Your first mentor is your sponsor. From Day 1 beginning with your welcome letter he/she is in a mentor position.

Many sponsors don't support and offer help to their PSA's. If this is your case, you could initiate the relationship by asking questions, for his advice and for his opinion as often as you need. Also watch out for his emails and make sure his address is whitelisted.

If you are still not getting the help you want, ask him outright to be your mentor and tell him why.

If you cannot access the Affiliate Center, you may still be able to access TripleClicks.

There is a lot to be done outside of SFI and TripleClicks websites. Even if I spend 1 hour on the website, my work at SFi isn't done on signing out.

We each have different needs for success at SFI, so what we can work on will vary.

If you can't sign in to SFI, you will not be able to complete the daily actions, you may lose the Daily VersaPoints Streak badge. It is

Which is better...doing two separate blogs about SFI and TripleClicks...or a single blog about BOTH?

Definitely one.

When you have a blog you will be writing posts often, as often as every day. You can easily run out of topics to write about.

-By combining the two, you will have access to more topics to write about.
You can write about all aspects of SFI and TripleClicks, the games,Wave3, Pricebenders, the forum, a2a, etc.

-It will cost you more money and more time to keep two blogs and you may not see the return on your investment.

-You will

This is a good question and when answered should be useful for all affiliates on starting.

My answer
1-'Not Quit.'

It is so easy to quit due to:
-Information overload
-Problems navigating the site
-What to do next
-How to start earning an income
-Sponsor's lack of support

There is help and support all round, but knowing them takes time.

Until you know the tools and resources that are available, quitting in the first

Text Ad Exchanges or Safelists...which is best and why?

I use both traffic exchanges(TE) and safelists. They both have free and paid accounts, but I prefer the safelists.

With traffic exchanges you do not receive emails, you are expected to login to the TE with an account and view ads to get free credits. The email address you use is not as important. You are allowed a certain number of URL's to promote based on membership level.

With safelists you do not need

As it's been said, "You can lead a horse to the water but you cannot make it drink."
What you can do, though, is to provide enough good water.

Remember PSA's are adults with their own goals, expectations needs and wants. You cannot make them commit to anything unless they are motivated or because it is what they want to pursue in the first place.

What you can do is to ensure that they have the right tools so they can make an SFI informed decision.

When I started I didn't receive a welcome message from my sponsor, It was time consuming and sometimes frustrating trying to navigate around the SFI website and do what is best.

I could have easily been a FAST TRACKER. That would not have been a problem, because I signed in several times in the first 24 hours. I chose to navigate around the site instead. I spent hours navigating.

I kept watching the green line, but didn't understand how to remain above it to the end. I

The best way to begin the month is by knowing what you need to be successful.

For example,
Are you an EA2 who wants to advance to BTL?
Do you want to increase your sales, for more commission and a bigger check
Then set goals to advance to BTL or to increase sales.

Make a plan of action to achieve these goals- Write them down.

Important things to do:
Make a budget for paid actions, one that you can afford.
Make a time
