The best way to show your appreciation for the efforts of your active team is to use ECards. ECards are easy to send and can address a spectrum of acheivements. As the saying is . . . it is not the gift that counts but the thought. Getting an ECard even from an A2A friend is very uplifting and encouraging. So sponsors can really be personal with ECards.

Likewise, TCredits are like the gift that keeps giving. While 10 TCredits may not be a lot, DB auction use yeild 100 MRP.

You can not persuade people to do what they do not want to do. All you can do is provide a good example. Participate in T-time and pricebender auctions. Become an ECA and do business. Share your victories and efforts with your team in the stream. Make your efforts known and the enthusiasm that you show will become contagious.

Moreover when you sponsor new affiliates with your W3 gateway. They are automatically personally sponsored members of TripleClicks. Then you give them a

To develop trust with your affiliates and get them to follow your leadership is not as difficult as it may seem at first. To position yourself correctly, it is important to have attained some level of success for yourself. Remember the poor man's wisdom is despised. If he were Donald Trump then people would hinge on every bit of advice he gives. Why? Donald Trump is a billionaire. So if you want to be a billionaire, you'd better take notes!

Moreover, you must set the expectation

The best strategy for earning quickly with SFI is to build a network asap. Network sales are going to outpace any personal or PRM (Personal Referred Member)sales. It is the classic case of leveraging the power of many active affiliates. 10 active affiliates can certainly out sell you. This is by far the best way to earn quickly in SFI.

However, without prior marketing experience and knowledge creating a network in the first 30 days of SFI enrollment is a daunting challenge but that's

This is a great question. There are many variables to consider namely how active you are at referring PRMs/ECAs, and how active are the PRMs/ECAs. The short answer is the most active and the highest number you have.

Of course, active PRMs/ECAs both create commissions for you. If I had to take a pick between active PRMs and active ECAs I'd take the PRMs and here's why. ECA royalties are only 10% of the CV produced. Very few ECAs produce $10000 in CV a month but if one does then

This is a great question and can be summed up as your 2 minute commercial. The way that I respond when people ask me about SFI is that Strong Future International is a company that provides products for anyone with a computer and an internet connection to sell and make money. There are over 88,000 commissionable products to promote. I like the business products niche and electronics. However, you can promote household products that you use everyday and get paid every month just like I do. When

The best way to use digital gift cards is to sign up for any messenger service and then add all of your email contacts to the service. Most messenger services have a birthday calendar plug in. Once the permissions are given then the plug will notify you of the birthdays of all of your contacts. What a great way to get another personally referred member!

Tell them that you wish them the very best birthday and as a token you would like to offer them 5 $12 gift cards to redeem on a gift

The difference between being an SFI affiliate and having a traditional business is clear when you give it some thought. Nonetheless there are some similarities as well. Just to be balanced, let's example a few of the similarities as well as the differences.

Here are just a few of the similarities SFI has to a traditional business.

1. They both are businesses and as such they should be operated with profits in mind.

2. They both require strong dedication

When it comes to giving cash, I use this rule of thumb. Never give anyone cash if you feel they are not going to use it wisely. It's just like giving someone money on the street. They may tell you that they are homeless, hungry, and destitute. When in actuality they are just an addict or an alcoholic. They need help but not your money.

Same with PSAs. The best way to help any PSA/CSA is to help their understanding of the process. Just giving them money is not going to replace
