"How can I build a successful SFI business when I have a team of inactive affiliates and doubtful customers for my TripleClicks store?"

Building a business of any kind is plagued by challenges of different kinds. For those of us who are serious about building our business here at SFI, we have to deal with having numerous inactive affiliates. As we all know our success is determined by the level of our affiliates’ activity or lack thereof.

I must say it takes patience, lots of it. I am struggling with this too. However, working with those willing to work is a start. We only have to rely on them being and keeping motivated. Sending uplifting messages and Team Newsletters with the hope that some who are inactive will become active is one way of showing them that SFI is a real business, while at the same time motivating those who are working. We must bear in mind that some people joined because of curiosity. If you continue sending updated news and success stories to your affiliates then chances are that some will be encouraged to return. When they have return, the task is to keep them working and motivated. Keep the lines of communication open, use different means of communication, share your duplication strategies, and accept suggestions. This way your team members will feel valued and will eventually work!

By nature we are doubters and in our quest to find something that works we second guess and even triple guess a program if it seems workable. In terms of TripleClicks, purchase items and wear them or take them along with you when advertising. Using your computer or handheld device to show what the platform looks like, how it operates, the current number of ECAs, the number of listed items on sale, and even giving them a gift card for them to experience TripleClicks. These are just some great strategies that can be used to show the legitimacy of the program.

All in all, only your best is good enough! In time your level of determination will pay off.

Keep focused and have a good week!

Hi:

This is a very important question for many of us. I would encourage you to think about the purpose for which you will be using your commission. If you will be using your commission for online business then I think it would be best to use your PayPal account if you have one or open one mainly for this purpose. This way you have easy and quick access to your money.

When it comes to accessing the funds from your present locations to finance personal and local expenses the Payoneer Debit Card I believe would be best suited. Remember that you can only apply for the debit card if you have earned US$20 or more in commission if you live outside of the United States. In addition, withdrawal cost is somewhat costly if you do not live in the US. This means that if you live outside of the USA you have to be smart when it comes to using the card. The up side is that you have instant access to your commission as soon as it is added to your card given that the card can be used in your country.

Although checks have a lower processing fee attached to it, however consider the length of postal time. Can you wait for about 2 months to receive your check (base on your geographical location)? Will the bank or banks in your area willing change the checks?

When considering which method of payment best suits you, make sure to think about each as it pertains to your country.

All the best!

"Since SFI has been around for many years, is the playing field fair for someone who have just started in SFI like me?"

Being in operation for 16 years means that SFI is a successful business. It also means that there are more seasoned affiliates with the skills and knowledge of what it takes to operate in an online business environment. For you as a newbie, it means you have a lot of experienced individual to ask for assistance. Remember, they were newbies once.

Bear in mind that each month VP starts anew and each member has to repeatedly earn their EA status. The more experienced affiliates may have several standing orders and even a business which has a high or average sales rate or several websites advertising SFI and their respective businesses.

The question is what skills do you bring to SFI?
What are you willing to do to succeed in SFI?

The opportunities that are available to the experience affiliates are the same opportunities that are available to you. It is up to you to make use of the available opportunities and online resources to excel in this business.
Get to know the business, seek assistance when the need arises, use whatever skills and knowledge you may have, be creative and innovative, read a lot, and grow as the more experienced affiliates have grown.

The playing field is level you just need to apply yourself.

Hope this helps.

Hi Nena:

Participating in Eager Zebra games(s) is just a matter of choice. If you are someone who enjoys the betting and/or gaming world then most obviously you would not have a problem participating in the games. However, if you are not too enthused then I guess you would simply overlook the games.

Despite all the ifs, SFI/TripleClicks is attempting to make a dent in the gaming arena, therefore the introduction and continued introduction of games. I also believe the introduction of these games is to include a little fun in the working process. A little fun to break the pattern of signing in, completing the To-Do List, reading, viewing and participating in TriplesClick and whatever other daily routine you may have. Plus, participating is one way to help SFI/TripleClicks achieve its goal.

Besides all of that, participating allows you to earn while having a little fun. 1 VP, 5MRP plus the winnings of-course, just for having a little downtime FREE of cost!

I am here scratching my head to determine the answer for the Time Machine Game. (Smile)

Have a good day!

"SFI represents multiple income earning opportunities. Should I focus on just one, some, or ALL?"

Hi:

SFI does have multiple income earning opportunities. This is one of the greatest features of the program. In my opinion this may be an overwhelming factor for new and somewhat new members. Constantly thinking that you can try all at the same time is a nice thought but eventually it will cause you a lot of stress (my humble opinion).

My advice to you is as follows:
1. Take a look at all the available income opportunities
2. Determine which you are fairly good at
3. Determine which you are good at (list them in this order with the one you are somewhat weak at, to the bottom).
4. Spend at least 3 to 4 months working on your 2 income earning opportunities
5. Analyse and tweak as you go along.
6. As you become more proficient in your top two opportunities, gradually start to include others as you go along. This way you would have actually spent enough time advertising with the ones that are easiest to you, so more time will be spent on the others until you master them.

Although we are all here to make money, we must consider our abilities and capabilities to keep away frustration, panic attacks, and possibly quitting. Sometimes a slow steady pace is needed to succeed.
Hope this helps, have a good day.

"What is the best and least expensive way to build a personal SFI Website?"
A very good question! Since joining SFI, I have been asking myself that questions until the other day I was fooling around online and I think I have found a website that helps. It is the wordpress website. It has a lot of templates you can choose from.

Youtube, is a most go to website to get ideas and information on how to build a website. There are tutorials you can listen to and determine which is easier for you to learn and follow. Most of these tutorials give step by step instructions along with other vital information such as:

Websites you can visit to make free logos

Websites from which you can download free pictures

Websites that offer an affordable package for domain name and webhosting

It’s all there! Youtube is like your free online classroom. Check it out!

There are other sites like hubspot and wix that offers advice about does and don’t s of creating a website. And most definitely you may want to use free sites like:

Pingmyurl

Submitexpress

Yext

to submit your Website URL to thousands of different websites and search engines.

I hope the above information will help.

Have a good week!

Hi

As newbies we tend to look for persons who are successful in the business to guide us to become as equally successful as they are. At this time, we look to our sponsors and co-sponsors for such guidance. But one thing we must always remember is that these persons may also be newbies themselves and are trying to learn the ropes. On the other hand, some take the time to become well informed about the business and are more able to assist their downlines.

There are also sponsors and co-sponsors with years of experience and success in the business and are capable of offering the relevant guidance we need.

The question is who do you want your mentor to be?
One who is well knowledgeable about the business?
One who is well knowledgeable and successful?
One who is well knowledgeable, successful, and easily accessible?
One who is well knowledgeable, successful, easily accessible and willing to share essential information?
One who is learning to ropes of the business and is willing to share his/her successful tactics and grow with you?

After deciding exactly what you are looking for in a mentor, you can look at your uplines, a2a friends, and forum contributors to see who fulfills the requirements to be your mentor and start communicating with them.

Good Luck!!
