First of all, in almost 4 years, I don't think that I have ever had a new PSA answer my opening chat. The first one before they log off for the first time. Maybe they've already left their computer but didn't log off, or they didn't see the notice for the chat, or they thought it was a spammy pop up, or they were freaked out because they thought we could see everything they were doing.

I wouldn't want to do a business where I thought that by logging in, I was opening up a window that lets

Is it worthwhile to sponsor affiliates who speak little English or have very limited computer/Internet experience?

Is it worthwhile to whom? I think of the story about an old and a young man on a beach. The old man bends over, picks up a starfish and Frisbees it into the water and then walks to the next starfish and does it again. After awhile the young man has to ask, "Do you think what you're doing matters?"

The old man replies solemnly as he again casts a starfish into the sea, "It does for that one."

Sure, when we get into SFI we want to make money fast. But there

I strongly believe that we should never make a decision for someone else without his knowledge or permission. HUH? I am sitting here with a pile of ECA brochures and x Cards and a town full of businesses that could use more sales. While the brochures have cost me money and I don't want to waste them, I have them to give out. I have a solution for their economic well being, and both the businesses and I would profit if they became active ECAs.

I am so tempted to look at one business and

When starting out in SFI, is it better to invest in advertising or in an EA-qualifying purchase?

When you are just getting into SFI, it is better to work at getting yourself trained and the framework of your business put in place. While you are working on your ToDo List, it is wise to buy at least one share of the S Builder coo-op each month in a standing order.

With the 500 AVP for doing the Daily, Weekly, and Monthly tasks and the 280 SVP for buying the S Builder, you only need to earn about 750 AVP from the To Do List each month. That will make it easier for you to reach EA2 for

Recruiting PSAs or ECAs--which will generate the quickest income?

Technically by the book, you can begin to amass some money from new PSAs almost immediately, but you will not take possession of it until the tent of the next month. And by the book, you can likewise begin to amass royalties as soon as your new ECA posts his first product and it is sold, and delivered. This may take as few as 4-5 days. You can get that money immediately or within a few days.

Realistically, neither of these amounts are likely to be a good hefty chunk of change. Instead

What is the best way to explain either to a prospect or a new affiliate the relationship between SFI and Tripleclicks or Pricebenders?

SFI provides the mechanics for building and running a network marketing business. This is where we learn how to do it, enlarge our network by recruiting new members, and advertising all of our gateways and products and services. This is basically the doing part of the business.It is the skeleton upon which TripleClicks hangs the rest of the body.

TripleClicks is the side-kick of SFI. Without each other the business would not function as one of the largest internet affiliate businesses

As someone who is still trying to fill out your Diamond floor plan, I think you should spend your time, effort, and money on recruiting for yourself and team.

With the low rate of activity that we see in our new PSAs, you will have to sign up many for yourself. Also, you would not find very many active sign ups who would do what is necessary for you to make the $10 or less from the program.

And, $10 is not much compared to what you would be making from one PSA if he should

How to use translation to effectively communicate with PSAs from other countries while using SFIM (SFI Instant Messaging)?

Since the SFI IM does not include a translator, we must use another Translator that we find does a decent job of translating our words and our meanings. When using it, put it on it's own window and keep both windows open. Then write your message into the translator and copy/paste what comes out into your IM. Do the reverse for incoming messages.

Perhaps this question should have been worded differently. Just what is the question? Most people are answering it as if the question asks how to become an EA or more likely, an EA2.

The question asks how do you make more vp? More than what? More than after you use up all the easy points? Why not just answer: do the full business as it is intended to be done? That's right. Earning and keeping EA2 will never make you rich. That's only a temporary goal. A stepping stone upon which you

Is it wise to offer non-SFI related incentives to my CSAs and PSAs? For example, create a standing order and get a free DVD?

Because of duplication, I recommend that you use SFI related products to reward your PSAs and CSAs. There are many marketing tools that many will not buy because of the shipping cost. There are TCredits, Gift Certificates, S Builders co-op Shares, and maybe a few more, like the new W3 memberships, that have no shipping costs.

With duplication in mind, remember that your downline as well as your children, will copy what you do. If you give out non-SFI products, they will buy outside SFI.
