Hello!

I've noticed that Affiliates mostly do one of these two things:

1 - They use their blog to promote SFI and TripleClicks directly. Their goal is to attract PSAs and PRMs at the same time. They speak of the benefits of the program, advertise current HOT DEALS or CLOSEOUTS, and PriceBenders Auctions. In addition, they use banners and splash pages to additionally advertise SFI and TripleClicks.

2 - Others write a blog about something they are interested in, or

Hello!

Don't worry, a lot of people (and affiliates) here were self-made. One can succeed in SFI even without the sponsor, because the system itself is very helpful.

Do your thing, read and learn, experiment, and get ideas and answers to your questions from:

- the Forum
- Ask SC
- Co-sponsors and upline
- Support tab on your Homepage (Glossary and Site Map are there)
- Support from the bottom of your SFI Homepage ( 24-hour Knowledge Base, SFI Help

Hello!

It is difficult, because we normally don't mention investments when we recruit and start sponsoring people. On the contrary, we keep saying SFI is free and won't ask for your money. So it seems dishonest to ask for it later, especially as soon as the second or the third month into the business.

I think that people who have marketing experience and the know-how will not need a Standing Order because they will already earn enough points through sales, straight from the

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

Hello!

Most answers focused on whether your family members are 'SFI material' - teachable, business oriented, trusting, etc. I couldn't agree more - it is very important. But I would also like to say that you need to think about this:

How do you feel about being a sponsor to your family members?

* Do you think you can gently suggest what they are doing wrong, without harming the harmony? :)

* Can you see yourself giving them incentives in a way that doesn't

Hello!

I have an ECA on my own and your question really made me think if I am doing the right thing with my ECA posts.

You know that when we post news to our ECA TConnect news feed, it is also automatically posted to SFI’s STREAM. And every affiliate who has connected to our ECA will see what we have to say while doing his/her Daily tasks. There is more than a million affiliates, try connecting to as many as you can, and then share news about:

- your new products

Hello!

In my opinion and experience, the best prospects are people who have recently started their own business, even those who only do it part-time. They don't have their own physical stores, it's online-only. This is becoming an increasingly popular start-up model, and we could use it. They are still advertising only on social networks such as Facebook, and will certainly be able to see advantages of becoming an ECA.

So, think of people who make home-made products, digital

Hello!

I'm just a beginner when it comes to referring ECAs, but here's my experience.

Everybody focuses on WIIFM (What's in it for me factor), so I show them that I know what problems they face and how Tripleclicks solves them - namely, some people already 'sold' things without getting the money in the end. With Tripleclicks, it cannot happen. Also, advertising is expensive, and this is the way to advertise for free, worldwide! With affiliates (who somebody else pays!!) selling

Hello!

Have you checked them out? Wouldn't you like getting one? I send them to my team, as a reminder I am there for them.

I am there for their special occasions - such as birthdays and anniversaries, and to congratulate them, on their success or wins in PriceBenders, Daily Grand, or other games.

I am also there to help, motivate the ones who are thinking of opting out or are inactive.

I am there from day one, saying Welcome to the team.

As other affiliates, and SFI task of putting up a photo explained, the idea behind having a photo in the first place is to show you are a real person.

Some people chose family photos, some wear suits, others have a photo next to a car with a Wave 3 banner... you must have seen many different pictures in your A2A tab.

What do you prefer? What is a good photo in your opinion? I have noticed that people in our team who decide to stick with us are much like us, in many ways. So,
