There is a multitude of excellent self help books but my number one recommendation is Og Mandino's, "The Greatest Salesman In The World" because the principles of successful entrepreneurship are taught through the vehicle of a heart warming story that anyone can relate with. Being a SFI affiliate is also being a true entrepreneur.
How can I convince my downline of the benefits of having a Standing Order without them feeling pressured?

After the first month anyone that is a genuine home business entrepreneur will see the potential for income and wealth as an SFI affiliate. A Standing Order is the ground for success with SFI, its just a matter of what product that person likes or needs, such as the Liquid Nutrition for health conscious persons, the IAHBE membership for the "knowledge workers" or the T-Credit Standing Orders for the Penny Auction "gamers". In all business "it takes money to make money". Someone with a true entrepreneurial mindset does not feel "pressured" when presented with the SFI Standing Order options. Just give them the information.

How does one support all your downline affiliates if you have barely enough to support your own self?

If by "support" you mean financial support then it is impossible and inappropriate to support all your affiliates financially. For many SFI Affiliates it is even impossible to support one PSA financially. However we can give moral support and guidance to our downline affiliates. It doesn't cost money to give recognition and appreciation to those in our downline who are making progress with SFI. Tangible appreciation can be shown with gift T-Credits if you have some to spare. We all have to make financial sacrifices and take financial risks in any business, whether here on SFI or anywhere else. We all have to "pull our own weight" with an occasional helping hand.

What is the best strategy for earning quickly with SFI?

The best strategy for earning quickly with SFI is one that most can't apply when they first join and that is bring people on board with you. Real money is not made with SFI until you become a Team Leader with active EA2's. That generally takes time. Getting and staying on the VP "Fast Track" will get you to EA status and maybe even BTL status but maintaining EA status will eventually require a "Standing Order" purchase of at least 10 T-Credits. It is said over and over again SFI is not a "get rich quick scheme" and that is a true statement.

How do you explain to new affiliates what VersaPoints are and what they are used for?

Many new affiliates have a misunderstanding about what VersaPoints really mean in the SFI home business. VersaPoints are reward points SFI gives for the sales and activities of SFI affiliates. These VP "reward Points" figure in what affiliate rank status will be used in the SFI profit sharing revenues. The higher the VersaPoints based affiliate rank is the more shares one has of the profit sharing revenues. TripleClicks sales it "the bread and butter" of our SFI home business not VersaPoints. VersaPoints are just the "icing on the cake" when it comes to our SFI home business.

How will anyone find my SFI website when they search on Google?

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is what finding websites on Google search and getting traffic is all about. Using the right keywords is critical. I like using shopping keywords in promoting TripleClicks as well as e-commerce keywords. Business opportunities is not a good keyword to use because there are so many webmasters using that key word. Try to use an uncommon but relevant keyword to promote your SFI websites and blogs.
Why don't more people work towards advancing in SFI?
Affiliate since: 02/13/2013, Power Rank: 99999999
I believe most don't work toward advancing in SFI is because of the wrong perspective of what SFI is all about. SFI is the affiliate program and marketing system for the e-commerce site, TripleClicks. TripleClicks sales and purchases are what SFI is all about, not collecting VersaPoints. VersaPoints is the "icing on the cake". TripleClicks sales and purchases are the "cake". All people have to realize is to succeed with SFI everyone just has to do some "transfer buying". Instead of buying certain items from the neighborhood department store buy them instead from TripleClicks. VersaPoints, rank and most important earnings, will flow from all being faithful TripleClicks customers.

Should we recruit our family members into SFI? Good idea or not?

Jesus had a hard time getting his own family and home town to accept him as the Messiah. Many times family members are the most skeptical of our online marketing endeavors until they see we are making a lot of money. Once we start making significant income as an SFI "Team leader" it will be easier to recruit family members. Keep family members on the "back burner" in our SFI recruitment agenda. Yes recruiting family members into SFI is a good idea.

Successful leaders in SFI know they need only a "few good men" to have a successful SFI home business. They know if they sponsor five EA2's and help them to sponsor five EA2's then everybody will prosper with SFI. Successful SFI leaders are able to duplicate themselves. Successful SFI leaders are really "servant leaders" who are willing to serve and help their PSA's and CSA's in any way possible.

The ECA program is all about online advertising for local businesses and other online marketers with physical merchandise and digital products to sell. There is no upfront costs and TripleClicks acts as the payment processor for the customer and ECA member, a Win Win situation for all parties involved.
