My tips are:

1. Participate or watch more frequently to understand the dynamics of the players, especially the big guns.

2. Choose auctions you think competition will not be fierce or too costly; 1WA and Jr auctions, and the auction of not very attractive products etc

3. Study time of the day when participants are fewer and auctions are won cheaply; 1am-8am GMT is my preferred time frame.

4. Possess sufficient amount of Tcredits to avoid more purchases during auction; this shopping trip may be the critical moment.

5. You may not need to start early by waiting for others to exhaust their Tcredits, but you may occasionally throw in one or two bids in critical moments; like when counter reaches very low count.

6. Better to become a spectator during a bidding 'war' and resume when the 'war' is over.

7. If you may, use the auto bid with care because others may be watching and waiting for you to exhaust your Tcredits before they step in; prudent to adjust your bids, using the auto bid feature.

My general advice is that the auction is becoming more and more competitive on a daily basis, so do not spend what you cannot afford to loose.

The simple answer is through advertisement and the issue will be which ad effort will give you the active affiliates you desire. Advertisements are in different forms in terms of the media, target and most importantly, content and budget.

It will be easier to pre-determine the character and potential activeness of affiliates
you get from your warm market. These are your friends, colleagues, relatives and social network connections, so properly targeting this group, using your knowledge of them and also using the knowledge of the profile of your social network friends, may lead you to determine those who may be potentially active in SFI. You can reach these people directly and demonstrate to them verbally or in writing, what is expected of them on one hand, and what is expected of us on the order hand. However, there is no 100% guarantee they will be active as required anyway.

Another important way to generate active affiliates is the content of your advertisement. Your content should fairly prepare your prospective affiliates on what to expect when they join, like your ad content should demonstrate the long term business building SFI entails and that it is not a get-rich-quick scheme. It should also stipulate that, it is a network marketing business and briefly mention where and how we are different, at the same time, do not be afraid to let them know they may need to invest, but that the decision is theirs to make. This type of content will attract those who have been in online business, in one form or the order and looking to diversify their earnings portfolio.

Lastly, your content should also be written in such a way as not to scare away potentially inexperience prospects, by making it brief, yet to the point. This type of target like it free before they trust the system to make further decision in terms of investment and remaining a member for the long haul. Therefore, emphasise free to join and all training are given free of charge, but also mention the not a get-rich-quick line, the various activities from where income are generated; sales, sponsoring and duplication, referrals, ECA and PPA. Finally, include that more information on each of these are in the SFI website and that you will personally mentor them if they join. Most importantly, introduce them to the compensation plan and let them know they will see details of the plan when they join.

The above will by no means guarantee they will be active as many have tried and did more than what I have stipulated, but to no avail. However, the import of this answer is to dwell more on the things that are under your control, in shaping the process of recruitment in conformity to your desired objectives, while leaving the aspects you cannot control to mere luck. It does not stop here anyway; you can still turn the tide around as an awesome sponsor.

Yes, it is worth it because you do not know the reason for their inactivity. At times we may mistake inactivity to be lack of enthusiasm or interest, it may be the case sometimes, but certainly not all the time.

Even in situations where you think they lack interest, your continued support e-mails may arouse their interest. In situations where they may have been interested, but remain inactive for some other reasons, your continued support e-mails will continually remind them not to forget to tune in when they are ready, lest they may forget and move to some other programs.

Another reason why it is worth it is because you may not need to put in any extra effort to send supporting e-mails, in case you are using Genealogy Group Mailer.

Finally, it is advisable not to spend too much time on this set of affiliates, but instead to concentrate your efforts on, and to work with the workers.

This is a very straight forward question and I will just enumerate the major benefits of each;

The benefits of PSA:

1. You receive 40% CV (Commission Volume)from their purchases at TC.

2. You receive VP match on any EA2 up to 12 levels (Gen 12)if you are a team leader and meet certain conditions regarding Leadership Page maintenance and sponsor rating.

3. If they are ECAs you earn 10% royalties from their sales.

Benefits of CSAs:

1. You earn 15% CV from their purchases

2. Same as #2 above, but includes no levels.

As you can see, PSAs may generate more income for you as opposed to CSAs, but my advice is to pursue both in order to increase the chances of your earnings. This is because pursing one, PSAs for example, as a result of the stated benefits may not translate as stated in reality, because it is possible to earn more from your CSAs than your PSAs if they are more active and engage more in actions from which you earn.

Some of the things I think you can work on when you cannot access the affiliate centre are as follows:

1. The affiliate centre is different from Tripleclicks, which means you can do some work at TC. This is because TC is part of building your SFI business.

2. You can advertise your SFI url, assuming you know them off head as I will suppose.

3. Interact with your downline using other media you have; Skype, Facebook, Twitter, chat room etc

4. Do some study relating to affiliate marketing outside of SFI site; internet research.

5. Turn on the Vacation Mode immediately prior to the period you will not be able to access the affiliate centre, assuming you know in advance. This will at least preserve your daily streak badge. You may be tempted to ask how does this help in building your business? It does because it is an indication of how serious you are, which is good for duplication.

My final advice is not to waste the time you usually spend at the affiliate centre on irrelevant things, but to still spend the time working on the above.

It is important to mention that sponsoring hundreds of PSAs is a means to an end. The major means in my opinions, may be to increase the probability of reaching your objective of the smaller number of EA you wish to develop.

Some have argued that sponsoring hundreds of PSAs may be a waste of resources, but what if you have the resources or you have reached an optimum level, where the increase in your signups does not necessarily result in increased financial resources in your advertisement campaigns eg a good website, otherwise they may be right, which means you may need to do micro targeting.

What I am driving at here is that, if you can do hundreds why not, especially if they are not from junk traffic sites, but even if they are, who knows, its just a game of numbers. However, these hundreds of signups may have a superior enthusiasm to work SFI if from high grade traffic or targeted with reasonable precision, but again, enthusiasm does not equal activeness.

The wisdom is to be able to realise when a 'golden fish' is lurking around in your Movers,to be able to develop and guide him/her to succeed and to encourage, and drive duplication as deep as possible without been distracted by an obsession to sponsor hundreds. Be wise to always work with the workers and do not waste time with non serious members of your team.

The best way to use your Leadership Page (LP) to motivate and inspire your team is first, to include powerful contents that are very attractive, irresistible and memorable and second, to be able to attract them to visit your LP. Attracting your team members to visit your LP is very important because no matter how compelling and fantastic the contents are, it is useless if nobody sees or read them.

So how do you use it to motivate/inspire your team and how do you attract their attention to it?

1. HOW TO MOTIVATE AND INSPIRE YOUR TEAM MEMBERS USING YOUR LP

- Set up contests on a regular and consistent basis in order to create healthy competition in your team. Make sure you explicitly state the prizes to be won and desist from setting up contests that are impossible to win, so winning criteria have to be achievable and attainable. You should also make effort to give away prizes that are appropriate to and in conformity with the contest. It is very essential to fulfil all promises made regarding the contest, but at the same time do not forget to announce winners and corresponding prizes won in your LP.

- Use your LP as an alternative source for training your team members, so it is necessary to make appropriate use of the Blog section to discuss topics that will help build their respective businesses, for example, how to be an effective sponsor, how to create mind blowing advertisement content and places to advertise for good results, how to generate income in SFI, how to earn more VP, how to build a successful SFI business, discussion and analysis of important SFI news and updates.

- Recommend products selflessly in order to boost their respective businesses and give reasons for your recommendations, including your personal experience of the products and also use testimonials of other team members who have used similar products. Recommendations, personal experience and testimonials may all well gel together to make a good blog also, apart from highlighting the products in the 'I Recommend' tab of your LP.

-People appreciate praises and recognition, so use the appropriate tab to recognise your team members who achieve certain milestones. This is very inspiring and motivating to both recipients and others who will want such recognition.

-The online income business world and SFI in particular is very dynamic, so do not hesitate to always let out new and improved methods of doing business through the My Tips tab. Your team members will be willing to try them out because of the eagerness to try something new to achieve better result for their businesses.

2. ATTRACTING YOUR TEAM MEMBERS TO VISIT YOUR LP

Having set up a fantastic LP, your next challenge is getting your team members there, so here are some clues:

-All weekly news letters should not only include a link to your LP but also announce some of the contents you have included as mentioned in #1 above, for example, new tips and new blogs because there should be a compelling reason to click on the link and go through your LP.

-In addition to your weekly news letters, often use the Stream post to announce contests results/winners/prizes very briefly and request them to click on your LP link for details.

-Request team members who have powerful testimonials on certain products or methods to allow you use them on your LP and announce them through weekly messages or stream posts and again, provide your LP link for details. By this, your team members will have more confidence in your recommendations because of these testimonials.

-Reinforce your LP link by consistently exploring and using all necessary avenues to place your LP link, for example you can use it as signature in all stream posts to your team, newsletters, E-mails to your team etc.

In conclusion, it is important to mention that most members of your downline will not bother to visit your LP, much more go through the contents, so you must make consistent efforts to provide good value as a result of visiting your LP. This is the major way you can attract your team members to always visit and as a consequence, motivate and inspire them. I hope this helps and good luck with it my friend.

They are 2 different aspects entirely but both could help build your business here. However, Eagle Zebra (EZ) games enable you to win Tcredits and MRP, while Pricebender (PB) auctions enable you to bid and maybe win various products, including Tcredits, but not MRP. We all know that we can use MRP to pay for purchases at TC that is all, irrespective of how we got them, so let me go straight to Tcredits.

What is the benefits of Tcredits won at EZ games and at PB auctions?

1. To pay for purchases at TC, meaning you are at liberty to purchase qualified products including those necessary to build your SFI business; PSAs, wave3 kit, ECA promotional products etc. Also note that you will not receive any VP for Tcredits won at EZ games and PB auctions, but may receive vp when used to purchase some qualified products at TC which may help in advancing your rank and increasing your income if you qualify.

2. Product listing at TC, a Tcredit per product listed, which may pave the way to increase your income from sales

3. Play EZ games and win more to do more.

4. Give some to your downline as gifts to encourage and motivate them to do more to boost their businesses and in turn you reap the reward of duplication in terms of VP match, direct commission and co-sponsor commission.

The above actions are capable of building your business to varying degree, but there is an added advantage when it comes to PB auctions, which is that you have the discretion to bid on any product of your choice and if you win, to meet your desired objectives. You may bid on products like PSAs, CSAs, promotional products etc which are also necessary in building your business.

You can also sign up TC members by promoting PB and EZ. This members will be your referrals and the benefits that accrue from their actions will be yours, so it will mean building your business by increasing your referrals and your income simultaneously.

But which is better in helping your business will depend on how you deploy them; do you just want to participate in them, promote them or both? If its just to participate in them, then I have highlighted the benefits of participation. If its just to promote them I have also mentioned how it helps to build your business, however the extent of their contribution will depend on the actions of your referred members, which you cannot predetermine. Finally, participating and promoting is your best option in order to maximize the potential benefits as I have enumerated.

Apart from connecting professionals and advancing one’s career, Linkedln can also be used to create a useful and appropriate network for building your SFI business. However, the first step will be to create a very good and attractive profile because this will facilitate the exposure of your SFI business as I will discuss shortly.

Assuming you now understand the workings of Linkedln, the next step will be to create a personal company page which you will use to promote your SFI business. You are going to link this company page from your Linkedln profile, so this is why I earlier mentioned the importance of creating a fantastic profile. You are going to create powerful and attractive contents and images relating to your SFI business, including major achievements, updates, what you are currently working on, new feature TC products etc. At this stage you are now set to promote your company page to members.

The next thing should be to engage in active group participation by forming yours and joining others in order to increase exposure to your SFI company page. You can start a group with members of common interest like home business executives, pricebender enthusiasts or Eagle Zebra fans etc. Enter into discussions with professionals in order to establish a sound reputation, so that members will be willing to associate with your kind of business.

You may need to send messages and invitations to your network, but you must avoid spamming them as this can put you in trouble. Invitations could be to webinars and other events where you discuss and share professional issues and you can build on this relationship to promote certain aspects of your SFI business. How about inviting members of your network to come and partner with you and form a formidable and sustainable SFI business and by that, they may just become your PSAs.

Position your profile and company page to benefit from Linkedln search feature just like Google search, by using appropriate and unsaturated or unique words to headline your contents and also in the body of parts of your resume section in your Linkedln profile. Remember, your strategy is to expose members to your personal SFI company promotion page as much as possible, so always make reference to it in whatever step you take in your profile.

You see, irrespective of these opportunities offered by Linkedln to promote any business, many still don’t take it seriously, but if you actively and seriously work Linkedln as a very vital aspect of your social media marketing strategy, then your chances of building a successful SFI business through it are increased.

On your home page, click on Power Tool and select Co-op Manager from the drop down menu or go directly here: https://www.sfimg.com/PowerTools/TLCoop
When the page opens click on Start a New Co-op and you need to do 3 key things on the next page:

1. Select a Key Code you want to associate the co-op with and assuming you do not know about key codes, it is used to track where you signups come from and the code can be up to 4 digits. An example using your SFI sponsor gateway is www.sfi4.com/xxxxxxxx.120/FREE

The x’s is your SFI ID, While the 120 in the example is the key code you have chosen for your co-op so when you advertise using this gateway, the signups you generate will be assigned to the co-op and distributed to the members of your downline you have listed as co-op participants. You will be requested to name and describe the co-op and you may choose to only name or both. Please note that codes 1101, 1200 and 1300 are reserved for SFI and you cannot use any of those.

Co-op Source: here you need to choose your gateway if you are going to employ your personal ad to generate signups for the co-op or S-Builder if you want the signups to be generated by it.

2. Assignment Type: here you will choose how the signups will be distributed to the participants of the co-op. The 2 types are Shares and Signups. Shares distributes equal number of signups to all participants, while in the case of Signups, you are effectively guaranteeing that each participant will get a certain number of signups your co-op generates. In order to avoid any complications or a form of guarantee, it is recommended you go for Shares.

3. At the bottom of the page, click on Create New Co-op and return to the Co-op Manager page. Here you will see the co-op you just created, click on the key code to access the edit function, click edit to add participants and you will see the co-op URL (basically your SFI sponsor gateway) to use in your advertising efforts. At this point the co-op is ready to go and all you need to do next is advertisement.

Generally, you may want to be a participant too and it will be your decision to share the cost of advertising to participants or you may elect to pay all or part of it. The Co-op Manager itself does the assignments of the signups your co-op generates to the participants. Choose any method of advertisement you desire or you may use S-Builder if you want but which ever the case, you must remember to include the co-op key code in your SFI sponsor URL because this is the only way the Co-op Manager will know for sure that the signups are for the co-op you created.
