In my honest opinion, I'd have to say TCredits. S-builder units are wonderful but they don't generate immediate commission volume. The affiliates are sparsely populated and I don't have any that have remained as long as I have. The IAHBE is wonderful and would be my second best option. There is so much to be gleaned from an IAHBE membership. Here are just a few:

1. Over $800 dollars in bonus material

2. The Book of the Month

3. The Magazine of the Month

4. The Learning Center

5. Software Downloads

6. Online Resources to help Build Your Business

7. An Intro Pak

8. A support desk

9. And a whole lot MORE!!

Oh . . . did I mention commissions volume which yields $7.67 in DCs! You would think that this is great and it is but TCredits are the 'gift that keeps on giving'!

TCredits are not only the currency of pricebender auctions, they are potent paks of commission building "vitamins"! Supercharge any SFI business strategy with these. For starters, you can bid in auctions for name brand merchandise for pennies on the dollar! I've won auctions with very few bids . . . although those opportunities exist they are becoming fewer with growth. Moreover you can use TCredits to redeem merchandise, download your favor tunes, generate commission volume for DCs, participate in contest to win even more TCredits, list items on your TConnect for cash that you can put in your pocket - you keep your profit!

TCredits can be transferred in limited quantity to your downline. This is a neat strategy to help affiliates get adjusted to pricebender auctions. Auctions are addictive so discipline and a budget is needed. Any affiliate that ever plays and wins will be hooked! This leverages 10 TCredits to create lifetime value in direct commissions which is practically priceless.

Actions speak louder than words any day of the week and twice on Sunday! It is a matter of will. Some people are not risk takers and therefore no business will be right for them. Others are distracted. So until they have clarity and focus on the business they will not be of much use. Still others hit the ground running for a while then when they don't see the results they expected they give up.

I've had gold and silver team leaders that returned back to affiliates and I have had affiliates who remain affiliates but continue to plug away at it. So the golden rule is action. Consistent, frequent, and scalable action is the only way you know that anyone is serious. One day at a time is all you can ask.

The best way to present the S-Builder co-op is to show the advantages it has over other co-ops. It should be understood that co-ops are used to spread the cost of advertising among members in lieu of shares based on participation. Members do not necessary receive equal shares but the idea is that the buying power of many can be leveraged to help those who otherwise would not be able to participate. Accordingly, paid advertising is the most responsive form of advertising and since most affiliates are cash strapped they can benefit from the buying power of the co-op since costs for ads are generally kept at a minimum.

So 1 advantage that the S-Builder has over any other ECA co-op is that the cost per share is going to remain $22/share for SFI affiliates who are W3 participants. Because the cost per share is usually controlled by how many participants there are in the co-op, other ECA co-ops may go up in cost per share. Not so, with the S-builder. Moreover, advertising platforms may change pricing and therefore cause an increase in share price. This is possible with the S-Builder but because SFI is so large any affiliate can leverage the buying power of the many which keeps ad costs a flat rate.

Finally, it should be noted that not only does the flat rate of the S-Builder co-op keep the cost of advertising low but also affiliates leverage low cost to grow their network business with minimal effort. There is no need to worry about monitoring ads, placing ads, negotiating costs, and all of the 1001 things that have to be done to run a successful promotion. Just must a minimal investment and watch your business grow practically on auto-pilot! The S-builder removes a lot of the guess work and hard work so affiliates can spend time on other aspects of the business and get more time freedom. The S-builder saves affiliates time and money and it is a power tool that packs a powerful punch!

The best keywords to use in paid advertising are those that attract your ideal prospect. If you want a ton of "free loaders" then put "free" in your ads and you will attract them them flies attracted to a cow patty! But if you want to attract serious minded entrepreneurs, then use words like long-term investment opportunity working from home.

For Adwords you can actually improve your quality score by selecting the type of keywords that you don't want to rank for. These are called negative keywords. When running a paid campaign on Google or any search engine just remember that you can pick ideal keywords based on the landing page. Just type the url in the keyword tool and it will pick out keywords based on your site content. If you use meta tags properly, rank for words related to the content, description, and keywords.

The higher your quality score the better your ads will perform and your ad cost will be lower. Therefore, it is essential to know all you can about your product and your ideal customer when setting up campaigns and generally long tail keywords work better than 1 particular word. Keep it all relevant to your ideal prospect.

I know where you are coming from with your question and I come from a very large family. There is no one working this business in my family but me. But when they see my success, then they will come running. It's okay. Even then, some will not join. This type of business is not for everyone. Not everyone can be a leader in this capacity.

Therefore, the best thing you can share with them is the truth about your own experience in SFI. If that is not good enough for them, then none of the other facts, and figures will be. All eyes will be on YOU! You are the proof in the pudding. So resolve within yourself, that if you are going to do this business give it 100%.

Feel free to share with them a little about the background of the company, the compensation plan, and TripleClicks. It's all exciting to us. But to many of them, we are dancing to a different tune. I wouldn't waste my time trying to PROVE anything to anybody. Just do it. Should they ever become interested and want to follow you then lead them.

Long range goals should be set according to the needs of each SFI business owner. Everyone's 'why' is different. Some people join SFI because they want to get out of debt and others want to earn money to improve their lifestyle. Accordingly one must make goals accordingly. If it is your goal to get wealthy with SFI, then you should know up front that you will have to invest a considerable amount of time and money into SFI. Many affiliates have been in from the beginning . . . that's going on 16 years!

I asked one leader why he stayed and he said that he is creating an income stream that will help him in retirement. So his goals and actions have to be congruent with his 'why'. So the question you need to ask yourself, is why have you joined SFI and what is it that you hope to gain and when. Then set your short and long range goals based on your answer.

I happen to think that we all come to SFI to make money so why not set financial benchmarks for your business and verify that you are on track to make those goals. If not adjust accordingly and keep working toward your goals.

There is not enough of you to empower them. So be the best you can be. Don't worry about if they want to participate in your team contest. It's a waste of your energy. Yes, have contest but no do not sweat the small stuff.

You are the catalyst. You are key to your own success. Don't give your success to others nor give your pearls to swine. Affiliates need to understand that nothing from nothing is nothing. So if you get affiliates that do nothing it is because they have done nothing. You may try to lead them to success. You can not do it. When they see success and go for it with all their heart you can stop them either!

Learn a parable. A firestorm is caused by a small spark in the the thatch. Then it become a blaze. As it burns it gains strength. It gets hotter & hotter until it creates it's own power to affect anything in its path. It becomes so hot that water dump on it is like gasoline! Because it vaporizes the water into gases because of the intensity of the heat.

You are the spark. When you are a firestorm you will not have to ask or beg them to do anything. They will be set on fire by the heat of your blaze and not only so but also all who are around you.

Answers can be found by querying the vast knowledge base of the affiliate center. Let the affiliate know that it will take you a moment to check on the information and you will get back with them in a specified period of time. In the upper right is the search feature. It is very easy to use and find just about any answer that you need. Should you not be able to match keywords for the query that you are looking for then you can use the site map. The site map indexes all of the major sections of the affiliate center. There are subsections so using the site map maybe more cumbersome than using the query function.

Moreover, if for some reason you cannot seem to find what you are looking for by query, or site map then you may ask your sponsor. Sponsors are not always as knowledgeable as the site map or query database but many times they can point you in the right direction. Never overlook the fact that your sponsor can be a valuable source of information even if he or she is not a team leader as of yet.

Finally you can always query the forum, an A2A contact, or just have the affiliate to submit a ticket. It is easier just to query for the information than submitting a ticket or even reaching out to a fellow connection. While the forum is a good place to get feedback, it is not necessarily the best place for accurate information. You are better off asking your sponsor or just have the affiliate to submit a ticket as a last resort.
