Let me ask you a question. Do you think I had experience with online business when I first signed up for SFI? The answer is no. I found out about SFI when I was on the internet looking for business opportunities and I accidentally saw a banner ad that my sponsor left on a website which unfortunately I no longer remember the name.

The best promotions are done online by putting banners, splash pages, articles and so on but the idea is to promote SFI effectively is to think like a prospect looking for an opportunity to make money online by asking yourself in which places would they look. Do you remember where you found the advertisement that lead you to SFI? These questions will allow you to visit all kinds of websites where your prospects most frequently visit. SEO optimization should be used when you have a personal website/blog or custom prestige domain that redirects to your personal gateway so that you can submit your personal domain name to search engines which is the first place I looked when I wanted to make money online.

E Mail Marketing is one of the most effective marketing tools because that is one of the ways I was able to find websites and more places to search. So I recommend using your banners to advertise in Traffic Exchanges, your own personal website, and other people's websites in exchange for posting their banners on your website.

Now that I think about it my sponsor must have done the banner exchange advertising that allowed me to find the banner in the first place.

Social Bookmarking sites: Facebook, Twitter, Stumble upon, Reddit. You can either use text ads SFI provides or write your own ads and use them to post in these sites.

So just like I spent time online with no experience whatsoever searching I stumbled accidentally on my sponsor's SFI banner the same thing will happen to your prospects.????

My answer to this question is based on my own personal experience, I get 50 or more sign-ups every month because of my Standing Order. I enjoy online chat by this I mean live chat not email, the best form of communication is phone call by using Skype or What's app because it is free when you phone call other members.

Skype and Facebook messenger allows voice and video chat so this is my favorite form of communication because I get to see a real person on the other end and they also see who they are working with.

Most people that I have emailed or live chat always ask me to call them because they want to talk not type especially when using a cellphone it takes more time to type.

The first form of communication when you receive sign-ups is to use the PSA mailer or genealogy to send them a welcome email because you can send the same message to a group of several affiliates at once and it increases the likelihood of receiving your messages as opposed to emailing their personal email address. Then you will see which ones will answer which is only a small amount then those who respond to your emails are the ones you should contact by live chat to ser who has Skype and which ones want video chat.

Make sense? I hope I answered your question.

On the Internet you have lots of websites for advertising, by this I am leaving out Social media.

I recommend reading the internet income lessons so you can learn about free advertising in the online Classifieds. One of these lessons is called " A Small Guide to Free Advertising", you will learn the importance of traffic flow in order to know the right timing to place your ads. This guide also teaches you about searching for classifieds websites in the search engines by typing the right keywords etc....

SEO: Search Engine Optimization is best used if you have your own website or blog, so I also suggest you read the Internet Income lessons to learn about submitting your websites to search engines.

Traffic Exchange: In this I would create a rotator for my gateways and I would also create a landing page with an opt in so you can collect emails and then you can advertise to prospects via email using an auto Responder such as Trafficwave.

Pay Per Click: Clixsense, Probux, LegacyClix among others allow you to advertise by having your website show on the Clix grid or view ads. You can use your SFI commissions to invest on this kind of advertising because thousands of users will make money per click or win $10.00 on the grid game so save up a little money for this.

Banner Ads: Post these on websites where prospects are looking to work from home, I know this because this is how I found SFI and signed up. Look for websites in the search engines for places where you can post your banners such as Banners and Bucks or Banner Bluster etc...

Free Pinging sites: This is to add your website to online directories.

I gave you a few online methods but for offline methods visit the marketing center and check out the Internet income lessons for more ideas on free advertising.

In my opinion knowledge is more important than earning lots of Versapoints each month because you need to learn how to build a business and SFI is not all about making money.

The most important activity to focus on is the To do list and the red tabs because they contain information for all affiliates on how to start a business and how to grow into a successful enterprise.

Versapoints: In addition to reading and learning I recommend allot of focus on Ask Sc because this is an opportunity to share with other affiliates what they have learned but also this is a place to earn lots of points. Most popular can earn 100 points per entry the second place gives 50 and third place can earn 25 points per entry. For example in March 2015 I got 175 points. 100 was from one most popular and the other 75 came from 3 answers that won third place.

Daily Grand is a must enter every day because you can also win Versapoints and other benefits.

I used to be a bronze team leader for more than a year but my loss of internet service caused me to go down to EA2 so thanks to my standing order I was able to remain an Executive affiliate without logging in everyday so I also suggest setting up a standing order as an activity to focus on.

In February I was able to purchase a smartphone so now I can log in everyday so I was really focused on playing the Eager Zebra games to get as many action points as I can.

I play card king almost everyday so I can win Versapoints on the spinning wheel and I use my member reward points to buy individual TCredits so last month I made it again to BTL so For this month April 2015 I purchased two packs of 300 TCredits to get 6000 sales VP plus added another pack of 100 to my standing order which gave me a total of 10,000 VP. So I will just focus on the actions I mentioned above to see if I make it to Silver Team Leader.

I wish you lots of good luck.

Go for the Bronze and remain there. The reason why I say this is because this is the only one you can have and maintain without a team, if you want to go for the silver then you can do what I did which I cannot explain in detail here because I don't have the time so you can check out my post in the forum for the details. If you go for the silver by following the plan that I did it will be very costly every month but it gave me ten thousand sales VP.

So without a team of active PSA just settle for the Bronze so that you can co-sponsor affiliates every month when you receive a share of Home CSA . These get assigned to all team leaders when other affiliates lose their EA rank and the CSA's get forfeited soif you are a Bronze team leader you receive a share each month.

The second reason is for you to spend time Advertising to Sponsor affiliates and build a team of 5 or ten active affiliates in your first generation and then slowly but surely you get more active affiliates that you can help get 1500 VP in the first month then you reassign to get 5 points each so then you build the next 6 generations deep then this along with active Co Sponsored affiliates will give you VersaPoints Matching.

Then after. Having 6 generations deep you will be able to go for the Silver and then Gold and so on.

This is made possible if your team regularly buys products you will have money to continually pay your Standing Order.


For Sales VP needed to maintain your team Leader Rank then you have to either have a 2000VP Standing Order or you have to get this VP by selling products to your TC members.

Smile and go for the Bronze!

Let me ask you a question. If you have a big chocolate bar in front of you, would you stick the whole thing in your mouth or would you eat it is small bite size pieces?

The answer is to think of SFI as a huge chocolate bar that should be broken into bite sized pieces or chunks.

This website looks complicated because there is lots of information but the beauty is that SFI also instructs affiliates by email and in the affiliate center by giving short articles to read so that we do not get overwhelmed.

In answer to your question tell your affiliates in general to walk in little baby steps to avoid feeling the information overload.

The Launchpad lesson is a very good example of this because the 30 chapters are short and SFI recommends printing it out for offline reading and reading only one chapter a day in order to make learning easy. In SFI we learn that we must learn to walk before we can run so in this case they must learn the basics a bit at a time before they can start running all over the internet trying to make an was buck.

I know this answer may seem very simple but this is the only thing I know how to do when I get overwhelmed.

Communication in general is key in any business so in the forum people can communicate not just with upline or downline but all other affiliates in general. So being able to post in your own native language I think is allot easier than having to use a translator to post in English. English speakers have no problems reading and understanding the posts so I think that non English speakers will have more fun reading posts without having to translate them on Google.

My native language is English because I was born in the United States but my parents are Hispanic so I speak Spanish as a second language. If I had a team of Spanish speakers I think this would come in handy for me too.

The forum in general is useful to succeed because you find useful information to help build your business and also affiliates can use it to make suggestions to improve SFI or Tripleclicks services. So in this section of the forum people int the same country of the same culture can get together to brainstorm ideas for sometimes overcoming challenges their country may have. SFI is only testing this out to see if it works so maybe you should try it out. Then see how you benefit.

Most online businesses offer free trial but only for one week or one month and then you are billed X amount of dollars every month but this is not the case with SFI. All signups are free and then they have unlimited access to the huge affiliate center that they can explore and learn how to use for free.

You signed up and tried it out for free and you loved it so you will let them know that when they sign up you will sponsor them for free. This means that you will not charge them any money for teaching them the ropes because SFI already pays you for that and soon enough they will also learn from you how to get sign-ups and teach them the ropes they too will make money for that too.

Colleges charge thousands of dollars in Tuitions every semester for the same lessons that SFI provides for FREE!

SFI provides TripleClicks a state of the art E-Commerce store that allows affiliates to sell products to consumers living in more than 200 countries. So by selling products and transfer buying they earn enough money to invest in this business. Very few offer something like this.

The point is to convince them by signing them up so that they can try it out for themselves.

I will answer your question or rather Questions in a Question and answer format so that it can be very organized and was for you to understand. First I would like to tell you that in the Marketing center there are many methods available to generate sales by using your TripleClicks gateway and TripleClicks Provides you affiliate Links,Flyers and Custom Made Banners to promote specific Products. You already know this but the point is that no matter what method you use or where you advertise there is no guarantee that people will sign up for TripleClicks or let alone buy anything. I just want to make this clear to you so now I will answer your questions.

1.How do I promote/ advertize my Tripleclicks
gateways that'll enhance sales?

The TripleClicks Gateway is intended for you to refer people to TripleClicks to sign up and become members. Once they sign up your job is finished. I am sure that you get emails from SFI telling you this.

SFI also explains to you that TripleClicks does the work of selling products via email. They send emails to your TC members offering them Specific Products,Hot Deals,Auctions Games and more.

The point is that the ball is in there court by that I mean that your TC members are real people so neither you or TripleClicks can control their actions. Whether they buy or not is out of your control.

2.Where Do I Advertise?

I have a list of places online where you can advertise for free or very cheap but I have to give them to you via email because I am not allowed to post it on Ask SC. In general you have to post where the fish are biting.

Online you post your TripleClicks gateway in Traffic Exchanges and you also use safelists to post solo ads and email them to Members of the Traffic exchange site or downline members of the Safelists site. Solo ads are also used in Social Book Marking Sites such as Apsense,Facebook,etc...

3. How Do I advertise?

I recommend the following Methods.

•Gift Cards:Digital/physical but you must have a personal graphics page designed for this so people can get more details of what it is and how to redeem.

This is something that makes people want to buy products because they know that they can get $12.00 worth of products for free so this could be more effective than a gateway.

•Banners

TripleClicks allows you to make custom white banners that include about 3 products that you choose. This you can use on your own Website or Blog when promoting SFI.

Website/blog

For example I have an SFI website hosted by Global Domains international which educates me about SFI and TripleClicks so you can chose any free software such as Wordpress,Blogger,Blogspot to create A TripleClicks website giving lots of information and good products to buy and you can choose Pictures of Specific products and add the link to it so when people click they get to the Product page or QR Flyer.

You can have a Contact page so people can subscribe and offer them a free gift such as a digital gift Card or an eBook etc... You can even offer a discount or buy one get one free if they buy from your ECA Store.

.Newsletter Advertising

When you have your own website and people subscribe to your news letters you can advertise your own ECA Store and give QR Flyers to your members Via email and maybe offer some kind of incentive such as a Gift Certificate something like that.

I gave you my best answer but just remember you are advertising to real people and you have no control over whether they buy anything or not.

It is all in the To Do List. You will find Actions for Sales VP and Action VP.

Stream Posts tab is for reading and getting 1 VersaPoint but you also get up to 3 VP for posting something valuable for you downline to read so that will give you 12 VP Per Month.

Every month you get a total of 25 or 30 VP for the monthly actions such as Viewing your TConnect Page which gives you 5 VersaPoints and setting your goals for the month gives you 10 VP plus another 10 VP for submitting your rating toward your Sponsor, Co Sponsor and SFI so in total you get 25 VP monthly.

TRIPLECLICKS: Pick up 30 VP a month for viewing the latest products added in the last 7 days by clicking on the link in the Daily actions section of the TO DO LIST.

So now I. Will add up the VersaPoints accumulated so far and show you that from The Daily, Weekly, Monthly actions Plus TripleClicks you will get a total of 586 VP for the month.

So please go to the To do List and do the math.

Eager Zebra Games will give you a maximum of 300 VP a month and Auctions can give you up to 500 per month.

Giving out gift Cards gives you 10 VP per Card so that will give you about 300 monthly VP and 100 VP monthly if you list Items for Garage Sale at Triple Clicks and downloading your favorite songs.

Daily Grand: This is the Win It Tab so make sure you enter Daily because you can win as few as 10VP or as many as 200 VP. So make sure you get as many entries as possible because you have many chances to win.

SPIN & WIN: This is not in the to do list but you must always read the weekly news via email or online in the alerts tab so that you can Spin and get up to 1000 VP if you are lucky but if not then you get 5 VP which is better than nothing.

ASK SC: You get one VP for rating 10 answers and an additional daily Grand entry when rating 30 answers so use this to your advantage. You should also submit your own answers so that you can get 100 VP for most popular 50 for second runner up and 25 for 3rd most popular . So imagine the unlimited VP you can get from this.
