Hi Snezana!
Understanding is power.
To know how to advertise if you want to reach a specific target group.
Firstly you do planning here before advertising. When you do planning you work backwards. After planning, when working, you work forward.
This kind of planning will need research. Before doing research you need to know the 'specific target group',
1. When knowing your target group,
2. You need to understand your target: (What they like, what will attract them, etc.)

Hi Carl!
To get your affiliates to become SERIOUS business builders in SFI, you must first make it clear to them that this is not a job, but their own business. Take out the employee mentality.
Mentor, guide and motivate them. Show them, by example, how TC/SFI works and how to make money at TC/SFI. There are many ways to make money here. Let them chose which way do they prefer to use while learning other ways.
If this is done and they are aware that they must make their own salary,

Hi Cornelis!
Technology is advanced. If you need to determine beforehand what are good spots to advertise. You need to know your target first.
The good spot to advertise is where you will find lot of your targets.
When you know who your targets are, do a search online. When you search online you will find exactly the places you want. You can then search which one has more traffic then when you find it, that's your good spot.
On social networks, you can search your targeted groups

Hi Sasa!
I for one. I believe it is far better to link your ads to SFI Gateways than your webpage/blog.
SFI Gateways looks professional and they have the right basic information that will attract your prospects. If necessary, they provide links for more information. They have fresh updated information. They get updated when SFI updates.
Your webpage/blog might not look professional. It might contain unnecessary information or even wrong information if you misunderstood something. Sometimes

Hi Sheila!
This question takes us back on being an awesome sponsor. To be an awesome sponsor, you must lead by example.
People fear success because they are afraid of the unknown. If you, as a sponsor, you are already there, it won't be an unknown to them, it will be something obvious. Because you did it or you are doing it, then it will be obvious for them that they can do it too, they won't have fear.
You are the bridge to their success. If the bridge is strong they won't have fear

Hi Deniece!
As it is always said that we must lead by example. It is important that you, as a leader, you read SFI news, LaunchPad, etc. After reading those things, share with your team members by giving them the links and encourage them to read.
Participate in the Forum and Ask SC. Show your team members the badges you achieved by participating there. When they participate in the Ask SC and Forum, they will see the need to acquire more knowledge and that will lead them to read a little

Hi Nnamdi!
When promoting Prizebenders™ Penny Auctions to your prospects, tell them that it allows them to bid on and win hot, name brand products for a fraction of the retail price (typically more than 90% off)! Tell them that every auction starts at just one cent, with the price going up by just one cent more for each bid placed. The result is usually a jaw-dropping low price and it only needs 1TCredit to participate in it! They can win free TCredits to participate in it by entering T-Time

Hi Carlos!
There is no need to worry about cultures and time zones in order to manage your team. SFI is personal business. Everybody will run it according to their way and their culture. As a team leader, you just lead your team by example. SFI is your leader/example. SFI helps you without worrying about your culture and your time zone. You must also do as your leader, SFI, does.
You help your team to understand how SFI works. how to make money, here at SFI and how to grow their team.

Hi Julius!
My most important goal is that my SFI business is running and is giving me more than enough in my Residual Income and Leveraged Income in 5 years time.
Presently, I'm 49 years old. I joined SFI last year June. Since I was growing up, I had plans about my life. I did achieve most of them. The remaining one is this of retiring at 55 years of age, the latest, 60 years of age.
It is promising that I will achieve it because SFI has introduced new things to help us boost our businesses,

What are the drawbacks to using link cloaking software?

Hi Alvin!
The main two drawbacks I know about link cloaking software is that they are full or viruses and they are too prone to hackers. The hackers can break in to steal, change or destroy information. Other affiliate marketers can easily hijack your affiliate links and steal the commissions that rightfully belong to you. If you're promoting affiliate links without hiding your affiliate details, then all a potential thief/hacker has to do is replace your affiliate ID with his own ID while making
