I get the most success from the U.S. because that's where my business is based and that's where I focus most of my marketing. My business is online and world wide though, so I have clients from all over the world but I am just as dedicated to them as I am those I actually target. Every single client who chooses to trust in me to provide them the services they need is an honor and I am grateful for them because they are truly what determines the course of my business and its future.

What's the best answer to give your affiliates when they ask you how to be successful with SFI without investing any money?

Ask them how they expect to build a business without investing? Even if you do not invest directly into SFI, you will need to invest in marketing and other resources to build and maintain a successful business. I would suggest that they start small and build up as they grow. Never encourage them to invest more than they can afford or to invest recklessly, but try to encourage them to be serious about their business and success.

How do I present the SFI/TC opportunity to a prospect without "overselling" it and turning them off?

Present the program that would work best for them and they would be most likely to prosper in. For example, present the ECA program to the local business owner. Say your sister is a stay at home mom looking for some extra cash, present the SFI affiliate program to her. Say your brother likes to gamble (RESPONSIBLY), he may enjoy the Price Bender auctions. For example, your nephew wants to be a rock star, invite him to join TC as a music artist.

I often start conversations with people I don't know. What are the best ways I can transition these conversations into me giving them an X-card/flyer/postcard for SFI?

Think about what SFI has to offer and how it would benefit them. How could they get the most out of SFI?

It depends on the situation, but if you can get them to talk about their financial goals, spending more time with family, etc. you can find a way to casually mention something about SFI, and go from there.

I am not Internet savvy and have no clue about setting up a Website. Should I get a VeryVIP Hosting package or what other options are good?

Honestly, I would learn about how to build a website and do research on what kind to have before making the investment. If you have some knowledge and a solid plan, yes it would be a wise investment, but you should have a solid plan and make sure you invest in marketing/promotion of your website as well.

Do some research and figure out what the best choice would be for you.

If sales isn't your strong suit, what should you focus on to create a full time income in SFI?

If you're telling yourself sales isn't your strong suit, then you need a new mindset. What I mean is think about sales in a different manner.

Do you know people looking for items that you can find on TripleClicks? I'm betting you know at least a few people looking for items that can be found on TC. Share the TC store with them, show them around and give the a $12 gift card, chances are they will probably check it out.

Recruiting is pretty much selling as well, but again you

You can get started free with many programs when it's your first time such as AdWords and Bing Ads. When you first join you'll get a coupon code, or look for ads that offer a free coupon code for first time clients.

Is it possible to build a substantial Income with SFI, within 3-5 years, by purchasing ONLY a few S-Builder Co-op shares each month?

This is a real business and should be treated as such. Would Walmart, Microsoft, Coca-cola, Pepsi, etc survive if they put in little to no effort to build a successful and profitable company? Utilize all of the training and marketing resources the SFI provides us.

Has anyone found an effective way to promote SFI or TripleClicks on Pinterest?

Pinterest is about photos right? Well, why do you create photos of people enjoying what they can get from SFI/TripleClicks and tag them with your URL. For example, want to convey the message that SFI will help you earn enough cash to enjoy a vacation? Create a photo of someone lounging on the beach and tag the photo with your URL. Of course, you will need approval for such photos from SFI.

Also look into something called "Infographs" and use those. Remember to get approval from

The SFI Training area, specifically the LaunchPad series. This is where new affiliates should start in SFI. They will learn the basics of SFI and become acquainted with their new business. Be sure to stay in contact with them at least once a week or so to make sure they are doing well. Don't contact them too much though, but make sure they know you're there to help them if they need anything.
