If you are looking to earn an income by selling TripleClicks products, than go for the gusto and sell them all.

Start off with promoting just one product, how about promoting the Health products.

Let's use the "Advanced Liquid Nutrition - 32 oz. Bottle", for an example.

Go to TripleClicks, scroll down the list and click on Health & Wellness topic

http://www.tripleclicks.com/tcsearch/category:8

Click on the first product, Advanced Liquid Nutrition

http://www.tripleclicks.com/detail.php?item=5169

Do you see the tabs below the product? Details, Product Reviews, etc...?

Click on the SFI Affiliates tab.

The first one is for just promoting this One product.

• To promote this item, refer prospective customers to:

http://www.tripleclicks.com/xxxxxxxx/detail.php?item=5169


This one is for promoting ALL of the Health & Wellness products listed in TripleClicks.

• To promote ALL listings assigned to the Health & Wellness department, refer customers to:

http://www.tripleclicks.com/xxxxxxxx/tcsearch/category:8


By taking just one product of a category, and promoting that one product, you can at the same time promote All of the products of the same department, which in this example is, Health & Wellness.

You would advertise the one product, but you would use the link for promoting All listings in your ad. When someone clicks on your link for the Advanced Liquid Nutrition, they would also see all of the other products that are available also.

You can also promote any items in TripleClicks, it just does not have to be TC Direct products. You will also earn a commission on any products that you sell from TripleClicks.

You can use any of the Marketing Aids to help you promote your TC Direct products and don't forget about Free Classifieds in the For Sale category. Some you can post a photo of the product along with your listing.

https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/MarketingCenter

You could also copy and paste the information from the product description and also copy a photo to do some of your advertising.

After you get some Health & Wellness products advertised, than promote another type of product.

There are hundreds of different products to promote, just start with one and slowly keep adding a new product.

Very Good Question. So many affiliates come across this problem.

Create yourself a Work Schedule. Your work schedule of course will be based on whatever your goals are to be reached.

Create a Weekly Schedule. It could be something like the following:

Everyday - Must complete To-Do list // Read all Emails // Spend at least 2 hours Advertising

Monday - To-Do list // Read all Emails // Spend 1 hour reading Forum Topics // Spend at least 2 hours advertising // Spend 1 hour learning about Blogs

Tuesday - To-Do list // Read all Emails // Spend at least 2 hours Advertising // Spend 2 hours learning about Blogs

Wednesday - To-Do list // Read all Emails // Spend at least 2 hours Advertising // Create letter to send to my Downline on Advertising Tips

Thursday - To-Do list // Read all Emails // Spend at least 2 hours Advertising // Spend about 1 hour or so working on Creating my Blog

Friday - To-Do list // Read all Emails // Spend at least 2 hours Advertising // Search for more creative ways to Advertise // Spend about 1 hour or so working on Creating my Blog

Saturday - To-Do list // Read all Emails // Spend at least 2 hours Advertising // Create Weekly Schedule for next week // Spend 1 hour reading Forum Topics

Sunday - To-Do list // Read all Emails // Spend at least 2 hours Advertising // Spend about 1 hour or so in Auction // Spend about 1 hour or so working on Creating your Blog

By having a plan with having a Weekly Schedule, you are pacing yourself to complete your tasks and also are allowing room to start something new, not to mention that each step is one more step closer to your goals.

If you set yourself up a Time Schedule and allow some breaks during your working hours, this might help you before you find yourself getting so overwhelmed that you just get so frustrated and want to throw in the towel, before you even get started.

Make your time schedule reasonable, before you sit down to work, have yourself one of your meals, or a snack.

Do a couple of stretches, get the blood flowing. Be ready to take on your tasks for the day.

A Time Schedule would be something like the following;

8 am - To-Do list // 9 am -- Read all Emails // 9:15 am -- Break time // 9:30 am -- Read Topics in Forum // 10:30 am -- Advertise in Classifieds // 11:30 am -- Break time // 12 pm -- Advertise more in Classifieds // 1 pm -- Search internet to learn about Blogs // --

As you can see, you have completed all of your tasks for the day and you took some breaks and still have some time for yourself.

Take a Break about every two hours for about 15 - 30 minutes, walk away from your work.

When you find yourself getting frustrated and upset because you feel like you just can not figure something out, just Stop what you are doing and Step away from your work.

Go take a walk and get some fresh air, do some chores, or listen to the radio, dance around your home, go get a bite to eat, anything that you enjoy doing to give yourself and your head a break.


Give yourself about an hour or so, (your work will be fine, waiting for you to return).


When you sit back and start to work again, you might see things a little bit clearer and things might jump into perspective with a better understanding then before you stepped away.

Whatever you feel that has worked for you to overcome being overwhelmed, share that with your Team, let them know that this is how I was able to overcome being overwhelmed.

Also, try not to make things harder then what they really are, take small steps.

There is no rush, pace yourself and take your time.

Hope this was helpful. // Good Luck!!

How to advertise successfully on Facebook and other social media?

This is a difficult one, but can be done.

It would be best if you create your own Blog or Website with your own Domain Name.

You can easily create a Blog or Website for free at several different places.

Here are just a few.

New marketing tool Gateway Hosting is here!

http://newsold.sfimg.com/index.php?entry=entry140217-165010

We are pleased to announce today a powerful new marketing tool.

You can now hook up your own domains to SFI and TripleClicks Gateways of your choosing. And these are not just redirects. You’ll actually point your domain’s DNS record to our servers where the Gateway page will reside.

The main benefit of this is that it will greatly mitigate—and quite possibly completely eliminate—scenarios where your SFI gateway is wrongly blocked, such as on Facebook.

Here’s what you need to do:

1. Buy a domain for yourself that will be appropriate for promoting the Gateway you wish to use in your advertising. Note that domains can be purchased for as little as just $12.99 a year (just $1.09/month) at registrars such as GoDaddy. You can help us a little bit with our growing server hardware costs by purchasing your domain(s)HERE(GoDaddy will pay us a small commission). Or, if you already have a domain, you can set it up as well.

2. Follow the simple directions provided at our new Gateway Hosting Manager page HEREto set up domain, the DNS record, etc.

3. Allow a few days for your domain to propagate.

That’s it—you’re ready to roll! And our hosting of your Gateways is provided 100% FREE.

MORE GOOD NEWS: In a few days, Hosted Gateways will be integrated into SFI Share-Its. So instead of using SFI4.com domains or other SFI/ TripleClicks domains that Facebook and other sites have blacklisted, we’ll automatically swap in YOUR non-blocked domain. From thereon, each time you earn a new Share-It, you’ll be able to share it on Facebook, Twitter, etc. without worrying about it being blocked or having your friends exposed to a silly message suggesting you’re associating with a non-reputable company! Be watching for this additional announcement.

So it is very possible for you to do your advertising on any Social Media, you just need to apply the above actions mentioned.

Happy Advertising!

I would do my very best to find out exactly what the affiliate was having problems with and why they want to give-up.

I would then reassure them that whatever the problem is, may it be money issues, or having problems understanding certain topics or whatever the issue that is causing doubt within the affiliate, that "Don't Worry", we will get over this speed bump in the path of your journey for success "Together".

I would do my very best to find the answers to the problems they might be challenged with and I would help them to resolve the problems together.

I would try to re-enforce some of the positive guidance that will be more encouraging to help them gain and build some of the confidence that sort of got side tracked from a problem that brought forth discouragement.

Hopefully, that working together and supporting the affilate, that they will re-gain the confidence that they started with when first starting their journey with SFI and will learn that no matter what problems might arise, that they did not have to feel alone and that mostly all issues could be solved with just a little bit of work and support.

I hope that this was helpful.

"Always"! There is no time limit.

Great question Ritu! but...at the same time a complex question. For many of us have more inactive affiliates than active affiliates.

First, do not limit yourself to just wanting to promote your ECA store products to just your downline.

You could also promote to your Connected ECAs and also to the World.

Here are my suggestions on promoting your ECA products to your downline.

I would suggest to you to "Teach Your Downline", "How to Advertise ECA's & TC Direct's Products". By you showing them, step by step, how to advertise your ECA products and other ECA & TC Direct products.

You will be enhancing their knowledge and also teaching them a way to increase their income stream, by promoting your ECA products & other ECA & TC Direct Products as well.

Advertising to the World.

See, when you promote other ECAs or TC Directs products, not only to you earn a commission, but you can also promote ALL products of a certain department.

Example: I am going to use a TC Direct product as my example.

The New Member Pack (NMP).
http://www.tripleclicks.com/detail.php?item=381607&tab=details

Once you are in the New Member Pack product page, if you click on the SFI Affiliates tab, you will see the following options. (This option is available in all of TripleClicks Products except for TCredits).

• To promote this item, refer prospective customers to:
http://www.tripleclicks.com/xxxxxxx/detail.php?item=381607

• To promote ALL listings assigned to the Miscellaneous department, refer customers to:
http://www.tripleclicks.com/xxxxxxxx/tcsearch/category:11

Besides creating a website with ONLY your ECA products for sale, you can also promote your products in the Free Classified Ads.

When posting your products in the "For Sale" category, you are usually allowed one to three pictures. You could post your product's picture or another ECAs or TC Directs product's picture, but use the second link to advertise ALL of the products "For Sale" in the same department as your product.

By posting your own ECA product, but using the second link, you are giving your prospects more offers to consider for purchase.

If you use just your own products link, they will than have to click on another link within your ECA product's page to see all of your products. Which they might not see the link.

By offering a much larger selection, you are bettering your chances of a purchase, even if it is not your own product that one might purchase, you can still earn a commission for advertising other ECAs & TC Directs products.

Promote your products to your Connected ECAs.

"Teach Your Downline" to Connect with other ECAs. Show them step by step "How to Connect with ECA Members" and how they will get Updates on products or services that they are interested in, which they could advertise for commissions.

"Teach Your Downline", "How to become a ECA store owner, step by step, and what all of the benefits of becoming a ECA store owner will be. To help them get started they can promote their ECA products to other ECA store owners.

You can promote your products to all of the ECAs that you are Connected with by just making a post in your ECA page. Right next to where your products are listed, you will see a Box, with "Post News" above the Box.

Just type in the box about your latest product, or what product is coming soon, or your having a Sale on so many products. By doing this, you are promoting to all of the ECAs that you are connected with and this News Post which will be seen daily in your Connected ECAs Stream.

Also, you can send out a letter once a week, to all of your Connected ECAs by using the ECA Customer Mailer @ https://www.tripleclicks.com/ECA/CustomerMailer.php

Because we don't all have many active downline affiliates, the more we teach our active downlines and also learn ourselves, how to advertise to promote not only our own ECA products, but also other ECAs & TC Direct products, it can become a big win for all of us.

Why should I invest in SFI?

This is a very interesting question.

I first would have to ask you "Why did you join SFI?"

If SFI is just a Hobby for you to dabble in something to take up your spare time, than I would give you an answer like:

If you are going to do something, even something like a hobby, I would suggest to take it seriously and give it your all to learn something new and worthwhile.

Even investing time to learn something new is very valuable.

If SFI is to help you to build up your own business to help you to earn an additional income or maybe even leave your full time job in the future, than investment in your time is a big requirement.

Investment in your time is very much required.

SFI has everything that you need for you to learn to get your own business started, with all of the knowledge that is available, if one can just take one step at a time and spend the time to read one section at a time.

The knowledge alone that one can learn is priceless, and that alone is so worth the investment of your time.

One does not need to invest in a financial way to become successful with SFI, but it will take you a lot longer to be able to achieve the success that one might be wanting quickly when starting a new business with SFI.

By investing at least enough to help one maintain an EA status each month for the extra benefits is well worth the investment.

By reading and learning and than applying most or all of the knowledge that is available, one will slowly be able to achieve their financial goal.

By continuing to read, learn and apply, you will see yourself gradually flowing into the next team leadership status without breaking your business budget.

It is foolish to not want to invest into your own business (either in time or in a financial manner), to help your business to grow and prosper.

What you invest now, will surely become well worth the investment later on.

Hello Anna,

In my opinion, I think that it is important to prepare your affiliates in the first month on what to expect in the second month.

What I mean is, in the first month you get your affiliates to get familiar with signing in daily, get them used to their Home Page and all of the To-Do list.

To begin to treat SFI as their Business and a Real Business.

You have them go through the Getting-Started video, the Basics and the Launch Pad Lessons.

You get them familiar with the VP Ledger and all of the tasks that they can do to earn VP's.

What the purpose of the VP's are and how they benefit from earning VP's.

How to work their way to stay Above the Green Line.

How they are Earning as they are Learning.


I also think that it is important to express in the first month, that they can quickly and easily become a STL and that they should NOT use up all of the Action VP's in the first month.

That if they can just do the tasks required to stay above the Green Line and to save all of the other Action VP's for the next month to help them to become an EA2 or even a higher Leadership status.

Because, come next month they will be starting off with 0 VP's and they will have to work their way back up to EA status, by saving the Action VP's, they should be able to get to EA2 status or higher with no problems.

If they use the first month, to Read and Learn all about SFI and TC to see how it all works together and complete the tasks needed to earn the VP's required to stay above the Green Line, that come the second month, they will be well aware of what to expect in the second month.

But at the same time, they will have learned a lot more about SFI and TC, that they will be able to begin their advertising by using their gateways and also have a few CSA's on their team to start to learn about being a Good Team Leader.

And most importantly, that YOU (as their sponsor or co-sponsor) are there for them with any type of questions or help that they need.

Hope this was helpful.

What do you say to an affiliate who thinks that doing the daily 1 VP actions is a waste of time?

If this is stated to you from an affiliate, then it seems that this affiliate is really not interested in Learning or Earning here in SFI.

Doing the daily actions is all about Learning and also Earning.

For every page that is read, is a lesson learned. (Education is priceless.)

For every daily VP that is earned, is an income earned.

To sum it up, you get paid to learn.

SFI can't make it any easier than that, to help you build up a business of your own.

Good Luck!
