It is easy to manage an international team. I tell them that I am in ET and I set hours of availability based on my timezone. If they wish to contact me I tell them to simply send me an email and I will get back with them in 24 to 48 hours. As far as learning about cultures, I am willing to learn what I need to know. If I have a working in Pakistan, then I will learn as much as I can about that economy and try to relate to them. The same for a worker in France.

When you receive inactive CSAs don't forget to count your blessings. You either won them or was awarded them so be thankful. Next thing is to draft a short introduction letter about your experience in SFI. Assure them that you are available to support them 150%. In most cases, you will not get a response but it doesn't mean that they are not following up on your progress.

Generally affiliates that want to succeed jump in with both feet and hit the ground running. Those that don't

Absolutely! I can't wait to get some ads running with the new JMT gateway. It's clean and fresh. I highly recommend it because it introduces your prospects to you. They can immediately see your progress and accomplishments without having to do all the talking in your ads. So your ads can be simple. Something like: Start A New Stream of Income - Free to Join Now - Work With My Winning Team! Then add your JMT gateway. Remember the secret lies in the follow up!

Convincing your significant other or spouse of the prudence of your SFI investment can be very daunting. I know first hand. I don't try to tell my spouse about my SFI business because I know that she doesn't see what I see. It makes setting a budget difficult because you want to include your spouse or significant other in these types of decisions.

However, you know them and they know you. They know that you have dreams and aspirations that others may call foolish or wishful thinking.

Paid advertising is the most responsive but free advertising is the most sustainable. So when it comes to a comparison between the two, I'd say if you can afford paid ads run them. If you can not then there are free ways to advertise. What most people are looking for is a silver bullet approach to advertising. There is no such thing.

No matter which form of advertising you use, you will need to test, retest, tweak, and retweak. Fine tune and readjust. There is no easy way out.

Creativity is paramount when it comes to most advertising and promoting the JMT gateway is no different. You must understand that their are over 1 million affiliates who are using the same gateway but there is only 1 you. So as in all advertising, be authentic and approach marketing from a fresh angle.

I plan to promote it on the social networks as well as through article marketing. Safelist advertising can't be overlooked and banner exchanges, text exchanges, link exchanges, or forums

The best way to make your advertising more effective is to track the results then adapt accordingly. Moreover, you must perform test campaigns before you are settled on an ad. This is the main mistake newbie internet marketers make. Most think that you can just pin up ads all over the internet and watch 'the cows come home'.

Marketing is a process. So you must gather information about where you are marketing to determine if that is a good source or not. Then you must create your

No one is. Leaders become leaders because the choose to apply with they learn to achieve their goals. Everyone can do this. Many choose not to because they allow inhibitions to hinder them. Some inhibitions are innate and others are learned. As children we are practically fearless. Yes this too is learned. Fear can be good but most likely fear is bad.

All of us have fears or inhibitions. Things that we try to avoid for whatever reason. May I submit to you that you are afraid

The best way to greet new affiliates so that they will be motivated an active in SFI is to give them a clear goal to shoot for in the next 30 days. Make the reward worthwhile. Since we are all here to make money online why not sweeten the incentive with a cash prize contest.

When new affiliates log in there is a barrage of information at their disposal and they are trying to learn everything in one fell swoop. Too often many get discourage because after hours of reading they are no

What are the best ways to sell TCredits and where is the best place to advertise them?

The best way to sell TCredits is to your downline. The reasoning is simple. Your downline has a 'need' for them and moreover, they should have a vested business interest. TCredits is the main stream of revenue for TripleClicks and moreover, TCredits pack a commission volume (CV) of $22.14 USD and pay a direct commission (DC) of $9.96 USD! So it should be a cake walk to sell 100 units the 200pk of TCredits. Especially with over 30 auctions everyday! You cannot bid in the auction without TCredits.
