Greetings Bualu,

From experience, I prefer to advertise both.

I have several blogs that I use for SFI & TripleClicks. What I do when advertising/promoting my TC products, is choose a particular product of interest, make that product my main point of focus, and, then, after presenting that product to the blog viewer, I invite them to come visit the entire department associate to that individual product.

Here's an example for you >> http://tcglobalandmore.weebly.com/

Good Day Member,

It's simple, "REWARD THEM" to show your appreciation!

Send them 1-5 T-Credits and, then, follow it up with your own Letter of Appreciation.

You can also send them an E-Card expressing your appreciation for their strong dedication and attention to detail. Main point to remember, show them how much you appreciate their efforts. Always remember, without their willingness to put forth 'true' effort, it will be very difficult for you to succeed.

Hi Hristina,

In my opinion, text ads should be short and sweet. I tailor mine based on where I am placing it. For instance, when I use Twitter, I know my ad cannot be more than 140 characters long, otherwise Twitter will reject it. When I use Facebook or another social media marketing network, I can afford to add more length to the advertisement.

For PSAs, the one I use most is for Twitter:

"High school and College students 18 & over, sharpen up your marketing

Hello Mary, and I hope I can be of assistance.

For me, allocating my time to both SFI and TripleClicks has become so routine for me, it has allowed me to log on for 309 straight days. At the time of this posting, I have only 56 more days to earn the next VP Streak badge, for a total of 365 days.

I begin my day by logging on between 6:30 and 7:30 a.m. each day, spending approximately 90 minutes at the Affiliate Center, and even more time at TripleClicks.

Hello Patlam,

Your question brings to light something personal that happened to me.

One of my new PSAs awhile back, logged in everyday over a stretch of approximately 1-week or less. He accumulated more than 1,300 VP, asked questions and even replied to several of my emails sent to him over than span of time.

One day Patlam, he just quit. He stopped logging in, and to this day, for more than 3 months, he has remained inactive. All of my emails to him have gone unanswered.

There are many actions in SFI for which you can earn VersaPoints. Which is the action you should recommend to your downline to focus on and why?

In my opinion, whether old or new to SFI, the actions you should recommend to your downline will, of course, ultimately depend on the amount of time, effort and money they are willing to invest to build their individual business.

Any actions that will help to build their business such as their To-Do List daily actions, focusing on AVP accumulations, SVP accumulations, along with Basic instructions to enhance overall knowledge, and, naturally, small to moderate investments towards helping

First, Emmanuel, you may want to ask yourself:

1. Is SFI all it claims to be?
If it is, then why not "remain focused" on your SFI Business?

2. If I devote my time and effort in this business, can I truly be successful?
Consider from where SFI came - Carson Services, Inc., a successful company in itself - the creator of SFI/TripleClicks. Once started, it has enjoyed almost 16-years of success, while at the same time, offering its business opportunity to people

Shortcuts to Success with SFI!

Hi Wong Sindoro,

To answer your question: "Are there any shortcuts to success in SFI for new affiliates?" I would have to say NO! My reason is three-fold, "You must learn to crawl, before you can walk, then you must walk before you can run!"

CRAWL BEFORE YOU CAN WALK:
As a new SFI Affiliate, the primary key to your success will be through education. Educating yourself to the SFI way takes time and patience, likewise

Hello Anela,

By "approach" do you mean "person-to-person" contact, or are you referring to your "advertising approach" in general?

If person-to-person, perhaps you're coming across too strong, or too weak, in your approach. Let the program speak for itself. If you're approaching them with a laptop or smartphone, introduce them to SFI by logging on to your homepage and allow them to listen to the President's, Gery Carson's, overview/presentation.

Good Day Sanja,

In my opinion, and from personal experience, the answer is YES! But there are things I had to consider first, such as:

1. For every PPA sign-up, though I would receive $10 (overtime), none of those sign-ups were added to my downline. They belonged to SFI for future assignment throughout SFI.

2. Because my PPA sign-ups did not become part of my permanent PSA downline, building my own downline, either through advertising and/or other methods, remained
