advertise you are playing a numbers game which means that you have to experiment in order to know how many people you need to advertise to in order to get one active affiliate. An example would be to advertise to 10-50 people to see if you get 1 active affiliate so if this works out then double your efforts to 100 people to see if you get 10 active affiliates and so on.

So I am saying that a small fire produces little heat so if you want more heat light a bigger fire.

That is if you want to get just 5 or 10 active affiliates advertise to about 50 or 100 people at a time until you find your go getters but don't stop there because you have to grow your team.

You must then duplicate your 1st generation so that they also Sponsor affiliates so then you must advertise to about 500 or more people to get about 50 or if you get lucky 100 active affiliates to distribute to your first generation and then you teach them to do the same so that you will have about 3 levels or generation so do you see a pattern? It is something like a family tree or genealogy.

So in order to build a handful in your first generation Sponsor small amounts at a time and then you grow your advertising gradually into larger amounts so that you can distribute to your first generation.

The moral of this is to advertise to a few hundreds or thousands at a time in order to get the diamonds that you need to succeed.

TripleClicks Simply put is an online shopping mall. You also tell people that as an SFI affiliate this is your source of income because you earn commissions when you sell products.

You also tell people how much money you save on purchases when you use member reward points and t credits, and how you also make money from the versapoints you accumulate from your own purchases.

Garage sales is also a very handy way to introduce Tripleclicks because we all have items that we do not use, and anybody would like to know how to make extra cash by selling unwanted stuff.

You do not need to give too much details because that will be overwhelming so you just tell people that this is a money making shopping mall. Then you show people the ways to make money as a TC member or SFI affiliate.

The answer I will give you is my personal opinion only. I recommend that you help your affiliates become Executive Affiliate 2 by acquiring 1500 VP in their first month by completing the getting started actions on the to do list and then another 1500 or 2000 VP by setting up a standing order.

The next step is to help them sponsor affiliates and build a team as soon as possible.

I only recommend them to be a team leader once they have a team of active affiliates both PSA and CSA so that they can gain enough matching VP to maintain the team leader rank.

In short do not allow your downline to become team leaders without having a team first.

I hope this answers your question.

I am telling you this
out of my own experience because I used to be a Bronze Team Leader for more than a year but I did not have a team so I had to spend more money than I. Could afford to maintain this rank but without a team I could not go on to the silver and the Gold etc...

So now I will go at it another way by staying EA 2 until I save enough money and be able to afford sponsoring and team building.

I only know about the TCredits and IAHBE but the SBuilder I never used it. I highly recommend TCredits which is a pack of 125 or more so you can have 1500vp or more every month. If you can afford to have another item then I would use IAHBE because it is a wealth of information and also freebees to download.

In My Standing order I have a pack of 100 TCredits which give me 1200 plus the 1500 I get from iahbe so I get 2700 every month.

TCredits provide you extra currency for purchases, auctions, and listings(Garage Sales). Importantly you can use them to purchase PSA's from the ECA's or winning them in the auctions.

an SO for consecutive months allows you to stack up lots of them even more than enough to assign to your downline so they too can bid at auctions or buy stuff that allows them to grow their business.

IAHBE: International Association of Home Business Entrepreneurs.

this gives you 1500 vp to maintain your EA status making it easier for you to become a team leader. In one single sentence this is a library of audio, ebooks and articles that allow you to learn different aspects of building a business, marketing and advertising. The wealth of info is so great here that I wouldn't have room to tell you all of it here.

SBuilder: I know nothing about this except that it provides you an advertising coop but you should not spend any money that you cannot afford to lose. I advise you to get information about this from fellow affiliates and your upline who have used this so that you can get a clear idea of what you are getting before you spend.

When I read your question the first thing that came to my mind was IAHBE now it is available to all SFI affiliates for free, you can also search google for other libraries like IAHBE so you can read and learn from the resources.

I don't recommend plagiarism because infringing copyrighted material is illegal but it is perfectly legitimate to study the contents and make and keep a journal of all insights you gain and then you can use it as content for your blog.

You can also go on you tube to look for Motivation videos and other videos about SFI and others about how to build a serious business.

You may even check out Amazon to down load the kindle app and see what content you can get there. If you also purchased good books on tripleclicks about Internet Income or Marketing that can also be excellent content. SFI also provides lots of information you can use for your blog and you can even make your own videos to put on Youtube and embed into your blog.

I hope this answers your question

The basics tell you 4 ways to make money and the compensation plan tells you 6 income streams but they all boil down to making money from Tripleclicks. Think about it SFI makes money from their ecommerce store selling products, so simply put you make money from the executive pool, and Tripleclicks pay you two kinds of commissions, direct from the PRM's and Co Sponsor from the CSA's, ECA referrals comes from Tripleclicks as well because you earn from the sales an ECA makes because you referred them.

Simply put you tell your affiliates that you earn money from Tripleclicks.com by the following referrals: TC members, Wave 3 members, ECA, and SFI affiliates.

The best way I can tell you is to take the Basics and compensation plan and boil it down to what I just mentioned above.

When you start a business the best marketing tool is yourself, by that I mean your own personal experience. When you start a business you don't make money right away but after two or three months you see a small amount of money coming in but a substantial amount can take anywhere between one or three years so as soon as you are making a good amount of money you can prove to anybody that SFI does work.

When you advertise no one likes to hear stories of other people because they do not know these people your prospects want to know what SFI has done for you and how you have benefit from it, so you prove with your own success that SFI has lots more benefits than just making money.

When you want to advertise a business or sell a product you have to tell a story and really converse with people, in otherwords don't just describe SFI's features because that is very BORING! What they want to know is how it will benefit them people don't care about features they want to know about what is in it for them.

So I hope this is useful

To tell you the truth I don't see the difference in either of them because the messages you send to your PSA's here on SFI they will also receive them in their personal email addresses unless they didn't white list and they never check their bulk folders. I know this from my two years of experience on SFI because my upline sends me messages on SFI or on Facebook and guess what happens? I receive notifications on my yahoo email address and I even get text messages from Facebook to my smartphone.

I think the geneology is the best mailer when it comes to sending group mails because you have more filtering options when it comes to narrowing your selection of PSA's or CSA's. The PSA mailer comes in handy because they have ideas of what to write when you do not know what to say to your downline. So in short I think the best way to contact your most active downline is here on SFI so that way they will also receive it in their email address.

I believe a website is more suitable for advertising than a blog because the content is more direct and straight forward and if it is just a one page thing like a landing or a splash page then that is enough to capture a person's attention. A website I think is more effective if of course it has your name and picture because that is how prospects know who is advertising to them and who will be their sponsor when they sign up.

A Blog I consider that this should be used for educating your prospects after they sign up because in this kind of setting you can put allot more information and keep updating as new info is available. The point is if you try to advertise with a blog too much information will overwhelm people and confuse as opposed to a website that is straight to the point is easier for people to understand what they are signing up for.

The first thing an affiliate must do is to white list the email addresses to their upline team and SFI in order to receive emails in the inbox and not the spam. The reason I say this is that a new affiliate does not know how to navigate the affiliate center,so the sponsor and co sponsor is their to guide them. In order for a new affiliate to get started with the to do list they must read the emails they receive so that they know where to begin.

E365: The first lesson they need to learn in the Launchpad is that they are automatically entered into this contest and that they must get the highest amount of Versapoints possible in order to stay above the green line so that they do not get eliminated. For more details they should read the info and the rules and also read day one of the launch pad lesson.

To do list: All affiliates old and new must work from this list everyday to accumulate versapoints. New affiliates become Executive Affiliate the first month by completing all the getting started tasks and the Launchpad.

Red Tabs: Must do this everyday to get 12 versapoints
.

This is very important because you are supposed to take your time to read and study all materials contained in the Launchpad, to do list,and red tabs in order to learn how to build a solid foundation for your business.
Don,t collect points without actually reading the material.

The first year of every affiliate is supposed to be a time for learning and building the foundation and also setting realistic goals and making a plan on how to achieve them

Communication is key in this business, every affiliate must have contact with their sponsor and upline team, by that I mean if you are a new affiliate who has been reading but has important questions to ask,or concerns to discuss then you must contact your sponsor/ or co sponsor by email , online chat or Facebook.

A2a and forum is a place to connect with other affiliates, this is something every affiliate should do. Affiliates are here to share ideas, or provide additional assistance to newbies.

Tripleclicks.com: No affiliate must ever miss this.It is important to visit the store to check out products, services and deals. The first product to purchase here is the Wave3 starting kit to become a member and get free stuff every month, esp. T Credits.

I wish you lots of success
