Generally, our success here at SFI does not depend on our sponsor. Nevertheless good sponsor is needed early in our SFI business. I said good sponsors because if they are not, they are basically useless in building your SFI business.

What are the characteristics of a good sponsor?

1. He should be able to simplify SFI components and processes.

SFI has many components, some are interrelated some are not. This make SFI overwhelming to new affilaites. A good sponsor

It's nice of you to think of fairness in your shipping cost. I am sure you will also benefit from what you want to do.

Well, here is my advise.

1. Research on the available shipping methods from your country to different countries. Usually they are clustered together.

2. Choose the cheapest method and use it.

3. However, most of the cheap method will also take longer time to arrive. So take note of the fastest method too.

4. You can subsidize

Question about acquiring PSA is always good, because in SFI it is quite impossible to prosper without PSA. For those without experience in internet marketing, you still have big chance to get PSA by purchasing guaranteed sign up like PSA to Go or by buying S-builder Coop where sign ups are distributed to each member.

Now the question is which one is better? Note however that neither of these guarantee affiliates who will be active. So, it is not a good basis for choosing which one is better.

So,

You always use both if the auction out for bidding allows auto-bidding. The question is when to use auto-bidding.

Generally there is no fixed rules that can be followed. Biding is very dynamic, it's a tactics. You are fighting real live people who are outsmarting each other. But there are indicators when to use auto-bidding.

This will greatly depend on your purpose. If you want to established your name use auto-bidder until you win the item. This is very risky and you must have

Yes you are missing something if you do not use other resources to communicate to your team.
Remember that Team building is most effective if you also build relationship. Social Media like Facebook is the best place to build relationship.

For your active affiliates although they are logging in regularly and can read your message but you can not engage them in a conversation. The chat facilities in SFI website is not very effective yet unlike the chat in FB.

Advertising co-op is one way of encouraging you affiliates to be active with their SFI business. There are two types of Co-ops that you can set for your affiliates.

1. You pay the cost of advertising. You make the co-op membership as reward to what they have achieved. You can also do this to build relationship among your affiliates specially if you only have few.

2. You divide the Cost among those who would like to join the co-op, either equally or pro-rated depending on his

Many have mentioned the monthly TC, PRM rewards and cash from draws as benefits. I would like to agree with that but there are other two important benefits of being a member of W3.

Remember that we received decal that we put in our cars plus few cards we can give to person who will got interested as they see out decal stickers in out car. Well, for me these are valuable benefits too.

First, the decals in our cars trigger interest among the people who sees it. They will begin

This is a very good question because although the communication facilities inside SFI is sufficient for you to engage your affiliates to a conversation but there is a need to augment communication at SFI with social media sites.

One reason is, communication will not be only between you and your affiliates (which is the case of communication inside SFI)but among your affiliates as well.

Another reason is, some of your affiliates may not ne logging in to their SFI account, therefore
