Hello William

Any financial budget is good to start with SFI as explained below:

OPTION 1 - FREE:

It is a myth that you need a budget to start your SFI business. As we know Time equals Money. That means if you do not have money to invest in SFI, you would require more time to invest and build your SFI business. You need more free advertising daily. Advertise of FREE safe lists daily. Also use traffic exchanges to rotate your gateways on Traffic Exchanges free every day. You can become an EA when you start earning more than $30 per month. It may take months/years depending upon your aggressiveness of your campaign

OPTION 2 - $60 per month

Purchase a standing order of 125 Tcredits for $ 36
Purchase a S-Builder unit for $ 22/24 a month.
This type of option gives you more time and funds for other activities such as playing Eager Zebra Games, bidding on Price Bender Auctions, downloading TC Music etc.

OPTION 3 – Any budget more than OPTION 2

You can have higher Standing Orders. You can purchase PSAs to go. You can bid more on Price Bender Auctions. You can play Eager Zebra Games more frequently. You buy Gift Certificates etc.
CONCLUSION: There is no fixed best option to start SFI business. You can even start your business free. Also you have unlimited investment opportunities in SFI. It depends upon your choice & circumstances.

Hope it helps you.

Have a nice day, William

"How much is too much when contacting your team or downline?"
In opinion, too much contacting should not be a problem whereas too less contacting can be termed as a problem. Let us assume you contact every day. You may not get reply to all your mails. Therefore you need to keep sending mails till he/she reads your. Your downline/team may not open their email boxes for days together. Therefore it becomes all the more important to get in touch with them through emails. But you can access email ids of your personally sponsored members and Co Sponsored Affiliates only.

Now let’s take the case of second, third, fourth etc. generation members. You cannot communicate with them through their email ids. Here you would require to use PM functionality. Where you can introduce yourself and communicate and offer your help. In my opinion, you need keep trying to contact all your team/dowline till you establish connection with all of them. Once the channel is opened, you can decide the frequency of contacting depending upon the level of understanding of each member. Some members need less guidance, others may need more.

If a person is quite experienced in SFI you can contact him/her once a week. If someone needs more help, contacting him with tips even everyday should not be considered as too much. So too much contacting for one individual may not be too much for another member. I hope my answer make some sense and it helps.

Hi Osaro

First of all we must understand what is PPA program. Glossary definition: Pay-Per-Action (PPA) Program.An SFI Pay-Per-Action program letting you earn up-front cash for signing up SFI affiliates, TC members, and more. Click HERE (www.sfimg.com/SFIPPA) for details.

Each time you generate a qualified SFIPPA action, you'll earn a bounty. The amount of the bounty varies depending on the action. The SFIPPA currently available (with more in the works) is:
SFI AFFILIATE SIGN-UPS
Bounty: Up to $10 for each qualified sign-up

These affiliates do not make your downline. They make up the downline of SFI. The next question is what are the best methods of generating them?

If you are persuing PPA, you can use the Gateway: Example: If you're pursuing SFI Affiliate Sign-up PPAs, you could use the gateway:
www.sfippa.com/XXXXXXXX/free

The best way to promote for PPA is to use the following:
Safe Lists
Text Ad Exchange Programs
Banners
Traffic Exchange Programs
Solo Ads
Social Media
iPads, SmartPhones etc.

Hope it helps. Happy advertising !

Cheers !!

Dear Michael Johnson!

It’s a common problem. In most of the cases after joining SFI, the affiliates start waiting for their sponsor to guide them step by step. They become dependent and stop reading the mail box itself. In some cases they even do not log in to their SFI account. But I would like to ask You why you need sponsor’s help?


You have the following channels opened for you to get help
1. If you visit the page: https://www.sfimg.com/Contact/ you would find “Affiliate Support Desk”
2. Contact SFI by phone
3. Your Co Sponsor & other upline members.


But my suggestion to you is please do not depend on any one. Be “Self reliant”
(a) Get Started in your SFI Business. Read every thing given there.
(b) Read SFI Basics and read all the links given on this page
(c) Read Launch Pad Carefully to understand what the SFI is all about.
(d) Read SFI Rules. Follow them & you need no one to guide you.
(e) Log in daily, complete your daily, weekly and monthly tasks on To-do-List
(f) Set up a Standing Order by becoming a member of IAHBE. IAHBE gives to all the tools, books, soft wares & other information to run your business efficiently.
(g) Read the lessons given on “Internet Income” on your SFI Page.
(h) After going through these many activities, you won’t search the help of your sponsor, but on the other hand, guiding your PSAs and CSAs like you can never imagine.
(j) Finally advertise your SFI & TripleClicks gateway regularly on Traffic Exchanges, Safelists, Social Media etc

Hope I was useful to you.

Hi Russel

The real source of income in SFI is the income from tripleclicks.com and its members as one sales occur, we get commissions: 45% or 15% as the case may be. Therefore it is most important ant to get as many TripleClicks Members recruited as possible.

What's more, all you have to do is refer a member once and they become your personally referred member for life! SFI takes care of all order processing, product shipments, and customer service for your customers, at no cost to you, and pays you a commission for every order placed by your members for life!

There are various ways to recruit tripleclicks members:

1. Make a blog or website and upload your tripleclicks banners from marketing aids on to your blog/website. Then promote your blog/website in Social Media networks like Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Digg, Bebo, Black Planet, CozyCot, Delicious, Fotki, Google+, hi5, Ibibo, MEETin, MOG, Netlog, tribe.net etc.

2. Use Safelist Advertising to send TripleClicks Ads to thousands of members everyday.

3. Use Traffic Exchange Websites to upload TC Gateways and surf the TE website one hour in the morning and one hour in the evening.

4. Use Text Ad Exchange programs to advertise your TripleClicks programs like ECA, Music etc.

5. Join few Solo Ads sending websites. Although you may need to shell out some money, but results would be great.

These are some of the ideas to get TripleClicks Members recruited. Hope it helps you, Mr Russell !

Have a Wonderful Day

Hello Rafeed

Both being an ECA and referring an ECA are good. But becoming an ECA is only good if you have your own products to sell or have a physical store, otherwise referring an ECA is much better for the following reason:

Simply refer companies that sell products to your ECA Gateway. For each that becomes an approved ECA, you'll earn 10% of the CV on all of their sales at TripleClicks.com. Plus, you'll earn an immediate 100VP when your ECA generates their first $10 or more in sales.

Earnings Example: The total CV for all of your referred ECAs is $20,000. You earn $2,000 in ECA Royalties this month (10% of $20,000).

The ECA referral program is very powerful because all you have to do is introduce an ECA to TripleClicks and you're all set to earn royalties for life! Every time anyone—anywhere in the world—buys something at TripleClicks from one of your referred ECAs, you earn a royalty!
Though there are virtually infinite ways to market the program, the bottom line is you just need to get your prospects to your ECA Gateway.

For specific strategies, see our ECA Training HERE.( https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/MarketingCenter?type=&shape=&color=&size=&language=&theme=&currency=&favorite=0&pg=1&form=MarketingMethods&category=ECA&goal=&difficulty=&free=) Or, see ECA marketing aids HERE.( https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/MarketingCenter?pg=1&form=MarketingAids&category=ECA&type=&free=&shape=&color=&size=&language=&theme=&currency=&favorite=0)

In referring, you don't any product of your own. No advertising, no shipping and no additional problems. Just once refer an ECA and earn royalty on his effort for the whole life.

Hope it helps

It’s an important & formidable question. But your income depends upon the income of your downline. So it becomes all the more important to help them & bring them equal to at least your own status in your SFI business.

Take the following actions:

1. Its not always necessary to help each & everyone of your downline financially, you can communicate effectively through emails, Personal Messages to provide them guidance & support by giving them links as they may be new and are unable to locate sources & links to get the most VPs.

2. Provide them information on How to do free advertising on Free Classifieds Websites, Free Safe Lists & Traffic Exchanges, Free Ad Exchanges etc.

3. Help them create their blogs to advertise SFI & sell TripleClicks Products. This will add to their income.

4. Finally you yourself can promote their SFI & TripleClicks links as you, as their upline, are more experienced than all of them.

Hope these actions are useful & will provide the necessary help, guidance & support.

Hello Rosman

Nice question to ponder upon. Everyone does not do the same thing otherwise all affiliate would be DIAMONDS.

As far as I am concerned, after I finish my To-Do List,
I do the following:

1. Advertise my SFI & TC gateways on Traffic Exchanges.

2. Send few SFI Ads, (text, solo and HTML) on Safe Lists,

3. Use Facebook, twitter, Linkedin etc. to post my TC Products/gateways.

4. I use the 'share & win' links of other ECAs on Facebook.

5. I answer questions asked on ASK_SC section,

6. I visit the ALERT tab and read the latest NEWS

7. I read few threads of the FORUM and learn about SFI/TC difficulties faced by the members and answers provided by Forum Gurus, Moderators or Gery Sir.

8. I check up my email to see if any of my down line has any problem. Then I try to guide, support or help him/her.

9. I post few banners of SFI/TC/Eger Zebra games on my blogs and Website.

10. No wonder, the result is I am GTL. However I need to maintain my Standing Orders.

Hope it should be enough for a beginner.

Wish you all Good Luck

Hello Nebojsa

Although, there are few ways to motivate the lazy affiliates in your team. Try these methods:

1. When a PSA joins you, try to establish contact with him/her because every thing will depend upon the communication. Communication is huge as it is said. Use email, e-cards or SFI Instant Message or PM (Personal Messages)

2. Tell them you will offer them 10 Tcredits if they login daily and complete their Daily, weekly and monthly actions.

3. If possible help them but New Member Pack by gifting them with TC Gift Certificates worth $20 (of course a costly method but it will repay you in the long run).

4. Assure them you are here as his/her sponsor who will guide, support and help them if they do their part honestly.

5. If nothing works out from the methods written above, then remember:

(a) There are four aces in a standard deck of cards, right? So you have this deck of card. Are you going to waste all your time, beating your head against a wall every day, trying to turn jokers and jacks and all the rest into aces? I hope not, because that's impossible! No matter what you do, there's never going to be more than four aces in that deck.

(b) So how can you get more aces? You have to go through more decks of cards of course! In SFI, that means you have to recruit more people. Keep recruiting, every day, and more aces will show up. Keep at it and you'll eventually build a team of aces that make you a lot of money. But it's a numbers games and it always will be. Plain and simple. Don't forget that!

(c) Here's a great old saying from the network marketing industry that I learned decades ago: "It's easier to give birth than to raise the dead." It is, of course, another way of saying, don't waste all your time trying to change people that don't get it. Instead keep bringing in new people and you will find your aces!

Hope it makes sense!
Have a nice day !!

Hello Milena !

1. Genealogy is a report that is also one of your most powerful resources in SFI. The Genealogy lists your PSAs, their PSAs (Generation 2), and so on, down to Generation 7 (G7).

2. Your Genealogy may not contain affiliates who have been inactive for six months or more, in order to prevent clutter in the report.

3. Use your Genealogy to manage your growing organization, send individual and group messages to your entire organization (or any segment), monitor sales activity, award gift certificates, reassign sponsors, and more. Access your Genealogy report HERE (www.sfimg.com/Reports/Genealogy). Available with a minimum 500 VersaPoints.

4. FILTERS

Apply filters to easily pull up subsets of your Genealogy. For example: You can pull up every affiliate in your group who joined on, before, or after a specific date and with a specific Key Code or rank.

5. Filter options may vary depending on the tab format you select and include these primary filters: SFI ID; Last Name; Sponsor ID; VersaPoints (Total); CSA Assign Date; VersaPoints (This month); Date Joined; VersaPoints (Yesterday); VersaPoints (This Month); VersaPoints (Last Month); Power Rank; Country Rank; Class Rank; City; Profile Score; Last Login; Sales VersaPoints (This month); Sales VersaPoints (Last month); TripleClicks Referrals; Language and E-Mail Address

6. You can add these secondary filters (to further refine your results):
Rank, EA2, Red Flagged, Goals Set For Current Month, Generation, Rank Achieved For The First Time, Keycode, Online, Anniversary Of SFI Sign-Up, Birthday, Leadership Challenge Qualifier, State, Country, Confirmed Registration, Added [email protected] To Safe List, Completed Affiliate Profile and placed Standing Order

7. Quick Filters

Check out these QuickFilters for fast access to information that can specifically help you identify affiliates who may need assistance, encouragement, recognition, etc.:

My Movers, New PSAs Today, New PSAs (In last 10 days), New PSAs (In last 30 days), New CSAs Today, New CSAs (In last 10 days),New CSAs (In last 30 days), EA Last Month, Not Yet EA This Month, New EAs This Month, New Team Leaders This Month, Team Leaders, Logins Yesterday, Logins In Last 10 Days, Inactive > 30 Days, Inactive > 60 Days, Inactive > 90 Days, Inactive 320-365 Days (Removal soon)

These filters are quite self-explanatory, you can apply them depending upon your requirement. In practice, CSA filter and Movers filter are quite sufficient for our success in SFI business.

Hope it helps
Cheers! Have a Nice Day !!
