Obviously I would recommend the To Do List tab. Every VPs that is available to you is already listed there. All you need to do is follow them. You may need to click the blue lettering sometimes in order to get more information. Like for example "to learn how to generate sales, click HERE". So click further to find out more.

But the 11 free daily VPs are the ones to focus on. Because if you miss them, then they're gone and never coming back. The weekly ones, you have 7 days to

By losing people do you mean they opt out or are just inactive for some time?

Keep in mind that we all have personal lives out there. Something may have happened to your downline that prevented him from logging in for a while.

In my example, I have an active member who was suddenly quiet for some time. I finally sent an E-card asking if everything is alright. He replied back saying that his home was hit by a typhoon and he just got back eletricity to login.

You can succeed without investing money. But you will need patience and be willing to put in a bit more effort.

Here are the tasks you can do that will generate money without you having to put in money:

1) Sell TripleClicks products. There are thousands to choose from. Jewellery, books, clothes, teas, coffees, handphones, tablets, etc. You can target your promotions for better likelihood of sales. With sales you will get commissions.

2) Promote the Eager Zebra games.

I promote transfer buying together with the ECA programme. Why? Because you do not really know if your team's country has enough ECAs to enable them to do transfer buying. Let me explain....

Transfer buying is just buying your groceries (bread, tea, coffee, etc) and toiletries (toothpaste, toothbrush, etc) from TripleClicks instead of from the store around the corner.

But what if those stuff are expensive in TripleClicks (considering the shipping fees)? You can reduce the shipping

What's the best answer to give to SFI prospects who ask, how does it work...and what do you do?

How does it work - do you mean how do you make money?

I know that it's really frsutrating having to guess what exactly the propsect is asking. And it is really illogical to write back to them to ask. Hence this is where warm marketing is better. You can slowly start to explain one aspect and if it seems that's not the answer he's looking for (you can see it in his expression), you can change direction.

But basically, how do all of us make money is by selling and promoting TripleClicks.

I can only answer on behalf of myself and what made me decide on SFI in the first place.

1) Its multiple stream of income. Yes, you need to sell to earn. Yes, you need to build your downlines to earn. With SFI though, you have additional ways to earn. You have the games to promote. You have the ECA programme to promote. You can open your own store. You have CSAs. All these brings income in different ways.

2) The second aspect I love is the existence of a co-sponsor. In many

That is really a hard question to answer. And you won't even know where to start unless you start a conversation with them. That is the hardest step.

People who don't like affiliate programmes thinks they are MLM. I don't want to go into the difference between the two because you can actually find it being discussed in the FORUM some time ago.

So it is actually what they THINK that makes them have this negative attitude towards SFI. If you can open up a channel of communication

How could posting in your native language in the My Country or My Region categories in the forum help build your SFI business?

First, look at your Geneology. Do you have inactive members? Sure you do. Look up their Primary Language. Not English? So one way you might want to use is to direct these people to the My Country or My Region Forum.

If you are not from their country, then you can only direct them to the main Forum where they can see the sub forum categories. But if you are from their country, just send them the URL. Like this for Malaysia; https://www.sfimg.com/forum/threads?forum_id=86

I would say that I love TripleClicks and its concept of ECAs. Affiliate programme are numerous. But I have never found one that supports local ECAs as SFI does. Amway has their own products. Elken has their own products. Tupperware has their own products. But SFI understands that we are different in each and every country, where one person loves Tupperware, another might find it a waste of money.

With SFI and TripleClicks, no issues there. Don't like that brand of coffee, never mind,

Firstly, look at your target. Who are they?
Secondly, how are you doing the promotion? Online or offline?

If your target are mothers buying baby stuff and your method is warm marketing face to face, you can search for ECAs selling those items in TripleClicks. Use your smartphone to show the alternative product options to them.

You may need to do some research to identify what items people are buying online nowadays. Maybe you want to sell jewellery for brides and wedding.
