Eager to earn people are normally very enthusiastic and chances is good that they will do good in this business if guided well.

The generally accepted norm is that any business takes lots of time to establish and build up from the ground and finally start to make money. And it is true. That’s also what most of the answers suggest and although it take hard work and lot of effort to build your business in SFI, you can, if making the right moves, start earning substantial from your second

Rating 30 Questions at ASK SC today, I again realized the importance of reading.

As stated so many times by so many people, Leaders are Readers.

As a SFI Affiliate and most probably a future or present Team Leader, Your most important task is to build and lead a team of affiliates. You'll have to be an example and teach them to duplicate your efforts. To be able to do that properly you need knowledge of SFI as a company, of Internet Marketing, of Social Media Marketing,

To become Diamond Team Leader, because that underpins all other goals that you could have set for yourself:

* Building a huge team of active affiliates
* Building a huge customer base
* Building a huge team of CSA's
* Having multiple income streams
* Etc.

To have all of the above the qualifications for DTM will provide, namely having 5 PTL's under you and having a SO of 1500VP. Just use "The Plan" that SFI has published.

Should my ads link to my own webpage/blog...or to an SFI Gateway? Which is the best approach and why?

If you have a very good webpage or blog that you maintain with good, valuable and fresh content you can link to it, because that will help it to become an authority in this space and rank higher on searches also. But it must be structured very well with not to many clicks to take your prospect to where you want him/her to go, that is to your converting funnel. You want them to take the action you intended for them. People don't normally click more than 3 times after reading your ad, so make it short.

If you could completely start over with SFI today, knowing what you know now, what would you do differently?

Within the first 24 hours I will do enough Getting Started Actions to get 500VP to qualify for Fast Track Badge and get 200VP bonus. That gives you 700VP in your first 24 hours. Then I would work out how much VP I would get from doing my Daily, Weekly and Monthly Actions until the end of that first month and just review the Launch Pad Lessons every day and do only enough Getting Started and Intermediate Actions to get the balance of VP needed for EA qualifying 1500VP for the first month.

You attract students the same way you would attract any other persons. There are 2 ways of getting the attention of someone to join SFI: Off-line and On-line. Just keep in mind which demographic group you’re trying to attract and adjust accordingly.

Off-line Methods
- Placing ads (Free or paid for) in printed media like newspapers or magazines (According to me this is not the best way to attract students as I don’t think many read newspapers especially, but there will always

There are a few rules that might help:
• Know how the auctions work (https://www.tripleclicks.com/PBhowItWorks.php)
• Know the rules and policies (https://www.tripleclicks.com/PBrulesAndPolicies.php)
• Study the Tips for winning (https://www.tripleclicks.com/PBTips.php)
• At first only be a spectator. Don’t take part yourself if you’re not totally clued up. Watch a few different auctions at different times of the day and different days of the week. Learn as much as

What are the best products for a 1500 VP Standing Order to maintain EA status that are also useful for your SFI business?

There are many products or services you can get on SO with a qualifying 1500 SVP, but some are better value than others and some are better for building your business than others.

The best would be if you could just transfer your buying from your usual shops to TripleClicks. When you want to buy something, first look at TripleClicks and if you find it there, change your SO to that product. Every month before your SO must be processed, change it to the specific product you want and then

The time you have to invest in SFI all depends on what you want to achieve and how fast and on your level of expertise and experience in Internet Marketing.

If you want to have a very successful and rewarding business that provides you with a huge income fast, you’ll have to invest heavily in the form of time and money.

If you don’t have a lot of money to invest (a common problem for most of us), you can still achieve success, it’s just going to take a little longer and

Is it worth it to keep sending supportive emails to PSAs and CSAs who have 0 VP and been inactive for weeks or months?

I think we have to distinguish between personal emails to every PSA and CSA on your team and Team Mails send to the team as a whole.

You can keep on sending Team Mails to them as part of your team to maybe try and sway them to start becoming active, but don’t waist your time sending personal emails to each and everyone on your team, whether they are active or not. If you have only a few members on your team, that may be possible, but when your team starts to run into the hundreds, it
