The most important element in being successful in SFI is to understand the importance of timing of all action. KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) is providing information in the proper order and in the proper dosage. It is good to KNOW about the duplication process but so much better if you demonstrate it.

DAY 1---Executive Affiliate (EA--1500 AVP) is an appropriate MONTHLY Goal for the new PSA. But as Sponsor, it is important to inform the PSA of an immediate goal--a FastTrack BONUS of 200 VP for achieving 500 VP within 24 hrs after joining. That 500 AVP can be gotten in less than an hour by completing registration (150 VP), and a few other high VP tasks.

Have them avoid using LaunchPad Lessons(15 AVP each) to reach EA1 or Team Leader ranks. LaunchPad Lessons should be done ONE per day for 30 consecutive days. As many OTOs as possible should be saved to be used in later months. Why? Because the required1000 AVPs are difficult to come by in other months. Many affiliates quit in their 2nd or 3rd months for this reason.

Another important task that it is wise to do on day one is to purchase TCredits from TripleClicks products. This is an exchange of $$ for TripleClick's TCs. Since the SFI/TripleClicks business uses TCs for products, games, etc., everyone should plan on having a minimum of at least $50/mo to buy a 125TC S.O. It will provide the automatic 1500 SVP required for qualification each month plus 100 hard to come by AVPs just for doing the exchange.

For those who have more money to invest, do it in month one when there is no differentiation between AVPs and SVPs. The AVP could buy enough VPs to reach Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, or Diamond, It is also good to earn or buy a Gold FAST-TRACK for $20 which has ten days limitation before that opportunity expires. Meanwhile, you will have difficulty requalifying for that same rank in succeeding months when the number of AVPs increase for each rank from 1000 for BTL, 1500 for Silver, etc.
If you have time,on day one, do your one Launchpad Lesson for 15 AVP. Also, complete as many Daily ToDos (5 minimum) as possible. each and every day. With the purchase of the 125 TCSO,you will only need 500 SVPs to reach the 2000 maximum SVPs one needs to qualify for bronze if you can get your minimum 1000 AVP. Your PSA may have a hard time getting that thousand AVP after the 1st month== unless he has leftover OTOs to draw from.
There is also an E365 weekly Bonus that accelerates each week for five weeks if the PSA is above the Green Line. This is almost assured if he/she buys the 125 TCSO for $36.25 in month one.

What I have explained above is quite simple and will leave ample time for any learning without it being considered "overload" and will give a magnificent start with a growing income. Adding PSAs will make the qualifying for the 1000 AVPs easier in reaching the higher ranks.

I hope this first day schedule will help many avoid info overloadl

Unfortunately, answers to this question will probably be misleading because the majority of those answers will be from a small sampling of affiliates. Shall I take my limited number of affiliates and conclude for others, that Ireland, Nigeria, Egypt, India and the Philipines are where my best Affiliates come from? They could be the best or the worst locations to come from. None came from the United States or England, or France.

SFI might answer this question the best for us. Of the 1,600,000 affiliates, they could show which nation produced the largest number of successful affiliates. But I would hope that they would refuse to do that. Size of country or population number, the financial wellbeing of a country, and the appeal of FREE signups---all have influence on how many people signup.

Now as to advertising, most wise business people will spend their advertising at the place where it is financially productive. That is what you want answered here. You can do a little sampling of your own by going to A2A sampling. Whether you choose 10 or 1,000 individuals listed there will (1) tell you what country they are from and (2)tell you what prompted them to join SFI. Because this sampling would probably be too small for the results to be indicative, never-the-less, it will tell you something.

Advertising is an elusive animal on which to make prognostications. That is why you will find no promotional companies willing to predict the ROI (return on Investment). What is my advice? Diversify--test the effectiveness (ROI) of each source. It is still true that "It pays to advertise!" Just use wisdom. Don't sell sand in the desert, or refrigerators to Eskimoes!" Who needs what SFI offers? Probably everyone, if you were to conduct a poll? Who is interested in preparing for retirement? What age group? If you follow this line of questioning, you will narrow the advertising field down to wher 20% of them are buyers. Be careful of lists that contain all the names in the phonebook. Finally, ask someone who is successful what they did. If you trust them--maybe 10% are trustworthy--you will probably have a good chance for success. It is certainly better than taking pot shots in the dark.

Every one of the 30 LaunchPad Lessons are good. Some are more apropos at different times. But I like #11. Why because it gives the beginner a true picture of how there is more worth here than the QUICK INCOME

Success with SFI CAN BE SUCCESSFUL without investing any original investment of money if what you lack in money can be gained by substitution of a well conceived game plan taking that plank into account. What does "being successful" mean to the individual-- a residual monthly income to provide for an above average lifestyle allowing for limited application of effort needed to maintain or even increase the family's standard of living?
That plan will likely perceive what constitutes the success that he or she is looking for and the roadmap to get there.

SFI provides the roadmap AND the tools to reach that goal. If you put together the proper combination of committed affiliates, and the dedication to work as a team, you can have
the combination of a system that surpasses the normal progress of those who rely on money
for speedy advancement. Use of SFIPPA should be supplemented to any plan of growth withoug initial investment.

Personally, I hate canned email from autoresponders. However, well writtnen emails with application of a personal touch certainly has merit. It is far more likely to have a personal response.

Having a stored personal introduction and ending can accomplish the personal aspect very well. Finally, do a comparison test between SFI prepared message and your own short personal message and see if the results differ. Certainly, prompt. to the point,
personal concern will always return the largest response.

Leading by example should be primary is guiding newbies. A leader needs to be sure HE is leading correctly. Sometimes we give answers that do no reflect what we actually do.
The Bible speaks about "Blind leaders leading the blind." Of course, that is referring
to people who think they know the WAY when they do not. It applies to business as well.
Some use money to gain position. "Them that HAS. GETS!" philosophy. Unfortunately, these leaders are not ones that are duplicatable. In the long run, it is a combination of forging ahead by wisdom,effort correctly applied---and making sure that we are not a LONE ranger. Caring for others as we move up the ladder of success oftimes gives the foundation for all to succeed together. Love for your fellowman is never wasted although logically, it seems to slow you down at the time.

It is tempting to never give up on people. The time you are spending on unmotivated people could easily be much better spent on people who see value. I don't mean to throw them on the trash heap. After a week of not answering your emails or logging in to SFI, put them on the backburner. Contact them only when you have nothing better to do (every six weeks, for instance). Get on with the many who are legitimate people who show commitment. Help those who appreciate help. If they show commitment by their activity, assist them financially but only partially. If they are so financially desperate that they can't share 50/50 with a standing order or two, let them forage for themselves. It sounds cruel. Success (yours)comes by using wisdom in your choices. Remember to stay focused on your goals. It is O.K to spend 10% of your time on "lost causes". Spend a good share of your time on those who are serious and you'll succeed.

It would be nice if there was a simple answer to how to motivate your downline--But setting an example of honesty, work ethic, and a sincere desire to make them succeed will move mountains of disappointments they have experienced on the Internet.

I believe in giving various gifts or rewards--but one must be careful not to buy their loyalty or drive. The main principle within the Bible is "DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU" which translates into action of "Loving your neighbor as yourself.

This pattern is contagious if its real. It is so special in a world of selfish people who think of "ME first." Our attitude toward the inactive should be, "Here is someone to help". How may I do so? Mainly, by being understanding.

Many are simply poor. Many dream of getting "Rich Quick" because some slick guru has deceive them with double meaning words. They steal what little money most do have. Some may have difficulty resolving language barriers from English to their language.

The secret is not helping the whole world. Your limited world is the dozens of CSA's you are given to work with. Separate five or six people that show persistent effort---help those five get their five or six people. Draw them out of the pool of CSA's. To do that, you have to communicate with them. If you know how to do that, you have shown others the way--and those few will eventually grow into 10,000 people you have helped directly and indirectly. But you have to have the patience to wait for it. Make it your goal. More than a New Year's resolution.

For most new affiliates, it is difficult to believe that they can be #1 in their class at the end of the 365th day. It doesn't matter that it's free. Winners of races often take a strong initial lead---place them high above the green line--then, it is easy to keep the lead and improve it. Be willing to do for yourself what MOST WILL NOT DO. My class has dropped from 2236 down to a steady competitive 41. Now, I have real competition. I am #3 but I have a lot of work to do to become #2, and much more work to become #1. Have you managed to get through the first five. Look at you achievements? Do you se that you are an E365 Finalist? Well, you have a whole year to stretch for #1. But it is important for your new affiliates to know they must fight in the first five which are short. Have them realize it is going to tell whether their chances of being successful in SFI is very much dependent on whether they make the Finalist position in E3665. Richard

Obviously, bid on an item that you NEED, and WANT, and are WILLING TO PAY FULL PRICE FOR.
Begin bidding tentatively at the price most people are quitting. Even the autobidders are not going to set unreasonable limits. Lastly, spend only ten percent of your planned bid price when you begin. You must play close attention when you are getting bids every ten seconds or you will be timed out. Make sure your computer isn't acting up when bidding is vital.
