SFI is the affiliate marketing arm of TripleClicks. TripleClicks serves as the payment processor for all TripleClicks transactions. They provide customer service and a listing service. The domain is high traffic and the orders are sent to your ECA account for fulfillment. It is a wonderful arrangement when the customers understand how it works. They place orders at TripleClicks. The ECA pays a small fee to TripleClicks of at least 15% and fills the order. Once Tripleclicks verified the product

How do you lead your team and have duplication when they are confused about everything?

Great question. All newbies are confused at first so accept the challenge. The best way to lead is by example without pressure. All newbies need reassurance. They are very uncertain about SFI but since you are the sponsor you feel good about SFI. Find a way to transfer your positive energy that works for you. You can start a skype group, a facebook group, Google hangout group, LinkedIn

The better investment between TCredits or the S-builder Co-op will be TCredits. Not that the S Builder has no value but TCredits are the currency of all the EagerZebra games and Price Bender Auctions. TCredits create commission volume but the S Builder does not but the S Builder does help to foster network sales. TCredits are like money in the sense that you can take money and buy what you want. Every TCredit spent earns you MRP and sometimes double MRP! Not to mention all of the other mighty

1. Build a blog.

Your blog will be an outlet to the masses to talk about all things related to SFI/TripleClicks. Don't forget, content is king. If you post things like "SFI is the best home base business in the world. Come join us!" no one will. People need to know what's in it for them. It has to solve a pain point in their business or everyday life. Therefore write about features, benefits, and why SFI is the best. Pull in content from across the Web to compare SFI with

Everyone is shy from their training as children to stay away from people you don't know. It's ingrained into your subconscious. So everyone has to deal with the fear of speaking to people they don't know. The best way to do this is to speak to everyone you meet. You don't have to have an hour long conversation with them - just say hello. Some people will say hello back. Some will look and smile. Others will just flat out ignore you and rush on!

Remember it's not you, it's their

What is the difference between working hard...and working SMART in SFI? How do I make sure I'm in the second group?

I love this question because I was in the first group for a long time! I logged in everyday and did all of the actions but I still didn't make the money I needed to make. I did little advertising and mostly when I did it was free ads. I didn't have a clear image of the big picture. I didn't know where I was going in SFI so I felt lost. That's working hard . . . going

To come up with good content for your weekly newsletters is not difficult when you read a lot. You have to subscribe to many useful business forums and publications on and offline. That's what I do. As a result I have enough material to write about for a lifetime.

Nonetheless, you should be sure that the material is relevant to your audience. Many SFI affiliates are brand new to marketing online or offline. So you have to give them information that they can digest and understand.

English is the most widely taught language in the world. So whether or not someone is from an English speaking part of the world as you know it; most likely, they use English as a second language. You wouldn't know this just by casual observation but you can tell if you get emails in foreign languages as I have. All I do is use Google Translate and send them the answer in their native language. So yes, you can recruit anyone from anywhere.

Moreover, if I get movers that are really

No. Selling is selling and no matter where you are, you have to sell to a targeted market. While there are some different factors for exporters/importers to consider, in the end, the presentation for an ECA in Africa need not be different for an ECA in America. Some people are mistaken to think that just because you are in America you can get automatic success in business. This is not true. Just like it is not true that you can't have a successful business in Africa. The principle of selling

There are several inside of the marketing center. As always use them as an example and come up with something that works for you. As far as contacting your warm market, there are text ads and other marketing methods in the marketing center. Use the one that works for you ie, E-Cards, X-cards, or T-Cards. You can create your own business card and hand it to your prospects. I use
