Like in most of the cases - BOTH.


But,it depends on you.
If you're good with quizzes and general questions or can predict certain things (final price of the auctions or answer to the question of Time Machine game) or like and follow NFL and betting - then Eager Zebra games are for you.Go and win those games,it will bring you share(s) of Zackpot.It's free or costs only 1 TC to enter.But it can bring you less TC comparing to auctions (for 300,400 or 500 TC packs) - if you're after getting more TC.


On the other hand,if you're not so good with above said,then auctions can be your choice.It can bring you pretty much T-credits (if you win auctions like 300,400 or 500 TC packs),more then a share of Zackpot from Zebra games.But it takes more TC to put into to win (alike Zebra games where it's free or only 1 TC).From auctions you can get some valuable items (already mentioned packs of TC,then S-builder,PSAs,CSAs,Gift cards,lap tops,mobile phones...) for very LOW price.As low as 99,99% of retail price.


Tip:if you're short with T-credits you can start with Zebra games and when you win some of it then you can go to auctions.


So,I advise you to combine it both:go play Zebra games,go bid on auctions,there's no need to separate taking part in just one of them.

I agree that TC packs,S-Builder and PSAs to go are most famous and most popular Tripleclicks products.But there are also others,that can be helpful.I will just name few here.


One of them are 12$ Gift cards.It's one of the most powerful marketing tools.They're helping you attract new PRMs.When you hand them a Gift card they will be happy to receive something for free and after they sign up using your code on the card (they need to sign up if they want to redeem 12$ gift) then you'll have PRM (personal referred member) - for life.Benefit is that you'll receive money (and VP) whenever your PRM buys something from Tripleclicks.


Other interesting thing is 50$ (or 100$) Gift cards (available on auctions as $50 Gift Card + 50 T-credits).There you get a 50$/100$ Gift card (like a coupon) and you can then shop in the certain retail stores - in the value of the gift card given.And you can win it in auctions for,say,dollar or two.Besides that,if you win,you get 50 credits too.


There is also Lifetime Custom Prestige Domain.It allows you to have nice,easy-to-remember domain of your choice - for life (actually,for as long as you stand as good SFI affiliate).And even more - you can get up to 5 custom domains for the same price (if you pay for 1 item you can get up to 5 custom domains,if you order 2 you can get up to 10,etc.).You can use it for promotion of your SFI business.



On all of the above listed shipping is FREE,so in that way it's suitable for everyone.

Eternal question:what is better - quality or quantity?
Well,I say that you need quantity to get quality.


What does it mean?
First,when you get new PSA,just by his/her name you can't tell if someone's serious about this business or not.And at the beginning you never can tell with 100% guarantee if someone will become bronze,silver or gold team leader or not.Some PSA have a great start,but then,for some reason,leave this job.Others may be inactive at first,but later it turns out to be great leaders.If you sponsor many affiliates you'll notice it too.

So,you may have hundreds of affiliates,but not all of them will work seriously.Sad fact,but it's like that.Because not all the people see this business the way we see it.Our's duty,as their sponsor,is to present them this opportunity the best way we know.Some will follow us,others won't.Saying goes "work with workers",so spot the workers in your downline,the ones who are progressing,and focus on them.

That doesn't mean that you totally abandon others.Keep in touch with them,send them e-mails once in a month or so,check if maybe situation have changed.But keep your primary focus on those who are willing to advance.Your time is precious,you can't waste it,have more respect for it.


On the other hand,you may choose to start with a little group of PSA and to focus on all of them from the very start.That's nice,because work in small groups enables the leader to get in more personal connection with his group members,which will result with better training.

However,as I said,not all of us are the same and not all of us see thing the same way.So you may have situation that you focus on little group and to find out later that you've chose wrong persons to train with.Then after a while you'll have feeling that unfortunately you just wasted your time.


So,my advice is to combine those two:get larger group of members,then see who are the workers,and then put your efforts to promote them into team leaders.It's like in sports:at the beginning you have many kids coming to training,but not all of them will end up playing in the first team.As time goes by their trainer (sponsor) will notice who is working and who is not,and then he will focus on the smaller group,but it will be a group of good workers.And it will bring the sponsor incredible results.


You never know where the hidden diamond lies.Maybe you won't find it at first.But keep searching for it,and sooner or later,after "a million" ones,rest assured that it will appear.That's the way to success.That's why we need quantity to get quality.

Why?

First,because of the price.
For 36,25 dollars you will get 125 TC + 1500 VP + bonus of 100 VP for putting standing order of 1500 or more VP.I don't know any other item that will bring you that much points for 36,25$.So,it's "hot deal".

Secondly,because of the benefits.
Besides the fact that you're getting most points out of 125 TC pack standing order (for the money paid),you can use those 125 credits in many ways:
- on auctions (for bidding and winning even more credits)
- in Eager Zebra games (for entering and winning more credits)
- for buying different stuff on Tripleckicks web store

Pricebenders auctions are great way to get some product with a BIG discount (even from 99,99%).So,it's attractive to many affiliates.


Winning an auction is not so easy job,but I'll write you what I do and some tips.


FIRST PART:preparation (before auction)

1. get to know auctions.Take your time to follow and see how the auction works.Observe several auctions for couple of days.

2. choose auction:see what would be interesting to you.Is it a pack of T-credits,or mobile telephone or lap top computer,or unit of S-builder,or some gold or silver coin...make your choice.
Also,choose auction type.If you're newbie (never won an auction before),then check if there's mark "1WA" ("first win auction") next to the auction.In those auctions only those who never won an auction are eligible to bid.If you have less then 10 auctions won,then look for a mark "JR" ("Junior").It's for those with 9 or less wins.The rest of explanations of the marks you'll find at bottom of auction tab on Tripleclicks.

3. auctions to be avoid for a beginner:"big dog" type of auction and "DP" (double MRP) auctions.It's sure nice to have 10 MRP for a bid instead of 5,but on such auctions you'll also need double credits to spend if you want to win it.Because "DP" auctions often attract many affiliates to bid on them,which means more of your TC used for bidding.Instead of it,you can choose auction of "normal" type (or already mentioned "1WA" or "JR" if possible) and use less TC to win it.

4. other preparations:get enough T-credits (you can prepare as much credits as you want,but I recommend you that you don't get into any auction if you don't have at least 40-50 TC),see previous auctions of the item you're preparing for what is average price for it,take the time for the auction (which means:don't let something else drag your attention) and be prepared when it starts (turn off other programs on your computer,especially those which use internet,so that your connection is unladen).



SECOND PART:auction (after it starts)

1. when the auction begins,there are generally 2 strategies:get involved from the start or wait and see how the auction is going (and choose the right moment to "hop in").If you're deficient with TC I advise you to wait first and bid later.However,if you have plenty of TC prepared for bidding,then there's no need to wait,go strait from the start.

2. during auction:look at the bidding log (you'll find it at down right corner of the screen) and meet your rivals.The main thing is to find out how serious are they.Click on their nick-names and see their badges.If you see that your main rival has "millions" of wins of Knock Out Trivia games or Gold Streak games or Pick The Price games,then most probably he/she has a lot of TC ready for bidding and better avoid competing with him/her.You'll just loose your TC.
Also,check out the list of latest auction winners.You sure don't want to go "in war" with someone who just won 500 TC pack.

3. about bidding,there are also two general strategies:to use "auto-bidder" or not to use it.It depends from person to person.See what's better for you.

4. if you choose to wait and see,then your strategy is first to let others "spend themselves" (loose lot of their TC) and then you come on the scene and outbid them all.

5. when is the right moment to start bidding?Well,that's a million dollars question.Like I said,if you have really enough credits prepared (say,1000 or more TC),then go from the start.If not,then you'll have to pick up the right moment to get involved.
How to find when is it?There are some signs that may lead you to know when is the right time.If you see that no one's on auto-bidder,that auction timer often reaches "Going once,going twice",that only one person is still competing with the highest bidder (last 5-6-7 bids are only his/hers bids),that the average price of past auctions is exceeded - all that means that not many others are interested anymore in competing,so it might be a good time for you to show up.

6. taking action:if you're not highest bidder,and your opponent is on auto-bidder,then first spend 10-20-30 TC on bidding.That's just to feel your rival's "pulse".You might outbid him/her with that.If not,then continue bidding with 50-100-200 or more TC.

7. take notes about your rivals:take a note when someone is starting to bid.For example,if you're bidding on 300 TC pack auction,and someone is already spent 250-300 TC into bidding,that might mean that he or she is almost "done".However,there are some person who enter auctions with lot of emotions.They cannot stand that someone else defeat them.So,those persons will spend 5000 TC just to win an auction,even if the prize is,say,5 TC.


After all,you'll also need LUCK to win an auction.
Keep in mind that there are other members who are trying to win it - just like you.Will they get into auction you have selected to bid on and when they'll do it or they won't do it...well,that's more matter of luck.


And also remember:don't get desperate if you don't win auction you were prepared for.There will ALWAYS be next auction and next chance ;)

When you're not online (or can't access SFI),then you're welcome to do promotion of SFI,weather online or offline.


You can promote your SFI business in many ways.
Two major groups are online and offline.


ONLINE (which is more popular nowadays):

1. Advertising:common ways are through social media (Facebook,Twitter,Pinterest...),whether it's done on your profile or in the group(s) that you belong,then through your blog(s),newsletter(s),etc.Publish your successes (milestones) at SFI on your social profiles.
The point here is to draw attention of target audience to you,to make them interest in you (and your offering).

2. Marketing:training(s),teaching your team members through so called "webinars" (online seminars),or circular e-mails,etc.
The point here is to present/explain more what is it about,which is this company and its products,how it's working.Also,to expand knowledge and skills of your downline and build stronger relationship (trust) among you.

3. Communication:it is VERY important.This is used as advertising tool,as well as marketing tool.Online communication is mostly done through instant messengers ("chat service"),then e-mail,exchanging of personal messages,etc.
The points here are multiple:combination of points under advertisement and marketing + clearing problems and things that are not understood completely,keeping motivation of affiliates high,giving short instructions,etc.

4. Starting Co-op:by doing it with your team members you are gathering money for collective promotion of your business in SFI - on a larger scale.Powerful tool when you get together much of investment of downline.


OFFLINE (less popular nowadays,but don't forget about it):

1. W3:with Wave3 (W3) you are getting car decal,and after you put it on the window of your car it does promotion for you:people are seeing its attractive message and get interested in it.

2. distributing of gift-cards:when you meet someone (or draw someone's intention) that is interested in SFI business,you can hand him/her gift-card (instead of traditional business card).

3. face-to-face recruiting:in everyday's occasions (in the shop,on the street,in the waiting-rooms...) you can talk with different persons (known or unknown) and you can tell them about your business.You can combine it with gift-cards.

4. Tripleclicks:order things from your web store and show them to others.I remember a story of a man who bought iPhone on Tripleclciks (for a pretty low price),when it came and his wife saw it - he immediately "got" her as a partner in SFI business.Even more,his wife told her 3 friends about it,and all of them became his PSAs!Learn a lesson from that example.

5. Miscellaneous:get your earnings and buy something for you.Doesn't matter if it's something new for the house or that you pay summer-vacation for your family.When people see it and when they ask you where did you get money for it then you can say to them "Let me tell you how I earned it...".



Besides promotion,don't forget to take time for advancement of yourself.
That includes reading books and articles (a lot of reading) and learning from successful persons in this area.That too will boost your business here.

I must agree it's sad when you see some of your PSAs or CSAs have 0 points and are inactive for a long period.


First,I must ask you:when you send e-mails,does it cost you something?No,it's free.Well,when it's say free,and when you're already sending emails to other members,why not to do it with all of them?Ofcourse,you should choose appropriate subjects whom to write what.


On the other hand,it is sure demotivating when you put effort in composing e-mails and then see that there's no expected result - they still remain inactive.Then it looks like you're just wasting your time and energy into them.The sad fact is that here are some members that just come to see what's this all about and leave after that,never to return again.And you'll need "superhuman" abilities to make them understand SFI.


So,make a balance between those.
For the inactive ones - write them regular e-mails in the beginning,see if it will work.If it doesn't work,then better leave them,and put your energy into those who seriously want to work here (work with workers).Don't "bomb" them with your e-mails,because it looks like when someone is pulling your arm to enter into some store you don't want to enter into.
However,don't forget them totally.From time to time (say,once a month or so) write them e-mail.See if the situation have changed.Maybe they changed their minds about great opportunities here.Write them about accomplishments you achieved here.For example,"I won auction for iPad for just 10 dollars" or "Today I received money order/check from SFI with a ... dollars on it", or something like that.


Hopefully,they'll become active after a while,and you'll have new leaders in your team ;)

During your work in SFI you will have chance to sponsor many,many PSAs (and CSAs),but only few of them will be recognized as those who will really work.Some of them from the very start of joining SFI,some later (when they found out all the benefits of SFI).


As advised many times before,"work with workers".Which means work with those recognized,who are ready to invest their time (at least that) in SFI.Your "job" is to find 5 of them (or so) during a month and to sponsor them.

What "sponsor them" means?It means that you "transfer" all your knowledge and your skills to them.So that they can achieve what you have achieved.That is in short the process of "duplication".As said in SFI Basics (https://www.sfimg.com/SFIBasics),under #3,that is what you,as the sponsor or co-sponsor,should be doing.


Now,about your question.
It's important to have team members on leadership roles,because of the benefits you'll have.They are material and non-material.


Material benefits:

1. you will benefit from their status,because for each team leader that you sponsor (and also for each EA2,which is something between team leader and affiliate) you will be granted some extra VP for that.And that is (you can check it also on To-do list):
100 VP for sponsored Executive Affiliate 2 (EA2)
150 VP for sponsored Bronze team leader (BTL)
200 VP for sponsored Silver team leader (STL)
250 VP for sponsored Gold team leader (GTL)
300 VP for sponsored Platinum team leader (PTL)

2. you'll also have benefits through direct commissions from your affiliates.OK,that's generally,whether or not they are team leaders.

3. and you will benefit from the status of their team too,through matching points.Your team members,who become team leaders,will most probably have their own team (their downline).Then,you will get "matching points" from each member of their downline (which is also,by the way,your downline) who is EA2,BTM,STL,GTL or PTL - and that's up to 12 level "in depth"!Besides direct commissions and matching points you'll have from your directly sponsored (and co-sponsored) members.See more details at Compensation plan,under #1 and #2 (https://www.sfimg.com/Reference/CompPlan#3).


Non material benefits:

1. it means that in process of duplication we did everything as we should.We transfered our knowledge to our member(s),and we've made him/her/them leaders.That's the art of duplication.To be a teacher and that your pupil(s) become what you have become.

2. and maybe greatest reason of the all above - when you see that your member have succeeded,and you know you taught him or her to do it,and you look at it as your masterpiece - I bet you'll be very proud of yourself.That's something that money just can't buy.

Each time we get new PSA we,as their sponsors,have more or less high expectations from them.It's commonly feeling and that's normal.

But then disappointment comes if the new PSA "is doing nothing".And it also commonly feeling.I guess your question is coming from that kind of experience.And ofcourse you're wondering how to commit new PSA to SFI.


Well,remember your first steps in SFI.How did you find out that this is great business opportunity?How it was explained to you?So,do the same to your new PSAs.

There's a checklist,that was made by SFI,that you should follow:
1. Contact new PSA, introduced myself, briefly described my background, goals, etc.
2. Add new PSA to your newsletter mailing list
3. Discuss new PSA's goals, family, etc.
4. Inform new PSA of incentives, if any, you offer (free leads, SFI Gift Certificate, etc.) to encourage affiliates to accumulate VersaPoints and become an Executive Affiliate
5. Inform new PSA of any special support resources you offer, such as co-op advertising, team newsletter, etc.
6. Offer general assistance setting up new PSA's business, answering questions, providing direction, etc.
7. Provide new PSA your contact information (e-mail, phone number, IM address, Skype number, etc.).
8. Discuss the marketing methods new PSA plans to use to build his/her home business
(you can refer new PSA to the To-Do List on the Affiliate Center homepage, as well as the Refer and Sponsor marketing methods and aids pages for strategies, banners, text ads, and more).
9. Help new PSA develop prospecting and sponsoring skills until he/she has personally sponsored at least five SFI Executive Affiliates and has achieved a Team Leader rank.
10. Monitor new PSA duplication efforts with his/her own sponsored affiliates and continue to provide assistance as needed.
11. Continue to work with new PSA toward his/her earning goals.


Don't forget also to present him or her "Compensation plan" (https://www.sfimg.com/Reference/CompPlan).As most of them find pretty stimulating to see it and understand it.

SFI is great business opportunity and we should let everyone know about it.Other way you hardly can succeed in this job.It would like that you found a golden mine,but you don't tell anybody about it (and you can't dig all by yourself).


Naturally,when you are talking/communicating with someone about SFI,the prospect(s) want(s) to hear all at once.But,as you will see,in situations like that there may appear some problems.

1. first,you have to be 100% (and even more) ready to be able to answer ALL the questions from the prospects.If you fail to answer some,on first sight,"trivial" question,prospects may not forget it,they will get incomplete picture and wrong impression,and it will be bad image for you and the company too.

2. then,as I said,they will want to hear ALL,and even more of all.There comes the problem.You may bomb them with "millions" of informations,all at once,to satisfy their curiosity.But.On the other had,the more you talk,the more questions will pop up in their heads (which is naturally,by the way).Finally,you'll see it's never ending conversation.And that's the bad side.

3. try not to avoid/lie about the business,no matter if it's only once sentence that you're exchange with others or full conversation of an hour or two hours.


All in all I would suggest you this:

1. generally,talk less.If you talk less,then it's lesser chance to get confused and "loose" prospect.And also it's not that you are avoiding answers,it's about that they (prospects) will get lost in all the informations you give them.Especially if you're "newbie" in situations like that and especially if they're meeting first time with this kind of business.
The point of ads is to tickle their interest/attention.Later comes the "full" explanation.

2. focus on the things most people dream of.Yeah,,it's big earnings,to be independent from your (former) boss/business (so you can even "fire" your boss),work that doesn't take you much time (hour or two a day),that can be done from home and done by all (no matter old or young,man or women,employed or unemployed).

3. be sure in yourself and what's you are talking about.Don't get confused or contradictory.

4. if you're not so skillful about explanation of this business,"bring" them to someone (e.g. your sponsor) who is.He or she will then explain them everything.

5. learn all the Launchpad lessons by heart.You'll need it.Especially those "hot" topics:how to earn in SFI and much can you earn,how they will get paid and how to become successful.That's the first and most often asked by prospects.
