Hi Jalna,

You are talking about residual Income.
This is income that keeps coming in, around the clock, month after month, year after year. This is like royalty you receive when you write a book or record a song and get paid indefinitely on it.

We can never be guaranteed anything in life including residual income.
Look at what happened to the stock market and all the ways people are having their identity stolen!
As long as your team keeps getting bigger and your people keep working and making an income, you will be fine.

Every serious working SFI affiliate is in it to do business.
Here are some of the things that you will need to teach your affiliates so they become successful.

1) Learn how to be an internet marketing expert by reading and learning all the SFI educational material that is offered.

2) New affiliates will be getting "Fast-Track" points for generating at least 500 VP in your first 24 hours. It's easy but they need to know.

3) It's important for all affiliates to do these steps. Going back will help the to keep is simple and do well.
a) The "Start"
b) The "Basics"
c) The "Launchpad"

4) Log in daily, read the Alerts, To-Do List, the Latest News, Ask SC, and the Forum.
a) Make sure to click on the blue tab at the bottom of each page.
b) You can receive an extra entry for the Daily Grand, by clicking on the blue tab of the Alerts page.
c) Read and rate questions on the Ask SC by opening the "GO" button, to receive entries into the Daily Grand.

5) Make sure you explain not to miss the E365 contest your affiliate must show up each day and do their To-Do List and all the red tabs across.
For complete details on the E365 program, including rules, leader boards, prize lists, and more, see: www.sfimg.com/E365

6) Their requirements to work and become a success will also be:
a) Acquiring new affiliates to build their team.
b) Buying and selling on their TripleClicks store to receive VersaPoints and Commissions from sales. The member's listings are what each SFI member lists as products and/or services he/she is selling either as an E-Commerce Associate, ECA, or on their member T-Connect page.

7) The goal is at least 1500 VPs each month, just like re-qualifying for a new paycheck each week or month at a regular job.
a) 1500 VPs gets to EA (Executive Affiliate).
b) Work harder to become a higher rank for more income and Commission.
c) Duplicate all that you learn to acquire a good working team.
d) Check the benefits chart at: https://www.sfimg.com/Reference/ComparisonChart

8) Advising your new affiliates to buy a Wave 3 kit, will help them:
a) By receiving many needed items, from new affiliates each month to winning $200.00 at the low cost of $1.99 one time. To learn about W3 go to:
http://www.tripleclicks.com/Wave3/Wave3.php
b) Each month, TripleClicks challenges independent artists worldwide to compete for the best song of the month. Winners are chosen by our members.
c) To receive the song of the month for W3 by going to:
www.tripleclicks.com/music/w3song.php

9) Make sure your affiliates know how find their complete Ledger so nothing is missed each month at: https://www.sfimg.com/MyAccount/MyReports/VPLedger

10) Watch the SFI training video: http://sfitrainers.com/video/

I hope this will help you become a success and to build much residual income.

Hi Sebastian,

Each affiliate is different and many take longer than others to understand what to do.
a) Those that are really serious or have been in marketing, will not have to rely on their sponsor
after becoming familiar with the websites.
b) Many who sign up don't understand what marketing is and will have be more dependent on their
sponsor.
c) Some will get frustrated and leave without doing anything.
d) Many affiliates don't consider SFI & TripleClicks a business, so come and go when they feel like
it or don't have good website access so can't show up daily.
e) Those that don't understand English work harder, but do need more help.

Here Are Some Tips For Success and To Help Your Team Become Independent!

When a new affiliate first starts working on SFI, it does look confusing so give them all the information they need to start working their business as:
1) Send a Welcome E-Card message as soon as you are notified. You can find a default welcome
message at: https://www.sfimg.com/PopUp/SampleWelcomeLetter
Include your leadership gateway as: www.sfimg.com/leadership/XXXXXXXX (your ID#) and your
e-mail. This will allow them ways to contact you by either starting a chat, sending a Team mail
(at the bottom of your Blog page) or by sending an e-mail.
2) Follow up With E-Mail! with an e-mail this will let you know that you have a correct e-mail
address. Explain this is THEIR REAL business, they must show up daily (if possible)
To start the new affiliate needs to read The "Start" and The "Basics"
Then start reading The "Launchpad" each day and do the To-Do-List.
After they have finished the Launchpad it's important to start reading from the black "Training"
tab at: https://www.sfimg.com/Training/
3) New affiliates that are not fluent in English will to be aware that there is a Translator on each
page of SFI and TripleClicks. This can be a challenge when they have posted "other" instead of
their language. It's important to help them by sending message in their language.
4) Suggest new affiliates should join a2a to find friends from their country that are team leaders.
This will help them understand when a situation arises that only pertains to that country.
A great help for affiliates that do not speak English. Send them the a2a page at:
https://www.sfimg.com/a2a
5) Take the time to send regular messages as a weekly Team Mail, to Congratulate your affiliates
as they progress and reward them as they achieve.
If you are not sure what to send in your group mailing here are some samples at:
https://www.sfimg.com/PopUp/sampleMessages
There many good ideas on every page of SFI and the SFI News at: http://news.sfimg.com/
Make sure to send group mailings to all your team. Some that are inactive, may come back to
learn and work.

Since you are successful, you will really never stop coaching and helping your team, because as you learn and as the websites are updated, you will want to pass on your new knowledge.
Also, as new PSAs and CSAs join your team, you will start teaching and helping from the beginning again.

I hope this is helpful.
May you be Blessed with Success.

Hi Jasna,

This is a very good question.

When first joining SFI and beginning to read, doing the actions and completing the Launchpad in one day, you can become a BTL. This is not advisable, because it will cause confusion and many will never be able to make BTL the next month, unless they are experienced and can start working and helping their new team.

Once you become a BTL, you will receive CSAs to start helping them learn to work with a team.
You can see the benefits you receive for being a team leader by going to your Benefits Chart on your To-Do list or at: https://www.sfimg.com/Reference/ComparisonChart
Also, your sponsor may transfer PSAs from their team to you. This can become hard for some new affiliates to handle.

I advise my new affiliates to read the Start, Basics and then START the Launchpad. If they are reading a Launchpad page each day and then read the Forum, Ask SC questions and answers each day, this will help them understand it is best to go slow and learn.

SFI is not a competition, but a business for each of us. I consider everyone on my team a partner. We are each working for the same goal, becoming successful and increase our income. I have found those that have a different primary language then English, do work slower and succeed much better.

After the first month, it is harder to be a BTL without a working team, but you can do this. It is important to understand that you must show up daily and do ALL your To-Do list for the Monthly, Weekly and Daily AVPs. These will give you 532 VPs each month. Which means you must play Games and enter the Auctions until you have at least 500 AVPs. This will also give you SVPs and MRPs. The MRPs can be used to buy items and T-Credits. When bidding on auctions, you are also entering in the Bid & Build game. This will allow you to spin for new PSAs to help build your team. To understand the Bid & Build go to:
https://www.sfimg.com/Support/Solution?catid=26444&id=202785

SFI is the only internet company that gives you so many free gifts to help you as:
Daily Grand, Daily Crown, Training, Advertising, Bid & Build, CSAs, Bonus Bar, Free Game Entries, etc.

Investing in your business should not be a problem. Make sure to set your goals and your budget.

May you be Blessed with success.

A good question Jonathan,

The best way to attract traffic to your T-Connect or ECA page is to advertise.
There are several ways to do this.

1) Word of mouth has always been the best way to get people to check out anything.
You can use Gift Cards as a incentive to check out your store.

2) Posting TripleClicks flyer in stores, flea market, garage sales, cleaners, gas stations, grocery stores. With the incentive of receiving a gift card after they sign up can bring you traffic. You can make you own or use the flyers at SFI by going to: https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/MarketingCenter

Hi Maja,

I think I have checked out most of the on line internet businesses for the 10 years. It always starts off that it is free, but then, you have to buy this and buy that until it is hundreds of dollars! Then there is more investments to help educate on how to work the business!

In 2013, I became tired of working the two brick and mortar businesses my husband and I owned, plus working a full time healthcare job. I decided to start looking for an on line business again.

That very day, I received an e-mail about SFI! When I signed into SFI, saw all the different information AND I didn't have to buy anything!! I knew this was what I was looking for. Having been in marketing companies, it was easy to see this was the real thing! I closed my advertising agency and went part time at my jobs. We have kept the restaurant, which my husband runs.

This has been the best business I have ever been in. There is all kinds of training and always someone to help you. You can contact your upline, the Forum, Ask SC, the glossary, or send in a ticket to the office.

We have TripleClicks where we can sell item by becoming an ECA or promote other ECA's product to increase our income.

The only problem I have, is the internet service in our area, considers SFI and TripleClicks as spam. This has caused many people and businesses to not sign up with me.

I now schedule appointments to physically go talk with them and then educate each to add another search engine onto their computer as I talk about SFI and TripleClicks.

Have a Blessed Day!

Hi Morita,

The best way to promote SFI by using printed flyers to recruit new affilites, is to distribute the flyers to different businesses in your area. You will find the free flyer on SFI marketing center at: https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/MarketingCenter

I suggest that you set them out everywhere that the businesses will allow.
Some examples for where to take your flyers are:
1) Colleges
2) Offices as: physicians offices, dental offices, law offices, accountants, loan offices, unemployment offices, etc.
3) Garage sales
4) Banks
5) Stores as: resale stores, retail stores, grocery stores, etc. flea markets, etc.
6) Flea markets
7) Motels
8) Gas stations

I also suggest that you print out TripleClicks flyers. You can then explain to the business owners how they can become an ECA and post items on your TripleClicks website to sell and make extra income. Giving the business owner a gift card can be an incentive for checking out TripleClicks website. They will then have a way to buy
T-Credits for posting items.

For each business owner that becomes an approved ECA, you'll earn 10% of the CV (Commission Volume) on all of their sales at TripleClicks.com. You'll earn an immediate 100 VP when your ECA generates their first $10 or more in sales. The ECA referral program is very powerful, because all you have to do is introduce an ECA to TripleClicks and you'll be set to earn royalties for life! Every time anyone,anywhere in the world, buys something at TripleClicks from one of your referred ECAs, you earn a royalty!

I always keep flyers, ECA Brochures, gift cards and my business cards with me all the time. You never know when you will find someone or a business that you will want to talk to and will become interested.

Here are 50 Free or Cheap Advertising ideas that you can also check it out:

This is a good question Henry!

Always be honest with anyone that you are talking to about SFI and TripleClicks

1) Explain that SFI is a marketing company that has been in business since 1998.
That people from all over the world work with SFI and TripleClicks.

2) Let your new prospect know that they will be given a Free education to become an expert in their very own business. Make sure they understand it's important for them to be dedicated, willing to show up daily, and really want to own a business.

3) Stress that you will be there to help them when they have questions or get frustrated. That there are many people on the website to help them. They can ask people on the Forum, their up-line, a2a Friend, and check at Ask SC. They can also write their question on the white space at the top right corner of SFI that says "Enter topics here for quick answers". Or can check the "Help Desk" at: http://csi.freshdesk.com/support/home

4) They can sign up for Free, are given Free advertising tools and TWO websites. On average, buying a franchise cost at the very least, $15,000. Your prospect will receive their businesses for FREE!

5) Express having flexible hours and therefore work anytime, 24 hour a day and anywhere they wish. Plus being able to do what you want, where you want, and always being off on holidays.

6) Owning their own business will mean being responsible and learning how to work. SFI is not a "get rich quick" company, so they will have to work to become profitable.
They can receive a little or a lot depending on how much they learn and work.
Also, they will receive at least $220.00 worth of products each month.
On average a brick and mortar business takes at least 5 - 7 years to become profitable. During that time the owners must pay out rent, utilities, salary, products, etc.

7) Don't be frustrated if your family and friends are not interested.
Many people are afraid of marketing companies. Many think it's a multilevel company and is illegal. My answers to these people are:
"Is your bank or the company they are working for a multilevel company?"
"Do you get the same amount of money for their hard work as your boss or the owners of the company?"
"Isn't that what you mean by multilevel?"
"Of course, the affiliates in our up-line will get more income than we do, just like any company."

8) Show them your SFI websites. Explain how they can sell, buy, bid or even have a garage sale with all the stuff in their house on TripleClicks. Then, show them all the different items for sale on your website while you are talking and sign them up while you are on SFI.
If they are not that interested or want to think about it, this is a good time to give them a gift card to use.
They can look at TripleClicks more thoroughly and may decide to sign up on their own.
May you be successful in your business.

Hi Peggiecharles,

It's really impossible to insure that your TripleClicks gift cards are used.
I have given out dozens and many don't bother to use them.
I do suggest that you go to the Gift Card Guide at: https://www.sfimg.com/GCguide/GCguide
You can keep track of your gift cards by using the Gift Card Tracker at:
https://www.sfimg.com/MyAccount/MyReports/GCtracking

It's important to record who you are giving your TC gift cards to. I keep a notebook, a calender and the Gift Cards with me all the time.

I go back to business owners and the others that haven't used their Gift Cards.
Since we have an internet service monopoly and this company we must use, will not lift the spam order on SFI and TripleClicks. Having this problem, I must tell the people I'm giving the gift card, that they will need to use Chrome or Firefox and why if they already use one of them. This is another reason I go back and remind them that they still have the card and if they have a few minutes for me to show them how to use the website. If they don't have the time then, I set up a time to come back and talk with them. Doing this is a way to set them up on my website, show how to use the website, and use the Gift Card.
This is a good way set up a new PRM (Personal Referred Members) or getting a new ECA for their business and yours. Some will do this and some won't.

Having digital Gift Cards are nice to use to send in e-mails to friends and family.
If you are going to use them for Social Media or your website, I suggest that you have the interested party sign up on TripleClicks and then send them the Gift Card. This will help keep from having fraud on how your gift cards are used. I always ask for an e-mail from the interested party after they sign up on my Tripleclicks sight.
Here's information on the Digital Cards: https://www.sfimg.com/Support/Solution?id=168987&referrer=search
When you buy Gift Cards now, you must select which kind of cards you are buying.

I hope this is helpful. May you be Blessed and successful in your business.

Tami, this is a good question.
In making a presentation to a group about SFI, I would say about the same things that I tell individuals.
1) SFI is short for Secure Future International.

2)The company has been accredited with the Better Business Bureau for 26 years and has paid out MILLIONS in commissions to affiliates in over 190 countries.
(I think this is important to help people understand that the company is legitimate.)

3) SFI has paid millions of dollars in commissions to affiliates in over 190 countries.

4) Many people get turned off when the hear two words, network marketing.
So, these should be explained.
a) This is not a "get rich quick scheme". They'll have to work everyday at their business and it will be slow and sure to make good money. The sky is the limit for those who work.
b) Some people think they will be working to make someone else rich.
Yes, commission is distributed to the affiliate and to the up line. Is this any different then when you're working for someone else? Doesn't the boss get much more money than you?
c) Marketing is just another word for advertising. If this was a brick & mortar business, in order for people know it was open and in business, it would have to be advertised or marketed.

6) SFI is the only company that helps you learn and earn with little or no money by GIVING you two websites, tools and education to become profitable.

7) If anyone asks, you may want to have the benefits chart available to show the many ways we receive commission.

"This is your opportunity to be apart of the best marketing company on the internet.
Let's get started today".

I hope this has helped.
