Many advertising guru in our business are unanimous in saying that less is best when it comes to advertising.

And the saying that less is more is very effective if you use very catchy and interesting words that describe what you are promoting.

Depending on the purpose of your ad, you will use short keywords that will stand out.

One such ad I saw years ago that really caught my eye and interest and stayed with me till now was: “This one’s for you”. I saw it everyone, on TV, on the newspapers, magazines, etc. It is about a new football team called “The Swans”- Notice the clever use of sound? Nothing else was written on the ads. I ended up being a fan of The Swans since then! I think the ad was very clever!

Prepare your advertising campaign by doing research so that you will know what works and what to avoid.

Your ads should address people’s needs/problems. With a clever play on words, or pun, you can arouse great interest in your readers and may produce great results.

I can think of one such phrase, “Fatten your purse!” may arouse the interest of those who are looking for ways to earn extra income.

Good luck! You now have the luxury of choosing the best advice from the answers given you.

If I could completely start over with SFI today, knowing what I know now, I would do some things differently, like not waste 6 months to get really started.

Or, I would just spend 3 of the 6 lost months to read, learn, and get familiar with working an internet business.

I would use the first 3 months to learn the SFI-speak, learn the meaning of lots of strange SFI terminologies, and deal with understanding how virtual currency like the TCredit works. I would concentrate on training myself more to get ready to become Team Leader on my fourth month.

I would also completely focus on sponsoring more and more PSAs to identify 5 workers with which to work with and train and teach duplication until I have reached at least 10 deep, then start another line, repeating the duplication until I have another 10 deep, and so on.

I would not waste time in talking and convincing family and friends to have a look at my new business, but instead look far beyond them and outside the country, thus avoiding the pain of rejection.

I would also start transfer-buying if there are core household products easily accessible outside of US.

I would also change my working habit, organise myself more, and ensure I have a nice balance of work, rest, and play at home.

I would also continue to learn from other successful leaders and read more success stories and motivational books for self-development, instead of fretting over PSAs and CSAs who quit after becoming EAs.

We have to be committed to SFI ourselves before we can expect our PSAs to commit to SFI.

As we don’t know the exact reason for their joining even though it says on their Profile, we need to know their core desires otherwise it will be a real struggle to get them committed to SFI.

Some of them really have no idea what they want out of SFI, except to earn money as soon as they can.

To even suggest to them to set up a Standing Order, as recommended but not compulsory, there will be lots of problems and obstacles for students and others who have no credit card.

Others with a demanding job will find it difficult to commit their time even to log in daily in order to earn Daily VP, although may be able to afford to set up a Standing Order.

So we try to do the best we can to motivate and encourage them, without pressure. We can show them we care by being there for them by communicating in any way we can. Sharing with them our success will emphasise the long term benefit of a residual income from building their SFI business through commitment and hard work.

Help them to see the Big Picture.

SFI was one of the five programs I was recommended to join in order to have five streams of income.

While the other programs looked interesting, they don't have the structure and simplicity of marketing plan of SFI. Having no brains for technology, I have a very simplistic mind and needed training. With written procedures to follow, it made things easier without the need to learn how build own website, learn about adwords, SEO and other strange words, and deal with all its complications. So I ditched the rest and stuck with the best.

The more I got into SFI, the more I was convinced that here is an internet home-based business I can easily learn and develop. As it is free to join, I had nothing to lose, and many things to gain.
Plus I can do it in the comforts of my home, work anytime that suits, and build a network of friends while building my business.
Its portability is also a huge plus as I travel quite a lot.

As I get to understand how SFI works by reading and reviewing the Basics and the LaunchPad lessons, and having a small degree of success, I found myself enjoying the experience. Soon SFI has become part and parcel of my life. What would I do without it, now that I left the drudgery of a 9-to-5 job?

When I received my first commission, it further convinced me that SFI business is a real business. I'm working with real people, dealing with real company with an online store selling 100,000 products and successful global presence.

These are the reason why I persevere and, for me, quitting is not an option. The world is full of educated derelicts, but people who persevere are winners.

The benefit of receiving non-active, re-assigned affiliates (PSAs) from my upline is enormous. It not only proved to me that my upline cares for me to be successful but to give me first hand training in being a leader.

It gives me a chance to practice my writing skills by sending a group message every week, in return earning 120 VP in a month.

The weekly messages to my non-active, re-assigned affiliates is an excellent personal training in communication for the time will come when my team will grow and the habit is already formed. It will become a pleasure especially when one in-active, re-assigned PSA finally sees the Big Picture in building SFI business and says, "Aha!"

The added benefit of pride and pleasure at seeing the result of my efforts in reaching out to them to finally commit to building a very successful and sustainable SFI business is like finding a diamond while gold-digging.

Because you want to duplicate yourself as a leader. To do this you need to check who among your Movers are showing leadership potential.

Identify 5 of your Movers and check their Affiliate Profile to see what level of activity they are at.

These 5 will always be featuring on your Movers list, as you can see from their VP Ledgers and in their Afiliate Profile how many people they have sponsored since joining your team.

At this stage, it is now important to give special training to these 5 to become leaders in order for duplication to happen effectively.

They need to be aware of the benefits of the different kinds of leaders they can aspire to become-

If they are very active in sponsoring and shows willingness to try different forms of advertising, they can be on the Top Sponsors Leaderboard. It is a great morale-booster to be acknowledge as such.

As well as Power Rank Leaderboard, VP Leaderboard, VP Streak Leaderboard, Country Leaderboard, E365 Leaderboard and G.C. DistrbuStar Leaderboard, they can be in the Leadership Challenge Leaderboard which can be very exciting and to be recognized by SFI and peers will provide great motivation to their downlines and the rest of the team and strong personal belief.

Once these 5 Movers become Leaders on their own right, you can then focus your attention on the next 5 Movers and repeat the process, until they have also performed the duplication as per the Ultra-Simple 3 Basic Steps.

It sounds easier said than done, but it can be done. With The Plan, just recently introduced, we now have a treasure path to follow that will make it more exciting, fun and fulfilling to be able to move up and achieve our own goals when we are able to help and develop 5 – 10 leaders to be the best they can ever be.

What a great question. I hope my answer will be helpful to new team leaders.

My plan is simple and easy for the new PSAs to do, without the need to reinvent the wheels.

1. Get them to Fast Track within 24 hours if they have just registered by explaining the benefit of receiving a bonus 200 VP when they have scored 500 VP.

2. Get them to complete Getting Started and Intermediate actions to earn all the required 1500 VP to become Executive Affiliates. Tell them to read and understand the LaunchPad lessons, but not to collect points from them as they will need the source for action points next month. Encourage them to read/review the SFI BASICS and the SFI RULES OF SUCCESS, the SFI Compensation Plan, and the FAQs.
Explain the VersaPoints, and how SFI business is built upon accumulating VersaPoints.

3. Once they become EA on their first month, then they can do the LaunchPad on their second month. This time, setting up standing order would be the time to do so. Suggestions will include 125TCredit pack recommended by SFI, for $36.25 with 1500 VP; or a combination of a share in S-Builder Co-op for $22 with 280 VP and 100TCredit Pack for $29 with 1200 VP, with short explanation on the benefit of their choice. So PSAs can think about it and decide whether to invest if their funds will allow. Support and advice will be intensified as it is during this time when PSAs need it most.

4. On their month, if PSAs have managed to remain EA and become EA2, it's time to use the Reassignment Tool to help them build their team. Some may use this tool earlier in the second month, but it will be more effective when they become EA2, an important milestone in the leadership process. PSAs who are EA2s are now emotionally ready to be leaders. Encourage them to read the SFI News, the valuable posts at SFI Forum, and the answers to different questions at ASK SC, which may relate, inform or motivate.

An anonymous writer once said,"Focus your attention to your intention."

A penny for my thought!

After the welcome letter, I would follow up with a personal message to new affiliates, to offer them guidance and teaching the basics.

For most people, the Affiliate Center can be a bit overwhelming, so it is important to let them know that if at any time they’re feeling this way to take a break.

Above all, I will advise them to not try to learn everything about SFI in one go. As with everything else, there is a time for learning, a time to put into practice what has been learnt, a time to rest and a time to work.

I would set up a few guidelines for them to follow, as per KISS principle: Keep It Simple and Succinct.

To review all the four simple actions and just focus on them.
Log in daily at Affiliate Center
Visit homepage
Do the launchPad
Do the daily to do tasks.

Plus advise them to also review these important pages:
• Frequently asked questions about how to get started with SFI
• Frequently asked questions about commissions and how you get paid

I would then emphasise the importance of getting to Executive Affiliate. That once they become an EA they’ll earn shares from the TripleClicks Executive Pool, become eligible for Co-Sponsor Commissions and ECA Royalties, pick up free TC Credits, get co-sponsored added to their team each month, and much, much more.

They can become EA from personal purchases and through customer sales,and by putting in Standing Orders to ensure they get the required 1500 VP every month and keep their rank.

If nothing else, becoming an Executive Affiliate will be a great motivating factor for them to log in daily and doing the important things first.
