Why do some affiliates find success with SFI in just weeks, while for others it takes months or years?

The reason some affiliates find success in weeks while others take months is based on many variables. First of all, success is relative. What one person sees as success another may see as just getting started. Rank is relative. Unless you have been in SFI for some time, you fail to understand that rank is indeed relative. It is possible to have a Platinum team leader rank this month and be EA the next month. Why? Since you can make people decide to do what they know they ought to do, this should be no surprise. Success or failure depends on the individual not the sponsor.
However a good sponsor can be very instrumental in the success of affiliates. It is not valid to claim the sponsor is the reason for success or the lack thereof. Experience plays a big role as well as the application of tools made available. Mastery of the tools is important.
Moreover, geographic region place into the disparity between the success of others due to economic factors. In poorer regions of the globe, it may be easier to build a network of people wanting to make money online but they don't have the resources needed to generate commissions volume which is necessary to earn commissions. Therefore, one must be careful as to the definition of the success achieved.
Regardless, if all variables are equal success depends solely on the commitment of the individual to follow a series of actions daily to achieve the desired result: a monthly residual stream of income. This is not relative to variables in the marketplace when they are removed from the equation. It is simply a matter of working in the right direction.

In my advertising campaigns, is it better to provide more or less information in my ads and why?

Less is better than more because if you give the wrong information you will help your prospect to make a premature decision base on your misinformation. Keeping it simple will ensure success. SFI is free to register and join. The income opportunity is real. Offer your assistance 100%. When you try to explain too much in one ad you complicate the issue and confuse the prospect. Grab attention by using emotional triggers that will attract your ideal prospect. Leave enough mystery about your offer so that your prospect will have to click the ad to find out more at the least. The idea of course is to collect the contact information so that you can follow up with them over a period of time.

Which is better...doing two separate blogs about SFI and TripleClicks...or a single blog about BOTH?

Either way this can be very rewarding. Remember that the internet thrives on content. Offer the best content you can find on both and over time your blog will begin to attract followers. Once your blog has aged, then it's time to look at syndication. If you can get your blog listed in an e-zine or directory of blogs then you will gain even more benefit. Definitely, this can be achieved either way.
How do you get new PSAs to commit to SFI?

You can not get anyone to do something they do not want to do. The idea is to show them the value. Give them the why and show the the how. People who have an affinity for SFI are looking to make money working from home or in their spare time. Give the proofs that SFI pays. You don't have to make wild income claims or show pay statements. All you have to do is give them the simple math. You earn 45% of the commission volume you generate period. Generate $100 in CV and earn $45 or generate $1000 in CV and earn $450! Pay period is around the same time each month for affiliates. Then give them some tried and true ways of generating sales! Once they prove them for themselves you will have a committed PSA for life.

How do you handle being rejected over and over again when presenting the SFI opportunity to others?

I don't like rejection anymore than the next person. But this I do. I purpose to achieve success with or without my family or friends. I purposed to achieve success with or without my network. I purpose to achieve success with or without my sponsor. When I purposed to achieve success not only did I find that I had more success but also I found that more people were determined to help me achieve it.
Call it karma or the law of attraction or whatever you want to call it. But in life, you get more of what you magnify. If you magnify the goodness of God in your life, you tend to find more goodness. So purpose to magnify the rejection less, and you will get less of it and celebrate more success so that you can have more of it!

What's the best way to approach a new PSA with regards to discussing their goals with them?

The best approach to a new PSA when it comes to goals is to pin point there interests. Find out why your PSA joined SFI and what drives them. It helps to know their hobbies and a little about their domestic life. What extracurricular activities are they involved in? Find out about their source of income.
Once you've profiled your PSA appropriately then you are ready to began a discussion on what do you expect from SFI? How much money do you plan on making? How much would you invest in your SFI business if you knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that SFI can help you become financially secure?
Accordingly, you would continue to profile your PSA. So . . . . how much time do you have each day to devote to achieve your goals. Did you catch that transition? Good! That's the best way to approach them. Build rapport and liking then build from there.

What is the best and most valuable use for my personal SFI Website?

I will presume that you mean a site that you built and have access to the source code. The most important thing you can do with your personal website is to grow your business by supporting your network. The best way to do this is to teach them how to recruit and help them recruit PSAs, PRMs, ECAs, SFIPPAs, etc. Growth is the single most important to this business.
Without growth, TripleClicks doesn't have the muscle to build just on products alone. Products are no good without people to buy them. Cheap products or not - no traffic, no growth, no sales, no business!
Therefore, make your duplication process as effortless as possible. Make it stupid simple. Just create a few easy steps written in such a way anyone can follow it. I include the training video along with the steps. Make sure all of your contact info is on the site.

Is it worthwhile to send individual welcome letters to new PSAs...or can I just send out group mailings?

It is not only worthwhile to send individual welcome letters but it is also imperative to their success. Most people come to a business such as ours with a lot of disillusionment. As the sponsor, you should take it upon yourself to make sure that your team has the greatest chance of success.
Even if you as the sponsor is relatively new, you have something to offer to your team because you sponsor them and not the other way around. The best thing a sponsor can do is tell their story. Let your PSAs know that you had to learn how to become effective in this business.
Too many PSAs still feel like it is too difficult to maintain EA. I have maintain it for over 2 years and it doesn't take a lot of money or a 1000 PSAs to do. As a matter of fact ANYONE can become EA! So the job of the individual welcome letter is to set the expectation, clear up any doubt and disillusionment, and build rapport with your team so that you can lead them effectively.
Group mailings on the other hand broadcast messages that should be central for every affiliate. Consequentially, I say that you should send individual messages and group messages. The first way is to build rapport and set expectation so that you can help the team member more effectively manage their course of action to reach their goals. Use the group mailer to dispatch centrals themes for every SFI affiliate such as the importance of supporting TripleClicks.

To get your sites indexed by any search engine all you really need to do is submit your sites to a search engine submission service. There are many that are 100% free. However, to get your site to the top of the SERPs then you have to know a little bit about how search engines work and what they look for when indexing sites. At the end of the day, there is no exact 1, 2, 3, process but it can be observed that sites that use meta tags properly will usually rank better than sites that do not. The factors for Google's algorithm may contain some 200 such factors.
Nevertheless, at the end of the day, content is king. If you want your site to rank well , build or buy a site that get's a ton of traffic because of relevant content and you can write your own paycheck! Ultimately, content determines which site is served up by the search engines in a query. Focus on relevant content and let the gurus worry about the 200 something factors that search engines use to rank pages unless you wish to become an seo expert! It time and money well invested but you can never truly master because the search engines companies control the ppc platforms and when revenue dips - they change the algorithm!

Which TEXT ADS have worked the best for you to attract PSAs?

Text ads are short messages that peak the interest of the prospect to take a certain action. To measure the ones that work the best requires split testing for a period of time. There is no such thing as a best text ad. Because the marketing environment is always changing. So an ad that pulls well for a day or so will eventually not get many hits at all. There is the need for constant improvement and testing. There is no silver bullet text ad that is always going to work every time.
Nonetheless, there is a general approach that you should take to write an effective text ad. Here are a few pointers:
1. Never over promise and under deliver.
2. Always set the expectation
3. Use words that trigger the desired emotional response
4. Peak the interest of the prospect
5. Never reveal too much detail
There are others but basically the text ad serves the purpose of getting the prospect attention and to peak their interest enough to click the ad.
