I'm actually a very knowledgeable person in that area due to my recently having spent so much time researching this. I'm in the process of setting up an ECA that will sell TE traffic and I'm making my own new Traffic Exchange site too.

There are many TE sites and you should join a number of them. DON'T immediately upgrade! Check the site out as a free member first. You might find that site doesn't work well for you and you'll be able to move on. Upgrade later to earn more credits AFTER you're comfortable with the TE.

What to look for:

1. Surf the site and watch for SFI ads to come up. If they are too frequent then that TE site might be saturated with SFI. If the SFI business gateways are the only ones coming up, then you might consider going with an ECA gateway, a shopping gateway or a pricebender gateway. (Remember that there are more than one way to earn with SFI)

2. If the TE site has a top surfer bar, then note what the high numbers are. If some of the spots have 0 hits or less than 100 then it is either early in the day or it's telling you that there are few surfers on that TE site. If the spots are all in the high hundreds or even in the thousands then you might be concerned that the really big numbers could represent robot-clickers or power-surfers and neither of those will help you much.

3 Take full advantage of the promotions. Watch for the emails and copy/past the surf codes to get the special deals. Look on the TE site's home page for surf codes.

4 MAKE NOTES. Look in the 'surf rewards' to know how many clicks you need to do to get the reward you want. The highest numbers are often not the best value. Click to the number you've previously decided on and then move on to another TE site.

Happy surfing and I hope I've been helpful

The best marketing tool for me might not be the optimum one for you to use because we all have different strengths and weaknesses. Allow me to offer several examples to show you precisely what I mean and to give you a choice for you to choose your own best marketing tool.

1. Some people are very social and gregarious. For those individuals, the social networks would provide the ideal venue to market successfully. A good marketing tool for people with a large or loyal following on twitter, facebook or other is the deal of the day found on your TC tab. I click that 'share button' everyday so I don't just get a Vpoint, I also get the message out to my friends and followers.

2. Some people are able to focus in and perform monotonous tasks like clicking Traffic Exchange links. For those persons, and I confess to being one, the beneficial tools from SFI could be the various gateway pages at https://www.sfimg.com/MyAccount/GatewayList . The best tip I can suggest for you is to find some good TE sites and then upgrade so you get the best bang for your buck to use vernacular instead of calling it what it is in getting the highest return of hit credits for your clicks.

3. Other affiliates may be artistic or talented in creating attractive websites. I'll also toss in here that an affiliate may be a fluent writer with interesting opinions to blog about. In this instance the best tool or marketing weapon in the SFI arsenal might be the marketing aids section. https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/MarketingCenter Make sure you go though and check off some of your favorites to save having to page through all of them over and over to find the ones you like.

4. Your SFI business strategy might be rooted in the bricks and mortar world and in that instance either tripleclicks X cards or gift cards might be the golden ticket to marketing success.

These are just 4 examples and I haven't even mentioned the ECA program. My point is that SFI has some wonderful tool for an array of marketing strategies and the affiliates under you might even end up 'duplicating' in a completely different way.

To get really big traffic to your SFI website you only need to buy the traffic. But to afford that really big traffic you probably have to go to the cheapest source and that might be the traffic exchange or TE sites. What kind of quality can you expect from that big traffic? Well, the surfers you get are mostly the owners of other websites who also want traffic so they are clicking hundreds or thousands of times to get reciprocal hits. Finding an actual buyer in that is like looking for the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Your better question here might be 'How do I attract GOOD traffic to my website'. For that your strategy would have to run towards search engine or to the traffic that comes to/from a trusted blogger's recommendation or a strong social media personality's advice. Both of those traffic sources can be really big too and then you have the ideal blend of quantity AND quality.

Someone with time on their hands can succeed at SFI even if they don't have much internet savvy. Certainly someone like a senior citizen on a fixed income might have the motivation to succeed. That is a winning combination.

I would suggest the senior citizen could join a traffic exchange or two and simply put their SFI gateways as their website links. Then the person need only to click and click and click again to success. This isn't the fastest was to succeed by far but it is inexpensive and requires very little internet ability.

If you can click a mouse, you can earn a second income.

My initial thought on this would be encapsulated with a quote "Why look a gift horse in the mouth?" But on a second thought I suppose I have a better response.

The actions may be only one point each but those do add up and they could ultimately mean the difference between whether you finish up a given month as an EA or a BTL. In that instance then the single versa points have been worth a share of free CSA reassignments.

Further though to what the todo actions are valued in points as, think instead of what they are for your business and reaching your dreams.

A few examples;

A. The forum is a point - but it also keeps you abreast of things and changes. I personally find that reading about the experiences other affiliates have had and the contributed answers are REALLY helpful to me, even though I say so often enough.

B. Movers is a point - but it is also an overview of what your down line people are doing. You should be looking at this everyday even if you weren't getting a point for it.

C. ECA and the deal of the day on TC are a point each, and new products on the todo page is another point. That's 3 points but if you do a blog post or do a share on on social media of what is there, then you greatly increase your exposure over time.

What I'm saying here is that the daily VPoints aren't just what they are, they are also what you make them and that could be nothing or everything at your choice.

Dear Augustina;

Think of the compensation you earn from SFI in terms of a delicious turkey meal. The direct commissions on sales is the meat and the Co-sponsor commissions are the potatoes. Your TCredit status bonus and the ECA Referral money would be as the veggies and the stuffing. The pay-per-action if you do that might be a desert for afterwards.

The TripleClicks Executive Pool is the wonderful gravy ladled on top of it all.

I'm getting this from the compensation plan page linked below and any vegetarians or people from other cultures with different dietary preferences should insert other meal entree's to suit their palates.

https://www.sfimg.com/Reference/CompPlan

That exquisitely tasty gravy or whatever flavorful sauce you choose to equate to the Executive pool is worth 40% of the CV on every single TripleClicks sale and it is distributed from as deep as 6 levels down for a Bronze Team Leader and up to 12 Tiers for a Diamond. So as your affiliates become more active you have extra incentive to achieve higher and higher standing.

SFI grows and prospers from the positive and success of the all the participants that drive sales at TripleClicks. Sponsors grow and prosper from the SFI Affiliates fledging their wings at marketing and promoting. The Executive Pool is the distribution system that ensures that everyone benefits from the success of the whole system.

I hope you find this helpful :-)

What people want to do or what they aspire to do is their own business and certainly differing people think differently. I would tell that person that filling out forma and typing is job where you need a boss to tell you what work to do and then pay you for it. Unfortunately, the internet bosses that do that are not always reputable and honest. Some want a person to do the work but they don't like to pay and others totally misrepresent how much can be earned.

The pivotal key in this question though is where it says 'to a PSA who states'. This shows that the person seeking forms and typing work is already involved with SFI. Ask them why or if the two occupations need to be exclusive. Can the PSA still work on better their future with SFI while ALSO looking for and doing typing work that may or may not pay off.

There is a saying that goes 'A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush'. I suggest that the bird she already has in hand is the famous goose that lays the golden eggs and she should continue to foster that one.

Oliver;

I suspect you'll get a number of differing answers to this poignant question. Here is my take on the question of Sponsorship and Co-Sponsorship. People throughout SFI keep talking about 'duplication' but from my perspective the only 'duplication' that will happen is downstream from me. My sponsor has been almost totally absentee. She doesn't even put anything into stream post, I haven't gotten any; feedback, incentives, rewards, congratulations, advice, or anything else. The only reason I don't mark her down to zero is I'm too softhearted - or because I'm a go it on my own person and luckily so in this case.

I'm not really complaining here because I think that if your sponsor is not a comet whose tail you can grab for an easy ride up, you will have to eventually exceed your sponsor to succeed on your own merits.

I suspect that there are more poor sponsors than there are good ones - yet people like me are still succeeding somehow. (my case is bull-headed determination) So I have to believe that having a good sponsor is nice but not critical.

My Co-Sponsor is only recent for me as I suppose I got reassigned. He posts in the stream but it's mostly inspirational in nature. The co-sponsor doesn't have nearly the same vested interest in CSA's as in PSA's I think. So if you get a really helpful one it's a bonus.

I say you should plan on doing it mostly on your own. Then if you don't get lucky in the Sponsor & Co-Sponsorships t won't be demoralizing.

This is an excellent question: I'm a disabled person but I think my primary disability is that I haven't acquired sufficient marketing skills - yet. Marketing, team-building, effective communication and Internet savvy are skills that can be taught to anyone. Those talents can easily be mastered irregardless of what physical disabilities a person might have.

What does it actually take to become successful with SFI anyways?

1. A person needs to have the personal drive and dedication to check in everyday to do the routine tasks that will earn points and ultimately build the SFI business one step at a time. Many able bodied people are truly handicapped because they don't possess the determination to become successful.

2. A person needs to have an optimistic mind to see that the road ahead is not short but that the course is straight. A disabled person has already experienced setbacks in life that non-handicapped person might have quailed at and they are already working through them. Conversely the path to succeeding at SFI is precisely the same for both.

3. Success takes team building and training your affiliates to duplicate your success and that requires communication skills. Unless the disability is in something that interferes with speech or keyboarding, a handicapped person is as able-minded as the able-bodied are.

4. You specifically mentioned marketing skills and I confessed that I haven't enough of those yet but the training in SFI can allow me to overcome that obstacle. In fact I think your question would be just as valid if the disabled aspect were removed from the equation. "How can an able-bodied person with no marketing skills build a successful business with SFI?" Both in the same way.

5. The final point I'll mention here is time and in this regard the disabled person may even hold the advantage towards being successful if they are on a disability allowance. That could mean the disabled person could build their SFI business on a full-time basis.

I suppose my overall point is that in many parts of life the disabled person is disadvantaged. Here at SFI though, the able-bodied person might be the one with the possible handicap as listed in point Number 5.
