Very good question. My philosophy as a online marketer is to read as wide as possible. I ascribe to this philosophy and encourage my team to ascribe to it as well. When you are a newbie, very little is known about the mechanism that is online marketing. The beauty with the internet is that there are many road that lead to success, the trick is to determine for yourself which method best suit you.

There will never be one book that will deliver all the knowledge needed to succeed in any sphere of endeavor. To become an Engineer, I had to learn English, Mathematics, Chemistry and other subject matter totally unrelated to the core Engineering field. I strongly belief that a similar approach is needed to learn and grow in SFI. To become a successful online marketer, you have to work on different aspect of your business, not only the mechanics of the system but also your personal development and mindset. These are quite different disciplines.

For online marketers, the similar situation exist, you have to learn multiple disciplines. The industry is too dynamic to rely on one book or one set of book. The changes are too fast and for you to keep up your reading list has to evolve.

There are good books on list building, building duplication,social media etc... All have valuable content. The one that is best would be the one that resonate best with you and your personality. Social marketing may not be for you, maybe email marketing is your thing or offline techniques would better suit to your personality.

Therefore, the book that will give you greatest value may very well be the greatest book and #1 recommendation for you.

They ask leaders are readers. This is true, the more you acquire useful knowledge the better suited you are to build a strong and prosperous team with SFI.


I particularly like ebooks,my recommendation is any ebook that focuses on list building and duplication. Having a strong team behind you is your top priority. Having a huge list of CSA's and PSA's is your number one asset hence all effort must be place on building a list and promoting duplication in that list. Any book that promote this, is well worth reading.

Great question. This is a problem that new affiliate struggle with because initially they are flowed with a host of information. The best thing has their sponsor is to simplify the process for them let them concentration on the basis which in the first month is going through the daily training, completing the to-do-list,launchpad training. Encourage them to develop a routine by spending at least 15 minutes per day completing the to -do list. The goal is to keep the whole process as simple as possible and build on it as they become more familiar with SFI business and what it can offer them.

Thanks for presenting such an excellent question in this forum. Cultivating prospect is an essential part of your online business. The initial selling points of your promotion or ads, is what will make prospect interested. It is critical that you start with the strong points/benefits of your business. After all, this is what you were sold on and why you are still with SFI.

The initial contact is very important. This is perhaps your only time to impress your potential prospect. Generally, you will not get a second chance. whether it is online or offline campaigns, chances are they will not open or come back to your flyer or email after being first exposed to it, if the message is not interesting.

My first suggestion is to make the ads appealing to your targeted market or niche. start with emotional charged headlines. Headlines that appeal to peoples needs and reason for seeking online business opportunity e.g. Profitable online business - Join for Free. It is important to put your best foot forward in delivering your sell pick.

The important thing is to get them on your list or in your team. The follow-up has to be congruent and consistent with the original message in the ads promotion. Once, they are on your list or team you can promote the additional benefits of SFI much more effective as you will have great access to them not.

Although, the follow up is important and will deliver long term benefits to your business. The initial contact in my opinion is more important, has this is what will build your business. There is no guarantee that your follow up will be effective in allowing duplication in your SFI downline but for sure having a large team behind you has tremendous benefits. Your initial selling point has to be strong to cause people to give up their contact information and opt in to the program.

The followup allows you to build a long term relationship and continue to market to these people as long as they are on your list or in your team. Again, be consistent with your message. This goes for the things you promote and advice you provide.

A most interesting question. At original blush it is seem that you are not being rewarding but just getting stuck with non-active affiliates (PSAs) from your upline.

However, this is just one way to look at the situation. In assigning affiliates your upline may not be cherry picking or dumping non active PSA but merely rewarding you for the good work you have been doing.

It is a benefit to your upline to ensure that your reach EA status and maintain EA status going forward. Recall you are awarded 30VP for team mailing weekly. Without a team these points are lost to you. This is win-win situation.

The other and more beneficial way to look at the situation by considering your action one in receipt of these PSAs.

1. Team mailing for 30 VP points weekly

2. By team mailing your are building your experience and skill communication and motivating team members. This is great for demonstrating and building your leadership skills

3. With non-active you never know what will spark a renew interest in an online business opportunity. Find out what are the assigned PSA are interested in what are their goals for being online. From here you can promote the benefits of being in SFI

4. By gifting you PSAs, whether active or non-active your upline, is leading by example in showing you another way of building your team and encouraging duplication in your team. When you have a large enough team, your could implement the same or similar methods to promote great team-building effect and encourage active in your downline.



Finally, continue to mail and communicate with your downline. give encouraging support words and help them to see the benefit of being in SFI and how this business opportunity could change their life. Yo never know when a great affiliate is lying dormant.

At lot of people, join different business opportunities online initially as "tyre kicker". They are like a bee moving from one opportunities to the next. You can never know when they will come back to the hive that is SFI. So continue promoting the benefits of SFI to them, one day it may just click - you never know, you may have a rock star in the making.
