Hi and nice question.

I think that it is best answered by "How much can one afford to invest"
in the building of their business.

For most of us, the purchase of one S-Builder per month to start out
is our limit.
It is a good deal for long term investment of your business.
It more or less guarantees a few higher quality prospects in
your PSA downline each month.

I suggest, buying using a Standing Order to lower the cost by $2.00,

This may seem trite, but, most people look for sincerity and honesty.

A frank, no nonsense, welcome letter, identifying yourself with a touch
of your background and a promise to be their personal sponsor will appeal
to any serious prospect.
Always, close with an invitation to be available anytime and request
their comments and questions.

What's a better investment and why? TCredits or S-Builder Co-op?

This question is brought up often.

In my opinion, the better investment depends entirely
on your business strategy.

If your primary goals are to build PSAs for your self and
your active downline, then S-Builders are an excellent choice
to acquire higher quality sign ups. You should start off with at
least one unit monthly and increase it as your budget allows.
The higher quality PSA sign ups will work nicely with the SFI Co-op feature.

Not to be blunt, but, briefly:

1. Read it daily.
2. Do not be afraid to expand on an answer given.
3. Use it to learn and help retain what you have already learned.
4. Study the common questions to help you guide your team and grow as a Team Leader.
5. Find it as a problem solving and current events source for SFI and TripleClicks
6. Learn who your fellow members are that make well researched and knowledgeable contributions.
7. Use it as a

To build a successful SFI business, how much should I rely on my sponsor?

Great question.

Many Sponsors are new to affiliate marketing themselves and learning same as you.
Most all are active from the beginning, some not.
It is unfortunate that all affiliates do not have an active sponsor.
But, it is not entirely necessary.

The SFI program provides training, materials and tools for your use.
Even if you have a responsive and helpful Sponsor, you will still have to conduct
your business on your own.
It is up to you to

How do I explain to my downline how to benefit from the new W3 program?

As stated by SFI;

"W3’s role has always been about–a program designed to incentivize
TC members to spread the word about TripleClicks".

It has been greatly expanded and is now free, subject to at least one PRM sign up
every 120 days.
For a complete announcement and breakdown see:

The high point benefits in my opinion are:

-A 5% discount on any one day’s Deal-of-the-Day

Hi Ritu,

Wow, there are so many things I would have done differently!

Here is the list.
1. Spent more time reading an learning, instead of 1 hour a day,
do it two or three.
It was a lot to absorb initially, I should have increased
my reading each day, as it began to fall into place.

2. Obtained my first EA status in the first month, not the third.

3. Jumped on the Fast Track in the first 10 Days.

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?

This is a good question that I think has two answers.

For new Affiliates;
I recommend following all the actions in their To-Do List.
I remind them they only need 1500 VersaPoints by month end and to save all
non-reoccurring actions for the following month.

For established affiliates;
It is important to do the Daily, Weekly and Monthly actions.
Primarily to stay in touch with all current activities, updates, changes and Tips.
With these actions alone

How would you not know, if you do not even try?

The first hurdle of any entrepreneur is to get over the fear of failure.
Each failure is only a stepping stone to eventual success.

I am reminded of a day when I took a job, years ago, as a cook.
I knew how to cook, but, to know how to cook for many is not the same.
I stumbled through it, watched others constantly, listened to everything
being said, until I learned.

Afterward, my greatest reward

There is nothing that even comes close to SFI and the wonderful online
business opportunity it provides those who make good use of it.

SFI provides more for free than any other Internet Marketing program.
It can be worked entirely investment free. And, after learning, if you wish,
you can invest in advertising to speed your business success.

I was reviewing some of the testimonials and was impressed by the variety
of people from nations and lifestyles.
