Before we talk about newsletter topics it is important to question ourselves. As an affiliate what were our expectations from our up-line TL. I am listing a few of what I thought my leader should communicate.

1. Regular updates on SFI happenings.

2. Recognition of achievements.

3. Contests from time to time.

4. Motivational messages.

5. Internet marketing - Industry trends.

6. Team size - How it is growing. The top 3 things that the

When you look at this question you first feel "what a trivial question to ask". But then it gets interesting when you start thinking about it.

To me TripleClicks is a platform provided to reach to potential customer at large. IT is simple, affordable, technologically advanced and most importantly provides a ready network of like minded individuals whom you can connect with and potentially expand your business.

To answer the question what's best to sell in TripleClicks.

" Wish you a very happy, healthy prosperous & successful new year"


The best way would be to "Preach what we practice". For the affiliates to treat this as a serious business would be to make sure that we tell them our experiences and most important be open about "what has not worked" more than "what has worked".

We, ourselves, need to be positive and believe that all the associates are here to make their lives better. That's

The first thing successful leaders do would be to consider SFI as serious business and that we need to invest time and resources as we would do in any other business. Make no mistake SFI is not a one of those frivolous online business where you swing in and swing out.

There are some important things we perhaps must do as leaders to be successful:

1. Set a clear goal. We have TAB in the daily 'to do' list. The reason is to have a goal and work towards that. Make sure that these

Prospects of SFI or any online business can be explained in an impactful manner if we concentrate on some major things to begin with.

1. TRUST - How trustworthy SFI as an organization is. We should definitely talk about success stories, Number of years in business and the how the business has grown over time.

2. Platform - Talk about the ease with which we can become an entrepreneur. How SFI supports an individual with the platform ( I mean the web-site)they have created and

I think the best way to keep you affiliates engaged and conversing regularly is to make sure that we communicate with them regularly.

It's no different than what we do in our everyday lives be it the workplace or home. What do we do to manage our children/wife/husband/team members in office?

1. Maintain communication rigor.

2. Keep the communication channel open. Voluntarily reach out and communicate.

3 Understand their needs and help in whatever way we

It is often said that "The proof of the pudding is in eating it" and not in hearing about it. As leaders we shall have to lead by example Which means that the best way to convince them is to provide them personal experience of how systematic investment helped us to be where we are today.

Additionally, We can reinforce that by providing examples income potential that PSA's and CSA's can generate. Another potentially powerful tool is to provide them with free PSA(s) to show the

"PERSISTENCE AND BELIEF"

I am saying two things instead of one as I was not sure I could leave out either. Personally, I firmly believe that we can succeed in this business only when we have die hard belief in SFI as an organization and when we don't let our shoulders sag not seeing instant results.

My success has been due to the fact that I have never believed that I will fail provided I do/complete all the activities appropriately and in time. This coupled with the

SFI provides a great opportunity to network with like minded friends through a2a platform. In my opinion the best way to solicit support and assistance would be:

1. Keep it informal to begin with. We shall have to establish a connect before jumping into seeking support.

2. Understand each others mutual interest. This can be achieved through regular communication.

3. Seek a skype meeting. A face to the name always helps in building trust.

4. Share your experiences

There are some basic tenets when it comes to holding a contest.

1. Simple to understand
2. Make sure there is value proposition for the associates
3. Honest communication.
4. Give sufficient time for the contest
5. Help associates if they ares struggling, Financially or otherwise.

Needless to say the contest should have compelling proposition for the associate to respond. Additionally, after having held the first contest we can try to stratify our associate
