The most important thing for any new affiliate to do is to review the 3 colored links in the upper right of the affiliate center. The first one is grey - START. There is a video with Gery Carson himself doing the teaching. I believe it is so crucial not to fly through this page. It clears up a lot of the confusion about doing this type of business. The ultra simplified 3 steps to DTL are here! Did you understand that? If you follow the information discussed here you can become a DTL. It all

You can reassure your affiliates and affirm correct actions taken. Everyone likes a pat on the back. So, send out those kudos and smileys and give your PSAs the confidence that they need. When they have a question just let them know that you will do the research and get back with them asap. Explain to them exactly how you found the answer so they can in turn mentor their affiliates. Honest is not only the best policy it is the only policy.

I say variety is the spice of life and you should try your hand at all of the Eager Zebra games. That said, you may be better at some than at others. So the ones that you are good at, why not exploit for more TCredits, VP, and MRP? Your chances are good rather it is Pick-the-Price, KO Trivia, TD Tally, Pick or Punt, Time Machine, or T Time.

One thing for sure, there is no way that you can play and not win. I've said it once, and I will say it again TripleClicks is fast becoming the

Skype is a formidable tool that you can use to do conference calls with your team but it does have limitation. You can have so many members on at a time as a free member but even with a professional skype membership, it has limitation. Any medium that allows for dialog is a good one. You can past on tips and answer questions. Start with a free account then as your needs grow you might consider the premium skype membership.

Youtube is very effective as well but you must make very

The best use of 100 dollars invested into ones SFI business would be to produce quality affiliates and generate sales. So what I do is invest part of my budget in gift certificates to reward my workers and encourage network sales. The rest of my budget goes into sponsoring new affiliates not just in my 1st generation but also subsequent generations.

Growing your network is one of the single most important objectives of your SFI business for reasons that should be obvious. The larger

Fast Track 2.0 is another opportunity for some affiliates to make fast track. This is like a second chance. Often we don't get a second chance but when afforded one; take it and make good of the opportunity. It is advantageous for everyone to participate in the program. More sales, and prestige comes with the program. The more sales that flow into TripleClicks the more money is available for the executive pool. So everyone can benefit if they do the necessary work to maintain EA.

Here are the benefits of Pricebender auctions as I see them:

1. You can get name brand merchandise for pennies on the dollar. This saves you money.

2. You can have fun while you shop from the comfort of your home. No crowds to deal with - no long lines to check out. When you win - you can check out and your merchandise will arrive to your addresses within a matter of days.

3. You earn 5 membership reward points for every bid in most auctions but in DP auctions

The most important tool at SFI really is the SFI business center itself! It is the 'home office' for everything you need to build your SFI business. Logging in daily is paramount because you don't want to leave your PSAs hanging! You need to be available and visible for your team. Even if don't have a team yet, everything is right there in the affiliate center. Every month there are new improvements to make the SFI business center even more efficient. Without it, you would have access to nothing

If your advertising is not providing you satisfactory results, then there are a few factors that you need to consider.

1. How frequent are you advertising? Are you using just free ads 1 time per day or are you using 10 free ads everyday?

2. How consistent are you with your advertising? Are you just promoting by the seat of your pants when you find the time or do you have a schedule that you have been following for at least 30 days consistently?

3. Is your

Absolutely, I know offline marketing can be as effective as online marketing. Why? Simply stated it is face-to-face marketing! You have the first hand knowledge to solve the problem of that all of your prospects face - a reliable means earning additional income with low or no upfront cost or out of pocket expense. You should do all of the aforementioned advertising. Be the expert. Know your product and be clear about expectations. This is definitely the way to do business not just offline
