To answer this question, you should know the in and outs of your downlines. You should have established consistent communication with your affiliates. Your experience dealing with your affiliates will help you to decide in all kinds of situation in building your team.

Before answering the question, if there is a point that you should not go beyond, consider the following points in making decisions how far you should go in helping your affiliates:

1. Know your affilliates.

Use the SFI Tools and Resources, such as Genealogy to classify your affiliates. You can set up parameters like affiliate's VP, frequency of logging in and doing the To-Do List, Ask SC/Forum participation and affiliate's frequency of communication with you as his sponsor. By doing this, you'll be able to have a whole picture of your team.

2. Communicate

Now that you have an overview of your team, you can send corresponding messages to affiliates, who just signed up, affiliates who have zero VP, affiliates that logging in consistently and affiliates who are go-getters. Depending upon your resources and the responses of your affiliates, you'll be able to make sound decisions to build your team.

Is there a point you should not go beyond?

Based on my experience, I suppport an affiliate who performs the To-Do List consistently, but lacks financially to renew his EA2. Besides perfoming his To-Do List, he is constantly learning, and making use of the SFI Tools and Resources, such as applying the methods of sponsoring, participating in Ask SC and SFI Forum and communicate consistently with his Team Leader. I'll also send messages to affiliates correspondingly as classified above.

I'm not going beyond this point, i.e. I'm not going to support someone who will not lift his finger to do his To-Do List and instead demand his commission not understanding the concept of SFI. In short people who lack patience, persistence, determination and commitment are not worh investing in them.

First of all, before searching of what types of businesses to refer to ECA Program, I assumed this is the essence of your question, we need to bear in mind, and how e-commerce can help businesses to market their products and enjoy consistent profit.

Focus on the businesses that have little or no presence online. Small businesses that have little or no e-commerce capabilities on their websites will learn about taking the next step in converting their marketing sites into selling locations that extend their customer bases, images and sales in entirely new ways. Those entrepreneurs not yet online will discover how the Internet is likely to transform their businesses and introduce them to markets far beyond those which are currently in reach.

For example a handyman contractor or bakery or home-based consulting service, by participating in the ECA Program will expand its reach to a national or even international base of potential customers.

You can even approach online retailers; they will love to expand their customer base through TripleClicks.

An affiliate may differ from others about how to build his/her SFI business. He may want to build a network of affiliates or sponsor new ECAs and TripleClicks members or a combination of all three. You may be passionate to do all of these, but if you lack financial investment, you’re not going any further. An investment of Standing Order, it could be TCredits or IAHBE to become an EA, will open the way to start expanding your business. You need also to invest in sponsoring affiliates, ECAs and TripleClicks members depending on your monthly budget. You can apply the methods of Sponsoring (beginners, intermediate and advanced). Always keep in mind the guidelines in “Be An Awesome Sponsor (and create big income duplication)”.

As a Team Leader, how would you best communicate to your affiliates about investing at least certain amount of money to start with SFI is a smart way?

Make it simple by showing them an example. You will need to emphasize that they can only start receiving commission as per Compensation Plan, if they become EA, maintain EA2 and move up to the next level position of Team Leader.

Most affiliates joined SFI because; they can start on their own without investing money upfront. By starting with small investment, with time as their ally, coupled with, their determination, perseverance and consistency, they’ll be able to build their SFI business.

How to Start:

The second and third months of new affiliate’s SFI journey are critical. If they are to succeed, they will need to maintain EA2 and sponsoring at the same time. Being a Team Leader in order to help those affiliates learn the value of investing towards building their team, I will lead them as an example. By using the Genealogy, it’s easy to find out who is consistent in logging in and accumulating the daily VP Streak; and who are interested by keeping in touch asking questions.

First, I will show them the importance of logging in to SFI homepage everyday. In details, the monthly VPs breakdown. By knowing the total monthly Action VPs, they’ll be able to assess themselves and plan accordingly to achieve their goals. I’ll give my full support to them this could be in the form of TCredits or Gift Certificates to help them achieve their goals.

By doing this, you have shown them your trust and commitment in helping them to move forward.

To answer your question, you will need to evaluate your goal and your motivation upon joining SFI. As you learn the SFI BASICS and LAUNCHPAD, you must now have a clear understanding of how SFI works.

The core principle of your SFI business is duplication. This is an excellent concept of a business opportunity. From a relatively small investment you’ll acquire and gain control of a much larger investment. You start building your downline then teach and train them what you do. You’re passing to your downline your skill and your downline will also pass on what they have learnt from you to their own affiliates. This process will be repeated over and over again. You’ll benefit from VP Matching, TC Executive Pool, etc. You will need to invest on your downline which requires much of your time and some financial investment.

Establishing the growth of your SFI business requires your determination, persistence and commitment. You can classify this as your long term goal.
SFI provide all affiliates the SFI’s Pay-Per-Action (SFIPPA) program, another source of supplemental income streams, which is optional. This program allows you to act as an advertiser for SFI and earn supplemental income by getting others to take actions such as filling out forms. You can earn up to $10 per action.

To make the decision for you easier, to or not to participate in the SFIPPA program, here are points for you to consider:

- Think about your personality type

You don’t mind earning a bit of cash for helping SFI acquire new affiliates for others in the SFI community, who opt for purchasing PSAs. The majority of my team members are still working full time, so they choose to purchase PSAs to start building their own teams, while keeping their full time job. Some of them would like to quit their full time job and work at home with their SFI business.

- Do you need to earn extra income as you grow your SFI business?

Some affiliates are experienced network marketers, so they might take advantage of the SFIPPA program. Because of their experience in network marketing, it could just be easy for them to do both growing their own SFI businesses and participating in SFIPPA program. SFI created the SFIPPA program, which is optional and shouldn’t be taken away from those who have the skill in this aspect and like to earn extra cash, while expanding the growth of their SFI business.

- Focus on your long term goal.

Don’t compare your SFI business with the SFIPPA program. Your SFI business requires long term commitment but the rewards are great, your earning potential is unlimited. The SFIPPA program allows you only to earn $10 per action. Do you have more time to invest for SFIPPA as you focus on growing your SFI business?
