To many new affiliates the initial information can be overwhelming.
Your best effort to build a relationship with your new PSAs is to start
communicating, as soon as possible.
I recommend keeping your message short and to the point.
The new ECards are great for this and immediate contact.
A brief welcome note and maybe a reminder of the 24 hour bonus period.

I send:
"Welcome to my Team! You have joined a great opportunity.
Not sure where to start, view the Start tab at the top of your Home Page.
Go for the 200 VersaPoint Bonus by completing 500 money earning VP
actions in your To-Do List(first 24 hours).
For example do the Getting Started actions by clicking and completing.
Contact me, let me know if you have any questions or need assistance.
My formal Welcome Email is forthcoming."

Each evening, I follow with a group Welcome Email for my days sign ups.

Good question.

Answer is to Promote, promote, promote.

List your contests in your Leadership Page.
Reference them in your Stream messages.
Recognize the Winners in your Stream Messages, Group Emails weekly, and in your Leadership Page.
Ask for feedback to see if the contests are attractive to your team members.

You want to motivate your downline with your contests
It is important the you keep your contests up to date and relevant to the activity in your downline.
I, for one, offer ongoing contests for Top 300, 1st time SO of 1500 VP, Refund of $2.00 Wave 3 sign up shipping charge,
to name a few.

In addition, I reward my PSA and CSA downline on a progress basis.
Achieving first time EA status
Maintaining EA2 status
Achieving BTL or higher
Establishing a running co-op with active team members

Rewards are in the form of TCredits, Gift Certificates or Re-assignments.

I attempt to make sure all of my active members are rewarded.
Posting of reward winners and contest reminders gives visibility to the not so active members
and encourages greater participation.

The most beneficial advice I was given was to Log in daily. Review the Marketing tab in my Home Page. Explore the Marketing methods thoroughly. Use at least one to advertise daily. The key to building your own business was to stay informed, build your downline of PSA and CSA. Then proceed to advertise, advertise, advertise.

Affiliate since: 01/05/2011, Power Rank: 99999999

Good question.
This really depends on your Target Market or Niche.
You must first define the specific market you are going to advertise too.
For example: if your advertising efforts are going to individuals who are
out of work you might use "Work at Home".
I believe the most popular is "Work from Home"

There are many others to use:
Internet Income
Affiliate Income Business
Learn Internet Marketing
Internet Marketing Business
Income for Retirees
Income for Homemakers
Part Time Internet Income
Need extra Income?
Start a Career in Internet Marketing
Ready for a New Career?

I could go on and on, I am sure you will see many more good ideas
with this question.

The best thing for you to do is write down your ideas and then do a
search for "keyword research tool". And, find one or two to
do an analysis of your listed Keywords.

In the end, you will find out through trial and error which keywords work
best in each of the advertising venues you choose to use.

I hope this gets you started.

Hi,

My approach is to ask a prospect up front if they are willing to do the
work necessary to develop a permanent residual income.
I then inquire about their Internet skills to evaluate how to approach
discussing the Tools, Materials and Training provided by SFI.

The best overall information outlining income sources is well defined in the
Compensation Plan page, here: https://www.sfimg.com/Reference/CompPlan
Take the time to explain all the income streams available to earn an income.

SFI provides an earning estimating tool for you to use.
I would suggest you start by showing them the Earnings Calculator.
https://www.sfimg.com/Reference/CompPlan

Discuss with your prospect the benefit of acquiring at least 5 active affiliates.
Who then in turn acquire 5 more in their downlines.
Use the calculator to show the results.
Follow up with a discussion on advertising.
Show them where to find the materials and tools provided.
Suggest advertising venues for them to start off in and get their feet wet,
based on your perception of their experience.

Follow up with directing them to the Scoreboard page, where they can see
the results of their efforts on a daily basis.

SFI really lays out all the tools for us to use. Accessing them from your Smart Phone
or Laptop while talking to them, can be a big selling prop with in-person contact.
Or, just lay it out in an Email or Training blog.

To your success!

Self-confidence helped me to keep pushing forward.

In the beginning, although I had some Internet Marketing knowledge,
having tried various programs, I was barely past the newbie stage.

I believe you have to have confidence in your ability to learn.
Join that with determination and a "Never give up" attitude and you will succeed.

I realized that you did not have to invest much to stay with the SFI program.
This takes the pressure off to succeed quickly.

Take your time. Learn the website, the Home Page, the TripleClicks store.
Exercising patience, practicing many promotional methods, addressing any
problems incurred head on builds your confidence.
And when the sign ups start showing up, you begin to feel the joy of achievement and success.

There are always highs and lows, from month to month.
But, if you stick with it, the next high is almost higher.

It will be fun and informative to read all the answers to this question.
I have found that as I have learned more and developed my skills my schedule changes.

Approximate daily schedule for promotional activities is as follows:

Check Email for new sign ups and respond with ECard,
followed by aformal Welcome Email at end of day.
Post at least once, if not more, in Facebook, Twitter, Linked In, Pinterest,
and others, depending on where needed.
Make modifications and changes as I go along.
Review advertising campaigns. Free ads one day, paid ads the next and so on.
Track my ad activities from my Hit Tracking results.
Revise ads accordingly to increase performance.
Work on new articles for my blog and website.

All of this follows after I have completed my Daily actions,
reviewed the Forum, read all my business related Emails,
responded as needed and of course played a coupe games.

Your business growth depends heavily on the amount of time you spend promoting.

Once you have learned the fundamentals and are breezing through your daily activities,
it gets easier to assemble your promotional plans and follow through with them.

Hi,
The recent change limiting the amount to a maximum 10 TCredit disbursal to a
downline PSA or CSA member of your team, has severely limited their value as a
promotional tool.
They can be offered as a reward or incentive for a measured level
of progress in the SFI program and TripleClicks.
For example, earning EA status or opening a Standing Order.

An active Team Leader will need to utilize other approaches to promote activity,
For example: Gift Certificates
TC gift purchase of a store product
Re-Assignment of affiliates
Free entry in a co-op or multiple co-ops
Special Advertising postings on their behalf
Just to name a few.

Your top promotional activity is,in my opinion, unlimited support for your
team members and consistent transfer of ideas, tips, tricks and methods to
help them build their businesses.

Both have their attributes and shortcoming.
A website is more topic specific and leads it's readers in one direction.
A website in normally set up to sell one product. It is more ridged and limits
your ability to expand into other related areas.
Although, I have notice some of the new Website building sites, offer a blog
page now.

In my opinion, a blog is best. It offers more freedom for information sharing.
The ability to write, sometime daily, articles, training lessons, update or informational
notices, or just tell an entertaining story.
And, it is much more easy to make changes. For example, changing
banners, adding articles, re-writes or updating, entering plug ins, etc.

As you build your skills, you should try both. I still favor blogs,
at this time.

Knowledge is power.
Know your product. Learn the ECA Sign up procedure. Carefully review all the FAQs.
Go through the set up process yourself. Be prepared.
I would have a flyer and a gift card available. If you have an SFI Payoneer card, even better.
Now, create your list of prospects for a day of face to face marketing.
or, create a phone list to make your calls.
set up an appointment.
Smile and remain positive, no matter the outcome of each contact.
