How do you get your affiliates to approach their SFI business realistically, like a real business, and not some get unrealistic rich quick scheme?

Hello Ester,
To answer your question, paraphrasing it in this way, "Getting your downline to take their SFI business seriously, and not expect success to come overnight!" Ester, I have found that there is but one way:
Through my own experiences Ester, they themselves must feel it!
The old saying "You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink" totally applies here. Those who join SFI join with a preconceived notion. The ones who joins expecting to get rich overnight, soon discover SFI is not the kind of business for their unrealistic expectations. While those who join and understand it will take more reasonable time and actions on their parts, are more prepared for the long haul, and adjust! These are the ones who need no convincing to operate their "SFI business realistically, whereas the others, well, you couldn't convince them no matter how hard you try.
Point is, either they desire to treat or "approach" the business in a realistic way, or they don't. Either way, it's out of our control. As sponsors and co-sponsors, our goals should be clear - which are to follow the SFI business plans ourselves, learn everything we possibly can, instructing them with the purpose of having them duplicate our efforts and, of course, assisting them to the utmost of our abilities.
Anything short of that Ester, is a waste of time and effort!
I hope this helps.

I have one hour daily and a monthly budget of $50. What activities should I do to grow my SFI business?

Believe it or not, Mohammed, "one hour a day" is more than enough time once you have mastered the BASICS of the Program: https://www.sfimg.com/SFIBasics
In the beginning, use your "one hour daily" to learn, learn and learn some more. As you gain in knowledge, begin building your own Team (downline) by using part of your "$50 a month budget" to invest in S-Builders and TCredits. At the same time, promote your SFI and TripleClicks gateways as much as possible.
I hope this helps you.

What should an affiliate do if their sponsor is non-responsive?

Hey there Michael,
In answer to your question, "What should an affiliate do if their sponsor is non-responsive?"
Please take my answer exactly as stated.
First, learn from what you desire from a sponsor. You know what it feels like not to get the answers you seek. Therefore, don't YOU go "non-responsive" to those in your Team!
Second, I think in this manner. I actually don't need a sponsor to assist me. Why? Because I look upon SFI as being my sponsor. Every one of their marketing plans, tips, training, power tools, etc., represents my sponsor. Get the message?
Still, never forget! Your sponsor could have hundreds of PSAs and CSAs in his downline, requiring their immediate attention. Point I'm trying to make is, when all else fails, look to SFI as your sponsor. They have the proven plans. Use them, learn them, and share them with your own Team.

How can I attract people who have money to invest into a business to join my SFI team?

Good Day Robert,
Basically, you would "attract people who have money to invest" the same way you can attract those who don't. Since SFI is FREE to join and members are not required to purchase anything to maintain their affiliateship, this represents a GREAT opportunity even for those with limited to no money to initially invest. That being said, those who do have money to invest, can benefit greatly, from the beginning, thus finding overall success more quickly.
May I suggest that those whom you come into contact with having money to invest, you point out to them that if they apply all the basics, as recommended, apply all the work needed to succeed, just as we all must, they, by having money to invest, initially, are well ahead of most who join SFI, in terms of obtaining benefits and the desired, overall SUCCESS this opportunity can bring.
In summary, just point out to them basics such as building their own Team (downline), learning the SFI way, and teaching DUPLICATION, can lead them to success whether they initially have "money to invest" or not. Remember, Robert, having money to invest means absolutely nothing, if the basics aren't applied to their everyday operations.
I hope this helps you.

I want to recruit only SERIOUS affiliates. What should I tell prospects about SFI to ensure this?

Good Day Alvin!
I highly recommend that you "Tell them the TRUTH!"
Still, of course, there are no guarantees they will accept what you say, but it's the absolute BEST start.
Explain who and what SFI and TripleClicks are (i. e. how long they've been in business, their membership affiliations, the success they've had, etc.), as well as even though SFI is free to join and they can make money without investment (thanks to TripleClicks.com), they must still put forth substantial efforts to achieve desired success. SFI is not some "get rich quick" type of business. It's real, and requires true dedication on the parts of those participating in it.
In closing, learn the important aspects of SFI/TripleClicks, and TELL THE TRUTH!

What are the most cost effective way to increase your chances of success with SFI?

Regardless of how little you invest in your SFI/TripleClicks business, if your mind isn't right, you can't possibly succeed!
In terms of your mind being right, I believe you must understand the aspects of your business. All areas of the business and the overall benefits to you. Training, marketing, and taking advantage of your support lines (i.e. sponsor, co-sponsor, ASK SC, forum, etc.) are the keys to "getting your mind right!"
Once you have, then think "cost effective," focusing on the products in your TripleClicks E-Commerce Store. Understand the distances these products can take you, and in many (most) instances, without cost to you. Your family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, etc., can become your permanent customers while, at the same time, you are building a downline of "like-minded" people teaching them to DUPLICATE what you, yourself, have done.
I hope this answer helps you!

What's the best way to get more VersaPoints?

Hello SAIDI MAMAT SAIDI,
As I'm sure you've already found out, there are many ways to receive VersaPoints. However, it is my opinion that the absolute "best way" to receive them, is by logging on each and everyday and performing all of your "Red Tab" Daily Actions! Each "Red Tab" action can be reached through your "To-Do List."
Why log in everyday?
For one thing, within each "daily action" you perform, you'll find vital information that you can find useful and vital to the expansion of your SFI Affiliate Business. In other words, and in addition to the "SFI BASICS" and "LAUNCHPAD" lessons, within your daily actions performed, you continue to learn, understand and expand your SFI business.
Doing your "RED TAB" Daily Assignments helps you to increase your VersaPoint earnings by allowing you to participate in SFI's "WIN IT" Daily Grand, where you can win hundreds of VersaPoins. You must, however, accumulate a minimum of 10 VersaPoints (daily) to enter the "Daily Grand" Drawing each and everyday!
Finally, the more you perform these daily "Red Tab" actions, the more you will learn the various other ways to receive VersaPoints for the expansion of your SFI Business.
I hope this answer helps you SAIDI!

What do you tell an affiliate who says he's going to quit because nothing is coming of his efforts and hard work?

Hello Wilfreda,
Let me begin by saying, this is an "EXTRAORDINARY OPPORTUNITY" for you to test your leadership skills. Plus, you have been afforded a 'true' advantage that in most cases we affiliates don't get, which is an actual headsup on what an individual downline member plans to do. In other words, he/she communicated his/her intent to you!
In this situation, my first instinct would be to find out what that person's "efforts and hard work" actually entails. In other words, is he/she directing his/her "efforts and hard work" in ways that are most likely to bring positive results, or is he/she simply doing the wrong same things over and over again and again, and each time expecting a different result?
My suggestion is, you must find out how this person is going about performing his daily advertising and promoting. Is he/she actually sticking to SFI's marketing methods, training, etc.. And/or what actual methods are he/she using. Of course, it would help if your knowledge base is, at the very least, adequate.
I hope my answer helps you Wilfreda, even in a small way!

What is the best way to learn (after SFI training) about advertising using the internet when you are a complete novice?

This is a good question, and it is one I have asked myself. Truth is, every effective method of LEARNING/ADVERTISING is covered in SFI's Internet Income Course as part of our training and, of course, learning experience. You can search the web to discover others offering similar training techniques. But when it's all said and done, you find that their suggestions are no different than the FREE training and learning methods found here at SFI. I hope this answer has helped. It's sure helped me!
Many affiliates seem only interested in the Daily To-Do list. How can I motivate them to do other activities?

Good Day to you, Daphne Fohe!
First, you must make certain that you understand the "other activities" that can be performed by your Downline Team Members, and accomplish them yourself. Then, you must communicate your understanding to them, illustrating your own success in performing them. Needless to say, this is an important part of "Leading by Example" and it will better help you to persuade and/or "MOTIVATE" your team to move from the "To-Do List" onto the many "Other Activities" needed to help secure the SUCCESS they want to achieve.
I hope my answer helps you, even if just a little!
