Hello... This is a great question. I think the biggest thing for new affiliates not to do their first month is to give up and get discouraged. It is our job as sponsors to encourage them, but also not make them feel overwhelmed at the same time. I reward my new PSAs for making FastTrack, making EA, signing up for WAVE3, becoming an A2A member, etc... For the "workers" this seems to encourage them to keep on and not to give up. Once they are active in their second month I then reassign PSAs to them so they have a team.

I think you are your greatest challenge to SFI. You have to remove anything else you have thought about online businesses and start with an open mind. Here's some things to do to help with that:
Do NOT give up.
Read START, SFI BASICS and LAUNCHPAD as MANY, MANY times as you need.
Ask any question you need to your uplink to the forum. ANY question. There is no stupid question.
Do not loose communication with your downline.
Work everyday to build your team.
Work everyday to advertise TripleClicks.com.

How do I convince someone to try SFI when they've had bad experiences previously with online businesses?

SFI is different than other sites. First, we have TripleClicks. Look at everything you can do with TripleClicks. Perhaps give them a Gift Card or a Gift Certificate so they can try out the website even before becoming a SFI affiliate. Also, SFI has been in business for over 15-years and have a rating with the BBB. Not many other online businesses can say that.
What is the best way to contact a prospective ECA?

I would recommend finding local businesses that have unique (maybe even custom) items. I would take them a TripleClicks Gift Card, so they can try the website out for free. I would leave them the ECA marketing flyer along with my business card and have them call me when they are ready to go.
Then, when I get the call I would stop by with my laptop/tablet and help them sign up for the ECA program. Once approved I would help them list their items until they felt comfortable listing them on their own.
I would also be sure to let them know that I am local Team Leader for SFI/TripleClicks in the area and to please contact me with any questions. I would advise them that they don't pay me a dime and that SFI/TripleClicks pays me a commission to help local merchants like them.

Is SFI good for students (18 or older)? Why or why not?

Absolutely!!!
A friend and I were having a discussion the other day about churches (don't worry this is not going to be about religion.) My comment was a church MUST have a strong youth program. Why? It's simple. The youth is the future of the church. Same principle applies to SFI. We MUST have a strong group of younger affiliates. They are the future of SFI and whatever it becomes in the future.
Today's generation also understands technology and social media networking. They may not believe that when they post a picture on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and get 5000 likes it means very much. But, think about it. If they could post a TripleClicks product and get 5000 people to like it and then re-share it. How much power in marketing is that?

A2A is your only way to contact another affiliate that is not in your up/down line and not your CSA. There are a lot of other resources in SFI that are not in your up/down line or your CSA. As an A2A friend you can see their post on your Stream that they post to their A2A friends. Some post very valuable tips, suggestions and reminders. This is extremely because in this business we are not going to catch everything everyday. So, having more people to alert you to something is very valuable.

To be honest, I am not sure who looks at posted flyers anymore. At least in the United States, I am not sure they do. Having said that though, I have been to local coffee houses, groceries stores and other local stores and seen an old school bulletin board with flyers all over it. So, I guess maybe it's still worth it?
However, I think you would get more exposure by posting advertisements on your own blog/website and social media networks such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram.
