I believe both are great investments. The S-Builder Co-op helps you build your team. It guarantees PSA's each and every month. Sometimes you receive 6, sometimes 12 but every month new PSA's arrive in your inbox. But there again if you purchase TCredits they are good for everything else. They can be used to purchase items at the TripleClick store. They're good for playing games, bidding on the auctions, or even give them as prizes for your contest for your team members. Now that I said all of this

"What are the best ways by which one can measure his/her success in SFI?"

I have pondered this question and have read through all of the responses. Some I agree with and of course there are ones that I do not. But I think I to must offer my own humble opinion on this subject.

I do believe that ones measure of success is an individual one. Goals, To-Do Lists, the number of PSA's, or money it must come from within ones own heart. With that being said it could also be

I believe that both means of winning an auction is good in it's own ways and for different reasons. If you have a lot of TCredits to lose and you really don't mind, then I would use the auto-bidder. When using the auto-bidder your points can click away at a blink of an eye. This is because you're not the only one using the auto-bidder. Now if you have only a small amount of TCredits to use. You should use them wisely. Taking your time, choosing the right auction, choosing the right time of day or

Never, never use an autoresponder when sending your weekly communications to your affiliates. It's just not personal enough. Use their first names affiliates will feel a little bit special. An autoresponder should be use for potential customers and customers when keeping them updated. It should also be used for letting them know about something special.

The second part of your question asks for what you might provide. Well, here are a few suggestions:

Is it better to promote SFI to friends and family...or to strangers?

I've looked at this question for awhile and finally decided to put my answer in. In my heart of hearts I believe that you should NOT promote SFI or anything else for that matter to your family and friends. Understand I'm not saying this because you don't like your friends and family. But because you do and don't want that feeling to change on either of your parts. I can give you three BiG reasons not to:
#1. If something happens and they do not succeed as you did, or they just didn't like

Well Dan I think you should start by looking in the TripleClick store. There are plenty of ECA's that have excellent e-books on the subject and at a very reasonable price. Try ... 10 Ways to Write More Effective Ads or 100 Ad Writing Methods .... Just to name a few. I'm sure there is one that could help you. This way you'll learn a new skill and receive VersaPoints.

You could check on YouTube, there they have step-by-step instructions on just about everything. In my area the county offers

Is it worthwhile to send individual welcome letters to new PSAs...or can I just send out group mailings?

I believe it is extremely important and worthwhile to send out individual welcome letters to each new PSA. I also sent one out to my new CSA's. Remember this is the very first time you will meet your new team member and you definitely want that first impression of you to be a good one. Also remember that your success in duplication depends on how your new member performs and how comfortable they feel with you to ask for assistance if they should need it.

I always offer some small advice

Is it wise to 'bribe' your downline with Gift Certificates, TCredits or other incentives? Or does this practice come back and bite you?

Well in my opinion I don't think that using gift certificates, TCredits, and other incentives offered from SFI is bribing your downline, but encouraging them to participate in their new business. Plus when they use the gift certificate at the TripleClick store it helps you. I use them as rewards for milestones reached by the team member. When they work hard and reach Executive Affiliate, Executive Affiliate 2, for starting an Standing Order, or making Team Leader status. Each level is a different

When do you know that you have been successful in both SFI and TripleClicks, well everyone's definition of success is different.

I have pondered this question and have read through a lot of the responses. Some I agree with and of course there are ones that I do not. But I think I to must offer my own humble opinion on this subject.

This is a very good question. I believe that the true answer to this question comes from within oneself. Think to yourself where do you want to be in 5, 10, or maybe 15 years from now. Now think how can SFI help me reach my goals? Remember your dreams are only as high as the stars. So why not reach for the stars. Each month we should be setting our goals, these goals could be short term goals or they could be longer. But I think your goals in the beginning should be goals in which you can obtain.
