I understand that the best payment option for any order is found by checking your payment options inside of your TripleClicks account. Each country has different payment options, and different ECAs accept varying payment options. So I recommend that if you don't have a suitable payment option available to you that you connect with a country leader from your country and ask them how do they process payments.
PayPal is widely used but it is not the only option available and it is not accepted by all ECAs and countries alike. You can get a list of accepted countries for PayPal from their site at paypal.com PayPal is not available for your country then you can see if Bitcoin, Payza, OkayPay, Solid Trust, E-Gold, or some other payment processor will be a good fit for you and TripleClicks' merchants.
The bottom line is that you should use a payment processor that works for you and is widely accepted on TripleClicks. This problem was solved with TCurrency. So you can use whatever means of currency you have to buy TCurrency from verified sellers in your country. Then use the TCurrency to pay for anything you like.

What advice would you give to an SFI affiliate who wants to create and maintain their own SFI website?

An affiliate that wants to maintain their own site should do so with the understanding that they should not misrepresent TripleClicks, SFI, Carson Services, or any of their affiliates. Other that this, be sure that you website is within guidelines of your affiliate agreement.
Moreover, any affiliate that maintains a site promoting SFI can build a great list of followers for themselves. Having your own SFI related site differentiates you from the crowd. You can present SFI in the best way that you understand it as long as your understanding is valid. Too much information only confuses new affiliates so a real simplified version is in order. A video that explains the basics and some of your best tips to make EA and beyond.
Finally, with your own domain you can control the content on your sit. You don't have to have a 1 stop shop like TripleClicks. Again, too many options just confuse. So 1 theme and about 6 products that you change periodically is all you need. Of couse, don't forget to highlight the crown jewel of our compensation plan: PriceBender Auctions!

How do you turn affiliates' EMPLOYEE mentality...to a BUSINESS OWNER mentality?

Having the right mentality is key to success for SFI. So the right mentality can be cultivated through inspirational information. Whether it's quotes about success or a book that you recommend, you need to give your affiliates the right information so that they understand that their success in SFI depends on them and not you. You are their to guide them but not to create handicapped affiliates. Be sure to set the expectation early on and require achievement for reward.
However there are certain attitudes that you want your affiliates to have. Employees take directives from their superiors and you do want your team to follow your recommendations. While we are all independent contractors here at SFI so to speak, our success is tied to the success of our network. So just like employees we have to all work together toward a common goal or you will not get far with your business. Employees expect to be compensated and so do business owners. Therefore make it clear, how earnings are accrued and to get paid affiliates must qualify per the compensation plan.

How do you explain and promote transfer buying to your team members?

The best approach to transfer buying is to present it as a customer rewards program. The term simply means to shop TripleClicks for many of the items that you would normally buy from the corner store. Why? The main reason why is for the customer rewards. There are many products that are consumable found on TripleClicks like detergent, air freshner, candles, cleaning supplies, nutriceuticals, and many more. Thus instead of buying those items from the corner store and receive no loyalty discount buy from your TripleClicks superstore and be rewarded every time you shop! It's an awesome concept and one that is coming of age in retail. Many of the major retailers are coming up with customer rewards programs of sorts. But none of them have anything like TripleClicks.
In the end, all you do is share your enthusiasm that you are an exclusive W3 member and every time you shop you get more than what you bargained for. Everyone loves a bargain. Top that off with the chance to win $250 for referring other W3 members and practically everyone will want to be a part.

Is there such a thing as helping your affiliates TOO much?

You can never help the right affiliate too much. Some you can't seem to help enough. So find a balance that works for them and for you. Many affiliates want you to hand them the six steps that leads to 5,000.00 a month income in SFI. I can give it to you in 1 word. Work! It will take effort to find what is best for your best. True success does leave clues but my success is just that mine. There success should be just that their success.
I've had people ask me to do the work for them. For those people, politely tell them no. When my affiliates make milestones I reward their effort. When they do nothing they have my support mails weekly and when they are ready they can get more help but it will be based on their effort to reach out to me and not always my effort to do and reach out for them. Let your affiliates grow up to be good strong marketers. If they need your help and want your help they will ask for your help. Otherwise, trying to drag them along is not the way to lead them. This is wasted effort on your part.

I have $500 to invest in my SFI business. What are your recommendations on the best way to use this money?

First of all, let me say that 500 is a good start but not the end all be all solution for your advertising budget. I have spent thousands of dollars promoting Strong Future International and I've earned a return on that investment in more ways than just profits. That said if I had $500 to invest in SFI knowing what I know now after seven years of doing this, this is what I recommend.
1. I'd invest about 2/5 of it in self education. There are tons of courses that you can take that will make you a better marketer. Once you learn how to recruit PSAs with paid advertising you will be in a very profitable position to grow your business.
2. I'd set aside 1/5 of it for buying T Currency. You can use this to reward your movers with Gift Certificates to help them maintain and achieve milestones.
3. I'd invest 2/5 of it into purchasing PSAs from from the S-Builder, PSAs to go, and other reputable ECAs.
Never forgot the ultra simple SFI Basics - Refer PRMs. Sponsor PSAs. Duplicate!

The benefits of becoming a W3 member are:

4. Instant access to the TC marketplace where shoppers are rewarded for their purchases
5. Instant access Hot Deals, Daily Deals, and closeout merchandise
6. Instant access to Strong Future International's compensation plan
There is much more underneath the surface but suffice it to say that the W3 program is one of the most innovative frequent shopper rewards program on the planet.

What is the best use for the MRP I earn?

Greetings!
The absolute best way to use your MRP is to keep them and redeem them for great merchandise from the MRP store. That's not the only way you can use them but in my humble opinion it is the best. The name says it all. That's why you get them - for being a loyal member. Non-members can't shop the membership rewards store.
An affiliate logs in after a long period of inactivity. Should I acknowledge this? And if so, what should I say?

Whenever an affiliate shows interest, your main goal is to show them support. We are not bosses. We are mentors and should be excited to help grow our down line. Their reason for being inactive is there own but not they are trying to succeed. Capitalize on this. Forget past failures and let it be water under the bridge.
To build rapport, ask the affiliate "What is the number 1 goal you wish to achieve in the next 30 days with your SFI business?" They will tell you most likely to make some commissions. Focus on the activities that produce income such as promoting Pricebender auctions, and selling TripleClicks merchandise. Give them a solid plan that will help them reach their financial goal and tell them that they must commit to following the recommendations daily. There is a lot of merchandise on TripleClicks for every budget and practical application. Tell them to start with people they know and then work out a promotional strategy that will attract visitors to their TripleClicks gateways. Tell them to pick a strong selling product with broad appeal.
Finally, assure the affiliate that you are there to support them 150% but they must commit to the goal 150%. Every intelligent person knows that there is no such thing as a free lunch. So continue the positive dialogue and answer any questions that the affiliate has. You will be delighted to see them achieve their goal but better yet you will gain an active affiliate as you build on the business relationship.

How could posting in your native language in the My Country or My Region categories in the forum help build your SFI business?

Posting in your country or region will help build your SFI business because you are sharing your expertise with other SFI affiliates. This will cause greater growth at TripleClicks and encourage competition which fuels the marketplace. The crux of all we do is sales and networking. So the larger the network, the more potential sales to flow into the executive pool. Every affiliate has equal opportunity to share from the pool.
As the old adage goes, " A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. " When we share quality content at the forum it becomes a seed bed of learning and fosters collaboration and growth. Team members can collaborate with each other in their native language about things that are happening right where they live. From a business perspective this first hand knowledge of the local marketplace is very valuable. Strategies can be formulated and discussed openly to benefit the whole. Everyone gains in this way.
