To be the best affiliate you can, stay in contact with your sponsor and follow their recommendation. Loyalty pays in more ways than one. When your sponsor sees that you value their opinion by following their recommendations then doubtless you will get more help from that sponsor/mentor.

Nothing is more disheartening as sending out your messages to deaf ears. Affiliates should know - you reap what you sow. So take the time to build rapport with your sponsor if you want your affiliates

The Eager Zebra games are important because they support the sale of TCredits. This is the no.1 selling product on TripleClicks. Everyone would like to play at least 1 of the Eager Zebra Games. Some people like getting stuff for free so the W3 and T-Time works great for a chance to get free TCredits which can be used to get a free music download. Another person may be a football fan so Pick or Punt and TD Tally would be right up their alley! Others are a bit of a gambler so KO Trivia and Pricebenders

Being fully self-employed with SFI is a matter of your mindset. I am fully employed with SFI. I am doing whatever I need to do to grow my business. So that is what you tell them. I am in business for myself but not by myself. I am a network marketer. As such, I connect with other marketers to promote our domain, TripleClicks.

If you are an ECA, then you are not only promoting TripleClicks but you are also promoting whatever you offer on your ECA. Moreover, know that you are a

Good question. The power of focus is phenomenal. Not only does it afford you the opportunity to be excellent at your craft but it also helps you to maximize your resources for the maximum benefit. Advertising can be a very costly venture. It is something that you must commit to for the long haul in order to saturate your target audience with your message. This message should be consistent and frequent enough so that it gives your target prospect certainty and solve their problem within a reasonable

Membership in a social site like Linkedin can definitely help you build your SFI business. Yet, you must use your social marketing channels as they were intended to be used. If you don't, they your account will be limited or frozen. Furthermore your posts will be blocked. So it is more appropriate to ask how do you build your social presence on social networks to build your business.

Businesses need to understand that social networking sites are intend just for that - being sociable.

Do you use any type of conference calling to help your affiliates with training or recruiting? If so, which one do you recommend and how beneficial is this type of communication?

Yes, I do telephone consultations. Did one yesterday as a matter of fact. The affiliate was very eager to learn and I was very eager to teach and this is what I recommend. One on one communication by any means necessary. Always work with the workers and those who are trying! ;)

In the future, I will be doing webinars, seminars, skype, video conferencing via Google hangouts (cool ;) ) and live regional conferences. I look forward to working with YOU via one of these venues.

How can I convince new affiliates of the importance of logging in at the Affiliate Center every day?

It is very important to stick to a regimen and be consist for consistent results. Nevertheless, everyone has a different lifestyle as well as different reasons for being in SFI. EA can be achieve with very little if any investment of money and/or greater investment of time. Everyone should understand the importance of maintain EA2. Anything beyond this, really is icing on the cake.

Everyone's goals are different. Sponsors and their networks should have a very good relationship so

I know the feeling all to well of wanting to quit. Then I remind myself of why I started in the first place. Why? Why did I even begin the journey with SFI? What did I hope to gain? What were my expectation? Then I asked myself, if I quit now have I or will I achieve what I set out to achieve by any other way? What alternative do I have?

Then I decided that rather than quit, I would persevere. I would keep pushing forward. My resources are limited but God's resources are not!

If you are trying to maintain some of the higher milestones then I'm sure you have a standing order in place. Then you send out a communication to inform your team that you will be taking some time off. Give them opportunity to ask any questions and answer them. Set your account to vacation mode and go on vacation. Enjoy!

When you return back to your business, be prepared to focus on the ideas that came to you over the vacation and continue growing your business. Vacation time is

The best advice I can give on answering Ask SC questions is to be straight to the point. Much of what you read in Ask SC rambles. So when I vote Ask SC questions I rank them accordingly.

1. Relevance. Answer the question clearly that is asked.

2. Use numbered bullets when you are giving multiple tips.

3. Use white space. This can be tricky. You don't want to draw out text for the sake of white space but use white space to make the text more appealing to
